Did you ever think she shot him & made him WALK to the burn pit???
It's audacious that she took out a $50,000 HELOC loan and then gave thousands of dollars to her cheap lover. She is like the most stupid older lady ever. Like super dumb. Her husband was willing to forgive her and even sleep in another room. She couldn't be bothered with getting a job and making money. Pretentious. Spoiled. Gross and ugly behavior.
Pure selfish evil
This daughter, Emily is an excellent witness giving honest testimony in a professional manner! 😊
@@grettagirl2884 ...did the other daughter,Amanda testify yet?...I can't find a feed of her?
@loriduffecy9205 She will be a witness for the defense and they haven't put on their case yet.
Melody Farris acted like a 20 something year old. Taking her little boyfriend/ side piece to one of the most special days in her daughter’s life. Who does that? She just couldn’t contain herself. She needed eyes on her.
@@Gjrdo so did he. His mistress was also a guest x
exactly
@@shazzaSheehan1965at least she was working for him. And he didn't flaunt lovers in front of his wife. you need to accept this woman is rotten to the core. EVERYTHING about her life is sh.t💩
@@shazzaSheehan1965not the same thing.
I can’t believe a mom would let her children do this. Mom is guilty.
let them do what?
Its always the spouse. Desperate attempt to evade accountability ti blame kids. I wdnt out murder past Someone messy like that. So shameful
@@jodyross6185maybe testify and go through a trial. instead of just pleading guilty. Idk that’s what I think of
Hello. Everyone is wondering how Melody managed to get her 300+ pund husband to the burn pile. Did it ever occur to anyone that he was shot AT the burn pile? Just saying 🤔
I initially thought this as well until hearing of the blood inside the house. Now I’m not to sure what happened
I just thought of that after another commenter said something similar. You won the jackpot. I think that is exactly what happened. You have to make it make sense. Now I know why she scowls.........she hates she's there, doesn't think she deserves to be. She's still a killer.
How does that explain the blood get inside the house? @@Traisie
Scott is a murderer
Thats exactly what i was thinking lol
this woman is a sociopath , she didnt care about flaunting her affairs in front of her children. Awful woman.
@@MonibooFinebean he also had an affair and she was also a guest at the wedding x
🤔@@shazzaSheehan1965
She’s grungy they went to the Hedonism Resort in Jamaica and that place is wild in every way imaginable, ya know ?
What a selfish, angry, gross monster of a lady. She treated everyone around her like garbage. She came first obviously, over everyone and everything else. She needs to spend the rest of her pathetic life behind bars where she belongs.
Mom has a lot of Gall inviting her bf to daughter’s wedding
Gall.
Never Would Have Happened !!
@@FasterFaster196 so did he. She was also at the same wedding x
Her morals are Shot to hell !!
strange giving your lovers thousands and ask your child pay back
This wicked witch brought her lover to her daughter's wedding in front of her father and then is suspected of killing him, but she decides to blame her son?!? She isn't mother of the year for sure....unless you're her daughter Amanda!💯 Also, someone needs to question Amanda!💯💯💯💯
Did Amanda testify?
@@kevwhit7058 so did he. His mistress was also there. What a family!
How DISGUSTING and WICKED point fingers at your children 👿👿👿
Where's the Last Will & Testement? Why does she think she is entitled to it? She needs a job for real. Poor Mr. Farris. I cringe thinking about what happened to him and she sits there with a scowl because she's inconvenienced by this trial, which wouldn't of happened if she weren't so greedy. IJS😊
I believe that an individual should be able to sue a lawyer who makes an allegation that isn't true.. in the defense of their client...
This daughter seems very credible to me
Agreed! She’s got a dreadful mother - poor girl!
She definitely does seem to be
She definitely does seem to be
They are stuck on how this woman got a 300lb man up the stairs and out. How does anyone know that she shot him and he didn't run up the stairs and out to try to get away from her. And she finished him out then. Isn't this a possibility?
there were no stairs. he was shot in the walkout basement. they found a bullet casing with his blood there.
Jodie Arias managed to drag Travis Alexander down a hallway, it never made sense to me how she managed to do that but yet.... she did it !!! So it is obviously not impossible !
The husband got shot in the rib, right? Did he actually die in the basement? Or did he go up the stairs himself and drop dead?????
@@boubion61 this is something I keep thinking as well. Especially with the blood droplets spaced like they were it made me think of him waking slowly up the stairs or something.
2:21:10 She could have shot him, & he was able to run out of the house and fell outside. OR she shot him outside , and drew some blood and splattered it inside to stage the scene. I dont see the big deal about how she got him out maybe he wasnt insi de. Point is, she killed that poor man.
Have to wonder what Rusty's thinking, as I'm sure he's following this trial. What a thoughtless idiot, doing that to that poor man and his family. Karma Rusty!!
Surely he will have to testify. I’m hoping he does. It will be interesting for sure.
Dear Defence attourney, while u r doing ur "jumping around," maybe see if u can jump into some empathy for a child whose fathers murder trials u r part of.
Absolutely!
I just really really like Emily.. I hope she’s healing ❤️🩹
The children have a bias against their mother that goes back at least a decade. They believe that the mom ruined their family along time ago. Lots of hearsay and speculation and no objections. The jury will have to prove that she killed her husband not that she cheated on him. It’s clear that she cheated and made selfish choices. The son stated that the mom still cooked holiday dinners and they ALL had a good time. The mom and dad decided how to run their marriage. The only suspicious things that raise eyebrows in my opinion was erasing the video in front of fire pit, and the “missing” gun.
pretrial motions stated the states case is that the affairs are relevant. so therefore all these questions are allowed. i understand how someone without legal training would feel that way. but the defense already knows what questions are going to be asked, and the judge has already allowed this line of questioning

@@anthonylewis6265Thank you for sharing your point of view. I am aware its allowed. And I am aware that the affairs are relevant, in my civil opinion it just doesnt seem effective in connecting it to murder all on its own. My comment speaks to how jurors would possibly view things. The state's witnesses have done a tremendous job. What is your legal training?
@@bearerofvictorya yeah i get what you’re saying cheating isnt murder, but the state obviously has a theory, which they would have presented in full before the court, and clearly the court has ruled they fit the rules of evidence.
as for speaking as the jury, that may be true, but understand though they have been given directions and understand they are being given a full picture and building to their theory so we don’t know yet where this goes.
my “legal training” is funny. I had a rough past and for many years I was a career criminal. I personally went through 17 different cases over an 11 year period and also many others for associates and close friends
@@anthonylewis6265 I definitely agree with everything you are saying.... experience often prepares us in "funny" ways. Be well. Thank you for your insight.
Wow this Mom is words I cant say on youtube!!
i cannot take this reporter seriously anymore after siding with the killers, the McAlberts, thinking dog bites and black eyes are from a car. CourtTV please fire her
You just walk away when it's over, you don't murder your partner. She's another greedy narcissist, a murderer. Feel so sorry for this good daughter, and the Dad.
ITS ALWAYS THE SPOUSE!
That mom is such a narcissist- I can’t even stand to watch her sit up there
Amanda, the child who knew the mother years less than all the other children by age, was the only child that supported the mother.
Amanda is the only child that has not testified thus far.
What i find really upsetting is that everyone seems to be using George's mugshot and videos from his arrest whenever they talk about him being murdered... he is the victim! Why r we using mugshots??
That mother/wife is Evil. The daughter of the victim is so honest and credible. Her loyalty lies with her father. So sad he’s gone ❤
That wife the mother looks as guilty as ever!! She even looks like a mean woman!! Very manipulative!
The basement opens into the garden. There was a door at ground level.
WTF is wrong with this judge? I heard him got impatient and admonish the prosecutors a few times already? Does he want to acquit defendant so that he can sleep with her?
Melody dragged Gary with the tractor .. strapped him up imo
So sad for this children…😢
This daughter is a grown woman. She has business opining on her mother's affair. Stop calling her a child, Julie.
No man is worth alienating ur own kids
The mom probably had hrlp from her boyfriend???
What is hrlp?
@@notnow7973 h e l p
This defense atty is hard to follow. He jumps around. Doesn't allow the answer to sit. He talks to himself "where am i going with this or next" ??
@CourtTV Please fix your title. Aggressive is the correct way to spell the word.
I really don’t know why but I don’t think the mother did it. The kids only know what their dad has told etc no one truly knows what goes on behind closed doors …and yes she had affairs….so why didn’t she kill him then? She always came back and I guess decided to do this when he’s older and his health is not good? Really makes no sense esp if she clearly knew she wasn’t or didn’t think she couldn’t get access to the money if he passed, like she did years before when she was cheating…their one son tho (Scott?) I think seems a little sus to me.
I also feel like they are setting the mom up, possibly for money.
The defense is reaching with this witness.
Is it just me!! Thinking the children seem smug , and in this situation, I'm surprised how comfortable they are giving "evidence" against there mum , sitting across from her 🤔 seems odd !!! 🤔
This girl is a ball of anxiety. Terrible how the infidelity affects people. It feels like such a betrayal.
Some people can never really heal from it.😢
Someone consider she had help. Her other daughter and son in law are up her butt. I like the experts but how can they all have the same opinion they agree with everyone. I think Melody did it because he was controlling her spending and had help if not the family perhaps her boyfriend.
Controlling her spending, yes…but she also knew she didn’t have access to the funds. So why do this to him at this time? Not when she actually had access to his funds and when she was cheating? She waited until she didn’t have access, he had health issues and getting older. Makes no sense
@@Ania-cd2sh she is the spouse she stood to regain control and she simply wanted out with divorce she looses half.
no this is wrong. she absolutely had access and was next of kin. she just wasnt on accounts anymore cause she stole
Ribs hurt, it would be hard to breath
The mom looks very sad to me this could be a vibe but it smells like BS.
Is Melody in custody? If so, since when?
Wondering the same.
She is out on bond
So I believe that
She shot him out at burn pile, blood spatter in house, would be off her clothes, bullet fell out of HER pocket
What I can't understand is: when you burn a body it has for sure a specific smell. So if there is a son who lives on the property how could he not smell it? I think it did not take 2 minutes to burn the body and the smell would not go away soon.
You are right. I haven't followed all the trial. Do we know what time he was shot/burnt? And who was at home at that exact time?
@@izabela1961 no we don't... I also have not followed the whole trial but as much I've understood he was found monthes after his disapprarance.... or am I wrong? In any case: a burning human body has to smell horrific.
@giovannachinazzo7217 he was was found the next day..she used something to mask the smell
Yes the smell of burning flesh, especially someone his size wound have been smelled from a great distance. Also it takes a very long time due to the large fat content of a body. I don’t know how the wife did it but obviously someone did.
My older friends for generations living on multiple acres kept a burn pile. I couldn't convince them they were harming themselves by stoking it with all the toxic chemicals (plastics) that constantly burned or public safety.
I'm guessing all those fumes at the Farris place which are pungant must have masked the dead body smell with likey some added animal carcasses to boot.
So many generations of rural people handled their trash this way by necessity. Many places didn't even have land fills.
Even though my friends were able to drive their bagged trash to the main street by pick up or golf cart they kept that old tradition going.
The son Chris stated that he noticed that the tractor thingy 🚜 was not in the spot that his father always left it. So I’m sure it’s being asserted that she used it to move her husband’s body to the burn pit.
I just got done watching Bridges of Madison County- their mother describes her affair that she had with Clint Eastwood’s character but the mother in the movie sacrificed her needs for her families needs. Melody is a narcissist and only cares about her self.
It amazes me how few in the public have little awareness of this.
Hey @courttv why are you showing the mom baby killer on ROKU and not this trial or the Suitcasemurder trial 😢
That mom doesn't look guilty at all! The daughter sounds like she is part of a cover-up between sister and brother. The mom looks like she is in shock over her daughter's story after all daddy had all the money! and mom was sick of their kids draining all his money. so why not get her out of the way by setting her up to collect that whole inherent. Sounds like a plotted plan. she went from crying for 2 min then stopped.
What?!
For what purpose would kids kill the dad. More importantly the moms always had affairs
INSANE take
are you insane?
@@anthonylewis6265 haha!
Is it me or does the accused lady look like she's a cast member of cats? What's happened to the area between her mouth & nose?
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I am ashamed of myself for laughing out loud💀
A smooth philtrum is associated with several genetic disorders, including fetal alcohol syndrome. But the philtrum does change with aging, making it longer and the ridges less prominent.
Is that why she has her hand at her mouth all the time, like she's trying to hide it🤔😕
@@ruthjarvis1933 cleft palette surgery?
I can 100% relate to this witness. My mom ruined my wedding as well & nobody wanted to tell me either, but in the days following I was piecing everything together. I know much goed on during the wedding & how it's easily possible to miss what's going on during
Affairs and infidelities cause so much heartache and devastation! Such a horrifically selfish act! Plus murder on top of that!? 😢😡
The fact that Melody couldn't move 300 lbs of dead weight is a red herring because no normal person can move that themselves without some type of help.
that is not a fact. go to law school please
@@13Liberty50 law school ≠ physics
@@13Liberty50 That actually is a fact though lol. I don't need a law degree to know that someone smaller than 300 pounds with no weightlifting experience cannot move a large person or object
The family own a mini tractor with a front-dumper to turn over their compost pile. Anyone who can operate the tractor can move 300 lbs, just got to get 300 lbs to the door. Pulling a blanket with the load across hard floors or a cardboard sheet across carpet with the load is doable. Once at door, use the tractor. Easy.
@@IzzyMariel gibberish = fool
I think maybe the mother poisoned the father?
It is almost like the mother can't stand the daughter.
Wow Melody looks so angry at everyone! Lol.....she doesn't like being exposed! She's also learning how three of her children felt about her and her inappropriate behaviour with her boyfriends! They obviously love their Dad! It's heartbreaking that they had to suffer the drama of their mother and then the horrible death of their Father! 😢
Hopefully she takes the stand. Otherwise it's just one sided
Just because the victim is large and the defendant is small doesn’t mean she didn’t have help. Plus there was a lot of farm equipment there which she knew how to run… maybe she shot him and then scooped him up with one of the tractor-like vehicles that were there and put him on the burn pile. 🤷♀️
One of Melody's lovers helped her! No doubt!
Not sure when the parents sex lives became the business of the children?!?
Why is mom’s infidelity more of an issue than dad’s?
@leighannmatthews7839
Probably because he was killed. Mom definitely had the motive and acted a FOOL at her daughter's wedding with her cheating on her husband with this man.
I don't understand why the daughter and her husband would just decide to take away and sell her parent's house when her Mom is still alive, and before her Mom was arrested? Just because she and her husband wanted a larger house themselves? What about her mom? What about her siblings? She just states it like it would be a normal thing to do. It sounds like the only reason why they won the lawsuit was because her Mom got arrested. That seems super cold, greedy and horrible, am I missing something?
It was their home.
@NyleveRenee wasn't it the parent's home?
Try watching the entire trial. The house was a foreclosure after the father's death.
The house was a foreclosure after Gary's death.
Okay, but does that give the daughter more of a right to it? I am really asking, not being snarky.
Sounds like he was shot at the burn pile. 😢
The daughter is an excellent witness, very genuine.
Sorry to her and her family for what happened to Mr Farris ❤😢
Why make the defendant cry when she isn’t? That’s misleading the jury
The daughter …. 🚩
She is a Daddy's girl.
I most definitely see parent alienation that happened here. It evidently worked because the children should have more love for their Mom. It's a mental tactic that a spouse uses to manipulate their children against the other parent. In this case, I most definitely see the disrespect the kids have by feeding off the Dad's insecurities
Hey look, it's Melody!
Thing is, nobody knows what that marriage was like and why this lady felt the need for other men and flaunting it but also why flaunt it at the wedding. So much more to this story. Yes on outside she had a good life but was it that good? Some women cant live without that luxury / man after so many years of living that life. You hear about it all the time. Then theres parent alienation and control on both sides. No he didnt deserve the way he died but i honestly cant make up my mind beyond reasonable doubt whether she did it or not. You cant just look at how a person looks. Love to have the behaviour panel on court TV and not these so called ‘experts’
NOTHING justifies murder! Remember?!
@@nitsirk212 totally agree but commenting thats its not an open and shut case!
If they were well off and they were. He was a high income earner. Why do they have a HELOC? Wouldn't they just have savings instead of a loan taken out against their home?
It's advantageous in lowering their tax burden.
If the defendant had no control over the accounts. then maybe that's why she was frantic to get some money back from the kids. The victim seems to have been controlling to the extreme. Money always seems to be in the mix in these murders. Mother or son Scott. Who was the evil intender?
Did anyone else notice that when rusty Barton was on the stand and asked how many hand guns he had melody winks at him. Or is it just me.?
What is so hard to understand ⁉️ she shot him in that house ‼️ made him WALK HIM SELF OUT OF THAT HOUSE ‼️‼️ and if he died in the yard. THAT IS WHERE THE ORANGE TRACTOR COMES INTO PLAY…..
SHE MADE THAT MAN WALK HIMSELF OUT OF THAT HOUSE BY GUN POINT ‼️‼️‼️
Absolutely correct!
I understand who’s on trial here, but damn these kids are freaking spoiled! How dare they think it’s okay to take wife’s finances away but grown kids can’t keep running up tab? Ridiculous!
This man is not prepared!
She is a wicked witch mother … plus having affairs in relationships disrespect her husband. And money was on her mind . If she found new love why didn’t she have him look after her ? Her new lover ? Hmmmmm very interesting family story.
A lot of doubt so far..
@anyone anyone know if they found Mr. Farris' cell phone?
Melody sounds like a slnt. when your DAUGHTER recounts her mothers loose morals with such clarity and mother doesn't care. To invite the person your having an affair with to your own childs wedding. DISGUSTING. this woman is foul. Murderer? i know nothing about the murder. is she a whre? YES. From her own daughters description. I really really dont like this woman. awful woman. and thats from her CHILDS descriptions!!!!!!
Defendant looks better with her grey vs mugshot not that it matters… anyway some ppl r so messy with their affairs. Poor kids
It might be a wig
The father practices parental alienation against the mother. And the kids were in colusion with the father. They spent money behind the mother's back. They lied to the mother. The kids are entitled brats. The father weighed 300 pounds and rhey had no aex life. The mother was at her peak and decided to get some happiness for herself.
I was sort of thinking the same thing. The dad was a workaholic, he smoked 2 to 3 packs of cigarettes a day, and he drank Mountain Dew like it was going out of style. Can you even imagine how little energy he had? What really got me, was the daughter expecting the mother to apologize to the family after making up with her husband and giving it another try. It’s really none of the kids business. They are grown and gone. Except that they keep spending and spending and spending his money. I have such mixed feelings about all of this. After hearing all of the evidence up-to-date, I’m not sure that the mother did do it. There’s definitely reasonable doubt. It’s such a shame they didn’t just file for divorce and go their separate ways. That baffles me.
@@TamiFowler1 Exactly.
@@TamiFowler1 I was thinking the same.
She needed a normal size man to lay her out at that Hedo Resort in Jamaica ! Plus all lawyers do is read they’re introverted
Hi Melody
She told Rusty horses were out she told Scott over the phone the same thing to get him to come home. Why not consider she told Gary that to get him outside to achieve her goal.
Have you all not realize that she could not have killed this man and then move him to fire pit? The kids want the money and both of parents out of the way.
Yeah freakin right. Melody did it with help from one of her boyfriends
I don’t think she did it either and not because she couldn’t move the body they lived on a farm I’m sure there were equipment that could help her move the body. But other reasons….i just don’t think she did it
I feel sorry for the daughter, the Dad leaned on her, put her in bad position
WHY people want the subscribed to monthly subscriptions with court TV when they keep pulling out of the case & talking its so frustrating
So Martha Jane and Betty Lou Who are BF's, and wasn't the neighbor who always had the best Christmas lights in "The Grinch" named Martha Jane also?? Hmmm 😮😅😂
I need to use closed captions, but unfortunately it is cut in half!
She reminds me of Jim Carrey as the grinch when she takes her hand away from her mouth
Wow in the middle of watching video removed
It's so creepy when adults call their parents, mommy or daddy..totally an American thing..so weird
@@jodyross6185 not just an American thing a Southern American thing
I find it way more common in the southern states. My family down there say “momma and daddy” I think it’s kinda cute. What I find odd is when kids call their parents by their actual names.
Daddys girls l understand, we mature and see both sides.
She knew how to drive the the farm machines. She could drive the bobcat and load Gary in the front and push him all the way to the burn pile’. Her adrenaline was that of a man twice her size. She hated him so much she could do it.
Also, when did she decide she hated him? What event went down? She could live like a queen and still pretend she had some gratitude for Gary’s hard work. Another narcissist
I hope she is convicted!
Also. Has she been out on bail all this time?
Yeah she's out on bond.
The defense is making themselves look very dumb and unprepared. Almost all the questions he’s asking are just helping the prosecution at this point
I don’t think the kids can gain more if the mom goes to prison because can’t the mom still sign over everything to the youngest child since the mom is still alive. Just wondering if mom is in prison her assets still remain her assets right?
I heard they sold everything
On cross - is this supposed affair with Garys assistant just Melody throwing shade🤔🤔
No, the other woman/secretary was on the stand today I believe. I screamed out loud when they said who she was.
Something just doesn't feel right about this case at all. I can't help feeling that this women has been framed by her family.
Yeah, this idea also crosses my mind. I don't know why, but it feels like the kids wanted their dad's money.
I wonder if she was poisoning the husband? He apparently had some type of cancer in the esophagus as well
There are sliding patio doors in the basement. I do not understand why people keep asking how the mother would get get his body up the stairs. She did not have to. She probably went and got a small tractor and pulled it up to the basement patio sliding doors. She probably called Rusty next door to help her get him on the tractor and then sent Rusty a text message later that evening that Gary is on the burnpile.
Theory: She sh*t him and he ran out the sliding glass doors in his basement bedroom and was running towards the barn where his son lived in the barn apt. to get help. Then he fell into fire and unalived--probably screaming for help.
Geez people just get a divorce
