Look at her!! Not a tear!! Her Son is sitting there crying and she shows NO emotion!! Can’t stand even looking at her!
I'm crying seeing Scott break down at the loss of his father. She's sitting there assessing whether she has a chance of pinning it on him.
And keeping her fist over her mouth the whole time is sickening! It’s obvious she’s trying to hide her guilt. I hope they find her guilty so Gary’s children can finally grieve and rekindle the sibling relationship.
All so heartbreaking 💔 what she has done to them for years.😢
I saw no real tears from him. Fake..He was rubbing his eyes as hard as he could to make tears. I was trained many years ago to study people. He is not sincere and he failed a polygraph test. But defense was not allowed to tell that in court.
Shut up already. You have no idea what she is thinking or feeling. You do not know who killed Gary Farris.. It't there but for the grace of God go you and all of us. Judge not so that you be not judged.
Is that what he's doing?
What a shame that Gary Farris worked so hard to have such a beautiful home/property only to be killed there.
@@wisecat11 I've thought about that too, What a Sad way to go 🙏
She’s insane to risk all of that, her family and her younger much better looking husband for a root n boot 😵💫
More importantly, by his wife. That's an important detail you left out.
@@blackcherry6877 good point
Jabalz
Imagine being so hateful that you kill your husband and try to set up your son to take the fall. What an awful woman.
Narcissistic at the least!
Narcissistic to the max!
Malignant narcissist.
EVIL! MELODY YOU’RE HORRIBLE!
I believe Scott, why they try to blame him for his father' s death, crazy strategy from the witch's camp
@@Yana-it6bt no kidding. She’s so stupid
Lol! The witch's camp!
Interesting how Melody led him right to the burn pile. She’s a piece. And no emotion out of her when Scott says that’s human remains.
I was just told how she lead her son to that pile asking if he burned an animal in there so he could see his dad burned up! That’s so evil I can’t wrap my mind around it! 😮 🤦♀️ she should get extra 5 years for that cruelty!!! 😡
@@GenerationXChick I agree with you . Wasn’t shot in basement , he was shot at burn pile so all the “ she couldn’t have moved him “ is a load of rubbish !
I don't think he killed his dad , what a mother trying to frame the son.
She’s a a real Gen isn’t she … ? You can tell she did it !! You can tell by the mother’s she repositions herself when the prosecutor talks about the burn pit!!
He didnt kill his father. Hè drove his dead b9dy to the burn pile
I believe he is guilty
@@EstherDoyle-i2u Poor Esther😅
@@victoriavancartier7379 ur right that was bad.
If Scott was gonna take anyone out it would have been Melody. Melody was the root pf evil in thos family. I believe Melody killed Gary & tried to set up Scott. Melody is a narcissistic psychopath
🎉mother should be ashamed for putting her children through all this pain. She knows how ell this happened. She planned it all
Scott is innocent. Poor guy. What a terrible thing, to point the finger at your son, even through your attorney. She's a piece of work.
Scott is innocent, the defense attorney repeated himself in many different ways to catch Scott in some sort of lie. But, both Scott and Chris were consistent with their answers and each time they repeated the same answers. If they lied, they wouldn't have been able to stay with the same answers by the variety of ways the defense has asked the same questions. They didn't do it. I wonder if the mom will testify. 🧐
@@lisawyatt6397 You do know Scott failed a polygraph test? That was not allowed in court. He also said he would own the farm. Best way to do that maybe...get rid of his Dad (who was not happy that he kept spending his money) and set Mom up to send her to prison. May not happened, but he sure was fast pointing the finger to his Mother. She may be guilty, but there are things that they have not proved like how she got the body to the burn pile from the house where they claim she murdered him. If she had help they have not arrested anyone. So if I were on the jury I don't know that if was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Also if you watch Scott all the way thru, he tried his best to look like he was crying, but there were no tears, he rubbed his eyes as hard as he could to make tears. I just have an uneasy feeling about him.
@@SueBray-s7f This case sure is a difficult one, we've been waiting for a verdict for 3 days so far. Hopefully we'll have one today, so we'll see.
@@SueBray-s7fYou were wrong 😅
Why didn’t they just get a divorce? This blows my mind to stay in a house where you hate each other… for what?
The same reason as always…$
Because the court system is willing to strip the man of everything he has built. And give it to the woman. Because she plays the victim and cries and she has vagina and breasts.... That's all it takes for them to justify taking the whole farm and half of his income and half of the bank accounts..... That's why marriage is not worth it in america. Young men please do not get married it is not worth it
She wouldn't go because she wouldn't get half his money . ⛱️ 🧙♀️
@@docdynamixyes but to be miserable for years is not worth it . She’d still get some millions
He wanted a divorce and evidently she talked him out of it.
I see this "Why didn't they just get a divorce?" comment on every video where a spouse murders a spouse. It always makes the commenter look really stupid.
She did it.. her demeanor shows it all…her looking down or sideways when Scott starts being specific
She didn't do it.
She didn't want a divorce she loved the money
@@LynnePerry-c2z but she didn’t know what in his will either so to me don’t think it about money for her they both like way live were her affairs they never-come out there money rusty pay hotel vacation not her her husband was happy with that her family had more to game out his death then she did at time set her up
This woman is evil, glaring at her son like that, rolling her eyes at some point, pure evil.
Can you imagine how it was for these kids growing up even though they were well to do?!? Doesn't seem like there was much love shown in this family.
Seems like all the love came from the Dad. Mom is all about getting her groove on.
Scott saying, "My Daddy" shows his feelings---Daddy is a term of endearment---a special bond!
Yes, and the way he broke down and said he loved his Daddy when the prosecutor asked him if he killed Gary. That love and emotion was real.
And a Southern thing.
I think that's called a cash bond
I've got some swamp land I think
you would be interested in
Apparently he does not like his mother.He is addressing her by her first name
@@Runaddict1167
I think it is because she accused him of murdering his dad.
And also because she murdered his dad.
Why kill the person who pays for everything ? I think he was shot at burn pile , blood in house wasn’t tested .
Yup and I feel blood in house was owns snake bite as they brought that up in detail!
I agree.
As a reminder: Melody called her son while he was out at the lake with friends at 11pm at night claiming the horses had gotten out and she needed him to come back now. He comes back and the horses are not out. He goes to bed, wakes up early to golfing, tells his mom he needs the debit card and she meets him at the door.
She was purposely setting him up.
Remember: all of these kids used their father as an atm machine. They had nothing to gain because Melody inherited. And if you think she would give any of those kids one dime, you’re really thick in the head.
Didn’t check to see if his cpap machine. No concern for your husband Melody. Nice try.
Actually I do have “command” of the English language. I’m sorry if regional colloquialisms are over your head. Bless your heart.
Perfectly said.
I’m sorry do you not understand if he kills his father and sets up his mother he is next in line to inherit?
@@Felsiekearneythats exactly what I thought. Both sons are moochers. Daddy was getting fed up with them constantly having his credit / debit card.
People say she looks like the Grinch and she really does!
Cindy Lu from the who
Melody looks like an evil, adult version of Cindy lou who. Imo.
When Scott testifies about where the tractor is left, you can see Melody’s eyes shift down and to the right! TWICE! Guilty!!
If I saw my child crying, it would make me cry. How interesting.
Yes the fact that she is pointing the finger at him. I probably rather go to jail than send my own son to jail.
So she actually led Scott to the burn pile and asked him to look at it. WOW. That was a sly move on her part - after all, who would led somebody over to a burning body in a pile if THEY were the one who did the actual killing? A major case of reverse psychology to say the least.
HOW COME THE WIFE WASN'T, OR DIDN'T LOOK EVERYWHERE FOR DAD?? 🤔 IT IS WEIRD THAT SISTERAND MOM WERE JUST SITTING THERE..SEEOMS TO ME LIKE THEY HADN'T BEEN WORRIED LOOKING AROUND THE HOUSE...LOOKS TO ME LIKE THEY WERE NOT WORRIED!!
THIS GIVES ME SOMETHING TO THINK 🤔 ABOUT,BECAUSETHE WOMEN HADN'T LOOK FOR DAD ANYWHERE, AND THE WIFE WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD HER SON WHERE TO LOOK!!!
Interesting the only time Melody broke stare, moved uncomfortably is when Scott began to speak about the 38 special, murder weapon.
Horrible evil! Just get divorced!
Self centered people always hurt many others in their lives!
My heart is breaking for the Son!! I cried when he started crying!! How dare this evil mother !! Put her in prison and throw the key out!!
People say Cigarettes can kill you, Alcohol can kill you, but according to all these cases a Spouse or Partner can kill you. So glad I never married halfway in planning a Wedding I canceled. I did not feel it was right I had to follow my gut it doesn't lie and it took years for me to know that. I love being alone, alone for decades. Once you get used to it it's Great. If your in a bad relationship it's so much better to be alone. It's absolutely devastating what was Done to this Good Father, Person, and Prominent Attorney they had 38 years of marriage 4 Children My God She is Evilllll JMHO. JUSTICE for GARY🙏💔😢
Fully agree with you. My dad was an abuser. I can smell them a mile away and apparently they are very attracted to me. No man OR woman is worth living in hell for.
I wasn't sure until I watched her 2 sons. SHE DID IT.
I think her boyfriend helped her put the body in the burn pile.
Scott wants his father around. They both need each other.
Definitely no emotion from her.
I do not think Scott murdered his father. He is very credible and sincere!
😂😂😂😂😂
He failed a lie detector test, sadly its not admissible in court.
This woman is vicious to the core.
Her lawyers should coach her on how to not look guilty.
@@annebosworth7048 You don't get the difference between "he" and "her"?
@@SoulStrikes I wasn't replying to top message so don't understand how it's here..I was replying to someone saying Scot looked guilty...sometimes my phone flips and must have gone into wrong column...
Yeah she looks guilty as heck there every day! She is searching for some way out of being convicted! Proof she killed and burned him is not existent though! Hmmm 🤔
I can’t see a motive from this guy. Why would he want anything to change in his life? He was all set up. He also comes across as very credible.
I agree!
His sister said there was “something wrong” with Scott but he seems very rationale to me. Speaks clearly, organized recital of what he remembers, etc. plus he was good with the animals.
Farm work is hard work, and Scott did not get weekly pay. He only needed money to run around on. He worked for them, not a free-loader. It's the parents' fault. It is also the problem in the boys' marriages as well. Blended families and no boundaries or independent lives. The bottom line is IF the parents didn't provide financial perks, the boys would not be using his debit card or exoect paid trips and meals and would learn to live within their means. The flip side is the kids are spoiled and will do whatever dad needs. Sometimes that ruins marriages b/c problems spill over in their own marriage.
Typical defense attorney move , . . blame a different family member.
Poor guy, everything he has to go through!
Wow!!!!!! Mim didn't care her son was crying!!!! Wow !!!!!!!!
Mum guilty!!!!!!
Where is the evidence against her. It’s not about the look on her face. I feel sorry for her. Her children are pinning this on her with no evidence(they just want the cash)The sons could be involved. It could be anybody. There is no murder weapon and the bullets that were used were in Scott’s room.
@@pattyf33you are completely wrong about the bullets… they did not match
Any Mother that would try and make their own son take the blame for her killing his own Father is desperate … Her son knew of her hatred toward Gary. That’s why he told the police about her affair and her hatred.. she was the only one there to do this and keep this fire pit burning. Her shifty eyes as Scott is testifying is telling…..
Her eyes are so cold and black.
The mother did it. She wanted the money and wanted to be free of her husband. Poor excuse for a wife and mother.
Melody has the blackest, coldest eyes I have ever seen since Charles Manson.😮
100 💯 truth
If an entire body is burning, one would smell meat burning a far way off?
Yes you wonder about what neighbours saw
I think it was 10 Acres. So maybe smoke. But I think you would almost have to be on the property to see the pit the way that they are describing it. But smoke and a smell would still make most people wonder what was going on I would think.
@@BridgetSluckmost people would have been asleep...
The smell would have lingered in the air still the next morning. Or at least on other cases I’ve watched the neighbors said it smelled it a pig roast for a day or two (but the houses may have been closer than this one) 😢
They burned stuff all the time so neighbors would not pay attention really.
Why would Scott kill his father. His dad was his gravy train. Why cut off the hand that feeds you.
I can tell Scott is telling the truth just by when he said Amanda tried to say oh he had a heart attack and fell into the burn pit if he was guilty why wouldn’t he just run with that instead of insisting that’s not what happened and it was something more going on and stating the obvious that he got shot so that couldn’t had been the case 🥲 I just feel so terrible for Gary I wish I could bring him back he didn’t deserve this at all! 🥺
The mom looks nasty and mean but I have a feeling she didn’t do it. And she looks angry because she can’t believe her kids turned on her and actually saying she did this. Wouldn’t we all be pissed if we were innocent? Idk…just my thought as of right now.
“No”
While shaking head yes
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Glad someone else caught this too. He did it twice.
It took me a while but I finally figured out why she called Scott at 10:02pm on the 4th of July to come home bc the horses were out. He gets home and the animals are all in, not out! If Scott wasn’t home, she couldn’t pin the murder on him! 😡 What kind of mother does that!? Martha Jane is right!
Yep 💯
Her whole demeanor and ice cold face screams guilt. What a lowlife, trying to deflect her murderous action, onto her son. And she calls herself a mother! She obviously didn't care about her husband while married to him, yet has the audacity to wear her wedding rings every day of the trial trying to portray herself as a grieving widow. I hope Gary Carrie's children get justice for his murder, and their mother gets life.
Amanda and chad did the inheritance math real quick!
Looking at mom, she’s pure evil.
All you need to watch is the "mother's" reaction at 1:26:01. Evil Melody, really evil.
Yes!!!! She hates that son! Very sad 😞
Melody has the stone cold look of a killer. Her eyes are black as coal. No life in those eyes sadly. 😢
Scott is credible. The mum has zero reaction to taking away her children’s father
Maybe Scott is the killer as he is looking for things you wouldn't normally look for, he obviously hates his mother as he calls her by name and I think he would frame his mother as he looks cunning to me if the moment goes to jail the kids getenqual shares of everything
No
i’m praying that the prosecutor proves the charges against this evil woman beyond reasonable doubt
I don’t see any proof yet! Only that she was only one there those days speculated he died! But they don’t know what day he died? This one is tough!
@@Juke582 Agree with you 👏
the mother looks so cold just stareing at the boys i think she did it 100%
Not true. She has been in tears many times watching her sons. He is the one wanting dads money.
@@jeangomez8342no only mom had opportunity only her and dad lived in the house... Scott was out Chris lives miles away..mom set Scott up ringing him to come home lying the horses were out so he had to come home and when he did the burn pile was lit...dad was already on burn pile..
Need proof though! None yet! The son is a weirdo dishonest brat Moocher but I don’t think he did that. Looks like she tried to set him up.
Only emotion I saw was when they talked about the path to the burn pile. She got wide eyed for a few seconds.
@@jeangomez8342 agree with you 👏 and he know a lot about gun.
The father was tired of the two brothers who stole money from him from his bank account without his permission and told them he was going to change his cards code.. The motive is there too
Bless Scott 's heart, he is definitely innocent!! His mom is guilty!
Melody never opens her mouth . He lips are pursed. Its so strange.
She looks so much older than him!
I really believe him and it must be awful his mum and half the internet blaming him! I feel sorry for him , not only has he lost his dad , he’s lost his mum and some people are saying it’s him and he’s setting his mum up ?!!!awful although I suppose all the money they’ll get will soften the blow 🎉
No emotions out of her. She dont cry or anything. Mrs Grinch is Grinch.
He's a whole grown ass man baby. Mooching off his parents.
He framed his mom, so he'll inherit everything instead. That's my opinion.
Me 2
Nooooo! Wrong! She tried to frame him! You did not watch did you?
Looking after all those animals is almost full time job !! That’s not mooching ! Can’t see her mucking out 😒
@@nixe9080 did you listen to any of this trial?
It was mentioned many times over that he was always asking for his parents visa, or for more money. Always had his hands out for more... that my dear, is mooching
Where did I say that farm work isn't hard work?
Please don't put words in my mouth.
I know first hand, how labor intensive farm work and animal care is.
Did ya'll miss the part that he's on payroll, yet still lives at home, (I'll say it again, a grown man...not a 20 year old man, but a WHOLE GROWN UP MAN, whom still lives at home) he was living beyond his means, and where he ALWAYS had his hands out. *cough* MOOCHING, for Daddys credit card to bail his ass out of his repetitive debts.
Well. I guess we all know who helped the mom. Amanda and her boyfriend Chad.
His father texted him to get a job then gets murdered???!!! Hmmm
Nah Scott was out no opportunity
Both sons show extreme untruthful bodyn language, even Chris's ex wife stated (by accident i think) she had to talk with Chris when their stories changed. I find abhorent theway these sons dont say "mum" they refer to her asa 'she' all in all, if my mother was accused/possibly guilty do we just drop them under the bus. Be truthful but at least call mer Mum, I think the sons are liars 100%
I'm with you on this.
The mother stood to inherit, but the boys used Dad as an ATM... frame Mom and the boys inherit... boys don't have to ask for their credit cards ever again.
And ya have not lived in the family and know and see (for years) what they have. Nor heard the vile way Melody has treated them and their beloved father.
Funny how Scott doesn't name his father's mother as his grandmother. And funny how he said his father always told him if he was going anywhere and where he was going. When everyone else says otherwise. And how would a 60yr old small women carry a body and move him up the stairs to burn him????
She had help from the daughter
She shot him at burn pile pretty sure! Blood in house likely from another time or the son’s snake bite they brought up!
@@lindamateri7298 I think she shot him at burn pile and any blood on house was from so sons snake bite or another time dad was hurt!
She didn’t have to move him upstairs, there was a walkout basement.
Scott obviously doesnt like Melody at all!!
Why would he as she tried to set him up for the murder and is blaming him for it now!!!! That’s one evil mother! He loved his dad and disowned her!
I feel bad for scott..he wants justice for his dad. She doesnt even look at him like one would look at a son. If she did not do this it would of brought them together as a family to find the killer- she did this
She is jealous of her own children.
That’s one ice cold woman 😮
I think the father was shot at the burn pile. I would think it was a massive size No one would have to move a body if he was shot there. Fell into the fire, what does forensics say, Im sure they would know entry point of bullet and if that is a possibility
I don't think so as there was blood drops in the house.
@@tracieproctor2167the blood could be from the so sons snake bite or another time the dad bled from a wound. She shot him out at burn pile
They need question Amanda why have they not???
From her facial expressions and hand across her mouth she does look very guilty.
Exactly. She looks so guilty, the way she move's her eyes.
@@EvelynSantos2222it’s called shifty looking for a reason.
The mouth covering is to hide her contempt for her own kids. I think she hates them all. She’s a malignant narcissist. Mommy always wins at this house. 🙄
I can barely listen to that Scott. Neither one of these sons is a person that's likable.... at all.
Shame on them! for using their Dad for money and for mooching off him as grown men! So extremely pathetic.
Hang on Scott worked hard for his money he took care of the farm...
I don't think Scott or Chris would have been capable of hurting their Dad. They loved him so much! It's obvious! ❤😢
@@annebosworth7048 ya worked real hard on that hobby farm lol
I found the kids very weird as well! The one being blamed is very grandiose!!! Hard to believe anything a narcissist loser says! He could not hold any job! Not likable! A sneaky guy! Someone helped that devil woman out the husband out there unless he was really shot dead at the burn pile and fell into fire and wasn’t shot in house??!!! I am not convinced he was shot in house???!!!!
I find it weird that you dislike this guy who is simply answering questions about what happened to his Dad. Maybe you should look in the mirror and ask if it was you would we be saying the same stuff about you.
She is 100% guilty in my mind. Scott is being thrown under the bus
Where’s proof by evidence she killed and burned him there??? It’s not come out yet???? There has to be proof by law to convict her ya know? Not enough circumstantial evidence either! Only speculation it was her but she could not have put him out there if they say he was shot in the house!
@@Juke582exactly! All is the children are throwing the mother under the bus about the affair but where is the evidence that she did it. The sons are both losers. Scott was using daddy’s credit card. They get rid of mom to prison and they can have all that money to spend.
Im not sure sounds like they set up there mom for money tbh if my mom or dad was missing the whole family would be an uproar
Was it mentioned earlier that she LED him to the fire pit, then shot him ???
The wife did it.
How did she move the body on her own?
@@DN-kz7xleither shot him when he was at the fire pit or her boyfriend helped her
@@DN-kz7xl She found a way.
@@DN-kz7xlmaybe the cool invention called the wheel! Wheelbarrow most likely, or just the basics pulley truck roller with wheels. Or the flat rollers with wheels…or possibly she lured him to the fire for the final push (?)
@@GenXtothe7thPoweryeah would have to be the latter, I'm not getting dead weight into a wheelbarrow
Why would the son check the barn when he said he had done his chores at the barn before leaving for the day! He would have noticed the dad being there when he left! 💯
Is her hand over her mouth because she is wanting to speak up to him? Seems odd he deleted film footage. Convenient. If your Dad is missing why the heck would you delete it while your searching for him ? Something isn't right.
They were able to retrieve all the deleted pics. Nothing fishy.
Both of the sons do a lot of head bobbing and moving left to right. I havent figured it all out yet.... very distracting
Lots of people talk with their head or their hands or both. I’m a hand talker. My friend is a head bobber lol. You can’t read something in to every move a person makes.
Melody loopks like the guy in The movie The Christmas Grinch.
She does . It's that upper lip esp
@@glo9547too much lip filler. She’s covering her lips because of it.
When you have to sit in Court and listen to your Son Testify about finding his Fathers body in a burn pile after his Mother Murdered him. She is not going to be able to enjoy the $ Million Estate from Prison. I guess the Children can split it up.
He is believable
I don’t know who did what yet at this point, but just because this man says what he says, that isn’t necessarily all solid proven truth right? His “feelings” are not specific evidence. And in some light, could be viewed as quite convenient. I dunno yet. It’s all awful.
Good evening from Denmark 🇩🇰 For me from the beginning the investigation has been poorly conducted. So far the prosecutor has not convinced me 💯% of Melody Ferris’ guilt. The two brothers mistook their father for a dollar machine. The father even sent a message to Chris to tell him he was going to change his codes cards.
Defense lawyer has shown himself up or should I say shown Melody Walker Farris up by accusing Scott and saying things like "that's where you made a mistake isn't it". Scott replied calmly and pefectly, as he has nothing to hide. He recognises his evil mother for what she is and I don't blame him one bit for disowning her and no longer calling her mom. She killed his father who may have been boring and a workaholic, but she was prepared to spend his money with another man and then off him when he started to restrict it in order to get the inheritance.
No doubt she thought she would get away with it and live happily ever after with her lover.
I'm sorry deleting the camera is very sketch behavior 👀
I caught that as well . I wonder can they retrieve the photos even though they have been deleted . I think in the Jodi arias case they were able to retrieve the deleted photos
@mandymckeown8625 well they did retrieve them but nothing was shown
Does the mom have any family members supporting her?
Yup!
He just quoted office space if anybody didn't notice that
oh really?
@CourtTV yea it's from the scene when he's at the hypnotherapist. That guy is either lying or his dad loved that movie and quoted it when telling his son how unhappy he is.
"Each day with my mother was the worst day of his life vs the day before. Every day was the worst day of his life"
"Every day of my life since I started work has been worse than the day before it. So that means every day you see me, it's the worst day of my life"
Yep, my ears went up like I was being pranked. Seen that movie 100x.
Well it is a good movie.
His dad probably saw the movie and could relate. No wonder living with her…..
Im confused why he was asked if he had anything to do with his dads murder. Did i miss something? Was there a reasonable cause for this question? I watched a shorter version if this, so thinking i missed something.
I asked the same thing!
Im i alone seeing a deadbeat son extremely bitter at his mom & her legal position of wife.........wow if pops is dead & mom (no i mean "melody" ) is locked up that would mean lazy heaven no more asking begging for $$$
She moved his body with the tractor
Melody looks like she really believes Scott did it. The person most nervous on the stand was the next door neighbor. I think that guy knows something. He may have done it because he wanted to be the one with Melody.
No family is perfect and these kids are no different but, I believe the Mom is a piece of crap for putting her kids through this.
If you solely focus on Melody. She keeps her head straight ahead but her eyes look to her right anytime Scott brings up a good defence point - as though she's looking at her lawyers to the right of her. Very, very suspicious. Slow it down and watch her!
