Thank you Court TV for editing out the breaks, really glad you are now live streaming trials in full.
Me too🎉
Ikr. It's about time. It's only 2024. Lol.
Not always! In the Darrell Brooks trial the breaks were epic!
Yeah, but didn't we all need serious breaks from good old Daryl!!!
Question and Answer done well. No talking over each other. The witness listens to the question and answers it directly and then does not say one more word. Excellent.
i know he's more credible than BM
The defense just sat there mute, allowing the prosecutor to ask leading questions throughout. This results in a very smooth Q&A that makes the defense look really bad.
He was coached by the persecutor .
His answers were always the same and didn't waiver. I believe he's telling the truth. Very detailed for we could visualize. The defense lawyer tried to confuse him, but his answers were always the same and direct.
@@Theresa89How much do you remember of one particular day 22 years ago without anyone providing transcripts, texts, photo evidence etc? If you knew anything about trial law you’d know that witnesses meet with attorneys to go over their testimony prior to their attendance at trial. His answers were concise and did not change from the pre trial hearings to the trial. He was polite and his answers were succinct.
This guys straight out of a movie😂
That is exactly what I was thinking; a horror movie.
He’s a dirty piece of garbage! I don’t ever want to know what s inside that head behind his glasses
😮😢
But I think he is a SOLID witness, believable and comes across as very credible, he's owned up to his part completely with nothing to hide.
😂😂😂😂evil people are very interesting characters.
@@tarakoschnitzke4730 oddly the defense pointed out he is consistent “was there a day this planned to happen? “ “no” “do you remember testifying prior in this case and you said there was no day this was set to happen” “yes” 👏 congrats defense you proved he is consistent!
I’d rather stand outside on my back deck, in a blizzard, if I had a basement like that. 😧
"Are you in prison?"
"I am in the depth of corrections.
"So you are in prison ..."😂
😅😂
I thought he said" the department of corrections"?
Why would he avoid saying prison? He has already done the worst thing on earth.
@@funkfunkable he did
Good question! 👍👍 I've seen that lots of times before...🤔
I bet he wished he had never bumped into that daughter at the gas station that day
He was a grown man, free to come and go as he wished. He could have said, "Hell no!" Instead, he said, ' yes.' In fact, he testified that he never thought about Robert after they murdered him. He sounds like a psychopath to me. Even now, he has no expression when discussing how they murdered that innocent man.
@@ek2137 I think he truly believed he was killing a man that was SA the girls in that house I have a feeling he suffered something similar at the hands of his alcoholic father and he was probably very young at the time of the crime .
I love listening to this prosecutor speak/talk.
@@ek2137he must have been very young
no one says he was not.
You studied psychology or psychiatry?
Expecting him to be emotional on the stand is idiotic. The victim was not someone he cared about, not his family. Does not mean he does not regret, just in a close relationship with the victim. He is making statements of fact from what he saw and heard and did.
The female told him the children were being abused by the victim. He believed it. Instead of demanding evidence and taking it to the police.
Typical females telling stories and asking others to help with their crimes. As guilty as he is, serving time for it, good that he is ensuring that she pays the price for her crime. She ran for years. Plotting the murder of the father of your child and actually killing him.
But, but, Beverly testified, "It was a superficial wound," when she hit him with the 'tool'? She forgot the part about burying the hammer his his skull. GULITY!!
She was awful on the stand .
I wonder what happened to the man in Jamaica . He’s missing 😂😂😂
Unbelievable how cold blooded this guy is telling the story. Jared Leto should play him in the movie. He plays a good psycho, and is a dead ringer for him.
He could also play Jesus
@@Tess-163
Absolutely!
I don't think he's "playing" a psyco. I believe he is one.
The poor daughter - tell her her father abandoned her knowing that she and her henchman and henchmen killed this man in the most cruel way. Just horrible and evil.
When did “conversate” become actual language…and WHY
@kellyhaavisto8619. Just type conversate into a search engine then click on the Merriam-Webster Webster definition. I always thought it was slang or used by people of a low education. I was wrong. The earliest documented written use was 1811. Definitely check it out. I still don’t like/appreciate the word. Thanks for your comment - you encouraged me to conduct research!!
I 🤔 think I heard that phrase in a comedy 🍿 movie 🍿… I’ll figure it out!
“I’m just coversating with you right now.” 🤔😂
Have a fantastic day! ☝️😃🌼
@kellyhaavisto8619. Google the word and click on the Merriam-Webster definition. I was amazed it was a word and the first documented written us of the word was in 1811! I’m glad you commented as it encouraged me to conduct research! I don’t like it either!
This guy is too c👀l to take off his c👀l gla$$es!! ☝️😎
Oh…”we liked to smoke pot.” That says it all! 😤🌬️🤤
Search the word and look at the results! First documented written use was in 1811! I don’t like it either!
If someone kills me, I’m worth more than Dollar Tree cleaning supplies.
😂😂
@@rec.thecriticSeriously, they can spring for a trip to Jamaica, but get blood on their floor, and it’s L.A.’s Totally AWESOME cleaner for you. 😳 Insult to (fatal) injury. 😬
@@heather3383Don't sleep on Awesome cleaning supplies, some are great.
😂😂
😂😂
The way Beverly looks at him with such hatred
If looks could kill!! She is pissed off!! She can’t believe he is on the stand, she’s disgusted by it
Well, duh!! He spilled the beans! How do you expect her to feel?....🤷🏻♀️
Very good Prosecutor. He is very clear and precise.
And great volume!
And the prosecutor asked the tough and right questions. And this killer answered it correct compared to killer McCallum....@@MaggieMay757
Great scary voice scarry😮 stay away from sin keep The Commandments of Almighty because He is a burning fire... He love thats way He died for all humans...
Was that a Prosecutor?
I thought that was just some guy who is very good at shouting.
It’s crazy that we are living in a world with some really sick people
Duhhhh & it's only gonna get worse
Its not a new phenomenon!..🤷🏻♀️
@@gingerwoo5589Why would it get worse?
At this rate, the Jury instructions will be "Please don't forget to find to her guilty."
They found love at the gas station picking up cigs …. Even had a first date in McDees while smoking pot. Say no more 😂
How romantic I'm jealous 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah but did they go to Walmart together 🤷♀️🤣🤣
It's a beautiful story 😅
😂exactly, very romantic🥰😅
@KoolestKiwi they went to the dollar store😂
This case is absolutely nuts! Who does such things??? That poor man. This defendant was on the run for 20 years and had another baby after abandoning her other 3 or 4 children too. This whole case is too f'd up not to be true.
Her daughter Dineane really had a hard life growing up with Bev. So did all her kids.
EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On top of EVERY husband she has had is dead!
I’m having a hard time understanding how she keeps getting all these men
The children have cool names. That’s the ONLY positive thing I could say about her.
This is one of the best witnesses I’ve seen in a trial for the prosecution.He did not waver, he did not flinch. I totally believe him.Thats why a person who has nothing to lose is very dangerous. Rip Robert. You didn’t deserve that,nobody does.
I feel sorry for Christopher over the fact her ever met Beverly McCallum. At least he chose to reveal the truth about what happened...unlike Beverly.
He only chose to tell the truth to save his own butt
Gotta watch those gas station's! 😂
I feel sorry for Robert.
They’re all a bunch of dirt bags.
It was only after he told the story of what happened to Robert that he was arrested, wasn’t he?
Darn how can people be so Evil 😢 Smdh
People talk about killings as if they are merely talking about going shopping. I don’t understand how killing became the new normal for people to get someone out of their life. God Bless this terrible world we live in 😢
Its nothing new, but thanks to social media, tales of these gruesome murders are spread far & wide really quickly!...
I absolutely believe him
100% this man is a SOLID witness!!
@@tarakoschnitzke4730He's a stone cold killer is what he is
Fkkn Aye, This Bloke was Solid all the way through, Set him free.@@tarakoschnitzke4730
I don't.
Every word.
He's clearly minimizing his level of participation in Roberto's murder. Probably because of how gruesome and stupid the murder was.
I disagree. He answered each and every question coming from the prosecutor. He did not try to hide information. Maybe the prosecution could have asked him more. But maybe his testimony was sufficient enough in this case. Who knows?
"She watched a lot of crime shows" he says about Beverly. Oh my.
Right 👀
I’m screwed if something accidentally happens to my husband ESP with the many half a$$ lazy investigations and they look in my CZcams or search history I’m screwed I’m going down for my husband falling at work while I’m at home if they base it off my entertainment interest! 😂
@@jessicabreen2961too funny 🤣
😬
@@jessicabreen2961
😂😂 same!!
Scary these monsters live among us.....even scarier this dude gets a deal for admitting his guilt
I’m glad he took a deal because he told the story to convict this crazy b!tch.
When you dance in Hell, you'll often have to deal w the devil!
Wow….the defence Lawyer did such a great job….for the prosecution! He went at the same incidents from different angles but the witness was solid and just reinforced their testimony. Considering good lawyers never ask questions they don't already know the answer to……these guys don't even know the witness’s names!
Lovely chap; too injured to work but fit, able and willing to commit murder, saw the victim's face off and dispose of the body.
This is crazy to see & hear!
"your honor, we were suffering from Reefer Madness"
CASE DISMISSED
I love that movie!
😂😂😂YEAH I agree what is her defense, I just don't get it
@@rec.thecriticI don’t believe the mother was involved other than making a comment about him being dead, which many do in a relationship, but don’t mean it. I think Deneen planned it & had him carry it at.
This crime is what nightmares are made of. I can’t fathom what Robert was thinking and going through at the time of this horrific tragedy. Beverly sitting there with her constant blinking and looking as if she wants to go to sleep, she looks as if she has not a care in this trial or anything else. Too bad Michigan doesn’t have the death penalty, because this monster surely deserves it.
Yeqh, I agree, but I'd love to know her story!...Just for s&g's! Love the judge!
Good Lord. Isn't he a charmer! What a useless pair!!! That poor victim! The sweet daughter was lied to for yrs not knowing he was murdered!! Can't imagine!!
What's wrong with him? You act as if he's so horrible.
@@Spoiled_horsegirl what's wrong!! My God aren't you listening!! He helped kill a man didn't bother to help prevent it!! Please!! Where's your moral values!!
Prosecutor gets an A!! 💯
Chris gets an A +
@@steelhurricane4041
Prosecutor was just some guy who was shouting. And in doing so giving a iotta of credence to the defender's meek disposition.
The real job in prosecution was done by whoever instructed and coached Christopher McMillan. And I don't necessarily mean that in conspiratorial way.
All this time and they finally caught up with her and him
He looked over his glasses to find her…😂
She is going down and he’s already spent 6 years in prison
It's lovely to see kevin nash testify in court today 😂
This codefendant describes all the brutality in an ice-cold manner. Man, even if this was taking place in 2002....it's pretty tough to listen to.
It’s disturbing. He’s utterly remorseless & he only got 15 yrs with his plea deal.
Agree!@@Molly-nj8fi
We don't know that for sjre, but he definitely has a flat affect. That could be due to long term drug use though...💁🏻♀️
@@KrisCorby-iv8dg Maybe that could have been a cause.
Although he admits to a deal for his testimony, I find his answers credible. He’s direct, no hesitation in his answers. It’s sad they even had to offer this murderer a deal. All involved should be spending the rest of their life behind bars. What a tragedy.
This is awful . Evilness. An entire group of evil people .
I wouldn't call them evil. That's a bit harsh.
I found the short film that was made by David Schock on the platform called VIMEO. It's called The Jack in the Box because at the time of the filming, this was still a cold case. He would not be identified until some time in 2015 or so as his paternal daughter saw this documentary and reported that she believed it was her father, Robert. It costs $9.99 and is extremely graphic showing his charred body. He would be found within 3 days of his murder by a farmer. It's very sad. I'm extremely grateful to this jury for convicting this monster and also grateful for Chris who you see here testifying in her murder trial. He has been in jail since 2019 along with the co-conspirator Dineann who is the daughter of the defendant. 😢
I couldn't imagine watching such a graphic movie and thinking to myself, "That could be my father," and then it turns out that he actually is her father. That has to be something that gives you nightmares for the rest of your life.
He said .. "I just had really good weed". 😅😅 This man is telling the whooole truth! I believe everything hes saying to a T
Seriously.
I missed that…
Wow!! Horrific!! How cruel and barbaric!! Seeing her reaction to his testimony and she looks annoyed but she knows she's guilty!! Why isn't that daneen there too on trial!?? Where is she? 😊
THINK SHE WAS CONVICTED
She was tried and convicted of murder in the 1st degree. 🙏🏼
Ty!
@@Christy-.And Beverly is being tried for Murder 2??! Why did she have to kill the man? He was the father of one of her daughters?
In prison.
Wow these wonderful people got to go to Jamaica after committing a horrific murder! Free for 20+ years! This guy was basically homeless & filing workman’s comp for some reason,in 2002, so now 3 meals a day, medical, whatever else the prison offers isn’t to bad! Sounds like he tried to go to Texas to be with Daneen, but went back to MI. I don’t think Robert was a great guy but don’t think he abused the kids, seems Beverly is just an evil person & instead of divorce, she wanted to kill her husband.
This is not her first husband to end up dead too
@@mirandaajames-1574 Really? How many others 😵?
@@albussnape2 All of them except the last one is alive and the one before that is reported as a “missing person”. There are 5 husbands in total. Plus there’s an implication she had something to do with her mother’s death and her son (youngest child) died due to a hole in his heart he was born with. Apparently she never sought out medical intervention for the condition.
How did they finally catch them ?
Prisons receives money for each inmate, multi million dollar business nothing in there is free.
Cross examination was a total failure
After watching her cross examination im surprised she was able to stay quiet during this witness
Ice cold!!
Defense attorney is TERRIBLE
You're terrible
Is it me or do these murderers just testify like taking a human life is normal, no big deal, just another activity in someone’s day, no respect for life 😳 people killing people, especially people they know 😮 I just can’t imagine taking someone’s life !!!!!!!!
and that's why they're murderers. they got no conscience.....
His plea also included telling the truth against her at trial. Remember he plead out in 2019!
But then, what do you expect them to do?
All three of these characters are dirty and lying to save their own ass, I wouldn't trust any of them to take care of my pet rock.
Thanks!
Damn, stone cold!!
A pound of weed for 20 bucks. Dang!!
Weed was 5-10 dollars back in the 70's
For sixteen ounces? Yeah fkn right, on what planet??
But the weed wasn’t anything like is today. We got nickel and dime bags and you needed the whole thing to get high…just sayin
Poor Robert My God. 3 of them he had no chance😢.

So how did the cops finally start looking into this? Did someone finally report dude missing or did someone involved go to the cops?
His body was found, can't find out by who in 2002, but he wasn't identified until 2015..I assume once they knew his identity, they traced his life
.
@@funkfunkable wow that's wild. Thanks for the info
In the opening statements, the prosecutor said that Dineane contacted the police after she saw "Jack In The Box," a documentary a professor from Hope College put together about a John Doe who was found in a blueberry field.
So she turned herself in?@@brayleeparkinsonauthor
His voice reminds me of Larry on Newhart. That’s where the similarities end. Larry was a sweetheart.
Hahaha, you’re right. I didn’t realize it until your comment. He was my favorite character too.
Who just plots a murder like that! just disgusting how can you live with yourself is beyond me
Re Chris: Can you imagine? This murderer was traveling between Jamaica and Michigan and Texas and who knows where else. Who knows how many innocent people crossed paths with this man? Scary!
Crossed paths with him? Lol! He did not plan the deed or actually start the killing.
I would be more concerned of the females.
Why don’t people just say “NO” to murder! They get drawn in to the devils plan!
Ice cold. I have a feeling not too many people would cross him in prison. Gorgeous man. Too bad his life took such a turn.

What’s the point of a microphone that doesn’t amplify (the judge said it didn’t)? I think she meant it doesn’t capture voices from far away; I’m not sure what the correct audio word is for this. 🤷🏻♀️
Wouldn't trust him as far as i could see him...he looks what he is...
The bat belonged to Robert according to Cicely’s testimony at the trial. She was the nine years old at the time of Robert’s death.
😂 I cracked up when he said, “I just had really good weed.” And the lawyer said …ok. That was worth playing a few times. And he volunteered “we did coke on the dining room table too” and the court room was crickets. 😂😂
How old was this Danine daughter? Honestly this woman is crazy.
38 i think
She was 21 when the murder took place
Heartless
If Bev’s looks could kill, this dude would be dead
The children have cool names. That’s the ONLY positive thing I could say about her.
He said he was told to stand behind the pillar in the basement (to wait for Robert), but prior to that he said he didn’t know the murder was happening that day UNTIL Beverly pushed him down the stairs.
Also, he didn’t mention Beverley’s involvement in his first interview, but AFTER he was told to “get ahead of this” and a potential plea (which ended up being 15 yrs instead of Life) Beverly is mentioned.
Also, the young daughter testified that she saw her sister running back to the van, while he says that the sister remained in the van with her siblings while he and Beverly set Robert on fire.
Also, back to the basement, they all took turns hitting Robert with the hammer?
Yes, I think Beverly IS involved, but I’m not convinced that her co-defendant is being 100%.
How are these people able to move to different countries so easily?
It's called an airplane
During cross, he said he was surprised when Beverly pushed him down the stairs but, during recross, he told the state that he was standing behind that pillar & looking at him falling from upstairs? A lot of his testimony is questionable.
I don't see how that would be questionable
I find this guy to be very credible. No emotion, and seems cold as can be, but I think that’s what makes me believe the story he’s telling.
Something is missing from this story. I believe he told the truth but left out a lot of what he personally did. I think he did hit him with that bat. Why burn it inside the trunk with Robert if you just hit a post and broke it and it wasn’t used against the victim? They all played a part in killing him.
Not his trial. He has already had his trial, years before, and he admitted to what he did.
Stop believing females cannot commit horrendous crimes.
That basement 🤮
Horror movie vibes
Dirt and bugs!! 😧
“I just had really good weed.” 😂😂
This is GRUESOME!!!
Why are they pronouncing ‘Charlotte’ all weird like ‘Char•Latte’ to make it sound fancy...
Why the heck was the daughter of Beverly McCallum, Dineane Ducharme, not asked during trial? Because of her sentence prior to this trial?
"I ended up stayin' and gettin' a job"...making brooms.
When his lawyer was examining him, he asked about the baseball ⚾️ bat. He said it was in the basement bc he "used to play baseball" in his answer to why his bat would be in the basement.
I don't understand why the Prosecutor never questioned that on cross.
I don't believe for one second that he had that bat from a time he played ball.
A virtually homeless man, who drinks and smokes pot daily & would have had no place to keep his bat (no permanent home, no car, no storage unit etc) would have not have needed "his bat" to play baseball.
More than likely it was a bat the girls used and thus goes to the issue of his premeditated.
Asking that as one of the first questions would have been a much quicker way of discrediting him than the super long way the Prosecutor took 😮.
He was a homeless man who smoked weed, drank alcohol, and did cocaine. As to the baseball bat, he never testified that the bat belonged to him. I believe he testified that it was already in the basement, and because he played baseball in HS, he played with the bat when he was in the basement smoking weed. I think the bat belonged to Robert, who loved baseball. The bat could have also belonged to Cecily. She testified that she played softball.
@@ek2137 he did he did. He said, "the bat's mine" . He changed what he Saud later.
It belonged to Robert but he, this man, used to play with it when he was there in the basement

Christopher turned out to be an excellent witness in this case.
looks like the murdered victim had a “come to Cheesus” experience… literally…
Does anyone know if all the previous husbands disappeared mysteriously?
One of Beverly’s kids was present? That’s horrible.
Her other daughter, who was present, helped kill him!
Her oldest daughter. She helped plan it.
Not his daughter though.

It's all on CZcams. She's already been convicted.
May God have mercy on your soul, if you ever get this defsense attorney to represent you.
HELP...why did Christopher get involved with murdering this man ?? I feel like this story is similar to movie FARGO....it seems like state of MI has alot of crazy evil residents...
Fargo !! Brilliant
@robinsmith. When I saw Fargo it was late at night, I'd never heard of it. It was so gruesome and scary!! Not even sure I watched all of it! I'd never heard of the actors in it! Later I saw and read of them,my kids,teenagers or older, knew of them even.
Probably promised money. Greed is always part of a murder plot 😢
Who is being charged and for what
Check video description?
This guy pled to 2nd degree murder and got a sentence of 15-40 years. As part of his plea deal, he had to testify against Beverly and her daughter, who is serving a life sentence for 1st degree murder. He was involved in the murder, although apparently Beverly is the one who pushed the victim down the stairs, beat him on the head with a hammer which got lodged in his skull, then wrapped his head in plastic wrap while he was still breathing. It's simply diabolical.
I answered you earlier, but seems it's been deleted.
Why don't you actually watch and listen.
If these people didn't exist, writers and film makers couldn't DREAM them up! Truth is infinitely stranger and less fathomable than fiction!!!
Don’t know anything about this case but she looks evil.

@Mrs.Fox827 Everyday it's just horrendous what evil people are doing. Almost makes one afraid to leave the house.
Has this guy ever been in prison before this incident?
Terrible defence!!! How many times can the prosecution ask Chris to repeat what he says x10 🙄 & put words in his mouth to agree with 🤷♀️ 😮 with zero objections
