In this episode of “True Crime News,” A summer outing with friends turned deadly when a man approached the group asking if they saw a cellphone. The man took out a knife and started stabbing several teens, killing 17-year-old Isaac Schuman and injuring others. The suspect, Nic Miu, claimed self-defense, but the jury disagreed. Plus, Kara Nichols vanished after meeting up with a man from an escort site, and her family quickly reported her missing. What happened to Kara?
Fun day of tubing turns deadly when man attacks group of teens | Full Episode

If he would have stayed and told the truth probably would have been acquitted because the so called victims were the instigators and aggressors initially
That was definitely self-defense
Murder isn’t justification because you are being “picked on”…. It’s called growing up and being an adult…..
What a loser that guy was….. awe kids were harassing you? Grow up and walk away…. Good lord he seems to be someone that can’t control his anger
Why didn’t the other adults come to Nick’s aid? I didn’t feel the kids were going to hurt this man. He should have been an adult, walked away & called the police. Why would he have a knife while rafting & then stab several people. You don’t take the law in your own hands. Sorry. Although I do agree the teens were acting horribly but to be stabbed….No!
The teens started it he had to protect himself it is self defense
These kids are entitled and are at fault. This guy was protecting himself.
Guess what mom teach your kids some god damn respect & this wouldn’t have happened and you can go blame all you like but bottom line is they all brought this on themselves
Those ahole teenagers are real tough in a group he was obviously being attacked. NEWS FLASH TO ALL YOU TEENAGERS DONT GO AROUND CALLING GROWN ASS OLD SCHOLL MEN A PEDO WE TAKE THAT REAL SERIOUS
This is BS. While it is tragic that one of the teens died, the teens in this scenario were the ones who instigated the drama and then amped it up. This man should not have been convicted of this.
Wow. Lying is going against you. Dummy
Ok if Kyle Ritten, got away with "Self-Defense" using a rifle to take people out, he wasn't even getting pushed at the time. This man should never have been convicted. If so then Kyle should be guilty too.
What a misleading headline. Those teens harassed and baited him. It’s definitely a tragedy but he shouldn’t have been convicted. How much bullying is someone supposed to endure not to mention his backstory and why he was so afraid.
these kids are taunting and pushing him around. that's another case of FAFO.
Prime case of FAFO. Sad
The teens started this whole ordeal. I followed this case all the way through his trial and conviction. It was self def. He shouldn't have been convicted..
This comment section is the perfect example of the major levelsnof cognitive dissonance that white people are willing to enact in order to ignore the beginning of a story, and start at the middle to absolve the actual aggressor of their actions. The agression came from the man FIRST. He was asked to leave multiple times. The idea "he has to defend himself from a mob" ended the moment he continued to follow and beg the mob for a fight.
That poor man didn’t deserve to be harassed and attacked by a bunch of thugs! He was provoked and forced to protect himself, period!!!
What a worthless mom
Yall defending this dude is wild lmao , doesn’t matter what pushed him bro didn’t need to STAB someone
What if they did that to a combat veteran??? Would been much worse!! These bullies attacked him smh he was drinking looking for a phone!! Punk kids got it…
Your son was a bully!! B should had raised then to respect their elders!!
I’m genuinely shocked by how many people think this comes under self defence 😮. Charges of 1st degree murder are levied only when there is a lot of evidence, otherwise they tend to go for a lower charge that they think they will get a conviction on. This case was proved beyond a reasonable doubt to 12 jurors members, they likely come from varying backgrounds and don’t just agree on everything. The outcome is likely because it was all filmed.
I can only think that anyone defending him didn’t see the full video that the jury did and should go watch it. The pertinent points I see are;
-1) He was hassling them a lot longer than shown here
-2) He was getting more aggressive – ignoring the teens and his own group asking him to stop
3) He had tons of space behind him to leave, but refused.
4) The teens started name calling after he became more aggressive. It wasn’t smart clearly, but they wanted him to leave and most of us did silly things as teens. Words don’t warrant any use of self defence. It was his ego that fuelled him. He still could have left at this point.
5) When he still wouldn’t leave, one of them pushed him. That is the one thing a self defence claim could hang on. However, he still could have left and gone back to his group.
6) This man wore just swimming trunks for a lazy day at the river, but packed a large knife?
7) He didn’t step back and show the knife in an attempt to be able to leave (which he still could have at any point since that was the only thing the kids were asking for). Instead, he concealed it close to his side until he was close enough to kill.
8) As seen by the scar shown in court, he gutted them from stomach to pubic area – the boy who died had his guts held in by friends. That’s not self defence.
AFTER
1) He showed how easily he could have left by returning to his group and casually leaving the blood filled water
2) didn’t go somewhere safe and call the police to say he had to use self defence – he just pretended it wasn’t him.
3) He lied that the kid pulled the knife and he took it, accidentally injuring the teens in the process
4) He only decided to use self defence as an excuse when made aware the entire thing was filmed, as there was no other defence to use at that point. It would never have worked though because the full video is very clear.
I think nick friends knew who he was thats why they kept away
I watched the whole trial and all the videos, both sides are in the wrong.
The teenagers FA and FO.
He shouldn't have been convicted. He just protected his self.
He was wrong they kids 😢
Kids need to learn not to provoke adults, some will see it as good humor and will know its kids being kids, others who have anger issues however will retaliate in the most brutal way. This isnt the first time lives were lost because miners upsetted the wrong adult.
the man should not have been charged. faced with multiple attackers, in water, he was faced with a deadly force threat and had the right to respond with deadly force to defend himself. the trial was BS.
He was egged on for a very long time. They stole his phone then attacked him. Horrible.
Group of teens attacked man. It was self defense and he should have been found not guilty
If Jim Carry and Billy Bob Thornton could have a baby, that would be him 😀
The title of the video is incorrect!
The title of this video is misleading. It should be "when group of teens attack man".
I am from Romania 🇷🇴 and watched the case on Crime & Investigation only 2 days ago. This guy, Niculae Miu, is from my country & he's probably 15 yrs younger than me. Sorry, I can't agree with those who said he was right to protect himself. Why a knife in his pocket? Was he defending from sharks and alligators? Why go to the bunch of young people in the first place? He was definitely looking to cause troubles. And then the lies he said in Court. "In Romania, non-Communist party members were attacked, imprisoned by the political militia, his parents beaten…". All lies, it wasn't quite like that. So, Nic would've taken a beating for invading that group's space. So what. But he decided to take a kid's life. Isaac's life will forever be lost.
damn psycho! Poor kids!
Seems Nick was in the right. He confronted this group over his thoughts, then they ALL started attaching him. Lying and leaving is what sealed his fate. Also, helping the prosecutor his first language was not English and he didn't remain silent.
Sorry but I'm on Nick's side. A mob attacked him just because he asked if they had seen his phone?
Holy gaslighting titles . You mean when a man defending himself from a group of criminals?
Nick you're a liar too. Both parties were in the wrong
Stupid immature teens
