A U.S. Army soldier is headed to trial for allegedly killing his wife at their Alaska apartment in August 2023. Saria Barney disappeared on a Sunday morning just hours after celebrating her husband Zarrius’s 21st birthday. What began as a frantic, days-long missing persons search involving Saria’s mother and a seemingly distraught husband quickly took a sinister turn. Detectives tracking a digital and physical trail of clues uncovered damning evidence showing the young combat medic never made it out of her own apartment. Zarrius Hildabrand now faces trial for Saria’s murder. Stream the entire trial live on Court TV.

I’m sure it won’t be life but pray the sentences are ran consecutively instead of concurrently.
Looked it up: 5 to 99 years. I would hope the judge sentences him to a long time. This guy is a real psychopath
The prosecutor botched this verdict!!! What in the F was that shitty ass cross- truly one of the worst I’ve seen and I’ve watched hundreds. Didn’t challenge him on his lies. Didn’t highlight his obvious ridiculous inconsistencies. Didn’t do jack and this is why when he gets out one day he will do this again. As a prosecutor you should dream of a defendant taking the stand and in a case this freakin simple it should have been a piece of cake to hammer him on cross. Her family deserved better and I’m disgusted that the prosecution chose laziness over justice. Shame on that entire office. Pathetic.
First degree would be premeditated as in he planned to kill her. He killed her on the spur of the moment. Yes, he decided to do it in that moment but it’s not as if he bought the trash can before that night etc.
I don’t think the prosecutor botched anything. It was so glaringly obvious that he was lying and it wasn’t a suicide.
I actually thought her cross was good; she did point out his lies & inconsistencies, she did challenge him, so much so that the story changed from Saria accidentally killing herself, to I don’t know if I shot Saria, or not.
@BSmeterAussiechickI agree. She could’ve picked at every last little thing but she didn’t need to. It’s why they charged first and second degree.
@Lokis@Lokisdottir1964y. And pre meditation can be decided in an instant. He cannot have selective memory and claim he doesn’t remember what he did only when it suits him. He is a monster and based on this crime it’s not hard to tell he’ll do it again if he only gets the minimum sentence. I hope the judge throws the book at him
@BSmeterAussiechick I hear u, I just see it differently- with the length and depth of the case they presented this cross just was not okay imo. I’ve watched hundreds, good, great, bad, over and underwhelming etc. listened to lawyers analyze crosses and based on everything I’ve personally witnessed as a crime junkie..this was not a good cross in my eyes personally. Some juries need to know each and every detail to feel secure in agreeing on the harshest charge, some don’t, but I think this jury needed more to get to 1st. He’s a scary individual and to think he could reenter society one day is terrifying bc I think hel do it again unfortunately
Yeeees 👏🏾👏🏾💯⚖️✨️🙏🏾
The defense attorney is absolutely ridiculous!
I wish he had been found guilty of 1st degree, but if the judge’s looks of disgust at ZH & his actions during this trial are anything to go by, I feel the judge will sentence heavily 💥 ⚖️ 💥
My heart goes out to Saria’s Mum, siblings & friends, especially today ❤
Fly high sweet Saria ✨️🕊💖🕊✨️
Justice served
