In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: Social media can often show distorted versions of reality. For Derek Medina, however, one social media post was all too real.
Derek and his wife Jennifer Alfonso lived in Miami and endured tumultuous times during their relationship. The two got married after only a month of dating, but the honeymoon phase didn’t last long.
Derek filed for divorce, and Jennifer moved into her own apartment. Soon enough, they reconciled and got married again. But the second time proved to be like the first, with the arguing continuing.
On August 8, 2013, Jennifer got mad at Derek because he didn’t wake her up on time. She apparently started throwing things at him, then went to the kitchen to make pancakes for her daughter. He walked downstairs, and she started hitting him. He walked away, then reemerged with a gun in his hand.
Jennifer grabbed a knife, but Derek took hold of it and then shot her eight times.
Her 10-year-old daughter was upstairs the entire time.
Surveillance cameras in the house caught the shooting… but it gets worse.
Derek left the house with his murdered wife in the kitchen and the young girl in her room. Then, he posted a photo on Facebook of his dead wife. He even wrote on Facebook, “I’m going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife.”
He surrendered to police and was charged with Jennifer’s murder, though he claimed he killed her in self-defense.
In March 2016, a jury found Derek guilty of second-degree murder and other charges. He appealed the conviction, but in November 2018, the appellate court upheld the lower court’s verdict and sentencing.
Let’s take a look back at the case involving a mother’s murder and her husband’s decision to display his actions for all of his Facebook friends to see.
Who puts up surveillance cameras that don’t survey anything?
😮uggo
Just this short clip shows, who's serious about their craft and who isn't.
No matter who you side on, it's not 1st degree. No way.
What about the daughter?
You talk about his boxing record like he was bragging about it. He was asked and answered. I’m not on the guys side but chill lmao
Im surprised he let her have friends or family around. They usually get their friends and family to contact when they end relationship. Everything is about them…they dont feel real love they imitate emotions cause their empty devils on the inside
He is a real narcissist and not many people really have a real understanding what that implies….everything the friend is sayin is literally is how narcissist are however this one is a murder. Smfh….Lord has his angel back with no more pain …he wouldve NEVER let her be if she was still here on earth and no matter how many times he left he would get her back…they never leave there victims alone.
I will support the introduction of death sentences for killing whether first or second degrees.All these are just semantic.Killing is killing in my clime.Imagine what this killer said after posting the gory picture ,I will only go to jail and do sentence.If he knew he will be subjected to brutal killing if found guilty he will think twice before killing.
Am I a bad person for wishing she hadn't delayed as soon as she saw that gun? He is a boxer, he had intent with that gun. I wish her family and especially her daughter well.
And his attorney is a monster too. Even if she was dating Satan himself it wouldn't change the fact Derek shot her 8 times and it wouldn't matter in court. He accepted his fate in the Facebook post but now wants to appeal? True sociopath.
Derek and his lawyer should be in prison without the chance for parole.
This man is a narssitic sociopath
Whatever caught on camera he comes down stairs to finish the fight while she's trying to cook then he goes back up stairs to get the firearm to shoot her .
And the dumbest criminal alive award goes to…! Seriously, you’re bragging that you’re a boxer with a 25 and 0 record, but instead of just knocking her out and leaving the house, (if he really was afraid for his life) ya go back in and shoot her 8 times?! In what world did he think he was going to get off on self defense?! Lol gimme a break dude. He wanted to kill her. Rot in prison, bitch! You got a fair trial and left a little girl without a mother!
21:09 You didn’t get a fair trial??!! What about the life you took and the ones you destroyed?! So selfish of him to say that after all he’s done.
This worthless pathetic loser of a low life murderer is rotting in hell right where he belongs right now, RIP Jennifer.
Derek is where he deserves to be. I don't like how the host keep saying "he's a tough guy she's just a WOMAN he should have just taken the abuse like a man" uhh..
Don't you guys have like 3 other videos on this same channel where a 6 foot 5 black man is killed by a 5 foot white girl?
The one where guy was hiding in bathroom and she tossed an iron through the door
The one where she slapped someone and they fell off stairs breaking neck
Again, he's where he deserves to be but "he's a man and big so domestic abuse is ok" is outdated.
Should’ve been 1st degree
This guy doesn’t know what self defence is. And what is with the book’s’ titles? Really hope the girl is taken care of and loved
You emptied the clip bro?
Obviously what he did was not justified. But let's not pretend like this chick was an absolute angel. Being a small female does not give you a right to abuse the other person. They were both toxic.
I’m so sad for 10 year old girl
Those horrible book tittles would have been red flags for retarded person,,,, so sick !
He needs to go straight to death row ….drive thru!!!😡😡😡😡😡
She seemed toxic af but damn this guy went way too far 🤦
No doubt she was a crazy bitch however that's no excuse to put eight bullets in the woman. He deserves to be exactly where he is!
I'm surprised why females get involved with these demonic possessed males. Smdh!
This guy is an idiot
He definitely seemed like a psycho egotistical maniac.
I dont understand what kind of Moron her friend is, all the time smiling and showing his buck teeth during investigation. I mean what kind of person would smile n laugh all throughout the investigation of a friend who is murdered so horribly, I wish i could slap this Moron✋✋✋✋😬😬🙄🙄
It was so obvious that both didnt want to bend a little, both were laying hands on each other. Some guys cant take it. Although the guy himself will raise his hand he will never accept his partner doing the same…. like in this case. It was not possible for him to accept his girl hitting him n vice versa. It is so sad she had to loose her life n he has spend the rest of his life behind bars just coz both were highly agressive towards each other. If only one of them had the patience…. I know its not easy. Atleast he didnt run away after committing the crime. He was brave enough to go to the authorities and hand himself in…
can you do some new programs….like new not updates…from home…
