A sergeant, who responded to the home invasion of 77-year-old Christine Schmitt, testified Wednesday about the elderly woman’s behavior after she was attacked, telling the jury it was “painful” for her to discuss what happened. Bradley Yohn is accused of carjacking, kidnapping, and sexually assaulting Schmitt in November 2021. She died a month later. The Law&Crime Daily team recaps his testimony.

iF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN THE DEVIL … YOU HAVE NOW.
For those of you asking about the woman who held the knife, “… according to (Karen) Blackledge’s negotiated plea she will receive 40 years in prison – two 20 year sentences served consecutively for each charge. The formal sentencing will take place on May 5th. Blackledge will have to serve at least 85% of that sentence.
Please increase the volume on your videos, its too low.
Why was this testimony allowed in court? Victim/suspect’s behavior AFTER the alleged attack occurred is irrelevant to the alleged crime that prosecutors claim took place. No to mention it’s also heresay… To say Mr. John got railroaded would be an understatement…
He should never get out of prison.
It seems like she committed suic*de and they're avoiding saying so?
I love the body language from the PA's
None of these blokes are lawyers there all small time YouTubers
What was it abt November 2021. Darrell Brooks slaughtered people in a parade and this guy here..
This trial was nothing but a KAERF SHOW and its time to stop defendants defending themselves just to crucify the victims
What was Mrs. Lohman's actual cause of death?
This coward will get life and prison justice is coming.
This defendant is so inappropriate beyond at first I thought the prosecution had no evidence . However after I watched the 4 days of trial it’s like Yohn is reliving this SA through the questions it’s very sick and uncomfortable. He’s definitely going to be found guilty .
Horrific
Poor lady. 😢
I watched today's hearing (Friday). He hasn't scored any points. It's everyone elses fault: the police didn't do their job right, the investigators, even tried to say the victim didn't act right. He'll be found guilty.
I hate that my old town is continue it's trend in the news.
Monster
I hear violent criminals compared to animals. Animals kill for food, protection of babies,etc. This guy is no animal. Stop insulting animals.
Where is the live trial? Don’t see it on Law & Crime.
Good luck brad,youll never make it….
Dude about as bright as his cell is gonna feel over 20yrs plus
WHY ARE YOU NOT STREAMING THIS TODAY??? JUST TELL US! SO UNPROFESSIONAL!!!
representing yourself in a life trial……we have some real geniuses these days lol
Disgusting creep!
I say off with his head!
That poor elderly woman… people are messed up.
I hate society
What happened today's live feed?Anybody?
repping himself?? its a wrap
Is this trial being streamed? It was yesterday, now I can't find it! Does anyone know?
Poor woman, let him rot
People like him provide no value to society. He should be removed or used for medical testing.
They have his DNA and his cohort has already pled guilty and sentenced to two 20 year sentences.
OMG yes! When people have to deal with trauma and loss, especially in old age, it DOES kill you. Happens all the time.
