- Deputy Shelby Eggers, who was the other deputy wounded in the shooting, spoke in court about the night of the shooting for the first time.
Kenneth Wayne DeHart Jr.'s case has been bound over to a grand jury after the state argued he should be charged with premeditated first-degree murder in the shooting death of Blount County Deputy Greg McCowan.
What a sorry excuse for a human. I hope Tennessee has capital punishment!
They do have Capital Punishment...
Oh we do
No need to be such a thug & wanting to kill a person just because.
It does
@@AB-et1ug wait a minute. Are you saying that nobody has a right to say an eye for an eye?
You're absolutely Delusional if you're under that impression.
IF LOOKS COULD KILL... she was staring daggers at the defendant
It's ridiculous he was in jail for hurting people 3 times over about 20 years and was allowed back in the streets how did they think this would end, it's so sad people get more time for drugs.
Then you clearly have no idea how destructive drugs are, and not just limited to the user.
Just like cops huh?
Murder in self defense

Too cowardly to own up to his crime.... what a waste of matter
The way she told the first responding officer that she was ok and to take care of Greg-broke my heart!!

Dude escalated a dui to felony murder of an officer. SMH
Yeah he def escalated, showed up screaming at the top of his lungs instead of simply asking a couple questions or just talking to him. I still hate that it though, obviously terrible way to go out for anyone.
Don't forget Attempted Felony Murder on LEO
No, not DUI. Being caught with an illegal firearm as a convicted felon. So the stakes were a lot higher for him.
Dude this female cop escalated trafic stop by a DWI smelling weed taser brutality and murder this police officer (She kill this officer)
@mapool1485 did u watch the video? Dude was swerving all over the road. She asked him to get out of the car. The I smell weed as probable cause is bs but he wouldn't have gotten pulled over if he wasnt on the wrong side of the road
He knew he was a felon in possession of a weapon that's why he made it so difficult even after several times asking.
Correction: He just wanted real probable cause not some made up story like oh I smell weed …
@@intuitivefugitive8852 🐴💩... Probable cause was Being in the wrong lane and forcing oncoming traffic off the road.. repeatedly.
The mere fact rather he had a weapon or not she knew who he was, addressing him by his first name a lane citation would of suffice,however the continuous,profiling&harassment the whole encounter was totally unnecessary, however given being biased tend to be one sided. Only wanting the
law to be upheld when it comes to your rights. It's very unfortunate that officer lost his life she got him killed THAT WAS SELF DEFENSE. WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INVESTIGATES IT'LL BE SELF DEFENSE
@@SuperYoyoitsmeNot even close to self defense
@@SuperYoyoitsmeplay close attention as time goes on because the TBI will educate you . Why as a felon have a loaded weapon shot gun shells a clip ??? I guess he will claim it was all mamas fault. 🤦♀️
He can rot in jail for the rest of his life as far as im concerned after seeing the footage.
What was the point of pulling him out of his vehicle again? Wasn't it just a traffic stop?
@@samward9641did you not see how he was driving? She was conducting a DUI investigation and in order for that to happen, he would need to be out of the vehicle.
@@samward9641 type of dude to not care if this guy hit an innocent family driving under the influence
@@MSFHFEV So when the deputy slammed the door close, preventing him from leaving the car, and then continued to tase the man, that was to keep us all safe? Charge him for illegal lane change and resisting arrest, but I saw self defense and not murder
@@apenny4urpodcast959 yes it was definitely the deputy slamming the door and not the individual in the car REFUSING to step out 🙄
his family had to go to prison for helping criminals

His family needs jail for real, who the hell hides a murderer? Criminals do@@johnjohnkins6596
According to the dash cam video, this person continued to cross the yellow line, which I would think intoxicated, so now we have a possible intoxicated, who refuses to comply with lawful commands. He is a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He shoots both officers, taking the life of one and wounding the other and then flees the scene and it’s all done in front of a camera. What could possibly be his defense?
Oh, they suspected him of being intoxicated? I only watched the last part, he didn't sound wasted and he had his kids in the car. But that doesn't mean he wasn't wasted I guess
@@samward9641watch the ENTIRE video before forming an opinion. He was driving completely on the wrong side of the road and no he did not have his kids in the car.
He also didn’t have kids in the car @samward9641
She is the only guilty one
@@samward9641 it would help if you would watch the video. he was high on marijuana and no one else was in the car.
It’s sad the amount of people trying to defend this felon. He had MULTIPLE opportunities to comply and didn’t.
He’s not the one who bled out in the grass crying for their mother lol
What facts do you have in your possession that states this guy is a felon ..
The guy is a loser. A blatant disrespect for the law and order. A dope smoking fool with a lethal weapon by his side.
I think some people just want liberty and justice because you see so many cops getting away with murder he for should have complied because a life was taken.
@willp9543 they stated that in court, duh.
He knew he was going to jail when those lights came on behind him. First degree murder sounds like a correct charge.
id be willing to go as far as premeditated murder, he knew the moment he pulled over he was gonna do whatever he could to escape including mmurder and his actions after killing the other officer but cussing and taunting the female as he ran over he partner and shot her.....domestic terrorism if we really wanna push it
@@prebletucky4269 I believe first degree is premeditated isn’t it? I have no idea. All I do know is there’s right and wrong. This was a clear decision he had sooooo much time to not carry out. So. Much. Time. Can’t say what people think, but, if he was smoking weed. He wasn’t thinking too clear anyway. As controversial as it is. Weed isn’t legal here yet, neither is being a convicted felon with several firearms on you. Should’ve stayed at your baby mamas house dude, or the sons game.
@@prebletucky4269 it is an obvious second degree murder. First degree premeditated murder means he got pulled over on purpose with intentions of killing them. If that was his intention he wouldnt have argued for a dog and waited until he was tased 4 times.
Id say he is just guilty of firing a weapon in city limits 😆
@@prebletucky4269 bet u didn't say that about Derek Shaven
Why the f does a grown man call his grandmother during a traffic stop.
Because it was her vehicle and he couldn't find the insurance information.
Just in case he had admited the possesion of a gun what would his jail time had been?
Blacks always do this on traffic stops, calling their moms, baby mommas and so on
If she wasn’t trying to do a man’s job none of this would’ve happened. They always use that “I smell weed” excuse to violate someone’s rights. If she had been fair and just wrote him a ticket that poor officer would still be alive! Women need to stay in their dam place. See that is what’s wrong with the world today, Mfs not knowing their place!
@@MydogsnameisbarneyKnowing the criminal justice system, prob like 2-3 months. The average is technically 5 years though. But I just have a hard time that with his record, this would be the charge that actually locks him up for a while.
that clerk sitting in front of the bench looks like he needs a bigger work space
Exactly that's what thought too.

So we just ignore the very last comment DeHart made while he was driving off.... lets get real people he had already made his mind up he wasnt getting out of that car because of the gun.
There was also 2 shotgun shells in the car along with the weapons casings of the murder weapon. He had more in granny's car...
its equal treatment this what you people want with the hate
He didn't need to get out of the car
Now you just made that up for sure because how you know he wasn't going just drive off like many others do. The DA office is corrupt because this isn't a first degree murder period but we seen many cases that were first degree for real but the DA office charged second degree murder. Law enforcement just do whatever they want and that's why they are in that court room now because somebody didn't stand for their nonsense. This case can be looked at as a self defense case because he was being repeatedly teased which can be and have been fatal and beside all that, his Rights were violated in the first place. There is a saying that says ( bad things lead to bad things).
The DA office is corrupt because this isn't no first degree murder for sure. Some can make the argument that it was self defense because he was being teased repeatedly which can be and have been fatal and that's what the defense attorney is hinting at here. Law enforcement do whatever they want but as we all can see, sometimes it comes at a price. His Rights were being violated. He was wrong in the way he handled it but everyone don't think the same and in my opinion, all 3 of them played a roll in the way this turned out. No fair trial here 😅.
He was all over the road. Anyone would have been pulled over for driving like that.
She had a good reason to stop him. He could have caused an accident.
How? It was dark so you could clearly see when cars were coming as their lights were on. At no point did he put other drivers in danger. She said he did but she lied.
Could have should have would have.

No trial needed with the video
It didn’t show the entirety and what he was yelling out his window as he shot them and drove off but you can see the whole video on Police Activity. It’s pretty brutal.
I kinda felt the same way. The only thing I can think of is they’re trying to prove/disprove intent, premeditated, etc. basically what level of murder was committed and if he felt like he was defending himself. Waste of time.

Hopefully Blount County won’t drop the ball and let this man out of custody again. The guy should’ve never been allowed out after the first two violent felonies he had gotten.
They won’t. This is Tennessee
@@owenbarnebey1543 they already did. He was charged with violent felonies in Blount county Tennessee in the past must’ve just gave him probation
Yall sound prejudiced and keep ignoring the video he needs a good civil rights attorney
He completed complyed she is the aggressor and she should have let him go she was looking for something because he was a black man he looked sober to me!
@@shavonecheairs650 he did not comply. Look up Pennsylvania vs Mimms. If law enforcement is not allowed to investigate crime (field sobriety or odor of marijuana) then everyone can drive impaired and transport drugs with no consequence. Instead of dealing with consequences of his actions being arrested or just receiving a citation he decided to murder and attempt to murder a law enforcement officer. In no world is that acceptable or on any spectrum to be explained as innocent behavior.
Somebody put a MIC on the witness stand Really.
He tried the race card right away, pulled me over cuz I'm black and I have dreadlocks. Smh
A racist would totally say this...
@@ChiefXAliAnd only an idiot would believe that. She pulled him over because he's black.... Considering it was dark and she was pretty far behind him...guess she used her race detector to know his color
@@ChiefXAli That's why you said it. Love all people, but there's no raical crime here. Just his attempt to get out of the situation he was in.
@@jerrykilgore1494 I’m a Black man…there’s no way I can be a racist because I don’t practice racism. So my comment still stands. This is some racist WPS.
well its half the country that lets these idiots get away with these excuses....just saying
OMG! Did this half dead defense lawyer seriously think there was a 3rd Deputy there just sitting in the cruiser doing nothing??!!!??!!! 😮
I think he was trying to lead that she didn’t see DeHart shoot & was going to try and make it appear the partner in the car, that wasn’t even there ….could have shot them. That’s just my opinion on it & quickly realized, he just made an idiot of himself.
He was so soft spoken that I was waiting for the quiet strike, that never came. I think he could get an appeal on this trial. Thanking the officer with dealing with a difficult situation and that it was obvious that the officer could not tell if the defendants face was flushed 🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@psweeneyville 😂 An appeal? On what? You are joking right?
The only job in law enforcement that a woman should have is typing reports and searching females, THAT’S IT! If women can’t be on the frontline in the military, then they shouldn’t be cops!
@@psweeneyvilleNeither nor both of these statements combined rise to the level of ineffective counsel. Not even close. Even when counsel is incompetent, it’s extremely difficult to win this issue on appeal. Lastly, highly unlikely he’s going to appeal on a preliminary hearing ruling, especially with these videos.

The defense lawyer says “uh” before and after every question.
The criminal is going to get the justice he deserves.
Some people do that. It is a little annoying.
This isn't about race, this could have been avoided, you have a covicted felon, driving in the middle of the road, in possession of a firearm, presumably smoking weed, you have an officer doing her job, along with her partner, he was asked at least 40 times to exit the vehicle, he knew, he wasn't exiting that vehicle, without a fight, sad, God gave man freewill, only for some to throw it away, selfishly.
Didn't this guy just have arraignment? Are they trying to push and give this guy a speedy trial? He's getting the death penalty.

@@RealBadDaddy How are body cameras deep "fake" videos? Police have body cameras not just for their safety and protection, but rights and evidence in case of something happening ON CAMERA TO THEM OR THE VICTIM. Bro is literally seen on camera pulling out his little caliber and intentionally shooting 2 police officers, one fatally.
In Tennessee, justice should be swift & just.
If it weren’t for body cameras they would’ve already killed him.
Not hardly, most people in his shoes in TN sit on death row for 30 years
Tennessee? Everywhere!! 🇺🇸
The law in Tennessee has changed. You get executed 30 business days after your last appeal.
Justice was served but it was not swift . It built up to the driver having to defend his life against his attacker
This just shows the incredible risk Police Officers place themselves in whilst protecting their communities, may God have his hand upon them all....
God is sovereign and has his hand on everything he wrote the ending when he wrote the beginning do you not know this?

Everyone focused on the weed, but he was already suspected DUI, so he would have been told to exit the vehicle regardless.
Exactly. These braindead commenters can't get past the weed, because weed is all they know.
Exactly. Apparently some people on this comment section believe you’re allowed to shoot and kill the police if you disagree with what they’re asking you to do.
Exactly. She didn’t even have to bring up the weed smell. She should have just said it was suspected DUI based on his failure to maintain a lane.
She knew he was not intoxicated because he was well spoken and articulate and she did not smell alcohol so she lied about weed smell because it's more easier to lie about
@@Officialbarz Driving Under the Influence. Could be weed or alcohol, doesn't matter. Asking someone to exit their vehicle on a traffic stop is a lawful order ( Pennsylvania v. Mimms (1977): an officer may order a driver out of their car during a traffic stop). Doesn't really matter what happened before he decided to commit murder.
In the part of the United States that I currently live in if you intentionally murder a Police Officer you would automatically get the death penalty.
This needs to be a Death Penalty case Period.

Public defender is legally blind and cannot see the video.
Apparently, he still has some sight (although legally blind), because he’s been writing and then he was reading those notes when crossing Officer Eggers. He also referred to something on the video which made me think he could make out some of it. Also, he’s no doubt used special devices to view the videos prior to this hearing. One doesn’t have to be totally blind to be considered legally blind.
He's mostly blind, he's a decent Public defender got me out some trouble when i was a Blount county regular. Crazy to see this place hasn't changed in 5 years l moved out of Maryville tn

Yup, I heard that too. He said "I just got high ''
He got upset cause he knew it was game over for him being a felon in possession of a firearm that’s why he did t want to get out and have the vehicle searched,he knew he was going to prison,now instead of spending a year or two in prison he’s gone fir life and that’s where he should have been to begin with he obviously was not fit to be in society due to anger issues which us the reason he’s a felon and now he’s a murderer who will answer to god which is worse

@@nicholasowens8126 Yep, he knew the gun was going to send him to prison. The people in the back laughing as they left make me ill.
Fair trial,what about that deputy that was killed how was that fair
For all the, I'm just an ordinary guy with a family, work, and everyday problems act, the handgun he carried despite being a convicted felon says a different story.... I'm tired of hearing over and over racism is the reason for accusations, not the criminal history of an individual, and seeing this happen many times, I have to give police credit for not approaching everyone with weapon drawn and a ballistic shield.
As a retired police officer, I fell for Deputy Eggers, to see her cringe every time she hears those shots. I'm sorry my sister in blue that moment will forever haunt you. To have to sit across from that monster and not say a word to him.
Wait a minute!!!!! This guys attorney is legally blind, and cannot even drive... wtf?!
Is this why he is leaning towards the table? I thought he was falling asleep.
I assume that's why he has two.
And the best public defender lawyer that Blount county has very respected... Mac Garner
He's just doing his job
So.
Justice in this case should be sure and swift
Should be thrown out no probable cause to pull him out even after watching the whole thing smell of weed isn't enough to say your searching the vehicle let alone 1st degree murder if it gets pushed thru by this bias judge. Eggers failed hard as an officer and they wanna clean it up quick but from what I've seen it's all on Eggers and her overly aggressive partner if I was a juror at this point not guilty and Eggers fired and charged with manslaughter for getting her partner killed. Why didn't he say anything about the smell of weed because it wasn't present
That initial stare was ice cold. ❄️
She's a punk and a blue line gangster and her partner
Wow! Ice was formed !!
Pure ice and hate. Understandable.
That’s what happens when cops racial profile
In all seriousness, how does anyone plead “not guilty”?
BLM? Maybe its BLM? Or maybe its BLM? Or it could be that its a BLM thing? Either way, I bet it has something to do with BLM.
They were beating up on him and were about to kill him. Self defense for sure.
Its a stretch to say he was being beaten and
'about to be killed'. Again, body and dash cam will always show the truth, and taser was used not a service weapon. With all due respect the video clearly shows Mr. Deheart chose to not get out of the car after repeated requests looking very guilty. I would think if one thinks African Americans are wantonly killed by police then why not follow commands, if your truly afraid of being killed then why not get out of the car, are your chances better if you resist? Why not lower your chances of being shot by co-operating? Was it worth it?Terrible choices@@Mister_Holdsworth
Self defense against road pirates!
@@DD-lc9jvMore like the 4th amendment you should read it.
Defense is right! Premeditation may not have been there in the initial shooting, but there definitely was when the defendant leaned out and shot the downed officer twice!!
I’m sorry but respectfully disagree only because he was never going to comply and didn’t reveal he had a gun. I think that’s premeditated
Dude had a gun on him as a convicted felon, as soon as he got pulled over he knew he was going to jail.. executes the officer and then hides for 5 days. Premeditated all the way.
Imagine being the defense attorney for this monster
It's just a job to them. With the overwhelming evidence against this murderer, the public defender can only try to lesson his sentence, such as trying to get the defendant to plead guilty to prevent the death penalty.
Before all the people challenged between the ears start showing up in the comment section, he lost all his “rights” the minute he swerved into the other lane. You see there is this thing called driving under the influence and it’s illegal in this country. That swerve was enough probably cause to get him out of the car for a field sobriety test. He could have gotten out and passed with flying colors but chose and much more dangerous route. It’s funny how some people are so quick to defend criminals.
So true! Lord GOD these folks are owned by Satan and so deceived. They are the first ones to call the law when they need help!
The dash cam footage shows him literally driving in the middle of the double lines several times. Easily he could have hit an oncoming car. He knew he was not to be in possession of a gun. Too, I will never understand why ppl can’t wait until they get home to smoke their weed.
They never asked him to do one just to get out for her to search the car
Funny she never mentioned smell of weed or call partner until after she ran his name seen where came back as felon. You can see her look up his name first before calls partner
They can do that. She smelled weed.@@travisstoycon8248
In no way was there abusive towards him. He should have already taken a plea deal. A felon with a weapon. AND IF ANY OF YOU WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE ACCUAL FOOTAGE, He cussed the officer after he killed him before he left him like trash on the side of the road. Get your facts strait.

@@NewEdgeDesignsthat’s not true. Marijuana is a Scheduled I drug still & is illegal in the state of Tennessee. It is not a “burnt plant.” It’s a drug. He was a felon in the possession of it & of a firearm. It’s disgusting that you’d even attempt to justify his behavior.
@@mackenzieivy8780 *Schedule VI* not I, and well said. The fact anyone could try to justify his behavior in any capacity is absurd.
All I can do is cry when I see what this criminal done to these officers. Shelby stay strong❤
He is on carcam driving into the oncoming lane multiple times DUI.
First officer asked him very respectfully to get out of the car, he played the race card.
Prior convictions of multiple assaults, drugs, strangling a woman, possession of a gun by a felon.
Court gave him a slap on the wrist for that.
If he had just got out of the car, as required by law, no one would have been hurt.
But he was carrying a gun for a reason.
Ignorance is bliss! People need to get out of the area they live in and go to school and college and travel to other towns and states. Also, other culture and countries. Maybe grow up and follow the laws and comply. This country is way gone to hell!
Yep since 1492‼️
The idiocy on display in some of these comments is just astounding to me.
Never argue with an ignorant person because they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
It's because we kicked God out
In my way of thinking, there's not too much more that can come out at trial. We have two dash cam videos and audio which pretty clearly show what happened. I haven't seen if there is any body cam footage, but doesn't seem that necessary. Even a question of pre-meditation was brought up. Personally, I don't think he was thinking 'I'm gonna kill this cop and any other cop that shows up' when the female office first pulled him over and approached his car, so, nah, not pre-meditated. But come on! This trial shouldn't take long at all. Make it make sense.
both body cam footage has been released
@@anthonystaggs6239 FULL DISCLOSURE. I must have had a brain fart. I remember seeing the body cam footage. There was a video on YT with dash cam and body cam footage side by side. *facepalm*
He was being tazed. It was self defense.
The cops told him to step out of the vehicle nicely, and he didn't comply. Stop defending a murderer. @magnetshakur
@@magnetshakur so, let me see if I follow your line of reasoning.
Cop pulls him over for swerving/suspected dui.
He refuses to comply (several times) and disregards multiple lawful orders to step out of the vehicle.
After being combative with officers, he gets tazed. (less than lethal).
He pulls a gun and shoots two officers, killing one of them.
But that was self defense?
WHISKEY.
TANGO.
FOXTROT.
Resisting arrest penalties need to be much more srious to make a point. If he had willingly go along with the officer then none of this would have happened.
That’s such a huge issue in todays society. People feel as though they don’t have to listen to the police whether the stop is justified or not which obviously escalates the situation very quickly. If you’re truly not in the wrong, you take it to court, but even if you’re in the right, you’re not allowed to resist arrest or detainment. I think some people want to become a martyr for their community
Why is there even a trial, it’s on video. Death penalty
That pesky thing called the Constitution.
Everyone is innocent until proven, and found guilty in a court of law. Like it or not, that is how our constitution works.
@@markosborne2650 I understand Pineforgeknives statement, but people gotta respect due process (innocent until proven guilty in a court of law) no matter how obvious it may appear. It's a vital part of keeping the government from overreaching. And while this is not a case like that, there will ALWAYS be the risk of governmental overreach at all levels all the time which is why the constitutional rights are so important.
This looks to be a preliminary hearing to gather the evidence first to build a case for trial. He must've pleaded not guilty.
She pulled him over for crossing the double lines several times! Everyone could see clearly on video! What would be happening now if he killed someone with his driving? She could also be giving him a soberity test and the same results?
Okay , so that she should have written him a track of ticket or if she was going to arrest him for it , then she should have told him that. what you are talking about has nothing to do with the problem at hand at this point
Hahaha @@_I__AM__GOD_
@@_I__AM__GOD_you can’t arrest someone until you actually search the suspect or vehicle and find something illegal and u have to have them step out of the vehicle for that. He didn’t wanna face the consequences of him carrying a gun as a felon and chose to shoot them instead
@@_I__AM__GOD_you are ridiculous
@@WartimeProfiteer no those PIGS are ridiculous
Sending love and prayers to Deputy McCowans’ family.
I watched the full video captured from all four cameras a couple of nights ago and Deputy Eggers’ poise and professionalism throughout the traffic stop, the subsequent shooting, and while testifying in court is to be commended. You can tell it isn’t easy for her-she’s tapping to remain focused-but I sincerely hope this doesn’t have a permanent negative effect on her ability to continue serving her community. It must have been horrible to watch back the videos and see her colleague die while she fought as hard as she could to get to him and render aid. It was heartbreaking to see.
As a side note, I think it’s ridiculous when a defense attorney makes a witness retell parts of the testimony they just gave as if they hadn’t. It makes them seem incompetent. I get his explanation for not being able to see the video well, but she did run through it before the video and there was audio with the video. And, did the other defense attorney essentially tell him to stop and sit down?
Shelby seems like a tough chic. She was as nice as can be to this criminal and got shot as a thank you
Miss Eggers did very well during her testimony
I feel sorry for her that she had to relive that.
Either this public defender shrunk and lost 100 pounds or thats not his suit😂

@@_I__AM__GOD_you are delusional take your meds
It seems the 13% have a problem with taking basic orders in this country. When an officer tells you to get out of the car it's not up for negotiation, he is not asking you, he is telling you. Whether the officer is right or wrong is not up to you, it's up to a court of law. They should have had their service weapons out immediately instead of trying to be politically correct.
U blue line gangster
Bro it be 2024 fam we aint neva finna change tho on god bro. I feel like sometime you got to except people for the way they is bro.
@@jaydee9086 Yes, it's 2024; we know this, and one day it will be 2050, and unfortunately we will still see this type of behavior taking place if some of the members of your community still refuse to conform to the laws of the land. Nobody should ever want nor have to accept lawlessness. People must change; otherwise, nothing will change.
@@jimbob-sc9jnthat,13 percent Will grow but you're birth rates are down 😂 think about that hurts huh
@@AlonzoGraves The percentage could be at 30% and what I said will still ring true. Yes, Caucasian birth rates are down while homicides in your community have been off the charts. To put it in perspective, the homicide rate for Caucasian males has never gone above 8.4 per 100,000 since 1960. Your community is its own worst enemy. I can't imagine that makes you very pleased, I know I wouldn't be.
Serious question why arent they equipped with seatbelt cutters ? Like the ones they sell if u crash underwater i think its like 2sec i think
It is entitlement, that is exactly what this killer is thinking.
Here in Tennessee, we don't play around. This man should be UNDER the jail by the end of the year.
Defendant should of turned himself in but I am sure he still thinks none of this is his fault.
Obey the law. Comply. Then you want have to defend wrong. The convicted felon had a gun(s), had a prior conviction due to beating his girlfriend almost to death. Not much of a leg to stand on with any excuse as far as killing someone. Why didnt he just drive off or never have stopped. Maybe this murderer has anger issues? Ya think.
Lol right
Try being a black man raised in east10. Until you do, stfu!
I see PTSD sitting in the witness stand. God bless these officers for their bravery.
The majority of us will never have to come up with that kind of money for an attorney because we would never do what he did.😑
Big money in drug dealing
Very true but I wonder what a legally blind attorney could charge when he can't see the screen to argue what went on nor debate the officer's false testimony?
@@Mister_Holdsworth They have coworkers if needed
If he wanted to”fair” he shouldn’t have murdered a man
that female cop is so brave. when she testified she could have cut glass with that stare. Nothing but prayers for her and the deputy who lost his life. What a tragedy
Deputy Shelby Eggers, my heart is with you and I’m hurting with you! Prayers for Deputy McCowan, his family and the Blount County Sheriff’s Office! 😢🙏🙏🙏
There a saying when the MIND IS WEAK THE BODY WILL SUFFER NOW HES GONNA SIT IN PRISON THREW HIS LIFE AWAY!!! regardless on when u think people he took someones life and almost another he didn't cooperate BOTTOM LINE!!!
The comments trying to defend the indefensible are so cringe lol.
They are just trolls. If they actually believe what they are saying, they are airheads of the highest order.
Death penalty glad this isnt NY they would have released him and gave him 10k$ to enjoy his freedom
Exactly!
Sounds like you wanted the Central Park 5 executed. I am sure you were cheering, and more disappointed than sorry they were innocent.
Cant imagine what GOD would think of this. Sad.
Stop now you want to be part of someone getting killed?
officer McCowan was such a good man i met him a few times i hate this happened to him and officer shelby my prayers go out to shelby mccowan and his family abd the whole police family
same people all the time
As he drove away he yells " I TOLD YOU "
Didn't he?
What lawyer wants to defend a cop killer
Letting him tell someone on the phone to come to the scene of the traffic stop was a dangerous slip up.
Felon with a gun was much less time than murder and attempted. People just don't think.
Video proves everything no trial needed.
Video shows police beating him up and then he shoots them. It was clearly self defense. If you don't believe that then that's why there's a trial.
@@Mister_Holdsworth however, I agree that a trial is needed. That's due process. No matter what we all may think of his guilt, he has a right to a trial that includes a presumption of innocence and therefore a burden of proof on the state to present evidence for a jury to determine verdict.
@@Mister_Holdsworthyeah just let all criminals walk. Typical liberal mindset
@@MichaelShropshire-mg5mnvideo shows 2 murderers trying to take a citizens' life over a smell of a plant not a DUI or his unknown background!! Clearly, you're comfortable with defending the initiators of evil!!!!
Dude said he was putting his hair up and then later called his mommy to try to help bail him out. 🤡🗺
When your attorney has bed hair you are f**ked!
😂
Officer Shelby is brave, strong and beautiful so glad she survived and hope this guy doesn’t get to see another free day in his life he didn’t need to do what he did.
