@Marsha Butler they had enough to make their decision and the internet searches were the clincher. Maybe he could have cried or shown anger at who could have done this to his wife. Too removed, cold, emotionless.
Yes, we all react differently to situations like this. He knew being convicted, his son would be an orphan and he would spend the rest of his life behind bars. Also the love between them had faded. All this could very well have made him numb and seemingly cold. A conviction should be based on facts, evidence and credible witnesses, not feelings or beliefs!
Like he eluded its no longer innocent till guilty but guilty till innocent and man would he need more than a solid alibi , they had him hung before the trial
I have always found this story super interesting because I had something eerily similar happen. Not a corn rake but a regular garden rake. I fell on it while raking rotten apples. I hurt myself, but I’m obviously still alive. Well, after I fell, I was hurt so bad that when I tried to get up, I fell right back down because of the pain, right back onto the rake. But I wonder, if I was actually hurt so badly that I died, would my husband be in prison right now?
Plus she was already dizzy from that surgery. Could you imagine being dizzy then the pain? Or slipping in a dirt floor, manybe tripping over equipment on the ground. It’s good to hear you’re OK. I remember watching this story the first time thinking it seems possible to have fallen down twice if you’re that dizzy. Thank you for sharing a you’re inside.
Well, between the internet searches and the affair/divorce I believe that's a done deal for what happened. If not for those factors it would have probably been more believable that it was an accident.
_His Defense should've coached him to look like he cared._ He did not love her, they had Marital issues, that's why he had no emotion which made him look bad to the Jury. A Jury will think you're Guilty if you have no Emotions. _She dealt with their Relationship being terrible by sleeping around with two Guys,_ and then she talked about Divorce to folks, which brought Hatred in his heart. Todd should've just let her go regardless of possibly having to pay child support, Alimony, and losing half the Farm. He had a Temper as well per witnesses. His Character was in question in this case.
What confuses me, if she was assaulted, why does she only have 6 puncture wounds, not 8 from 2 strikes. ?She'd have 8 being hit twice from a 4 spiked fork. Trying to get back up & falling backwards again at a different angle loosing balance, creating 6. 2 human strikes would result in 8. no? **she was cleaning lightbulbs and lost her balance twice, in front of her child even, being high up.
I think the google searches convinced the jury. Personally, I felt there was enough reasonable doubt, but I think the google searches are very suspicious to say the least.
@@leeannacarter4370exactly. I watched this trial and have always believed that the jury got it wrong. That female prosecutor was a real unethical piece of work. He is innocent.
@@TheBrownIslandYou forgot to add that one of her lovers worked on the farm and was present that day. He wouldn't leave his wife for her. Maybe motive? Wasn't her first rodeo either.
Happy that I’m not the only one that thinks this. The juror openly says “if not Todd then who else”. As if their incredulity is somehow a sign of his guilt. I definitely wouldn’t be happy sending a man to jail for the rest of his life on such little evidence.
From a now divorced, faithful husband that's been cheated on by his wife multiple times. I can whole heartedly relate with his lack of emotion. At the end of my marriage if this would have happened to my wife I would have reacted the same exact way. The heart is beyond broken and all emotion is gone.
I'm a now divorced faithful wife who had much worse perpetrated on me by my ex husband. He is now dying by his own bad choices and it's horrible. Treat others how you want to be treated.
@@millicientaspinet5607 I can agree with that "christian lack of morals and ethics" I am first of all a deeply spiritual person(God is in my heart) and religious person ( I like gathering with people who I hope share my fundamental beliefs). But I have found through personal experience that many religious people are not loving,nice or helpful in the least. (Think of the Puritans and you have 'religious people' today). They are deeply unforgiving and stiff necked. Look for the person who is kind, decent and loving with a good sense of humor..
I’ve often been called cold an unemotional. If someone close to me was injured I’d feel confident that I could get them to the hospital faster than an ambulance. It’s a good thing this jury isn’t responsible for my fate. Did he do it? Maybe. Did the prosecution prove that? They sure as hell didn’t.
The prosecutor enraged me on his response to being accused a crime is not that of an innocent person's. Three interviews found here on UA-cam of people accused of crimes that were later proven to be innocent stand out in my head. All three were calm.( A fourth one I just remembered cried and denied it was a drug addict - the only one who showed the "appropriate" response). The bf in the Denise Huskins case. One was black guy when the police were looking at for a white guy. I can't remember the specifics of the third other than it was a white guy. Also watched plenty of cases this channel were the husband's/bf's interview behaviour were supposed to indicate their guilt only to find out they had nothing to do with it. Behaviour and reaction means nothing.
I think they would have demonised him the same way, if he hadn’t tried to drive her. It’s so messed up! I can’t believe the jury did that, why couldn’t just one of them say that there is basically no evidence for anything… cowards!

I know for a fact it's faster to drive to the hospital then wait for an ambulance the last time we called an ambulance out to the ranch it took them almost an hour to get here the last time I called the police out here it took over 2 hours for them to get here so the fastest help she could have gotten was by being driven immediately to the hospital and if that dispatcher hadn't told him to pull over she may have had a chance to survive
And then there are batsh!t crazy, narcissistic serial killers out there that are given 30-50 years with the possibility of parole. Justice is not blind, but very selective.
There's also the possibility that she actually had an accident, tried to get up and fell back on the rake. This may very well be a miscarriage of justice. Shouldn't we prefer to see a guilty man walk than an innocent man get life? The people who say "He did it" MIGHT be right and that's as much as they got - MAYBE
Yes, the fact that "belief" was the only thing they had to go on is enough only to believe someone is guilty, It's not enough to believe someone is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. That should be based on more than circumstantial evidence and feelings based on the "cold" behaviour of the suspect.
Hope he gets an appeal. I live in Iowa. People act on emotion not facts. They convicted on personality. A 17 year old shot his friend point blank in the middle of the day on a sidewalk downtown. He got 2 years. He's already free.
I'm horrified by what that juror said about him being 'cold'. I was on a jury a while ago and we were so careful to avoid making snap judgements like that. Whether or not he did it, I'm appalled that they managed to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on what the prosecution presented.
They go off of body language duh when the main suspect take the stand you don't think their reading him/her . Being a prior juror i thought you would know that
My family lives on a 600 acre farm at least 20-30 minutes from the hospital. I heard screaming as my husband & his brother were hit by a truck while riding a 4 wheeler. I jumped in the truck & backed up to my brother-in-law who was laying in the field with a broken leg. My husband took over driving to the hospital. That's how it's often done out in the country. My husband was a US Navy SEAL with extensive training in offensive & defensive driving. I know we got there quicker than it would have taken for an ambulance to get there & then turn around & drive to the hospital. 🤷♀️
Exactly… Why didn’t he cal an ambulance? BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO DRIVE OUT THERE THEN TURN AROUND AND GET TO THE HOSPITAL?? People have no common sense. We live out too and would not sit around waiting for an ambulance to arrive!
My childhood home was in the country and we actually had a situation where 911 was called and it took 28 minutes for an ambulance to arrive. The County we lived in and the neighboring County were arguing about who was closer to our address and couldn't decide... I can drive to EITHER counties hospital in less then 20 minutes without breaking any laws.. 28 minutes just to arrive.. not make it to the emergency room.
As of April 2023 Todd Mullis has asked for a new trial after some lawyers looked in to the case. Turns out the sheriff was good friends with Amy and so should not have been involved in this case. I hope he is granted a new trial with a more effective counsel and jurors who understand “reasonable doubt”.
Correct, but he also searched online about husbands killing wives. In any case, it was impossible to determine 100% that he killed her and that's the problem.
This man got railroaded straight up. Get him a new trial. His lawyer was so bad. And the prosecution had such a weak case that it comes down to a whisper on a phone call? Are you kidding me? This is outrageous. Someone needs to help this man.
@@evelynbarrios434 phsyical qualities do not determine a persons guilty vs not guilty. evidence does. i hope you never have to be judged based on your appearance.
@evelynbarrios434, I hope you never get asked to be on a jury. What an ignorant comment. He looks guilty. Really? You know what a guilty person looks like? There’s a standard guilty and not guilty look? That’s interesting can you provide a link to an image where I can view this guilty and not guilty standard look we all have as human beings that we use to put people in prison? Oh that’s right we aren’t that insane to put someone’s entire life in the hands of “well he looks guilty”. Lack of emotion for a woman that cheated on him not once but twice, and literally having the court confirm the 2nd affair right there in court - so he found out on the fly. Wow I can’t believe he wasn’t bawling his eyes out for this incredibly faithful woman! What a monster he is. His lack of emotion must mean he’s guilty. 🤦♂️
Anyone who lives in the country should be able to understand his actions which were completely appropriate, his demeanor and everything about him speaks to him being a hardworking and honorable man.
This is absolutely horrifying. Those jurors should be absolutely ashamed. Based on the evidence the son could have just as easily killed his mom for destroying the family and cheating on his dad. what a tragic miscarriage of justice.
Let me understand this. So we should think the son could have done it. But is horrifying to you to accept that the dad could have done it?. Apparently. They both alibi each other. But his dad was the one in control. He was directing his son where to go or where to be or what to do. He said that. His dad was the who sent him to exactly where his mother was dead to find her. His dad was also the one controlling his mother. Or perhaps the cats did it. Cause according to the dad. The cats take the done the security cameras. Of course. he had no idea of that. With your mentality. Then the cats could have done it as well. That man seems like an angry controlling freak.
exactly. i was screaming this the whole time. i don’t think the son did it but to me i think he looks more guilty than the dad. at first he said the dad never left his sight and then he changed his story to he doesn’t even know how long his dad was out of sight. possibly because he got spooked and wanted to save himself. again i’m 99% sure that’s not the case and i believe the son is innocent. but is there a possibly he did it? yes absolutely. utterly disgusting.
In America you’re not supposed to have to prove you’re innocent, they’re supposed to prove you’re guilty. Feel like this was a small town kangaroo court.

Absolutely one even said On the stand I thought he was cold, a cold fish. He was not passionate enough etc; oh my what about he maybe was trying to remain composed in the court he was trying to remain calm he wanted to get his point across without crumbling, I genuinely don't think this man is guilty well certainly they didn't convince me anyway. He was treated as guilty unless we prove innocent. They seem to take a dislike to him cause of personality traits therefore he said he is guilty. Poor man I don't think he did it. Crazy how the jurors came to their verdict.
Love how they found no evidence linking him to the crime but still found him guilty. The thing about jury is that they have the mindset of they would rather put an innocent man in jail than let a guilty man walk
@LAFITZ10 how can you believe some one so willing to lie to your face and on her back.... that was rude in just saying you can't obviously not trust her the only thing important to her was her... the son could have killed her and the married man she was banging in a truck on a back road at 39 years old could have left his phone at home and killed her
I’ve always lived in the country. I’ve been seriously hurt several times, never called 911, and drove myself to a hospital. I’ve also gotten up and fallen again on one of those accidents. I’ve also been a private investigator that investigated murders and I can tell you that blood would have been everywhere had someone hit and killed her. I believe she fell on the corn rake because she was dizzy and was then injured so badly that she fell on the rake again while the rake was still partially stuck in her back, causing more punctures than four. An innocent man has been unjustly convicted. There was more than reasonable doubt.
Perfectly reflects all of my thoughts! Raised on a farm, 30 miles away from the nearest hospital, when we had injuries, it was immediately into the truck, race to town to the hospital. This was a travesty of injustice upon Mr. Mullis. I hope the Innocence Project can dig into this!
You don’t *ever* remove the impaled object from the person, let alone move them! And this idiot did both. Let’s not forget his Google history, which was on *his* tablet. Oh and his claim that the cats messed with the security system.
Yes! That is exactly what I think happened and is what I've thought since watching the trial live. Fact, she was dizzy. Having recently had a surgery of some sort. She walks into a storage barn/shed on a farm. Of course it's going to have everyday farm implements and other items in with the pet carrier. She walks in and gets dizzy, she falls back into the rake twines. She is hurt, bleeding and a nurse. She knows how bad she is hurt and knows she has to move herself. She pulls herself off and now the blood loss on top of being dizzy and she falls back into it. I've lived in the country my entire life in the country and this is totally in the realm of possibility.
It’s scary that he was convicted on the point of not calling 911 but instead taking her to the hospital. Ambulances can take ages to arrive, especially in places in the middle of nowhere, maybe on his appeal they will gather more evidence that actually does prove his guilt because this isn’t enough. As far as disposition: him being ‘guilty because he looked cold’, thats another tragic judgement. When my best friend died of suicide, I didnt outwardly show emotion, everyone is different, so it was foolish of them to mark him as guilty just because of these 2 things.
@@fionnagrey2425 I'm guessing you have never been to Iowa. I have family that lives there and I've been many times. It doesn't work like that. You have to wait for the ambulance to come and then they take them to be air lifted if necessary. It Just doesn't work like that out there
If driving to the hospital is the fastest way to get an injured person medical care, as opposed to waiting for emergency services to come to you, then it makes perfect sense to not call 911 until you’re already on the road. Why would you waste valuable time calling before you leave for the hospital, when you can make that call while you’re moving and let them know what’s going on.
Those internet searches and the _coincidental_ malfunctioning of the barn's cameras allegedly "caused by his cat" are indicative of his guilt for starters.
@@rௐணThere's no evidence that he was the one who did the searches since everyone in the family used the device. As for the cameras, they weren't working for about two weeks before the incident, not just on the material day, and the explanation he gave seems plausible to me.
@@teddymurigi7064 Are you naive?!! WOW. You really think that that camera dint work that night because of a cat??? Come on buddy, I know u r an intelligent person
@@rௐண Can you prove to me that the cat story is improbable? If the antenna had been knocked over, then the camera wouldn't work. Can the cats knock over the antenna? Yes they can.
I honestly don’t know about this one but usually in the 911 call you can tell but in this one Todd sounded real and as far as him taking her into ER that was faster than waiting for an ambulance.
I don't think it sounds great for him personally, it makes me hesitant to defend him, but regardless that isn't what guiltiness is based on and they didn't prove anything. I don't understand how he was convicted
@@no_peace I know what you mean. Realistically it doesn’t seem like an accident, so who had a motive? Her record of committing adultery could of pushed him over the edge. The literature looked up on the internet was not good. I’m going to watch this again I think.
In rural areas you throw people in a truck first and call 911 on the way. Its much much faster and then generally you meet an ambulance. Thats normal even back in the day before cell phones only difference you drove or flew to the hospital.
I absolutely agree not to mention a lot of times in the country paramedics & firefighters are volunteer and can be very slow or not the rite fit for the job,
Given that she was extremely paranoid about him finding out (evident by her telling literally everybody), the internet searches can be explained perfectly by her own sense of guilt and paranoia. The cameras weren't working for weeks. Where is a single piece of even circumstantial evidence?
casey anthony was more guilty. and walked. but i really think Todd hated her after her affairs. their marriage was over a long time ago. he tried to control her, and she relapsed. victims of DV are afraid to leave, to divorce. both adults were messed up. he couldve save his children by not killing THEIR mom.
I have a very close friend who was going through marital problems like most people but last summer he tripped while working in his yard and fell full body force on garden sheers and they punctured his chest and missed his heart by three centimeters ! He almost died that day I'm glad he's alive and was able to tell his story
What confuses me, if she was assaulted, why does she only have 6 puncture wounds, not 8 from 2 strikes. ?She'd have 8 being hit twice from a 4 spiked fork.

There is a lot of doubt in my mind. Internet search: could have been done by the actual cheating wife. Living at a far away farm, I , as well, would have take my close one and make a call from the car , to speed up the rode to the hospital. In highly stressful situations, human beings often make illogical decisions.
Have to agree. I also think they twisted the son's words. If someone goes to the restroom, or for water, as he did, you don't see the other person during that time, but you would notice if they took longer than usual.. The narrator even said there was not enough time for dad to get there and back. This was not brought out at trial. Sad.
People in the country don't always call 911. My uncle held his leg together in the back of a pickup on the way to the hospital. My cousin got burned terribly and took himself to urgent care. He then went home in agony to heal for weeks AMA. Accidents happen on farms. This is a crazy verdict.
This is so true! I have heard countless stories. Women in advanced labor driving themselves to the hospital. A hunter who shot his friend with an arrow in the abdomen and hauled him in in the bed of a pickup. A woman whose husband cut off 3 fingers with a saw and she dropped him off at the clinic and went to her hair appointment.
It doesn’t even have to be someone in the country. I never go to the doctor or ER unless I have to. I am a federal worker and it is too expensive to do anything unless you have to.
There is little to no evidence that Todd did this. As SOON as the son said she was having dizzy spells that day I immediately put together what could have happened and it baffles me that nobody thought of this. This could have easily been accidental. Ex: she went into the red shed, while trying to get the cat box she got dizzy and fell on the corn rake, tried to pick herself up but fell again. Also, if she would have been “hit” 3 times wouldn’t we have 12 stab wounds? Instead of 6? Also, I think the friends are exaggerating a little. You can never rely on word of mouth, people like to twist things around to make it fit. I think she was cheating, looked up what happens to cheating wives. This whole case is a joke.
LOL, your insanely far-fetched theory reminds me of "The Staircase," where the murderer's defense attorneys claimed that she had several slashes on the back of her head because she slipped and fell backward on the stairs, slashed her head open on the corner of the doorframe and bled everywhere, then got up and slipped in her own pool of blood, falling backward and slashing her head again on the doorframe, creating an even bigger pool of blood, which she stood up in and slipped and fell backward again, slashing her head of the corner of the doorframe an unbelievable third time! accidentally
@@flt528 It's not far fetched at all. If she was attacked the wounds are just as confounding. The problem with "sleuths" like yourself is you never actually look at fatal injuries critically when there's absolutely no suspicion of foul play (maybe several witnesses or zero opportunity for foul play). What you'd find if you did this is that, unless you have a second by second video of how someone got injured, many injuries would be hard to explain after the fact.
I am so glad im not the only one thinking that this was unfair. I had a newborn son and one day i woke up at like 4am and went to check on him and i didnt hear or feel him breathing. I literally rushed him to the hospital. Im not waiting for 911, ambulance its faster for me to I didnt even call police. What todd did Was better then me. He called WHILE he was attempting CPR....he deserves a new trial and lawyers

"We found him guilty beyond reasonable doubt because we couldn't explain how else she might have died." What a sense of duty! This trial is flawed in its entirety. The jury did not understand that putting a possibly innocent man behind bars for life is far worse than letting a criminal out.
This is what happens when the jury is not informed by the court what their job is and how the law works. It's reasonable doubt - it's not CSI where there has to be proof. He did not get a fair trial in my book, especially his attorney telling the jury Amy was murdered case in point.
Exactly! For all I know, it could’ve been the lover. Maybe she pretended to be sick to go and meet him, and then they had a disagreement because obviously she wanted to marry him but he wanted to break up, and he stabbed her with a fork... While the poor husband was unsuspectingly working in the farm.
My great grandmother had a brain aneurysm while gardening and feel on a rake. Unfortunately, it stabbed her in the neck. My uncle had just arrived home and found her and thought someone murdered her. Very sad case
As long as we pay jurors a pittance, expect them to take weeks off, and excuse every person who is smart enough to lie or express some reason they can’t or shouldn’t serve, we’re always going to have the least intelligent people on the planet serving as jurors. They system needs an overhaul that respects jurors time and costs.
@Tentin Quarantino Where I live, we receive fully paid holidays, illness and jury duty time. We also have paid time off in the case of death of a family member. I've served on a jury. 8 of us had full time jobs and University degrees. We were all paid expenses for travel to and from court. We were given healthy lunches and snacks for breaks. That ensures a good and efficient jury, with nobody being disadvantaged by serving. Even the 2 smokers had a special room to use. I see it as my duty to serve on juries, if called.
This is the first case that made me felt no justice to the husband without watching the whole story,.. Felt very sad not only for the lost and also for the fate of the husband and the children
That's disgusting. I think cheating is vile no matter which person is doing it, but no one deserves to die like that, either. Adults have the ability to separate the wrong action of her affairs and her gruesome death.
I agree with you 💯. Unfortunately, a lawyer can sleep through 25% of a trial and STILL somehow be deemed "effective" by an appeals court (and yes, that was a real case). For anyone interested, look up "ineffective assistance of counsel appeals" to check out just how difficult it is to prove that counsel was ineffective. For every 1,000 appeals, maybe it gets proven one time. Absurd.
My first question, if you were worried about your wife, why would you ask her to make any extra trips on the way to the house at all? Especially something so easy for you or your son to do? Why would you put her in danger at all. She should have been going straight to the house. And, why would you send your son to check on your mom if you didn't see the pet carrier? Wouldn't you say something like, "looks like mom forgot carrier, can you go get it". Why would you say, check on mom if you had given her the option to even get the carrier. If it does seem right. It's not. Jury was correct.
By the end of most of these cases, I’m happy to see justice served. This case leaves a lot of questions and I’m not confident the jury got this one right 😢
I feel like everyone on the jury forgot their objective. "GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT". EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER has their doubts on this case. It very well could be that he killed her, but the only question a jury needs to answer time and time again is, "IS HE GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT?" I swear even the judge forgot. It's not about justice, it's not about revenge, it's not even about doing the right thing, it's about preventing sending someone who MIGHT be innocent to jail. Not about finding justice for her "killer" if there even was one. Does all the evidence point to this man being a murderer? Maybe a little? But not all? Then don't send him to jail.
This is so ridiculous 🙄. And I've read that appeal was also denied. How insane that those 12 jurors sent a man for life in prison without any physical forensic evidence 😳. I hope his family will fight for him and he gets released, or at least new beyond reasonable doubts evidence occurs. Horrible honestly, I feel this man had completely unjust trial
It is America if it was in Europe they follow rules he wouldn't have been even gone to trial because their is no evidence nothing.but again this is America where a real criminal goes away because he had very good lawyer.
@@massivepump3059 thats bullsh*t. Nothing to do with feminism. No matter what we think, there was really no solid evidence. I am not on his side, but I also can't understand on what legal basis did they incarcerate him.

I watched the entire trial. I think when she fell, by reflex she attempted to get up and then fell again. The prosecutor also accused him of saying something derogatory to her while performing CPR and having 911 on the line. I listened to the recording manny times and could not come close to that accusation. I couldn’t vote him guilty if I was on the jury.
It was odd to me when he became frustrated I think while doing CPR and sorta yelled at her to breathe, but I think it was his way of processing she just wasn’t going to be resuscitated and he was upset. Being mad at a loved one for leaving you is a normal part of grieving. I’m not taking up for this guy because this one has me perplexed but I sorta don’t think this was an accident.
What I find baffling is that there was no blood splatter found , neither on the husband or where the wife was found. In my view you can’t brutally impale someone and there be no trace on you whatsoever. Just doesnt make sense
what also doesn't make sense to me is, if she stumbled and the rake came through her back, why was she laying on her front? And why six holes, not four? Really sounds like someone attacked her from behind, and clearly the dad had an alibi with the son...
@@theone1681 even if the bleeding will be internal there is no chance that after skin get punctured blood won't appear, maybe if the rake was left in her then yes. Other then that only if she was already dead before being stab.
When you don't have investigators collecting evidence & detectives requesting investigators what to collect and how to also you get what you get. We need legistation passed to support police academy's for all deputies/sheriff's to learn police work before doing ANY investigations/detective work EVER without the correct training & knowledge. Period.
If I was one of the jurors who was interviewed, I wouldn’t want my name released either. Those jurors sent a man to prison without adequate proof. Terrible injustice to him and his children.
Oh I’d say there’s enough proof. The Google searches, and blaming the cats for knocking over the security system are pretty damning. Also, the fact he didn’t follow proper protocol in *not* removing an object from a person, as well as moving an injured person. Two big no no’s. That’s negligence as well.

No direct evidence that point to him as being her attacker, this vary well could have been a rare bizarre accident. This man deserves a new trial and defense team!!
I had a loved one pass away many years ago by falling on a object impaling them, and getting up to go get help, and immediately falling again. Impaling them again. Was on security footage. I immediately thought of this when hearing this case.
I can’t believe the nail in the coffin was him not calling 911 and internet searches. I live in a very rural area and the nearest hospital is 40 minutes away. It’s extremely common for people in rural areas to either not call 911 and transport the injured person themselves, or call 911 on their way. We’ve had to call an ambulance before and it took them almost as long to get to our home than it did had we just drove them ourselves. The internet searches could have been made by anybody, especially the man she was cheating with being he worked there and probably had access to their computers. Idk if the husband did it, but they certainly shouldn’t have found him guilty. They did not prove him guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
That’s how some people do things, they don’t wait they act. He acted. What I would want in an emergency too if I were hurt, unless of course it’s a neck or back injury then it’s best to not move the person until help arrives. The one juror said he was trying to get her away from the crime scene/farm. That’s based on an assumption, and is not enough to convict someone.
It actually makes a lot of sense for someone living rurally but 12 minutes from the hospital to rush to the hospital (i.e. assured medical attention in 12 minutes) than to risk waiting for emergency response that may be dispatched from further away.
Depending on the situation calling on the way is your best bet if you need immediate help. It's fairly common in rural areas to do that. You can meet EMTs halfway but people should know not to remove objects if stabbed. In the moment he might not have realized it would slow her bleeding and ideally should've left the rake in her and put her in the car. Then drove while calling 911 on the way.
She was probably worried about him finding out and was searching "what happens to cheating wives". Why would you even search that if you're the husband? Not how to clean blood? Or Farm Accidents? She was even searching for wedding dresses, as if the guy she was cheating with was actually going to leave his family.
If some of these women put the same effort that they waste on another man that most likely isn't even serious, back into their marriages instead of humiliating and hurting their husbands, they would end up alive, and most likely better off cuz. that is all he really wants after getting over the forgiving part ...
As a mental health blogger, a fan of true crime, and a naturally curious person, I wonder what my search history would reveal if used in court. I'd probably be convicted if something happened to someone close to me
But can you honestly say you’ve googled things like that? Especially around the time someone close to you dies in a mysterious circumstance. Any how to’s is very suspicious to me. I didn’t hear any here but for other cases. I’ve googled definitions of certain words or the legal terms. Never anything about death or killing.
Right??! That's what I was thinking. That's not how this works people....man the guy's face when they said guilty too. You could tell he wasn't expecting that and I don't think he should have been because I think it's most LIKELY that he didn't do it.
NO. There was Enough Circumstantial Evidence to convict him. *The Jury went by the Evidence presented:* (1) *His Son did not know how much time he spent away from his Dad* when he went away a couple times. (2) *Todd did Online Searches on what to do with a Cheating Wife.* (3) He *sent the Son directly to the Red Barn* like he knew she was in there. (4) The *Barn Cameras suddenly not working that day but ok the next day.* (5) *She was impaled by the Rake at least twice which made 6 holes in her Body.* (6) *Marital problems with a Cheating Wife* who started cheating again! (7) *Todd's Cold demeanor.* _Defense should've coached him to look like he cared._ ...
Yes, by the end of this episode, I didn't feel he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, like I do with most of these cases. I don't think she fell on the rake in an accident because of the 6 holes, but I do feel like someone else did it, and the husband knows who it is and is covering it up. That's all I'm going to say.
What confuses me, if she was assaulted, why does she only have 6 puncture wounds, not 8 from 2 strikes. ?She'd have 8 being hit twice from a 4 spiked fork. Trying to get back up & falling backwards again at a different angle loosing balance, creating 6. 2 human strikes would result in 8. no? **she was cleaning lightbulbs and lost her balance twice, in front of her child even, being high up.
Glad to see I’m not the only one here who thinks he didn’t do it. I hope he gets a new trial. Also, his facial expression when the friend said Todd is someone you don’t mess with cracked me up. It said to me, “Uhh I wasn’t aware I had that reputation.”lol
Yeah I don't think he did. Especially if he was with his son and then the son didn't seem like he was having trouble recounting the day. Seems like he is being truthful
the love protecting cheaters too, imagine him divorcing her and she gets half of his assest and money while she goes on living with the other devil. Don't you think system failed here too?
Those jurors should be in prison if they think they were supposed to convict based on no other plausible explanation. That makes me sick. I hope he gets a retrial.

I’ve been a juror and some of the conclusions the other jurors come up with where based off personal feelings and/or their religion. Not to mention if you end up with a group of jurors who cannot interpret the law, innocent people will be convicted and guilty people will walk free. Some people would rather convict than potentially let a guilty person go. It’s terrifying. Someone’s fate really comes down to that.
You mean like in this case where a lot of commenters think he's not guilty despite the evidence b/c he's a farmer and of course politically conservative like them so he can do no wrong? The jury got it right.
there was plenty of evidence, but very little physical evidence because he tampered with it, there was also no physical evidence pointing to anyone else
I remember when I first heard this case it was explained how it could have been an accident and it made complete sense. I totally believe this was a freak accident
This is outrageous! Not one shred of evidence proved that he killed her. No blood on Jim and not been near her as spoke by his son. All they did was paint her a victim of dv but clearly the woman was not afraid of her husband because she cheated 2xs. Of course there would be stipulations about carrying on a relationship with a cheater after they were busted! She didn't leave because she was trying to save her own character
The iPad searches hit me hard because I work in IT and have managed hundreds of iPads and they are single tenant devices. What I mean is you can’t have multiple user profiles like a computer, it’s a shard device so whatever someone searches could be from anyone that’s used the device. Even if the husband did look that stuff up it’s sill not enough to convict and you can’t prove he looked it up so it shouldn’t be used as a deciding factor.
@@oldmanfromoc7684 nice to know you at least watched only 9 minutes of the video and fell asleep for the rest of it, you'll make a great jury according to them
What did him in was the Google searches, as well as his silly explanation of saying the cameras were knocked over because of the cats. Also, anyone with half a brain should know you never remove a punctured object from a person, as that can worsen the injury and cause more bleeding. They also moved her in general, which is also a bad idea. You don’t ever move an injured person as that too can worsen their condition.
@@RYMAN1321 it would be reasonable to think that cats could knock down cameras and a person might remove an object when panicking. *Reasonable* Doubt seems to be a concept that's difficult for you to understand.
@@LilMOMMAson Let’s not forget those Google searches were done on *his* computer. Also, no. I’m sorry, I’ve known forever that removing an object like they did is the wrong thing to do. If anything, he’s in prison for pure negligence because of his reckless actions. That’s why many people are in prison anyway. Because they didn’t think things though, and acted in the heat of the moment .
This is the first episode I've watched where I felt like reasonable doubt should have been in his favor it's also crazy the judge wouldn't let the retrial happen. Was he not in the room the whole time?
I don’t know if he did it or not but I definitely don’t think it was proved he did it. The jury didn’t even all think he did it but said nobody else made sense… that’s a terrible reason to convict a man.
I think the son did it. He walked into the shed overheard his Mom on phone with guy having affair. He knew or would destroy his family, blamed his Mom for not being happy with the Dad. They fought, and he killed her. The dad took rap . That why Todd put Mom in son lap on way to hospital, explains blood on son.
@@shawnagunn9054 oh my! I found you! I have the same thoughts! Goosebumps! I dunno but I just felt odd and didn’t find the husband guilty. My heart says it’s the son. 😢
They always make it sound bad if you don’t call an ambulance but if you’ve ever been in a serious situation where every second counts sometimes you just throw them in the car and try to get them to help. I live in a small town you can get most anywhere in 15 minutes, the ambulance took closer to an hour to get to us. I spent the whole time trying to get my husband in the car because I knew I could be faster.
I totally agree. I have done the same thing! No one can judge how other people SHOULD react in certain situations which is all that I heard on this video.
It's dishonest, anyone in a rural area knows how long an ambulance will take to get there, then it has to drive back again, it's twice as long in some places
He was racing her to the hospital and even pulled over to administer CPR, he was even frantic (for real) on the phone. I think he is innocent. They said she had 6 puncture wounds but if he did it wouldn't she have eight? It seems like she fell on it, tried to lift herself up and fell again. I can see her trying to roll over on her side instead of just lifting herself up, was able to get 2 of them out but because she was so weak she fell again and made 2 new holes. I think they got this one wrong
My prayers are with that young teenager that will NEVER forget seeing his mother bloodied & dead... That poor young man's brain is forever changed. Condolences to Amy's family & friends.
Yea, for me this case leaves plenty of reasonable doubt he's innocent, and for nearly everyone here. I don't see one comment saying they feel beyond a reasonable doubt he's guilty. it's like the jury decided to find him guilty unless they had absolutely no doubt he was innocent which IS very scary.
@@Ciesiam If he killed her the blood would be all over him, walls, everywhere. His sons testimony clears him 100%. This woman fell on the spikes, tried to get up, pain and shock caused her to fail so she landed back on the spikes, tried to crawl out but wounds were to o bad.

@@DJJahT What evidence though? There is no direct evidence there's just a lack of redeeming evidence in his favor. I dont like the guy but the 6 holes doesnt seem as problematic to me as it did to the jurors, I think its reasonable to think that she couldve fallen onto the rake and then, with big metal spikes impaling her she couldve had a sudden jolt of pain or numbness while trying to get up causing her to "fall" onto it again. That combined with the son being with him for the majority of time and the lack of any direct evidence seems like it should be enough for reasonable doubt.
@@SpydersByte There's plenty of evidence.. motive check, temperament check, lying to the police that their relationship was "tight" check, the video tape erased by cold cats check...She had more injuries than just stab wounds.

I also live in a very rural area. I've called the police when I saw a woman being beaten by her drug addicted, adult granddaughter. The police called me an two hours later wanting to know if the victim and abuser were still across the street! When I said no, he wanted to know where I thought they were! My sister-in-law fell straight back, hitting her head on our tile kitchen floor due to a seizure. She was unconscious. It took the ambulance almost 30 minutes to reach our house. Then they almost refused to take her to the hospital because she knew her name and who the president was. If someone lives in a rural area, we know we have to take action, not depend on emergency services to come to us. This man deserves a new trial for many reasons, not the flimsy issue of when he called 911 and the fact his son didn't see him for a few minutes while getting a drink in a different area of the barn.
He just wanted to get her to the closest hospital as he could, not wait an hour+ for an ambulance to get there. As for not callin 911 asap, he was probably in shock!
I am absolutely shocked that he was convicted. It was so eerie to hear the Juror talk about convicting him based on his emotion or lack thereof. That his emotion can have more of an impact on them than evidence. Crazy...

@@gena4638 You read my comment history? Funny indeed. I am all amazement! lol And "broken English"... for a 2nd foreign language I believe it's rather splendid. ;-)
Half the jury went in with doubts. But then it took just 7 hours for those 6 people to come to the decision that he was guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. Wow. That's insane.
Yeah, that’s not strange at all. That’s the point of deliberations - the jurors all talk about the evidence and some are swayed to the other side and they usually come to a consensus to convict or acquit. It’s the whole point of deliberations and why they don’t simply poll the jurors straight after the closing arguments. And 7 hours isn’t necessarily a short amount of time for one to change their mind in.
What a heartbreaker. This poor man. I think a lot of his conviction had to do with his wife's many "friends" (other liars and adulteress) who were too willing to paint him as a brutal and evil killer when he was just a patsy who everyone made fun of because he loved his wife and family.
And you know that her friends were lying and adulterers? How do you know that. Btw, why put quotes around “friends”? Are you implying that they weren’t her friends? If that’s what you think, it contradicts your statement that they’re lying: why would they lie if they weren’t her friends?
There is NOTHING wrong with setting the terms for reconciliation after an affair. Telling her that if she wants to reconcile, she needs to leave her job (likely where the affair started), that’s 100 percent fine. She could’ve left, which would’ve been fine, but she decided those terms were acceptable. Therefore she was not “forced”. Those are called consequences. Again, when you cheat you lose all bargaining power if reconciliation is what you really want. People honestly shouldn’t even give cheaters second chances
True and there is nothing wrong with acting normal when you are accused of killing your wife because if he behaves insane then cops think “oh his behavior is so violent and he must have killed his wife due to his anger issues”. Idea of jury is scary after listening to this trial. Either it’s her lover because she reconciled or it was an accident.
@@cmore8273 yea because I personally reconciled myself and the whole point is to forget what happened and give your relationship a second chance because when you look at kids and your old memories it’s hard to let go and trust someone new. It doesn’t mean you hold grudge against your partner. I don’t know why Jury didn’t think about this factor.
@@jasminekaur4254 also could have been the lover’s wife. Remember they said Amy’s husband called her and told her he thought their spouses were having an affair. Also maybe Amy was shagging some other men, too. And last but not least it just as easily could have been the son. How do you eliminate him? Maybe he knew his mom was having another affair with their farm worker. I doubt it, but seriously there’s reasonable doubt right there.
I am an over 20 true crime addict. And if I have only learned one thing… it is this! I will never speak to police in any such situation! The “Miranda rights” openly tell you, among other things… “ what you SAY, CAN, and WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU IN A COURT OF LAW!” Enough said. If there is “evidence enough to arrest a person, the “interrogation “ is a non issue.” I am very pro law and order, but I see many cases where people are convicted and I feel there was not ample evidence to convict them “beyond all reasonable doubt.” One man’s opinion.
I believe there was reasonable doubt. I can think of a few other people who might want to hurt her. And even without those people I still think there was reasonable doubt. As for him not calling 911, I live in a rural area. It is faster to throw a person in a truck to take to the hospital instead of waiting on volunteers ambulance people. In rural areas it can take 45 minutes or longer to round up and get a volunteer crew out to a scene in my rural community. It seems like the jury decided they couldn't come up with another explanation so it must have been him vs did the prosecutor prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt. Based off what I saw here and heard from the jury...I would not have voted to convict.
The extra prong wounds? The muttered words His google searches And he was known As very jealous and controlling Plus he had abused the poor pigs too I watched the trial and read up on this case
An ambulance won't even be able to get back where I live because we didn't have the necessary equipment to clear huge oaks so nothing wider than a regular pick up can get down the last quarter of a mile and our neighbor lives only a 1/2 mile down the dirt road and it's a wide road but extremely bumpy and his wife had cancer and they came once and said they would not go back to that address so we have to at least get to our mailboxes at the railroad tracks and the hard road - they said that dirt road (limestone) is bad on their inside medical equipment so that's not odd to me at all but after all evidence presented I was convinced of his guilt and feel the jury got it right - he shouldn't have taken the stand and he would have had a better shot - the jurors on Anthony today's case said without his testimony they would have had reasonable doubt but the defendant can sometimes remove any reasonable doubt - maybe others wanted to hurt her but the detectives covered that angle very well - those computer searches were bazaar, Amy was curious how cheaters were dealt with in the middle ages? I doubt it and I doubt their children would search those subjects - the man is a control freak sorta like Anthony Todt
Then if you were on the jury you would have let a murderer go free... I hope you never serve on a jury.... We have enough murderers walking around amongst us as it is
The Man is guilty as charged he deserves everything… i’ve got no sympathy for husband killers or even wife killers the man is guilty as charged and he should Rote in jail where he belongs
I think as a former police officer that to be able to find him guilty is rediculous. In that short of a time he didn’t have one spot of blood or dna on him. There wasn’t enough time for him to change or clean up. Juries suck
Lmao as a former police officer you think it should be up to one person or whatever and only those people who know the law and/or have their interest and use it in their favor? Yikes
Brutal. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a case with more reasonable doubt. Even the supposed motive was super weak. This women cheated on this guy a million times and he took her back, yet THIS time he was going to lose the farm. Lol she was afraid of him? Yet did he ever abuse her or do wrong by her? I think most women would be afraid if they are cheating on their husbands religiously. And by afraid I mean afraid of being caught.
Very good points. If she had reason to fear him then why would she provoke him by cheating? That doesn't seem logical. I've never heard of a woman in a relationship with an abusive man go off and cheat on him. Violent people are already provoked by so much less.
He or his family need to contact the innocence project.This is what they do period help innocent people get out of jbill period prayers and I wish him the best
I hope I am NEVER in a position whereby my destiny lies in the hands of jurors. They havent got a single clue about how you'd naturally react in those rare and heinous times that some of us encounter... I've been on a jury once and honest to goodness, people really ought to have an IQ/EQ test before selection. 🤦♀️
Definitely! If Casey and OJ got off.. but yet there are hundreds if not thousands of innocent people that get charged and convicted all over the country every year. It’s scary! But that’s also why you want the very best lawyer you can get if you’re ever in a horrible situation and you’re 100% innocent. I don’t know if he’s innocent or not but he definitely deserves a new trial.
I thought his peers would have some experience of farm life. So many of those circumstances are completely normal. The jury wanted a CSI experience; recordings, DNA. Their accesment that waiting 17 to 23 minutes for EMS rather than driving half way isn't proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
I could not agree with you more. It is terrifying. Thankfully, a defendant can always choose a judge to decide his/her fate instead of a jury. Judges were criminal lawyers and criminal lawyers know the law. If I were innocent, and yet there was evidence that I was not a likable person: eg. there was evidence that I was jealous, controlling, adulterous or [insert all personality flaws] I would DEFINITELY choose a judge and NOT a jury. Juries are overly swayed by their likes/dislikes of the defendant and irrelevant character evidence.
It’s a myth that IQ equates to competency…. It’s why we have so many with learning disabilities, autism and other disabilities in the criminal justice system to be found “competent” . They don’t take into consideration neurobehavioral issues or problem solving, etc. You can have an autistic person with a high IQ still get in a car with a stranger. Yet they can be labeled inappropriately “high functioning” because the mental health system is clueless about autism.

@Marsha Butler they had enough to make their decision and the internet searches were the clincher. Maybe he could have cried or shown anger at who could have done this to his wife. Too removed, cold, emotionless.
It is so scary to me to hear a juror talk about being persuaded by someone's emotion or lack of emotion.
Yes, we all react differently to situations like this. He knew being convicted, his son would be an orphan and he would spend the rest of his life behind bars. Also the love between them had faded. All this could very well have made him numb and seemingly cold. A conviction should be based on facts, evidence and credible witnesses, not feelings or beliefs!
Ya like they Said there job to show reasonable doubts not if he's the one , God for bid you ruined a family and he actually is innocent
Like he eluded its no longer innocent till guilty but guilty till innocent and man would he need more than a solid alibi , they had him hung before the trial
Speaks to how terrible the defense team was that they put him on the stand and that they didn’t coach him better for his testimony.
The justice system needs to be revised. Like now. It's so old school.
I have always found this story super interesting because I had something eerily similar happen. Not a corn rake but a regular garden rake. I fell on it while raking rotten apples. I hurt myself, but I’m obviously still alive. Well, after I fell, I was hurt so bad that when I tried to get up, I fell right back down because of the pain, right back onto the rake. But I wonder, if I was actually hurt so badly that I died, would my husband be in prison right now?
Plus she was already dizzy from that surgery. Could you imagine being dizzy then the pain? Or slipping in a dirt floor, manybe tripping over equipment on the ground. It’s good to hear you’re OK. I remember watching this story the first time thinking it seems possible to have fallen down twice if you’re that dizzy. Thank you for sharing a you’re inside.
Weird accidents happen.
I thought this too she tried to get back up and fell
Well, between the internet searches and the affair/divorce I believe that's a done deal for what happened. If not for those factors it would have probably been more believable that it was an accident.
Far out, I thought exactly the same and made a separate comment before I saw this one
I have no idea if he killed her or not, but for jurors to find "guilt beyond reasonable doubt" is crazy.
Absolutely spot on.
My thoughts exactly
Its almost like people dont know what "beyond reasonable doubt" means anymore!
Next time let you be the next one…
He's guilty, jealousy will make a man do crazy things. No one knows anyone's deep end!
It's weird that if the suspect is calm, he's guilty. And if the suspect is overreacting, he's guilty.
_His Defense should've coached him to look like he cared._ He did not love her, they had Marital issues, that's why he had no emotion which made him look bad to the Jury. A Jury will think you're Guilty if you have no Emotions. _She dealt with their Relationship being terrible by sleeping around with two Guys,_ and then she talked about Divorce to folks, which brought Hatred in his heart. Todd should've just let her go regardless of possibly having to pay child support, Alimony, and losing half the Farm.
He had a Temper as well per witnesses. His Character was in question in this case.

The deductive reasoning of the jurors is shocking😳. To think people's fate is placed in their hands, is terrifying.
And it seems pretty easy to believe she could have tried to get up and then fell on it again. Or that she tried to roll over
Happy that I’m not the only one that thinks this. The juror openly says “if not Todd then who else”. As if their incredulity is somehow a sign of his guilt. I definitely wouldn’t be happy sending a man to jail for the rest of his life on such little evidence.
Exactly 🤯
That’s why jurors shouldn’t be random people…it should be trained individuals.
I so agree.. absolutely horrible..
From a now divorced, faithful husband that's been cheated on by his wife multiple times. I can whole heartedly relate with his lack of emotion. At the end of my marriage if this would have happened to my wife I would have reacted the same exact way. The heart is beyond broken and all emotion is gone.
I'm with you on that bruh

I’ve often been called cold an unemotional. If someone close to me was injured I’d feel confident that I could get them to the hospital faster than an ambulance. It’s a good thing this jury isn’t responsible for my fate. Did he do it? Maybe. Did the prosecution prove that? They sure as hell didn’t.
The prosecutor enraged me on his response to being accused a crime is not that of an innocent person's.
Three interviews found here on UA-cam of people accused of crimes that were later proven to be innocent stand out in my head. All three were calm.( A fourth one I just remembered cried and denied it was a drug addict - the only one who showed the "appropriate" response).
The bf in the Denise Huskins case. One was black guy when the police were looking at for a white guy. I can't remember the specifics of the third other than it was a white guy.
Also watched plenty of cases this channel were the husband's/bf's interview behaviour were supposed to indicate their guilt only to find out they had nothing to do with it.
Behaviour and reaction means nothing.
I think they would have demonised him the same way, if he hadn’t tried to drive her. It’s so messed up! I can’t believe the jury did that, why couldn’t just one of them say that there is basically no evidence for anything… cowards!
What confuses me, if she was assaulted, why does she only have 6 puncture wounds, not 8 from 2 strikes. ?She'd have 8 being hit twice from a 4 spiked fork. Trying to get back up & falling backwards again at a different angle loosing balance, creating 6. 2 human strikes would result in 8. no? **she was cleaning lightbulbs and lost her balance twice, in front of her child even, being high up.The abrasions on her wrists and knees coulda been her trying to get up
I know for a fact it's faster to drive to the hospital then wait for an ambulance the last time we called an ambulance out to the ranch it took them almost an hour to get here the last time I called the police out here it took over 2 hours for them to get here so the fastest help she could have gotten was by being driven immediately to the hospital and if that dispatcher hadn't told him to pull over she may have had a chance to survive
I really hate jurors condemning someone based off of their diagnosis of someone's emotional behavior. It's bull.
And then there are batsh!t crazy, narcissistic serial killers out there that are given 30-50 years with the possibility of parole. Justice is not blind, but very selective.
It sucks, worse is being coloured.
I had to spend 30 thousand for lawyers just to prove it wasn't me.
Guilty before proven innocent
@@kulvirkang7953 that's awful. Sorry that has to you
@@kulvirkang7953 a system so fd up at best. Cruel and disgusting!
Yeah, when they say - the reaction just 'doesn't fit' etc.
After watching this it is just unbelievable to me that 12 jurors actually believed that he was guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
Yeah I know right! That’s crazy!! That judge is even more corrupt for denying his motion for new trial.
There's also the possibility that she actually had an accident, tried to get up and fell back on the rake. This may very well be a miscarriage of justice. Shouldn't we prefer to see a guilty man walk than an innocent man get life? The people who say "He did it" MIGHT be right and that's as much as they got - MAYBE
Yes, the fact that "belief" was the only thing they had to go on is enough only to believe someone is guilty, It's not enough to believe someone is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. That should be based on more than circumstantial evidence and feelings based on the "cold" behaviour of the suspect.
Hope he gets an appeal. I live in Iowa. People act on emotion not facts. They convicted on personality. A 17 year old shot his friend point blank in the middle of the day on a sidewalk downtown. He got 2 years. He's already free.
So hos do you explain the Google searches?
This is a scary example of how a bad jury and bad lawyering can affect the entirety of your case….
Indeed
Yes indeed. I believe he is innocent
Very scary
Utter disgrace from the jury. This guy deserves a retrial
I'm horrified by what that juror said about him being 'cold'. I was on a jury a while ago and we were so careful to avoid making snap judgements like that. Whether or not he did it, I'm appalled that they managed to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on what the prosecution presented.
They said that after being specifically asked in an interview. It was an impression. It doesn't mean that's why they convicted him.
The prosecution didn’t prove even close to the standard “beyond a reasonable doubt” this was an appalling miscarriage of injustice
They go off of body language duh when the main suspect take the stand you don't think their reading him/her . Being a prior juror i thought you would know that
@@TryMeMrsRabbit40 Are u a body language expert?
Exactly
My family lives on a 600 acre farm at least 20-30 minutes from the hospital. I heard screaming as my husband & his brother were hit by a truck while riding a 4 wheeler. I jumped in the truck & backed up to my brother-in-law who was laying in the field with a broken leg. My husband took over driving to the hospital. That's how it's often done out in the country. My husband was a US Navy SEAL with extensive training in offensive & defensive driving. I know we got there quicker than it would have taken for an ambulance to get there & then turn around & drive to the hospital. 🤷♀️
Absolutely
Exactly… Why didn’t he cal an ambulance? BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO DRIVE OUT THERE THEN TURN AROUND AND GET TO THE HOSPITAL?? People have no common sense. We live out too and would not sit around waiting for an ambulance to arrive!
Ask him what BUDS class he was in
My childhood home was in the country and we actually had a situation where 911 was called and it took 28 minutes for an ambulance to arrive.
The County we lived in and the neighboring County were arguing about who was closer to our address and couldn't decide...
I can drive to EITHER counties hospital in less then 20 minutes without breaking any laws..
28 minutes just to arrive.. not make it to the emergency room.
I was in EMS for 15 years. I was always amazed at people that would wait on an ambulance instead of getting in route.
As of April 2023 Todd Mullis has asked for a new trial after some lawyers looked in to the case. Turns out the sheriff was good friends with Amy and so should not have been involved in this case. I hope he is granted a new trial with a more effective counsel and jurors who understand “reasonable doubt”.
Can you provide a link please?
@@Flamingpins No valid link will be provided b/c it's a made-up lie.

If were gonna talk about emotion i dont know how anyone can hear that 911 call and not hear a man desperately trying to save someone he loves life.
Correct, but he also searched online about husbands killing wives.
In any case, it was impossible to determine 100% that he killed her and that's the problem.
This man got railroaded straight up. Get him a new trial. His lawyer was so bad. And the prosecution had such a weak case that it comes down to a whisper on a phone call? Are you kidding me? This is outrageous. Someone needs to help this man.
He got exactly what he deserved, he's 100% guilty.

@evelynbarrios434,
I hope you never get asked to be on a jury. What an ignorant comment. He looks guilty. Really? You know what a guilty person looks like? There’s a standard guilty and not guilty look? That’s interesting can you provide a link to an image where I can view this guilty and not guilty standard look we all have as human beings that we use to put people in prison? Oh that’s right we aren’t that insane to put someone’s entire life in the hands of “well he looks guilty”.
Lack of emotion for a woman that cheated on him not once but twice, and literally having the court confirm the 2nd affair right there in court - so he found out on the fly. Wow I can’t believe he wasn’t bawling his eyes out for this incredibly faithful woman! What a monster he is. His lack of emotion must mean he’s guilty.
🤦♂️
Anyone who lives in the country should be able to understand his actions which were completely appropriate, his demeanor and everything about him speaks to him being a hardworking and honorable man.
LOL!! Yeah, hard-working if you consider it must have taken a lot of work to impale his wife. Don't be such a farmer fan boi.
@kenbob1071 oh you have the proof. Better get yourself to Iowa to show it to the court.
Exactly right! They jurors must not have understood agriculture at all. I don't see how they can face the people of that town!
@Marlaina he was found guilty .. there's the proof you need
This is absolutely horrifying. Those jurors should be absolutely ashamed. Based on the evidence the son could have just as easily killed his mom for destroying the family and cheating on his dad. what a tragic miscarriage of justice.
So I'm not the only one....
I thought this too
Let me understand this. So we should think the son could have done it. But is horrifying to you to accept that the dad could have done it?.
Apparently. They both alibi each other. But his dad was the one in control. He was directing his son where to go or where to be or what to do. He said that. His dad was the who sent him to exactly where his mother was dead to find her. His dad was also the one controlling his mother.
Or perhaps the cats did it. Cause according to the dad. The cats take the done the security cameras. Of course. he had no idea of that. With your mentality. Then the cats could have done it as well.
That man seems like an angry controlling freak.
It's called reasonable doubt!! There is more doubt than evidence which explains why there are so many people that don't agree with you!
exactly. i was screaming this the whole time. i don’t think the son did it but to me i think he looks more guilty than the dad. at first he said the dad never left his sight and then he changed his story to he doesn’t even know how long his dad was out of sight. possibly because he got spooked and wanted to save himself. again i’m 99% sure that’s not the case and i believe the son is innocent. but is there a possibly he did it? yes absolutely. utterly disgusting.
In America you’re not supposed to have to prove you’re innocent, they’re supposed to prove you’re guilty. Feel like this was a small town kangaroo court.

Absolutely one even said On the stand I thought he was cold, a cold fish. He was not passionate enough etc; oh my what about he maybe was trying to remain composed in the court he was trying to remain calm he wanted to get his point across without crumbling, I genuinely don't think this man is guilty well certainly they didn't convince me anyway. He was treated as guilty unless we prove innocent. They seem to take a dislike to him cause of personality traits therefore he said he is guilty. Poor man I don't think he did it. Crazy how the jurors came to their verdict.
Love how they found no evidence linking him to the crime but still found him guilty. The thing about jury is that they have the mindset of they would rather put an innocent man in jail than let a guilty man walk
Yea it’s messed up. It’s to get a raise in salary and fill up their stupid resumes.
one never knows what goes on in the collective minds of juries.
listen to the DEAD they TALK.... SHE WARNED OF THIS............. believe her.
@LAFITZ10 how can you believe some one so willing to lie to your face and on her back.... that was rude in just saying you can't obviously not trust her the only thing important to her was her... the son could have killed her and the married man she was banging in a truck on a back road at 39 years old could have left his phone at home and killed her
Theree was evidence. Maybe not solid but they had evidence. The internet search, he and his son were the only ones on the property.
I’ve always lived in the country. I’ve been seriously hurt several times, never called 911, and drove myself to a hospital. I’ve also gotten up and fallen again on one of those accidents. I’ve also been a private investigator that investigated murders and I can tell you that blood would have been everywhere had someone hit and killed her. I believe she fell on the corn rake because she was dizzy and was then injured so badly that she fell on the rake again while the rake was still partially stuck in her back, causing more punctures than four. An innocent man has been unjustly convicted. There was more than reasonable doubt.
Perfectly reflects all of my thoughts! Raised on a farm, 30 miles away from the nearest hospital, when we had injuries, it was immediately into the truck, race to town to the hospital. This was a travesty of injustice upon Mr. Mullis. I hope the Innocence Project can dig into this!
You don’t *ever* remove the impaled object from the person, let alone move them!
And this idiot did both.
Let’s not forget his Google history, which was on *his* tablet.
Oh and his claim that the cats messed with the security system.
Well, after all, it is Iowa
When they brought up the 6 punctures, that was my thinking. She may have fallen again...
Yes! That is exactly what I think happened and is what I've thought since watching the trial live. Fact, she was dizzy. Having recently had a surgery of some sort. She walks into a storage barn/shed on a farm. Of course it's going to have everyday farm implements and other items in with the pet carrier. She walks in and gets dizzy, she falls back into the rake twines. She is hurt, bleeding and a nurse. She knows how bad she is hurt and knows she has to move herself. She pulls herself off and now the blood loss on top of being dizzy and she falls back into it. I've lived in the country my entire life in the country and this is totally in the realm of possibility.
It’s scary that he was convicted on the point of not calling 911 but instead taking her to the hospital. Ambulances can take ages to arrive, especially in places in the middle of nowhere, maybe on his appeal they will gather more evidence that actually does prove his guilt because this isn’t enough. As far as disposition: him being ‘guilty because he looked cold’, thats another tragic judgement. When my best friend died of suicide, I didnt outwardly show emotion, everyone is different, so it was foolish of them to mark him as guilty just because of these 2 things.
I would have grabbed something to stop the bleeding then called for perimedics . They could have airlifted her to the hospital.
I think his search history had something to do with it as well....and that the cameras conveniently weren't working? Interesting.
Absolutely what I thought, about the 911 call. Like they are in the country of course they need to travel. But he shouldn’t of taken the rake out
@@Space-Glitter the cameras had not been working for weeks.
@@fionnagrey2425 I'm guessing you have never been to Iowa. I have family that lives there and I've been many times. It doesn't work like that. You have to wait for the ambulance to come and then they take them to be air lifted if necessary. It Just doesn't work like that out there
This juror made me so damn mad. Everything she pointed out as to why they established a guilty verdict was crap. No proof it was him whatsoever.
Dude this BREAKS my heart! The other guy had more motive he'd lose his family that he so badly didnt want to lose!

@@whitefreeman5798 I did many times.
If driving to the hospital is the fastest way to get an injured person medical care, as opposed to waiting for emergency services to come to you, then it makes perfect sense to not call 911 until you’re already on the road. Why would you waste valuable time calling before you leave for the hospital, when you can make that call while you’re moving and let them know what’s going on.
Absolutely
Those internet searches and the _coincidental_ malfunctioning of the barn's cameras allegedly "caused by his cat" are indicative of his guilt for starters.
@@rௐணThere's no evidence that he was the one who did the searches since everyone in the family used the device. As for the cameras, they weren't working for about two weeks before the incident, not just on the material day, and the explanation he gave seems plausible to me.

I honestly don’t know about this one but usually in the 911 call you can tell but in this one Todd sounded real and as far as him taking her into ER that was faster than waiting for an ambulance.
I agree. That phone call sounded legit
I don't think it sounds great for him personally, it makes me hesitant to defend him, but regardless that isn't what guiltiness is based on and they didn't prove anything. I don't understand how he was convicted
@@no_peace I know what you mean. Realistically it doesn’t seem like an accident, so who had a motive? Her record of committing adultery could of pushed him over the edge. The literature looked up on the internet was not good. I’m going to watch this again I think.
In rural areas you throw people in a truck first and call 911 on the way. Its much much faster and then generally you meet an ambulance. Thats normal even back in the day before cell phones only difference you drove or flew to the hospital.
I absolutely agree not to mention a lot of times in the country paramedics & firefighters are volunteer and can be very slow or not the rite fit for the job,
She wasn’t afraid of him enough to have multiple affairs. They could have very well of sent an innocent man to jail.
Multiple affairs might make one numb or cold too
@@jaysleeper264 But if she has become cold, she hardly needed another affair.
Exactly
Given that she was extremely paranoid about him finding out (evident by her telling literally everybody), the internet searches can be explained perfectly by her own sense of guilt and paranoia. The cameras weren't working for weeks. Where is a single piece of even circumstantial evidence?
excellent insight!
i think youtube comments here would be of better use than his attorney.
That is what i thought,too.
The CPR did it for me too.
The fact that the jurors convicted on personal feelings is just wild
casey anthony was more guilty. and walked. but i really think Todd hated her after her affairs. their marriage was over a long time ago. he tried to control her, and she relapsed. victims of DV are afraid to leave, to divorce. both adults were messed up. he couldve save his children by not killing THEIR mom.
In France, it's common. It happens all the time.

She relapsed?😂😂😂 I didn't know that this is the name for unfaithfull woman,for s..t who is s....ng around 🤔🙄🤨
he did it
I have a very close friend who was going through marital problems like most people but last summer he tripped while working in his yard and fell full body force on garden sheers and they punctured his chest and missed his heart by three centimeters ! He almost died that day I'm glad he's alive and was able to tell his story

That’s a case where I don’t understand how anyone would not see reasonable doubt. There is no way in my eyes they proved that the husband did it,
There is a lot of doubt in my mind. Internet search: could have been done by the actual cheating wife.
Living at a far away farm, I , as well, would have take my close one and make a call from the car , to speed up the rode to the hospital. In highly stressful situations, human beings often make illogical decisions.
Have to agree.
I also think they twisted the son's words. If someone goes to the restroom, or for water, as he did, you don't see the other person during that time, but you would notice if they took longer than usual.. The narrator even said there was not enough time for dad to get there and back. This was not brought out at trial. Sad.
Circumstantial evidence determined his fate, and there was a lot of it. 😢 So incredibly sad for everyone, especially the poor kids.
Exactly. Insane.
I don't think it matters whether he did it or not given the information, they didn't and cannot prove it
People in the country don't always call 911. My uncle held his leg together in the back of a pickup on the way to the hospital. My cousin got burned terribly and took himself to urgent care. He then went home in agony to heal for weeks AMA. Accidents happen on farms. This is a crazy verdict.
This is so true! I have heard countless stories. Women in advanced labor driving themselves to the hospital. A hunter who shot his friend with an arrow in the abdomen and hauled him in in the bed of a pickup. A woman whose husband cut off 3 fingers with a saw and she dropped him off at the clinic and went to her hair appointment.
It’s often hard for responders to even find places out in the country
It doesn’t even have to be someone in the country. I never go to the doctor or ER unless I have to. I am a federal worker and it is too expensive to do anything unless you have to.
My dad cut off two of his fingers. He wrapped it and jumped into the car and drove to the hospital, ambulances take time especially in rural areas.
Great point! Country people pride themselves on self sufficiency
There is little to no evidence that Todd did this.
As SOON as the son said she was having dizzy spells that day I immediately put together what could have happened and it baffles me that nobody thought of this.
This could have easily been accidental.
Ex: she went into the red shed, while trying to get the cat box she got dizzy and fell on the corn rake, tried to pick herself up but fell again.
Also, if she would have been “hit” 3 times wouldn’t we have 12 stab wounds? Instead of 6?
Also, I think the friends are exaggerating a little. You can never rely on word of mouth, people like to twist things around to make it fit.
I think she was cheating, looked up what happens to cheating wives.
This whole case is a joke.
I thought of her falling a second time, too.
LOL, your insanely far-fetched theory reminds me of "The Staircase," where the murderer's defense attorneys claimed that she had several slashes on the back of her head because she slipped and fell backward on the stairs, slashed her head open on the corner of the doorframe and bled everywhere, then got up and slipped in her own pool of blood, falling backward and slashing her head again on the doorframe, creating an even bigger pool of blood, which she stood up in and slipped and fell backward again, slashing her head of the corner of the doorframe an unbelievable third time!
accidentally
@@flt528 It's not far fetched at all. If she was attacked the wounds are just as confounding. The problem with "sleuths" like yourself is you never actually look at fatal injuries critically when there's absolutely no suspicion of foul play (maybe several witnesses or zero opportunity for foul play). What you'd find if you did this is that, unless you have a second by second video of how someone got injured, many injuries would be hard to explain after the fact.
@escapewithsarah9566 Son is protecting his father for sure. It's a made up story. The way the rake was in her body. Seriously he committed the crime
My thoughts exactly, especially about falling again back onto the rake.
I am so glad im not the only one thinking that this was unfair. I had a newborn son and one day i woke up at like 4am and went to check on him and i didnt hear or feel him breathing. I literally rushed him to the hospital. Im not waiting for 911, ambulance its faster for me to I didnt even call police. What todd did Was better then me. He called WHILE he was attempting CPR....he deserves a new trial and lawyers
"We found him guilty beyond reasonable doubt because we couldn't explain how else she might have died." What a sense of duty! This trial is flawed in its entirety. The jury did not understand that putting a possibly innocent man behind bars for life is far worse than letting a criminal out.
Exactly! They don't understand how it works. They have to prove he did it....not could she have died another way? This is such a ridiculous trial.
my exact thoughts.
and at the end the kids dont have a father either 🤦♀
This is what happens when the jury is not informed by the court what their job is and how the law works. It's reasonable doubt - it's not CSI where there has to be proof. He did not get a fair trial in my book, especially his attorney telling the jury Amy was murdered case in point.
I cringed when he said that like what!! Evidence doesn’t even conclude that why put that in jury’s mind
Ex lover claims “she was afraid of her husband”, apparently not afraid enough to stop cheating on him. 🙄
I know right. Female and their love of penises
Exactly!
For all I know, it could’ve been the lover.
Maybe she pretended to be sick to go and meet him, and then they had a disagreement because obviously she wanted to marry him but he wanted to break up, and he stabbed her with a fork...
While the poor husband was unsuspectingly working in the farm.
Wats cheating on her husband got to do with fear of him? All spouses are afraid of cheating but still do
True that
It could have been an accident.
My great grandmother had a brain aneurysm while gardening and feel on a rake. Unfortunately, it stabbed her in the neck. My uncle had just arrived home and found her and thought someone murdered her. Very sad case
when was that?
So sorry for your loss m
Omg that horrible 😢
I’m not convinced he is guilty beyond reasonable doubt. His lawyer messed him up big time.

They system needs an overhaul that respects jurors time and costs.
I sooooo agree!!!
@Tentin Quarantino Where I live, we receive fully paid holidays, illness and jury duty time. We also have paid time off in the case of death of a family member. I've served on a jury. 8 of us had full time jobs and University degrees. We were all paid expenses for travel to and from court. We were given healthy lunches and snacks for breaks. That ensures a good and efficient jury, with nobody being disadvantaged by serving. Even the 2 smokers had a special room to use. I see it as my duty to serve on juries, if called.
I believe there is a reasonable chance that he’s not guilty

I don’t believe he killed her, I believe it was an accident that she fell.
@@yvie9627 yeah…😟 it seems like it could have been.
I agree with you 💯. Unfortunately, a lawyer can sleep through 25% of a trial and STILL somehow be deemed "effective" by an appeals court (and yes, that was a real case). For anyone interested, look up "ineffective assistance of counsel appeals" to check out just how difficult it is to prove that counsel was ineffective. For every 1,000 appeals, maybe it gets proven one time. Absurd.
My first question, if you were worried about your wife, why would you ask her to make any extra trips on the way to the house at all? Especially something so easy for you or your son to do? Why would you put her in danger at all. She should have been going straight to the house. And, why would you send your son to check on your mom if you didn't see the pet carrier? Wouldn't you say something like, "looks like mom forgot carrier, can you go get it". Why would you say, check on mom if you had given her the option to even get the carrier. If it does seem right. It's not. Jury was correct.
he killed her
By the end of most of these cases, I’m happy to see justice served. This case leaves a lot of questions and I’m not confident the jury got this one right 😢
I feel like everyone on the jury forgot their objective. "GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT". EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER has their doubts on this case.
It very well could be that he killed her, but the only question a jury needs to answer time and time again is, "IS HE GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT?"
I swear even the judge forgot. It's not about justice, it's not about revenge, it's not even about doing the right thing, it's about preventing sending someone who MIGHT be innocent to jail. Not about finding justice for her "killer" if there even was one. Does all the evidence point to this man being a murderer? Maybe a little? But not all? Then don't send him to jail.

I watched the entire trial. I think when she fell, by reflex she attempted to get up and then fell again. The prosecutor also accused him of saying something derogatory to her while performing CPR and having 911 on the line. I listened to the recording manny times and could not come close to that accusation. I couldn’t vote him guilty if I was on the jury.
ditto
Moi aussi!
I think so too, she fell and then tried to push up and fell back on the fork. Other scratches came from the fall.
It was odd to me when he became frustrated I think while doing CPR and sorta yelled at her to breathe, but I think it was his way of processing she just wasn’t going to be resuscitated and he was upset. Being mad at a loved one for leaving you is a normal part of grieving. I’m not taking up for this guy because this one has me perplexed but I sorta don’t think this was an accident.
@@janicescott7338 he's a good act, but I believe he planned and executed this, because he didn't want to lose the farm. He will reap what he sowed.
What I find baffling is that there was no blood splatter found , neither on the husband or where the wife was found. In my view you can’t brutally impale someone and there be no trace on you whatsoever. Just doesnt make sense
what also doesn't make sense to me is, if she stumbled and the rake came through her back, why was she laying on her front? And why six holes, not four? Really sounds like someone attacked her from behind, and clearly the dad had an alibi with the son...
Agreed 💯

You got hoodwinked. He's guilty as sin.
I had a loved one pass away many years ago by falling on a object impaling them, and getting up to go get help, and immediately falling again. Impaling them again. Was on security footage. I immediately thought of this when hearing this case.
What a shame the cameras in this case were only operational the next day..
That's what I think happened.
It’s what I thought straight away
That crazy! I'm so sorry for your loss.
@@tiffanym4202 me too! Enough doubt.
I can’t believe the nail in the coffin was him not calling 911 and internet searches. I live in a very rural area and the nearest hospital is 40 minutes away. It’s extremely common for people in rural areas to either not call 911 and transport the injured person themselves, or call 911 on their way. We’ve had to call an ambulance before and it took them almost as long to get to our home than it did had we just drove them ourselves.
The internet searches could have been made by anybody, especially the man she was cheating with being he worked there and probably had access to their computers. Idk if the husband did it, but they certainly shouldn’t have found him guilty. They did not prove him guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
and what man uses pinterest to search information? most of use don't even know that that app exists.
todds house was 12 min away from the hospital.
That’s how some people do things, they don’t wait they act. He acted. What I would want in an emergency too if I were hurt, unless of course it’s a neck or back injury then it’s best to not move the person until help arrives.
The one juror said he was trying to get her away from the crime scene/farm. That’s based on an assumption, and is not enough to convict someone.
It actually makes a lot of sense for someone living rurally but 12 minutes from the hospital to rush to the hospital (i.e. assured medical attention in 12 minutes) than to risk waiting for emergency response that may be dispatched from further away.
Depending on the situation calling on the way is your best bet if you need immediate help. It's fairly common in rural areas to do that. You can meet EMTs halfway but people should know not to remove objects if stabbed. In the moment he might not have realized it would slow her bleeding and ideally should've left the rake in her and put her in the car. Then drove while calling 911 on the way.
She was probably worried about him finding out and was searching "what happens to cheating wives". Why would you even search that if you're the husband? Not how to clean blood? Or Farm Accidents? She was even searching for wedding dresses, as if the guy she was cheating with was actually going to leave his family.
Imagine you find out your wife is looking for wedding dresses. Ugh
If some of these women put the same effort that they waste on another man that most likely isn't even serious, back into their marriages instead of humiliating and hurting their husbands, they would end up alive, and most likely better off cuz. that is all he really wants after getting over the forgiving part ...
Great point. Unbelievable how they found him guilty.
Why would he use Pinterest?
As a mental health blogger, a fan of true crime, and a naturally curious person, I wonder what my search history would reveal if used in court. I'd probably be convicted if something happened to someone close to me
mental health blogger?
pretty sure you wouldnt be searching that crap a day before someone is murdered
😂😂😂
Same
Me too
But can you honestly say you’ve googled things like that? Especially around the time someone close to you dies in a mysterious circumstance.
Any how to’s is very suspicious to me. I didn’t hear any here but for other cases.
I’ve googled definitions of certain words or the legal terms. Never anything about death or killing.
The jury decided he must be guilty because they could not think of a more likely scenario? F’n terrifying.
Right??! That's what I was thinking. That's not how this works people....man the guy's face when they said guilty too. You could tell he wasn't expecting that and I don't think he should have been because I think it's most LIKELY that he didn't do it.
NO. There was Enough Circumstantial Evidence to convict him.
*The Jury went by the Evidence presented:*
(1) *His Son did not know how much time he spent away from his Dad* when he went away a couple times.
(2) *Todd did Online Searches on what to do with a Cheating Wife.*
(3) He *sent the Son directly to the Red Barn* like he knew she was in there.

Yes, by the end of this episode, I didn't feel he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, like I do with most of these cases.

I’ve been a juror and some of the conclusions the other jurors come up with where based off personal feelings and/or their religion. Not to mention if you end up with a group of jurors who cannot interpret the law, innocent people will be convicted and guilty people will walk free. Some people would rather convict than potentially let a guilty person go. It’s terrifying. Someone’s fate really comes down to that.
There needs to be a vetting process for who can or cannot be on a jury, like a test or something, as it involves people's lives.

The son’s testimony alone provides a substantial amount of reasonable doubt. The jury should have acquitted this man.
What did him in was the Google searches, as well as his silly explanation of saying the cameras were knocked over because of the cats.
Also, anyone with half a brain should know you never remove a punctured object from a person, as that can worsen the injury and cause more bleeding.
They also moved her in general, which is also a bad idea. You don’t ever move an injured person as that too can worsen their condition.

I live in a small town you can get most anywhere in 15 minutes, the ambulance took closer to an hour to get to us. I spent the whole time trying to get my husband in the car because I knew I could be faster.

Especially in rural areas. An ambulance can take up to an hour for them to get there. You could be at the hospital by then.
He was racing her to the hospital and even pulled over to administer CPR, he was even frantic (for real) on the phone. I think he is innocent. They said she had 6 puncture wounds but if he did it wouldn't she have eight? It seems like she fell on it, tried to lift herself up and fell again. I can see her trying to roll over on her side instead of just lifting herself up, was able to get 2 of them out but because she was so weak she fell again and made 2 new holes. I think they got this one wrong
yes just based on that 911 call, i think he is innocent, probably his son did it

I also live in a very rural area. I've called the police when I saw a woman being beaten by her drug addicted, adult granddaughter. The police called me an two hours later wanting to know if the victim and abuser were still across the street! When I said no, he wanted to know where I thought they were! My sister-in-law fell straight back, hitting her head on our tile kitchen floor due to a seizure. She was unconscious. It took the ambulance almost 30 minutes to reach our house. Then they almost refused to take her to the hospital because she knew her name and who the president was. If someone lives in a rural area, we know we have to take action, not depend on emergency services to come to us. This man deserves a new trial for many reasons, not the flimsy issue of when he called 911 and the fact his son didn't see him for a few minutes while getting a drink in a different area of the barn.
He just wanted to get her to the closest hospital as he could, not wait an hour+ for an ambulance to get there. As for not callin 911 asap, he was probably in shock!

There is NOTHING wrong with setting the terms for reconciliation after an affair.
Telling her that if she wants to reconcile, she needs to leave her job (likely where the affair started), that’s 100 percent fine.
She could’ve left, which would’ve been fine, but she decided those terms were acceptable. Therefore she was not “forced”. Those are called consequences.
Again, when you cheat you lose all bargaining power if reconciliation is what you really want. People honestly shouldn’t even give cheaters second chances

If there is “evidence enough to arrest a person, the “interrogation “ is a non issue.” I am very pro law and order, but I see many cases where people are convicted and I feel there was not ample evidence to convict them “beyond all reasonable doubt.” One man’s opinion.
I believe there was reasonable doubt. I can think of a few other people who might want to hurt her. And even without those people I still think there was reasonable doubt. As for him not calling 911, I live in a rural area. It is faster to throw a person in a truck to take to the hospital instead of waiting on volunteers ambulance people. In rural areas it can take 45 minutes or longer to round up and get a volunteer crew out to a scene in my rural community. It seems like the jury decided they couldn't come up with another explanation so it must have been him vs did the prosecutor prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Based off what I saw here and heard from the jury...I would not have voted to convict.
This is a 40 minute show. The jury heard evidence for a week of full days. It is not what one wants to believe, but likely true.
The extra prong wounds?
The muttered words
His google searches
And he was known
As very jealous and controlling
Plus he had abused the poor pigs too
I watched the trial and read up on this case
An ambulance won't even be able to get back where I live because we didn't have the necessary equipment to clear huge oaks so nothing wider than a regular pick up can get down the last quarter of a mile and our neighbor lives only a 1/2 mile down the dirt road and it's a wide road but extremely bumpy and his wife had cancer and they came once and said they would not go back to that address so we have to at least get to our mailboxes at the railroad tracks and the hard road - they said that dirt road (limestone) is bad on their inside medical equipment so that's not odd to me at all but after all evidence presented I was convinced of his guilt and feel the jury got it right - he shouldn't have taken the stand and he would have had a better shot - the jurors on Anthony today's case said without his testimony they would have had reasonable doubt but the defendant can sometimes remove any reasonable doubt - maybe others wanted to hurt her but the detectives covered that angle very well - those computer searches were bazaar, Amy was curious how cheaters were dealt with in the middle ages? I doubt it and I doubt their children would search those subjects - the man is a control freak sorta like Anthony Todt
@@lovepet4565 I agree 💯
Then if you were on the jury you would have let a murderer go free... I hope you never serve on a jury.... We have enough murderers walking around amongst us as it is
I’m also glad to see many other people feeling the same way as I do as far as him being innocent.
Not really innocent...but there is highly significant probable reasonable doubt
The Man is guilty as charged he deserves everything… i’ve got no sympathy for husband killers or even wife killers the man is guilty as charged and he should Rote in jail where he belongs
100% innocent. The evidence points to a freak accident.
I think as a former police officer that to be able to find him guilty is rediculous. In that short of a time he didn’t have one spot of blood or dna on him. There wasn’t enough time for him to change or clean up. Juries suck
Lmao as a former police officer you think it should be up to one person or whatever and only those people who know the law and/or have their interest and use it in their favor? Yikes
Shouldn't he have had blood on him from doing cpr on her?
Glad you are former cop. Yikes!
There should be blood on him and DNA since he carried her out and into the car.
If he didn't have blood/dna on him, and he claims he did cpr, that is a bit sus.@@bowlchamps37
Two different people in the relationship and so different a perspective on the relationship!
Brutal. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a case with more reasonable doubt. Even the supposed motive was super weak. This women cheated on this guy a million times and he took her back, yet THIS time he was going to lose the farm. Lol she was afraid of him? Yet did he ever abuse her or do wrong by her? I think most women would be afraid if they are cheating on their husbands religiously. And by afraid I mean afraid of being caught.
Very good points. If she had reason to fear him then why would she provoke him by cheating? That doesn't seem logical. I've never heard of a woman in a relationship with an abusive man go off and cheat on him. Violent people are already provoked by so much less.
I wish some great defense attorney would help him get an appeal and represent him!!💕🤞🏽This is so unfair😔
He or his family need to contact the innocence project.This is what they do period help innocent people get out of jbill period prayers and I wish him the best
I hope I am NEVER in a position whereby my destiny lies in the hands of jurors. They havent got a single clue about how you'd naturally react in those rare and heinous times that some of us encounter... I've been on a jury once and honest to goodness, people really ought to have an IQ/EQ test before selection. 🤦♀️
Definitely! If Casey and OJ got off.. but yet there are hundreds if not thousands of innocent people that get charged and convicted all over the country every year. It’s scary! But that’s also why you want the very best lawyer you can get if you’re ever in a horrible situation and you’re 100% innocent. I don’t know if he’s innocent or not but he definitely deserves a new trial.
I thought his peers would have some experience of farm life. So many of those circumstances are completely normal. The jury wanted a CSI experience; recordings, DNA. Their accesment that waiting 17 to 23 minutes for EMS rather than driving half way isn't proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
💯agreed. His lawyers should of talked him into a bench trial especially since there wasn’t enough evidence.
I could not agree with you more. It is terrifying. Thankfully, a defendant can always choose a judge to decide his/her fate instead of a jury. Judges were criminal lawyers and criminal lawyers know the law. If I were innocent, and yet there was evidence that I was not a likable person: eg. there was evidence that I was jealous, controlling, adulterous or [insert all personality flaws] I would DEFINITELY choose a judge and NOT a jury. Juries are overly swayed by their likes/dislikes of the defendant and irrelevant character evidence.
It’s a myth that IQ equates to competency…. It’s why we have so many with learning disabilities, autism and other disabilities in the criminal justice system to be found “competent” . They don’t take into consideration neurobehavioral issues or problem solving, etc. You can have an autistic person with a high IQ still get in a car with a stranger. Yet they can be labeled inappropriately “high functioning” because the mental health system is clueless about autism.
