Timothy Jones Jr. trial: opening statements full video

Oh what a load of BS, this is no real man . He can not blame mental issues, he wanted to make something of himself , he had religious beliefs but still did drugs by choice. Those lives can not be brought back, no excuses can undo his choices, so regardless he needs to pay for his crimes. He killed his kids send him to jail, all these killers have excuses but nothing can undo this mess.

I already can't stand his defense attorney.

He was high functioning and high performing in the workplace. He was also clearly awarded sole custody of five children. If he was so mentally incapacitated how would this be possible?

I don´t know the whole story yet, but would think it´s very simple. It was revenge. He wanted to hurt his ex, she didn´t want him so he took away the most important things in her life, her children💔

I'm a bit more harsh on this mother than others, yes its horrible of course, but she should have custody and sued for child support. She stated she didn't fight cause he made the money, that makes no sense to me and I don't buy that he was a good father when they were together either. If he really is sick like they say, she should have fought to keep these precious children to protect them, she DIDN'T protected them and she had the power to do so! So honestly I really don't feel sorry her, she's still has her life, unfortunately not her children. Of course I read that she sued CPS, not a surprise there, time to cash in on what you weren't even taking care of...After listening to his confession, he knows & fully appreciated what he did, he knew it was wrong, he even said he was worried what will happen to him when found out, he is not legally insane end of story. Just someone on the edge, full of rage and anger, that is it, end of story. These kids didn't stand a chance with either one of these parents. So so heartbreaking...

I hope they get a good jury and this man doesnt see the light of day ever again, sending prayers to the poor MOTHER

Tim was the tree that made the forest sick. So Tim should be cut down.

It feels like borderline offensive that the defense attorney is trying to frame the whole argument in this simplistic metaphor

I have been against the death penalty for capital murder... but no more.

The defense just blew their case by bringing religion into it. I agree, big mistake. If he knew his forest wasn't right, he should have called CPS to come get his children. I understand that mental illness can do harmful things, but he knew for a long time he was sick or something wasn't right. He had a choice. Instead of calling someone for help, he murdered those precious babies. So heartbreaking 💔

This wasn't insanity he wanted to hurt their mother and so he has. This happens far more then most people hear about. Killing ONE might have been insanity. It took at least 25 minutes at bare minimum to kill them all probably more like an hour and that's premeditated. Owning books makes you LOOK good. Reading and applying them makes you a better person. My ex owned lots of books. Never read any of them.

He murdered all five children, he ran, then covered it up. Yep, he`s crazy but he knew it was wrong. Guilty!!!

Each of these children were dealt a sorry hand with their parents. As a mother, there is NO WAY IN HELL I could just let go of my child. Every ounce of my body would fight for custody of my daughter if my husband tried to take her away from me. I would literally be unable to focus or do anything else other than devote every day of my life to get my baby back if she was taken from me. There is absolutely no excuse for a mother to give up on her child just because she's facing a few obstacles from the father. What happened to these angels is horrifically heartbreaking and could have easily been prevented. 😢

I've been watching the trial but today decided to watch the opening statements. Defense with the forest crap, really?? Mental illness, insanity and schizophrenia are very different. And the fact that he read the Bible doesn't mean that he is a Christian. Many cults read the Bible and distort the Word to fit their agenda. And I don't understand how the killing of his oldest boy Natan would trigger him to kill the other sweet babies. He is evil and not ill. May God have mercy on his poor misable life. Jesus has received those sweet babies into His care the moment they left this earth.

The mom didn't even fight.fpr custody! She walked away from her responsibility as a parent. There had to be a reason she left him. She saved herself and left her babies to suffer with this demon. A good mom fights for her babies!

Not guilty by reason of insanity is a difficult defense to prove. Nothing to lose...it's the only arrow they have in their quiver.

The defense attorney totally looks like & reminds me of Woody Harrelson. IDK about TBI, but the back of Tims head is flat, which can happen when a baby is left on its back for a considerable amount of time, day after day. It corroborates the family saying Tims mom would leave him crying, not attentive or "motherly". Just an observation.

why did the judge get up at 12:40...anyone know? That was odd, u never see judges jump up, and go out into the courtroom like that.

He drives an Escalade and keeps his kids in that shitty trailer.

This whole case is so sad.
