@CourtTV I don't think the prosecution showed that Melody did it. Too much reasonable doubt. Emily at least had a payment plan in place to pay her father back. Chris and Scott used their father like a personal piggy bank, thinking they were entitled to it because they were his children. Get a job, and stop living off daddy's money,
He was shot while standing at the burn pit . Bullet left in house and blood to make out it happened indoors….no way ! He was shot and fell in the burn pile .
Are people on here, declaring she's innocent ignoring the recorded conversation between her and Rusty where she tells him that it wasn't supposed to go so far, that Gary wasn't supposed to be so badly damaged (or words to that effect).
@@mgbl2808. It’s hard to believe that she and Rusty have been stupid enough to make so many jail house recorded phone calls that can and has been used against her. If I was one of the jurors I would not appreciate being treated like I didn’t have any common sense by Rusty and Melody. Just one example. When the prosecutor asked Rusty if he loved Melody, he said he didn’t know. How many jailhouse phone calls did we and the jury listen to when Rusty ended each call with Melody with “I love you” ? Such a simple thing to have to lie about.
At first, I thought that there could be a possibility that Melody was innocent, but after listening to the States closing arguments, I realized that there were big things that I had missed during this trial, and I now totally believe that she did kill him, and I no longer think that her son had anything to do with his dads murder.
I realized it was sealed in my mind when Melody added minutes to her secret burner phone and used the card that Gary watched like a hawk …why? He was dead and would never see the alert and never did she was bold as hel!
As an investigator at both the state and local level it should be pointed out that gun shot wounds do not necessarily cause profuse bleeding outside of the body in all cases. It’s just as common for internal bleeding to cause death while the majority of blood in captured in the internal cavities. I’m surprised that the Prosecution did not cover that aspect. Maybe they did and I missed it.
I thought she said that, he should not have been in that fire pit, or something of that sort, but the way she said it, that’s when I realized she did it, plus other factors as well.
@currentconditions962 yes..she said That body shouldn't have been burned that bad or something similar, but she didn't even say he or Gary she said That Body. But early on around 2am on the 3rd she told rusty "he's on the burn pile" that was before he was known to be missing!
I think she is guilty, but so was Casey Anthony and prosecutors didn't prove to the jury. I think she forced him to the burn pile and shot him again. The shot in the basement was a warning shot. She told Rusty that that body shouldn't have been burned that bad, how would she have known how bad he should have been burned? If not guilty
I AGREE THAT HE WAS SHOT AT THE BURN PILE. SHE MAY HAVE SLIPPED SOMETHING INTO HIS FOOD SO HE WAS NOT TOTALLY 'WITH IT'. OH AND RUSTY WAS LOOKING FOR WEDDING BANDS BEFORE GARY WAS EVEN DEAD, MELODY WAS NOT EVEN SEPARATED OR DIVORCED! SHE DID THIS AND I HOPE THE JURY FOUND ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO SEE THE TRUTH.
She gave something to him, he was close to the burn pile or someone help her so she shot him and he was already sedated so he felt and couldn’t move because he was already sedated. No way to prove it bc it burns almost everything.
Standing for the jury is a show of respect and such a small show of gratitude. She is disrespectful,condescending, rude and that’s a high horse she thinks she is riding on and a long fall down.
You know I thought the same !! The least she could do was pretend like she had respect for the people that will either send her to prison or set her free. Melody acts like she’s entitled. I don’t think so and hopefully she will find out the hard way.
@@paisley1134 this woman was asked to not stand by her attorneys get it straight, her attorney communicated this to everyone in the court and the jurors. Obviously you were not listening or watching.
This is the only evidence if the call was recorded, but if Rusty was just clamied it, it would not be strong evidence as he might wants to throw her under the bus becuse the death of Gary is a night mare for Rusty as he was in relation with Melody
@@terrywilliams8585 If it was recorded, then she has to be in a prison because she either did the crime or she knew about it and did not report to the police neither reporting the missing of Mr. Gary. The question is how come Rusty changed his mind and told different things if Police faced him with the recorder? !
Lawd, yes. Those parents - especially Gary - did those middle aged sons no favors by supporting them almost to retirement age. Lazy, no incentive yet greedy, untrustworthy.
@@LynetteKelly-xn8hi Give me a break. If Scott was under suspicion at all he would have been arrested and they would be planning his trial. He was not at the house when it happened and his cell phone and a security video at his friend's lake house shows him there most of the day until Melody called him to come home because "the horses were out". I do believe that Melody if convicted will throw Rusty under the bus. Either Melody or Rusty stole the gun from Martha's house. I believe she talked to Rusty often about hating and wishing Gary dead and he had an idea she might do it. That is why when she called him and said "he is in the burn pit" all Rusty said was don't say anything else. He didn't say "Oh my God, what are you talking about"?" Do you think ole Rusty is going to spend his time visiting Melody in prison? He was seeing at least one other woman while he was having an affair with Rusty. He is in his 70's. He will want to savor what time he is left on this earth.
Ah! So she is NOT injured! That is NOT why she doesn't rise for the jury... its because her idiot lawyer doesn't want her to show respect to the jury and evidently, she agrees. I sure would rise!
@QuestionThingsUseLogic No he knew. There are 3 remaining pics - Amanda, Melody & Scott as he walks toward it to clear photos.He knew Gary was missing when he deleted them. Photo catches him walking toward it. He states this in Day 5 Chris Farris Cross Examination (14.4)
@@palafox2237 Scott had the trail camera pointed towards the neighbors not the fire pit. Melody knew about the trail camera and would have shut it off before she killed Gary at the burn pile but she wasn't worried about it because Scott used the camera to catch deer on it and it was pointed towards the neighbors property not the burn pile.
As a mother she is disgusting. sitting there cold as ice as they blame her son. That is her child! There’s ice in her veins. How..as a mother..how? I would be bawling if they were blaming my child.
I agree. I feel so sorry for Scott being her scapegoat when it's already been proven he was not even home. Plus, his mother called him to the burn pile and asked if a goat might be in the pile. She knew what was there. Like a kid that can't keep a secret!
How does she sit there with THREE children in the court room and all 3 crying from moment to moment? Her emotions were fake while there was any filming . She walked in the courthouse hall without any tears ! She is as cold as ice!
@@lorismith5369she ALSO walked fast and furious different times so don't believe she had back deformity enough to not be able to stand for the jury!! And I had NEVER seen or heard that anywhere, when that hot air defense attorney said it!!
The best defense team ever, they exposed the investigation for the mess that it was and the terrible job that has been done and perfectly exposed Scott for the disgrace and gridy son that he is , manipulative , jealous, bum who is nobody without his father’s money and never did anything by himself once in his life. He even returned from Irak with the only skill to be able to kill his dad with the help of his multiple addict brother. The audacity for any children to crucify the personal choices of their parents as a couple to live an open marriage when they don’t wanna get divorced is outrageous, their parents don’t owe them any explanations on their couple’s life their only duty is to be your parents period. No children have any right to intergere in any couple’s choice of life.
The phone call where Melody specifically said to Rusty - I can tell you that, there should not have been as much damage as there was. Rusty then says I don’t know what that means. Melody replies - that body should not have been that burned up. The State played this recording again at the beginning of closing arguments. How can anyone hear this and think she’s not guilty??!! Ask yourself, how would she know any of this if she was not the one that put Gary in the burn pile.
He didn’t go missing until the fourth. He was seen on the fourth. They found his body on the fifth. They determined his body had been on a burn pile for 24 hours so he would’ve had to been put on the burn pile on 4 July, he was found by Scott Around 1 o’clock on the fifth. so Melanie could not have done it and how in the world would’ve she got 300 pounds carried and placed a burn pile. Not quilty.
The granddaughters asked if they could spend the night on July 3. She said not tonight (which was said during the trial, that she never had told them no about spending the night before). Gary did not log in to the computer anymore since the evening of the 3rd. Melody went to the lake some time the afternoon of the 4th to celebrate with family. Apparently, the morning of the 5th, they woke up after a late evening and one granddaughter asked where Gary was. Then yes he was found on the burn pile on the 5th. Gary was not seen by anyone on the 4th. To me it sounds like he ended up on the burn pile, some time the night of the 3rd. As far as her getting him to the burn pile. Who said she had to physically get his body to the pile from the house? He could have been shot in the house but not fatally and could have run outside wounded where he died, or she could have somehow lured him to the burn pile where she shot him. At that point, she would have just used the tractor to move him. There were blood drops found in the house plus a spent gun shell. That could point to him being shot in the house or made to look like he was shot in the house to fit either scenario mentioned above. I’d still love someone to explain to me, how someone can listen to the recording I mentioned where she talks about the burnt body should not have had so much damage - please explain to me how an innocent person would know anything about the extent of damage to his burnt body, that she supposedly never even knew was in the burn pile??!! Exactly, she wouldn’t know anything about it unless she was the person who put the body there or was explicitly involved in the burning of his body.
She called Scott home. She called him to the scene of a crime. The horses weren’t out. That was a LIE. Why? The smell of bleach. A candle burning. Adding minutes on her phone. Rusty’s confession of what she said to save his own self. Unprecedented calls to the Rust on the night of the murder. Too too too many coincidences.
That would have played out well with Rusty right up until point the prosecution called the 80 year old stepmother. It then looked like a witch hunt. It was a debacle.
That phone call with her lover was the most telling and damaging. She killed him. The defense is REALLY trying, but he's a bore, and that pointy nosed hick atty is a rude bully. That phone call did her in; she SHOT and killed him. Guilty.
She said he was on the burn pile to her boyfriend. Listening to her say it so casually was a sure indication of her guilt to me. Guilty would be my verdict.
We all know damn well she did it but I can’t see them convicting her without any physical evidence against her. No gun no prints no tracks no bullets no blood tests this is messed up. Some of these investigators dropped the ball
Rusty already told the police Melody told him “he’s in the burn pile “ Rust said WHAT? Don’t tell me anything else, I don’t need to know. She got mad at him and he went back and tried to take that statement back. She also told him, “that body shouldn’t have burned as bad as it did”. BOTTOM LINE, she admitted she did it!
It was absolutely the mom and son working together that redrumed Poppa Ferris. They just can’t definitively rat the other out without implicating themselves.
I can’t imagine what it must feel like for that poor son, not only losing his father that way but to have to sit there and listen to his own mother accuse him. How would you ever get over that loss and anger.
So melody used the debit card that night to pay for minutes on her secret phone for the first time hmmm I guess she knew Gary wasn’t getting a ping that night.
Too much reasonable doubt!!!! Why would she bring the spent bullet with her if she shot him at the burn pile? Chris is the one who knew his dad was getting the burn pile ready, too many questions unanswered!!!!
@@stephaniehutchins6922 but why would she tell her boyfriend he was in the burn pile? She wouldn't know that unless she was involved or seen it happen.
Give Scott and chris a poly test. They are all about money especially Scott. DID SCOTT SHOOT HIS FATHER FROM THE BARN FROM A DISTANCE WHILE HIS FATHER WAS AT THE BURN PIT AND HIS FATHER THEN FELL IN THE BURN PIT. IN ORDER TO BLAME HIS MOTHER BECAUSE HE WANTED THE PROPERTY ETC. Melody is innocent.
How could you as a mother sit there knowing YOU killed your husband but you’re allowing your lawyer to blame your own child! SICK! Evil! Normally when u build a fire. You hangout at that fire. I believe he was standing at the fire while she shot him. The phone call was all anybody needed.
I thought of that. I think they were standing there watching the fire after he had eaten one of her 'famous cookies'. She know how long he would experience the negative effects of the poisoned cookie--before he became ill, faint and weak. She knew immediately when he was at that point. AND gave him a strong push. She could fire the gun into soft material such as a pillow that would soften the blow when it hit his chest while he was flying in the burn pile frying.
@@1Life2Live007 thats because she did not kill her husband. As a legal person in my back ground i would also be pointing my finger at Scott plus also Chris. Now after so long after one of the son’s wife have come forward to say she saw Melody with the gun that shot her husband? After six years? That should be thrown out and i hope Melody’s team pulls her to threads. The other side is trying to come up with everything and anything because they know this case does not point the finger at Melody but one or two of the boys. This case has so many holes in it looks like a sieve. I am on your side and legal team Melody.
@@DorothyMNeddermeyerPhD the bullet was found in the front stuck in a rib bone, never entered the cavity, he was never shot in the back so she could push him in the fire pit, she was not in the area…SCOTT WAS. I have a legal back ground and have listened, looked, and saw this case from start to the closing and melody’s Legal team did a fabulous work at showing all the holes in this case. Now this stupid Judge is Bias extremely Bias against Melody and her team. It stuck out from the start. He is now allowing other stuff in after case has come to the the closing arguments? Even though it shows melody at a different area, it’s not the point. Everything should be handed in at the beginning, not when a legal team thinks they don’t have enough to pin it on her, and bring in people in towards the end coming to the closing argument. It is unbelievable.
Melody the psychopath how dare you take another persons life And then try to through your children under the bus....when they made you they threw the mould away 🙄🙄
He's also very ignorant. The US is far from unique in having trial by jury. We've had it for centuries in Britain and Ireland, and it's also used in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. I would rather stand trial in any of those countries or any member state of the Council of Europe than stand trial in Georgia.
@@geoffpoole483The Romans formed their version built upon the Ancient Greek Classical Era juries of 500 500BC. Icelandic 12 man system brought by The Nordics as they also introduced to Norman France. The Norman invader Guillaume le Bâtard, introduced the system to the early medieval Angleland provinces, Engla land, from Bretagne to Grande Bretagne. Oldest known legal system, as with all matters of order, originates Mesopotamia. That defence attorney is so annoying. His faked accent and constant referencing of himself is professionally embarrassing.
I can't imagine a huge house like that for 2 people. I don't understand why people feel the need to live like that to impress people. I'm good with my one bedroom cabin at the lake. 🙂 RIP Gary ⚖ is coming.
I think Darrel Cohen is very rude. He made a very distasteful comment on Court TV with Vinnie Politan. That was very hurtful to the family members that loved Gary Farris. He shouldn’t be allowed to come back on the show🤬
@ I’m sorry I don’t remember his exact words so please don’t quote me , it was something to the effect of “they have ribs on the grill” maybe “there’s bbq on the grill” I was in shock when I heard that!! It was awful! They were on tv it was Jeff , I think that’s his name, a woman and Darrel talking to Vinnie. I was horrified
She was definitely over her marriage and didn’t want to leave the money. And yes it’s been years now but not one emotion. Every phone call or conversation she never sounded emotional or crying and saying I didn’t do this I don’t know why they think it’s me!
When Rusty admitted that Melody told him that “he’s /Gary’s in the burn pile” then tried to recant his statement IMO more or less sealed the case against her or at least it probably should more or less seal the case against her. The defense seems to be trying to make Melody the victim. The victim is Gary , not Melody or Rusty or anyone else. He’s the one that is dead.
Even if Martha Jane found out Gary was shot, and dead wouldn't necessarily cause her to stop and think about HER gun being what shot him!! After she started hearing other things of the case she was smart enough to add two and two!The defense attorney didn't need to cut Martha down,call her names!!
I loved Martha and she was so sweet and gracious. But her testimony was riddled with holes. They shouldn’t have been mean about her though. Amanda was heartbreaking and the only real leader in that family and very impartial. And majorly “therapized”. She needs strong faith with that family.
"He is in the burn pile", before she started telling everyone dad was missing. Wonder why Rusty was recording the conversation. Very incriminating though.
As far as Melody Farris being unable to move the body herself I find inaccurate. A desperate woman of any size, who had the time and fear of getting caught, can accomplish just about anything.
I have no doubt Gary was murdered. Melody had the most to gain. The victim told people he was afraid Melody was going to kill him. He never expressed fear of Scott. She planned to be alone with Gary the man she detested. Gary is deposited on the fire in any number of ways. Guilty.
I so wish you had removed bottom banner & channel ID & Gary's Pic from this live so the audience would be able to see more details of pics shown. Great job on coverage! One of the most interesting cases I have watched in the last several years although extremely heart wrenching at times. The emotions of one can not possibly be retained by your presentation and coverage. Looking forward to more on your live coverages. Salute! Hats off.
I don't think he was shot in the basement.This may sound crazy,but I think she shot him by the burn pile,placed a bullet and some blood in the basement.I say that because she wanted to make it look like Scott did,because nobody would think she was capable of dragging a man of Gary's height and weight.
But the bullet on the floor in the family room contained Gary’s skin and blood both with his DNA, positively. Plus, there was evidence. It was the exact same gun that shot both bullets.
@@candykane4271Check testimony again. No blood or tissue on that bullet. DNA only. DNA ONLY which could have gotten there a hundred different ways. It was right in front of Scott's chair. The only 38 ammo was in Scott's room. 357 will shoot 38. Scott owned 357 he reported stolen. FOIA revealed he lied, no report of stolen 357.
She’s guilty! Here’s afew examples that show her guilt. 1. The 2am phone call to Rusty to say, “he’s on the burn pile. “ this phone call happened before anyone even knew Gary was missing. 2. Rusty asking her if she cleaned the house real good. 3. Her Walmart trip the following morning to buy $450 worth of cleaning products and lying to the detective about it. 4. The talking in “code” on the jail calls. An innocent person wouldn’t need to talk in code.
If she is innocent why did she not tell the whole world Gary was on the burnpile when she told Rusty 2am on the 4th July? When her granddaughter asked where Gary was on 5th she then pretended she didn't know where he was by taking part in a search for him, until she drew attention to the burnpile leaving her son to discover his dad. Maybe she thought there was no longer any evidence but maybe she didn't care.
The issue is that the other side attorney had nothing better to bring up issues relating to affairs by Melody but did not want to discuss the affairs Gary had for years. They had no evidence what so ever. The defence is correct Melody is innocent. One or two of the boys did it because the father had stopped them bludging off of him and not working. It had to be Scott or Chris…or both.
This deceit in her character and deceiving her husband and running to a boyfriend and having a girl friend use your atm to conceal your deceit. This lady I am sure wasn’t her first time not dealing with reality and mind games. She got off on it like an addition to deceptions. Not her first rodeo.
I think she shot him - murder. I don’t think she burned his body so they won’t convict her that part.. I think someone helped her and she knew it which is why she said he was in the burn pile.
Adrenaline can do wonders at that moment you need it, like i'm 5'3 and my eldest son is 14 5 ft there's a fire a we manage to get out the refrigirator, gas range, gas tank , sofa, big cabinets etc in a limited time. I think her bf helped her. This woman is evil willing to put her son on jail just to save herself, typical narcissist.
Defence goes out of his way to explain why she doesn’t stand for the jury. This has only been mentioned because I guess her team have seen the comments on line about it and have realised it might not have been a good idea after all to advise her not to stand.
The defendant not standing for the jury wouldn't have become such an issue if she'd stood for the jury. I think the real reason why she didn't stand is because she's a snob, but the defence can't tell that to the jury.
I think it’s terrible they she doesn’t stand for the jury shows no respect and I think the attorneys are just lying about telling the jury they told her not to stand that’s ridiculous
The man is wasting his time, there was farm equipment that she knew how to use it. Or she or shot him at burn pile, most likely, she was only one home.
Well, I'm unable to see that she has been shown to be guilty. It has all been about her motives and her affairs, but nothing on how she did it. The Defense was necessary. The doubts are there. The family has been aggressive in accusing her and saying her motive is money while they could have the same motive. It has been an interesting case on the family dynamics and the father making people take sides in the parent's open marriage. However, on the actual murder, not a lot of time or evidence spent on it. Now it is up to the jury, and they have spent more time and attention on things which I have not. If she is found not guilty, she might have to share the money generously or she may not be safe.
I feel sorry for her. This life she was living with such an asshole for a husband feels like this case should be more about dv than anything. If she is truly innocent, this last 6 years plus her entire time of being married, and how awful her children are, this lady has lived a sad life. I hope she is found innocent and she can reclaim her life and hope she will be happy and move on.
She could have shot him, but not dead remember it was lodged in a rib. could have run up the stairs to get away where He fell. Because of the burned body the flesh gone not there to see any other wounds. There for the burn pile. !!!!! Burned the evidence . !!!
I feel so horrible for the 3 kids (not for Amanda). But I feel for Scott on another level. They all have lost basically both parents but Scott has the added knowledge that his own mother did something so unthinkable by trying to frame and blame him for the murder. I know families can go through fights and arguments and have many years of not speaking to each other because of a falling out, betrayal etc but this is on another level. I could never ever forgive my mom for trying to use me as the scapegoat for her crime. A mothers natural Instinct is to protect her children but this “mother” only wants to protect herself. I also have to mention, she was the biggest pot stirrer in the family, putting the kids against each other by running and telling Amanda for example that Gary is paying for this and that for Scott but won’t help you Amanda with some dental work you need. This is a disgrace. It made me think about the dynamic between my mom, my sister and myself. I know my parents have helped my younger sister but the difference is, I don’t know really much of the details because guess what?! Neither one of my parents runs to me and tells me what they have helped her with. And guess what! I don’t care because I know my sister and I both have worked hard and have good jobs - so what if our parents have helped in the past. What kind of mother keeps score on something like this and then runs and tells the other kids about it? I’ll tell you - this is the kind of mother that is jealous and angry towards her kids, towards the husband that doesn’t mind helping them and wants to drag every family member into her vile hate filled drama to make sure everyone else is as angry is she is and wants to peg certain kids against each other and against their dad to keep the turmoil and hate going. She’s just vile and this is opposite of what a mother should be. The other 3 kids see it, one kid doesn’t and I think that’s because she’s just like her mother.
Nope. I won’t ever listen to her lawyers’ closing statements. Nope. I did listen to every word of that amazing prosecution and how clever was it she opened up with that recorded phone call between Melody and Rusty? Brilliant! And if Rusty had not been in the picture at all, like they never were involved, I think the prosecution would have had a hard time proving it was her.

This is the only evidence if the call was recorded, but if Rusty was just clamied it, it would not be strong evidence as he might wants to throw her under the bus becuse the death of Gary is a night mare for Rusty as he was in relation with Melody
@@useroctober-g5e that call was recorded.
@@terrywilliams8585 If it was recorded, then she has to be in a prison because she either did the crime or she knew about it and did not report to the police neither reporting the missing of Mr. Gary. The question is how come Rusty changed his mind and told different things if Police faced him with the recorder? !
Her worst punishment are her kids.
Lawd, yes. Those parents - especially Gary - did those middle aged sons no favors by supporting them almost to retirement age. Lazy, no incentive yet greedy, untrustworthy.
Melody might have said Gary is at the burn pile 😳
@Diddoo11 When I first heard the words 'on the burn pile', my first interpretation was as in 'on the the job'.
I feel like she's watching them like she's watching a movie when she already knows what happened. Psychopath
How would you be acting up there? If your kids blamed you for something you didn’t do
How would you be acting up there? If your kids blamed you for something you didn’t do
Yep, psychopath is very accurate.
Yeah she knows SCOTT IS THE KILLER
@@LynetteKelly-xn8hi Give me a break. If Scott was under suspicion at all he would have been arrested and they would be planning his trial. He was not at the house when it happened and his cell phone and a security video at his friend's lake house shows him there most of the day until Melody called him to come home because "the horses were out". I do believe that Melody if convicted will throw Rusty under the bus. Either Melody or Rusty stole the gun from Martha's house. I believe she talked to Rusty often about hating and wishing Gary dead and he had an idea she might do it. That is why when she called him and said "he is in the burn pit" all Rusty said was don't say anything else. He didn't say "Oh my God, what are you talking about"?" Do you think ole Rusty is going to spend his time visiting Melody in prison? He was seeing at least one other woman while he was having an affair with Rusty. He is in his 70's. He will want to savor what time he is left on this earth.
No proof beyond reasonable doubt? "He is in the burn pile." In her own words. Guilty.
Ah! So she is NOT injured! That is NOT why she doesn't rise for the jury... its because her idiot lawyer doesn't want her to show respect to the jury and evidently, she agrees. I sure would rise!
I Seen her legs on Trail video .I believe she capable of putting him in the Burn pile.Or he was at the burn pile and she shot and pushed him.Guilty
Right before sonny deleted the trail cam video before LE got there.
@QuestionThingsUseLogic No he knew. There are 3 remaining pics - Amanda, Melody & Scott as he walks toward it to clear photos.He knew Gary was missing when he deleted them. Photo catches him walking toward it. He states this in Day 5 Chris Farris Cross Examination (14.4)
That video would have shown his mother doing horrible things
@patsh3714 It isn't video. You may may want to search for the Scott Farris Cross Examination video referenced to see the photographs LE saw.
@@palafox2237 Scott had the trail camera pointed towards the neighbors not the fire pit. Melody knew about the trail camera and would have shut it off before she killed Gary at the burn pile but she wasn't worried about it because Scott used the camera to catch deer on it and it was pointed towards the neighbors property not the burn pile.
As a mother she is disgusting. sitting there cold as ice as they blame her son. That is her child! There’s ice in her veins. How..as a mother..how? I would be bawling if they were blaming my child.
I agree. I feel so sorry for Scott being her scapegoat when it's already been proven he was not even home. Plus, his mother called him to the burn pile and asked if a goat might be in the pile. She knew what was there. Like a kid that can't keep a secret!
How does she sit there with THREE children in the court room and all 3 crying from moment to moment? Her emotions were fake while there was any filming . She walked in the courthouse hall without any tears ! She is as cold as ice!

@@vernareed2692absolutely !
The best defense team ever, they exposed the investigation for the mess that it was and the terrible job that has been done and perfectly exposed Scott for the disgrace and gridy son that he is , manipulative , jealous, bum who is nobody without his father’s money and never did anything by himself once in his life. He even returned from Irak with the only skill to be able to kill his dad with the help of his multiple addict brother. The audacity for any children to crucify the personal choices of their parents as a couple to live an open marriage when they don’t wanna get divorced is outrageous, their parents don’t owe them any explanations on their couple’s life their only duty is to be your parents period. No children have any right to intergere in any couple’s choice of life.
The phone call where Melody specifically said to Rusty - I can tell you that, there should not have been as much damage as there was. Rusty then says I don’t know what that means. Melody replies - that body should not have been that burned up. The State played this recording again at the beginning of closing arguments. How can anyone hear this and think she’s not guilty??!! Ask yourself, how would she know any of this if she was not the one that put Gary in the burn pile.
I agreed
I agree
He didn’t go missing until the fourth. He was seen on the fourth. They found his body on the fifth. They determined his body had been on a burn pile for 24 hours so he would’ve had to been put on the burn pile on 4 July, he was found by Scott Around 1 o’clock on the fifth. so Melanie could not have done it and how in the world would’ve she got 300 pounds carried and placed a burn pile. Not quilty.
The granddaughters asked if they could spend the night on July 3. She said not tonight (which was said during the trial, that she never had told them no about spending the night before). Gary did not log in to the computer anymore since the evening of the 3rd. Melody went to the lake some time the afternoon of the 4th to celebrate with family. Apparently, the morning of the 5th, they woke up after a late evening and one granddaughter asked where Gary was. Then yes he was found on the burn pile on the 5th. Gary was not seen by anyone on the 4th. To me it sounds like he ended up on the burn pile, some time the night of the 3rd. As far as her getting him to the burn pile. Who said she had to physically get his body to the pile from the house? He could have been shot in the house but not fatally and could have run outside wounded where he died, or she could have somehow lured him to the burn pile where she shot him. At that point, she would have just used the tractor to move him. There were blood drops found in the house plus a spent gun shell. That could point to him being shot in the house or made to look like he was shot in the house to fit either scenario mentioned above.
I’d still love someone to explain to me, how someone can listen to the recording I mentioned where she talks about the burnt body should not have had so much damage - please explain to me how an innocent person would know anything about the extent of damage to his burnt body, that she supposedly never even knew was in the burn pile??!! Exactly, she wouldn’t know anything about it unless she was the person who put the body there or was explicitly involved in the burning of his body.

Rusty already told the police Melody told him “he’s in the burn pile “ Rust said WHAT? Don’t tell me anything else, I don’t need to know.
She got mad at him and he went back and tried to take that statement back.
She also told him, “that body shouldn’t have burned as bad as it did”.

Normally when u build a fire. You hangout at that fire. I believe he was standing at the fire while she shot him.
The phone call was all anybody needed.
I thought of that. I think they were standing there watching the fire after he had eaten one of her 'famous cookies'. She know how long he would experience the negative effects of the poisoned cookie--before he became ill, faint and weak. She knew immediately when he was at that point. AND gave him a strong push. She could fire the gun into soft material such as a pillow that would soften the blow when it hit his chest while he was flying in the burn pile frying.
@@1Life2Live007 thats because she did not kill her husband. As a legal person in my back ground i would also be pointing my finger at Scott plus also Chris. Now after so long after one of the son’s wife have come forward to say she saw Melody with the gun that shot her husband? After six years? That should be thrown out and i hope Melody’s team pulls her to threads.

I think Darrel Cohen is very rude. He made a very distasteful comment on Court TV with Vinnie Politan. That was very hurtful to the family members that loved Gary Farris. He shouldn’t be allowed to come back on the show🤬
What did he say, I fast forwarded through the commentary?
Yes! What was said?
@ I’m sorry I don’t remember his exact words so please don’t quote me , it was something to the effect of “they have ribs on the grill” maybe “there’s bbq on the grill” I was in shock when I heard that!! It was awful! They were on tv it was Jeff , I think that’s his name, a woman and Darrel talking to Vinnie. I was horrified
She was definitely over her marriage and didn’t want to leave the money. And yes it’s been years now but not one emotion. Every phone call or conversation she never sounded emotional or crying and saying I didn’t do this I don’t know why they think it’s me!
Prosecution closing appeared very weak !
Glad you are showing this.
When Rusty admitted that Melody told him that “he’s /Gary’s in the burn pile” then tried to recant his statement IMO more or less sealed the case against her or at least it probably should more or less seal the case against her. The defense seems to be trying to make Melody the victim. The victim is Gary , not Melody or Rusty or anyone else. He’s the one that is dead.
Even if Martha Jane found out Gary was shot, and dead wouldn't necessarily cause her to stop and think about HER gun being what shot him!! After she started hearing other things of the case she was smart enough to add two and two!The defense attorney didn't need to cut Martha down,call her names!!
I loved Martha and she was so sweet and gracious. But her testimony was riddled with holes. They shouldn’t have been mean about her though. Amanda was heartbreaking and the only real leader in that family and very impartial. And majorly “therapized”. She needs strong faith with that family.
Amanda was a self serving liar,hiding behind religion.go listen to her phone calls with her mother, get a handle on the REAL AMANDA.
NO FAKE TEARS!!!!
She used a horse and a rope to drag him
You think she dragged him alive? That bullet wasn't lethal. If she did do it, he was shot while standing at the burn pile and fell in.
But if he fell in … wouldn’t it be a mess out there of him trying to run burned?
"He is in the burn pile", before she started telling everyone dad was missing. Wonder why Rusty was recording the conversation. Very incriminating though.
Rusty needed alibi/leverage if caught!!! Rusty did not stop her- - but does want to go down because of her either!
@@margaretsnewtoylynnparks5336good point!
As far as Melody Farris being unable to move the body herself I find inaccurate. A desperate woman of any size, who had the time and fear of getting caught, can accomplish just about anything.
I have no doubt Gary was murdered. Melody had the most to gain. The victim told people he was afraid Melody was going to kill him. He never expressed fear of Scott. She planned to be alone with Gary the man she detested. Gary is deposited on the fire in any number of ways. Guilty.
U r delusional
Wait, sorry..read that wrong! Ur right
I don’t think they proved she’s guilty.
With Scott, her son, it became almost impossible
Reasonable doubt. The State failed to make it's case. Major flaws.
I agree. She may be guilty but not enough proof. Too much missing .
She planned to have it look like an accident. The body was not suppose to burn as much. Plan B was to blame Scott.
A little exaggeration moving the bags oh please Mr defence it’s a show you yourself are putting on !
That was embarrassing. Slaphead would have been better off referring to an NFL player who weighed around 300lbs.
She and Scott may be guilty but I just don't think there's enough evidence to convict...⚖️

Exactly 💯 Cannon K..totally agree with you-Sir
I don't think he was shot in the basement.This may sound crazy,but I think she shot him by the burn pile,placed a bullet and some blood in the basement.I say that because she wanted to make it look like Scott did,because nobody would think she was capable of dragging a man of Gary's height and weight.
Melody probably knew Gary was going to the burn pit. She followed him and shot him right there....
But the bullet on the floor in the family room contained Gary’s skin and blood both with his DNA, positively. Plus, there was evidence. It was the exact same gun that shot both bullets.
@@candykane4271Check testimony again. No blood or tissue on that bullet. DNA only. DNA ONLY which could have gotten there a hundred different ways. It was right in front of Scott's chair.

She’s guilty! Here’s afew examples that show her guilt.
1. The 2am phone call to Rusty to say, “he’s on the burn pile. “ this phone call happened before anyone even knew Gary was missing.
2. Rusty asking her if she cleaned the house real good.
3. Her Walmart trip the following morning to buy $450 worth of cleaning products and lying to the detective about it.
4. The talking in “code” on the jail calls. An innocent person wouldn’t need to talk in code.

@@patsh3714 Ransacked? The receipt showed 11k still in the checking account.

This woman killed her husband!!! PERIODT!!! SHE HAD HELP CARING HIM. THE NEIGHBOR!!!
I always thought it was the neighbor too...he was sketch...😮
If she is innocent why did she not tell the whole world Gary was on the burnpile when she told Rusty 2am on the 4th July? When her granddaughter asked where Gary was on 5th she then pretended she didn't know where he was by taking part in a search for him, until she drew attention to the burnpile leaving her son to discover his dad. Maybe she thought there was no longer any evidence but maybe she didn't care.
I think he was shot by Melody & one of the sons disposed the body & there was a falling out where the plan didn't go well
Although she is not a very nice person, I hope they get the right person, in the end.the entire family is suffering and they need closure
Not guilty!!!!!!
The issue is that the other side attorney had nothing better to bring up issues relating to affairs by Melody but did not want to discuss the affairs Gary had for years. They had no evidence what so ever. The defence is correct Melody is innocent. One or two of the boys did it because the father had stopped them bludging off of him and not working. It had to be Scott or Chris…or both.
Agree mother is innocent I beleive scott is guilty
I agree with you 100%
Just too much speculation equals reasonable doubt
This deceit in her character and deceiving her husband and running to a boyfriend and having a girl friend use your atm to conceal your deceit. This lady I am sure wasn’t her first time not dealing with reality and mind games. She got off on it like an addition to deceptions. Not her first rodeo.
GUILTY
She did it. Guilty !! Used a horse to move him
No evidence pointed that - plus you just can't use a horse to drag a dead body. The horse will have none of that.
I think she shot him - murder. I don’t think she burned his body so they won’t convict her that part.. I think someone helped her and she knew it which is why she said he was in the burn pile.
It infuriates me when an attorney wants to change medical forensic procedures
It doesn't matter what your opinion is, the fact remains that the prosecution have not proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Obviously they did!!!!
Adrenaline can do wonders at that moment you need it, like i'm 5'3 and my eldest son is 14 5 ft there's a fire a we manage to get out the refrigirator, gas range, gas tank , sofa, big cabinets etc in a limited time. I think her bf helped her. This woman is evil willing to put her son on jail just to save herself, typical narcissist.
Defence goes out of his way to explain why she doesn’t stand for the jury. This has only been mentioned because I guess her team have seen the comments on line about it and have realised it might not have been a good idea after all to advise her not to stand.
The defendant not standing for the jury wouldn't have become such an issue if she'd stood for the jury. I think the real reason why she didn't stand is because she's a snob, but the defence can't tell that to the jury.
I think it’s terrible they she doesn’t stand for the jury shows no respect and I think the attorneys are just lying about telling the jury they told her not to stand that’s ridiculous
The man is wasting his time, there was farm equipment that she knew how to use it. Or she or shot him at burn pile, most likely, she was only one home.
I ALSO WONDER IF GARY WAS STILL ALIVE WHEN HE WAS PUT IN THE BURN PILE
Not. He was shot in the house before someone who put Gary in the burn pile.
I think she shot him , he ran away and oops fell in fire .. huhhhhhh !! Rough way to go
Oops. Your guess is in correct
The medical examiner already said Gary was already shot and dead before someone put him in the fire pit.
Those kids didn’t want their father dead.He financed them.Sges the only one who stood to gain$
Well, I'm unable to see that she has been shown to be guilty. It has all been about her motives and her affairs, but nothing on how she did it. The Defense was necessary. The doubts are there. The family has been aggressive in accusing her and saying her motive is money while they could have the same motive.
It has been an interesting case on the family dynamics and the father making people take sides in the parent's open marriage. However, on the actual murder, not a lot of time or evidence spent on it. Now it is up to the jury, and they have spent more time and attention on things which I have not.
If she is found not guilty, she might have to share the money generously or she may not be safe.
Not guilty
The defense was awful and theatrical
He didn’t have much to work with.
...and unfortunately, Scott on the stand was pretty bad.
Oh I agree that each time was bad
Said horses were out so she could have with help pulshot him in house and Mr Farris ran down the to the waiting horse downstairs
A total disgrace
I feel sorry for her. This life she was living with such an asshole for a husband feels like this case should be more about dv than anything. If she is truly innocent, this last 6 years plus her entire time of being married, and how awful her children are, this lady has lived a sad life. I hope she is found innocent and she can reclaim her life and hope she will be happy and move on.
The defense lead lawyer is extraordinary in delivering a masterful closing. Reasonable doubt has been established. Scott needs to be reinvestigated...
Agree she is innocent SCOTT SHOULD BE REINVESTIGATED I BELEIVE HE IS THE MURDERER
She shot him at the burn pile. She did not drag his body anywhere. GUILTY!
She could have shot him, but not dead remember it was lodged in a rib. could have run up the stairs to get away where
He fell. Because of the burned body the flesh gone not there to see any other wounds. There for the burn pile. !!!!! Burned the evidence . !!!
Sure makes a person appreciate their own family. What a warped family this is!
Isn't that the truth! Blessed!!
I feel so horrible for the 3 kids (not for Amanda). But I feel for Scott on another level. They all have lost basically both parents but Scott has the added knowledge that his own mother did something so unthinkable by trying to frame and blame him for the murder. I know families can go through fights and arguments and have many years of not speaking to each other because of a falling out, betrayal etc but this is on another level. I could never ever forgive my mom for trying to use me as the scapegoat for her crime. A mothers natural
Instinct is to protect her children but this “mother” only wants to protect herself.
I also have to mention, she was the biggest pot stirrer in the family, putting the kids against each other by running and telling Amanda for example that Gary is paying for this and that for Scott but won’t help you Amanda with some dental work you need. This is a disgrace. It made me think about the dynamic between my mom, my sister and myself. I know my parents have helped my younger sister but the difference is, I don’t know really much of the details because guess what?! Neither one of my parents runs to me and tells me what they have helped her with. And guess what! I don’t care because I know my sister and I both have worked hard and have good jobs - so what if our parents have helped in the past. What kind of mother keeps score on something like this and then runs and tells the other kids about it? I’ll tell you - this is the kind of mother that is jealous and angry towards her kids, towards the husband that doesn’t mind helping them and wants to drag every family member into her vile hate filled drama to make sure everyone else is as angry is she is and wants to peg certain kids against each other and against their dad to keep the turmoil and hate going. She’s just vile and this is opposite of what a mother should be. The other 3 kids see it, one kid doesn’t and I think that’s because she’s just like her mother.
Nope. I won’t ever listen to her lawyers’ closing statements. Nope.
I did listen to every word of that amazing prosecution and how clever was it she opened up with that recorded phone call between Melody and Rusty?
Brilliant! And if Rusty had not been in the picture at all, like they never were involved, I think the prosecution would have had a hard time proving it was her.
I think the defense did an outstanding job and really care for Melody and her innocence
Did any of the family take lie detector tests????
Yes scott failed it
Yes, Scott, and he failed it! Melody agreed to take one and they wouldn’t give her one.
That is bs not rising when the jury enters. Poor advice from her counsel.
Scott is the one that should be in the Hot Seat, not Melody...
