It's unbelievable how a lost cell phone led to dead 17 yr old and one being going to prison for very long time….. And the phone was found later on.
His own friends got him killed
Well I saw a mark on her face and his witnesses stated they saw him punch her
Had he said hey guys I’m looking for a lost phone have you seen it, then those poor kids wouldn’t be having to relive the entire thing and he wouldn’t be facing a murder conviction.
The guys weird and he did or said something wrong for them to act the way they did in my experience nobody not even kids just calls out names like that unless you’re doing or saying something wrong
21:18 His response is "not at all, very true, no, I do not remember, I remember" to the same question.
Terrible thing that happened, but am I the only one who thinks Owen looks like a young Val Kilmer? Anyways, it’s plausible the defendant was acting in self defence, but deadly force was not a proportionate response to whatever threat he perceived… plus he threw the first punch!
have you ever seen nic stab 5 people with his "tool"
pencil neck judges and people creep me out
guess defense has never heard sticks and stones
Why are they not allowed to ask the lady what Nic said to her? Its not his wife
First guy looks like a ninja turtle
The defence lawyer is terrible at his job. He almost single-handedly turned the jury against him. What a fool
So many people are missing the fact that majority of the group consisted of children. They weren't adults and their brains weren't fully formed. Boys especially are not mature at 17. Mui was a grown man who messed with children. He admitted he lied about what happened. The children were consistent in their depiction of what occurred. Mui is going away for the rest of his life. BTW I'm old and work with children who aggravate my nerves to no end. I still believe that no matter how insulting the children were they didn't deserve to be stabbed or killed.
lol @ the qanon people and jan 6thers finding any way to make this incident political. Defendant had a duty to retreat if it was self defence and he chose to further approach… a law that existed before the alt right started the “woke america” propaganda
hes guilty of defending himself against a crazy group of teenagers.
These kids are SICKENING 0 respect, consideration or empathy.
They effed around and found out.
Lying because the prosecution and judge said it was okay. Wisconsin sinks lower than any place in the South when it comes to getting a fair trial. Avoid Wisconsin if possible.
Seems like not everybody learned their lesson.. Based on their act I presume they've had plenty of less costly opportunities before this incident also.
Somebody give me the cliff notes on this. Did the guy approach the kids or the other way around?
Bunch of liars . You have ruined an innocent mans life.
“For the culture” of a mob of intoxicated brats. Disgusting kids.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but if a bunch of unruly kids came at me shouting “for the culture”, I would have thought that’s the end of me. What does that even mean??
Why wasn’t Madison’s testimony streamed? She hiding something? Scared?
So it’s okay for anybody let alone a fully functional adult to insert a weapon into the chest of another, for words?
Not to mention assault a half clothes minor female??
Disgusting
Miu may not have an abundance of injuries to show for, but he also doesn't have to be beaten to a pulp for self-defense to be proven applicable. Having minimal injuries just indicates to me that he effectively defended himself against a perceived imminent threat from the involved parties. Who's to say he couldn't hit his head on a rock when he fell, and die from a brain injury as a result? Or possibly have a heart attack? His calm/unaffected demeanor seen later might be due to removal of the "imminent threat". Reality of the violent aftermath probably set in when he was confronted by police, then he lied to avoid going to jail.
The Nurse Examiner observed abrasions on Miu's right knuckle. Were those from punching "the blonde woman" with his right hand? Could they be from getting back up after being pushed down in the water? She also noted he did not appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the exam. I can't help but contrast her findings with one of the parent's testimony, who claimed he could tell from afar that Miu appeared very drunk. Was he sober by the time the exam took place?
By the way, no one involved was under the age of 17 years old during this incident. Regarding the legal definition of a minor in WI, statute provides: (1) Definitions. In this section: (a) “Captures a representation" has the meaning given in s. 942.09 (1) (a). (b) “Minor" means an individual who is under 17 years of age.
So, had any individual from the groups killed Miu, they would be tried as a full-fledged adult; Not a "child", nor a "kid", "juvenile" or "teenager" based on the legal definition.
Recreational marijuana use is not yet legal in WI and likely played a part (along with drinking) in immature teenagers making poor choices. Some of those choices clearly influenced Miu's as well. His response (right or wrong) to the group members' actions will either be agreed upon in the legal context of self-defense by the jury, or not. Honestly, I think the defense attorney is doing an excellent job representing his client thus far.
TL;DR – I hope the jury bases their decision on facts and evidence presented, rather than constructs concerning age, appearance, or whether the prosecutor, defense attorney or any witness is "likeable" throughout the trial.
They were kids?!? They were young adults. They were not kids.
This kid is lying. They decided on a story later bc they looked so bad.
For the rest of their lives every time these kids apply for a job if their perspective employer does an internet search, how they conducted themselves during this trial will be brought up.
This kid looks like frodo
Ugh, your sound is deplorable.
The only victim in this case is Nic.
Lil Bo Peep lying through his teeth
what kind of parent backs this kind of behavior,will they do it again? not now,should have been taught better,seem they have learned to lie and blame others for there actions.Attacted the wrong person.Parents might not have been taught any better,who knows.Sad deal.
Now they wanna cry after trying to be bullies 😅 diesnt he just look like a wannabe bully shthead?
He should be so ashamed of himself for his behaviour that day, if anything him and the other friends killed their own friend by provoking and almost killing someone themselves. What a twisted case.
These boys thought that their bullying was so funny until the tables turned.
That kid is not being real, what a joke. Fvck around and find out!
Again, sometimes "Things" have consequences for Bullies.
This prosecutor is terrible! Defence team is doing a much better job. He will get off for sure. But at the end of the day he stabbed all those people and killed one of them. And lied about it. No winners here I’m afraid
I don’t believe one word any of those kids say. They’re responsible for Isaac’s death and for stealing
two years of the defendant’s life. The girls are also guilty, along with Isaac himself. The DA and prosecutor should be ashamed of themselves. Charges were brought against the wrong party. Unbelievable!
Oh now he is a little victim. Go cry to your mommy.
Mui would be dead if he didn’t have a knife with him. These kids kids would be on the stand as defendants.
If these broccoli heads weren't bullying 52 year olds their friend would still be alive today.
Friday The 13th at Camp Crystal Lake vibes
Ya the kids were total punks , but the guy awkwardly came over and acted a bit spooky . They didn’t let him leave after he punched the girl , that was all of their death sentences .
I feel like Wisconsin needs classes on what self defense means and what murder means.
The prosecutor is making me want to scream. He doesn’t say anything with confidence. So frustrating! He is hard to listen to. It’s very unfortunate.
