A South Carolina woman faces trial for allegedly murdering her 13-year-old special needs daughter by locking her in a hot car for nearly five hours in August 2019. Rita Pangalangan claims she accidentally locked her daughter, Cristina, in the vehicle with the keys inside when she went to grab a pack of cigarettes inside the home of her boyfriend, Larry King. Authorities said when first responders arrived to administer aid, Cristina, who was wheelchair-bound and “helpless,” was “beyond help” and died. Pangalangan and King’s story allegedly fell apart when investigators seized security footage from the home that showed the couple locking Cristina in the car and leaving her unattended, returning to check on her several times.

Rita Ding-a-Ling ? 🤪
Convict Justice!!🤬
Imagine having to watch that video knowing how she was being cooked at the hands of her mother…😢 id never forgive myself
What is with the flowers in front of the witness box? I've never seen that before.
It seems like he is trying to say goodbye and go inside but she won’t leave. Also, he’s touching her with that nasty hand that’s been inside his pants for an hour…
Hot Car Child Death Murder trial…. that poor child has a name
I don’t understand why they didn’t leave her inside until she was going to leave. I guess she could’ve thought she was leaving and went back in. Also isn’t there a way to determine whether the car was running while she was in there or not?
It looks like the sun roof was open a little.
Such a shame such a wise, dignified, disciplined, impartial, fair and honest judge is now retired. America is desperate for more judges like him.
Makes me so angry to watch them yukking it up on the front porch, whilst her disabled daughter slowly cooks to death in the car that's sitting a few feet away..😢
So, I don't know about others here but this looks like it was done deliberately to me because they checks the car far after they put her in it, then she first goes from each side to check the doors, knowing they're locked the first time then again and then he goes to the car but they both linger around way afterwards, does anyone see that?
She just follows him into the house! Didn’t stay by the window near her child much less break the window!! No motherly instincts at all!!
How is it locked. It looked like she sat keys on that brick pillar.
Wish I knew what these two garbage people were saying near the beginning of the video where they're standing outside and Larry is pointing and gesturing like crazy. (OTOH I heard way too much of her horrible sounding voice on her interrogation video.)
You can't hear anything. Use a microphone
Unfortunately the acoustics in that court room are so bad you risk losing your hearing trying to follow this trial.
I was looking 7:41 the investigators in the interrogation said he threw her in the car .. I didn’t see that .. does anyone think he threw her in the backseat
The weather guy and the video is all you need for a murder conviction. End of case. 🛑
Looking at this video and video alone it do not look intentional it was horrible but it was done this video alone do not say they put that baby in there to die. This comment section is horrible and the infatuation over the judge is weird everyone has the same patriot comment that’s scary. Nobody thinks anymore.
These 2 dopehead losers deserved life without parole, at the very least. Maybe they'll receive some jailhouse justice from the other inmates.
Glad she is put away for 37 years for murder! God Bless her daughter. R.I.P. Christina! Prayers for you up in heaven.
She was tired of having to be a 24/7 mother to a disabled child and wanted to be free of her. This is so incredibly sad….. that's beautiful little girl didn't deserve any of this.
Always keep a small window breaker in your purse or jacket or something, in case you spot a child or dog in a hot car
They are very cheap, and legal.
I just can’t keep watching her scrunch her face up, trying soooooo hard to cry for so long and not have a single tear come out.
This is such a heart breaking case!!! How they could go back and fourth to the car to watch her die, and my gosh, how she must have felt seeing them come to the car and probably wishing and hoping they were going to get her out but to then just watch them walk away is beyond comprehension!!!! She probably felt relieved every time she seen them, thinking they were going to rescue her, only then to feel beyond disappointed, scared, confused and helpless!! I couldn’t help but let my mind go there but I wish I hadn’t. My heart breaks and aches for that poor little defenceless girl.
Oh and I’ve never seen someone try sooo hard to cry like defendant did during opening. She really pushed hard but those tears never came.
Only one time ever did a child get locked in my car.
My daughter and I had been to the hospital visiting my grandmother, my grandchildren, (her children), were with us.
We put the kids in their car seats, started up the vehicle, put heat on for the kids and commenced to closing the door and cleaning snow off the windows. I must have locked the the vehicle out of habit before shutting the but sure enough when we were done cleaning the windows we realized we couldn’t get in. I was horrified. I ran immediately into the hospital and directed for security to call someone to come help me. (Out purses, phones, and all were locked inside.)
Although it was cold outside I was still worried that it could get too warm inside with heat blowing.
I just can’t imagine someone doing that intentionally.
What's the point of putting your kid in a car, just like that to start with!?
They need mics it’s too hard to hear them
So both the sound and video suck. What's the point then?
You should put timestamps in the live afterward to make it easy for people to find key points throughout the trial!
Even when they realise what's happened, they couldn't care less!! Awful people
Please tell me the sound gets better!
1:19:59 Where are the tears????
Well. It sure would be nice to hear everyone and not just the judge
She thick though 🤣
How hard is it to pick up a hammer and break a window?
I wonder if he will walk around prison with his hands down his pants.
I can't believe the people in court had to sit through this. Poor baby.
They said the car was on…does the video show either of them starting the car?
Why is the defense allowed to limit the opening statement? It isn't evidence.
This case is absolutely horrible and they both deserve to be be locked in a hot car for years! I wish the audio was better though. I can't really hear what they're saying very well. 😔
Rita was bangalangan
But you allegedly forgot
They are both guilty
I just heard about this case do anyone know if a dr or pediatrician dr testified
God Bless This Investigator 🙏 He has been the best officer that I have ever seen. From the AM trial through this one. I can't begin to imagine what this Man has seen and went through in all these trials of murders. This with a child has to be one of the worst for Him and Judge Newman 🙏. God Bless Them Both 🙏 my heart breaks for this child 💔 along with Judge Newman and This Investigator 💔 🙏 I still believe that there were cameras at AM property. And he destroyed them before he killed his wife and son, I will always believe that there "were" cameras at AM property!
As im watching this trial for the first time, i really wish the Attorneys had body microphones… they were abit hard to hear😮
