Glad that the judge released trial footage. More trials that forbid cameras need to use this protocol.

But he should've kept jurors' names private.

He should have to repay the State the Million dollars it cost them to search for Crystal and tell where her remains are. Crystal was “beneath them”. Ugh! This family murdered and covered up her death. She was better than all of them put together. Shame on all who were involved. Justice for Crystal, Tommy and Jason.

Why does the Jury even bother to vote on the sentencing part of the trial when the Judge is the one that makes the final determination and can go against the Jury's advice???

Bless his heart I couldn’t understand a word he said

Why are the names of jurors not redacted from this footage?

I really wish they'd kept the recording going until after the two convicted murders had been handcuffed. I'd love to have seen that.

Honestly IMO , not making excuses, because we are accountable for our own action’s but Joey Lawson sure never stood much of a chance in life with who his father happened to be.

0:28 are they supposed to say the jurors' names on here?

If that kid he had favored above all others had never been born Crystal would be alive.....

There are still questions. WHO actually killed Crystal Rogers? HOW was she killed? WHEN was she actually murdered? WHERE is her body? Was she actually fed to the pigs, or are her remains elsewhere? What if she comes back from Mexico or South America or Russia someday? What then? I hate cases like this. Remember the Scott Peterson case? At least they had a body. God help us and save us. Jesus Christ.
