My theory is that between the ex-husband and the homeless man, only one man had something to gain from Kathryn's death. Hubert not only got the life insurance but all Kathryn's assets as well. He exacted revenge on the abuse victim who stood up and left him. Top it off with this; she refused to "submit sexually" to him, so he ensured that she was humiliated and made to pay for that. He instructed the rape along with murder, and that's why he already knew it had happened before the cops revealed it. Busey, on the other hand, was a career BURGULAR, and he didn’t even steal anything!!! He had absolutely nothing to gain from Kathryn's death except the money Hubert Hauser offered him or whatever threats or promises were made. It’s a shame they couldn't dig deeper to find a connection between Busey and Hauser to prove conspiracy. A homeless, drug addicted man who has no pattern or history of violence; let alone rape and murder doesn’t randomly take a trip out of the city, into surburbia and commit his first murder at age 42. But it makes sense if he was acting at the behest of a disgruntled, controlling abuser.
For people like you,even wittnessing the crime first hand wouldn't convince them.There are many cases about criminals who start with burglary and end up.with murder or rape.Also,a lot of times women do not report rape.Bottom line,people like to blame the husband no matter who was the killer.
This is a very strange case. I understand that DNA doesn't lie but that soon to be ex husband saying to law enforcement interviewing him that he did not rape and murder his wife when he should not have known anything about a rape is chilling. 😮 😨 😳 Just really bizarre.
Not really, the guy was a creep and an a ole and sex was always on his mind. But being a creep does not mean he was a murderer, othewise a lot more guys would be behind bars.
There are only three reasons why he would have known that a r*** took place. 1. He was told by someone close to the investigation, 2. He did it himself or 3. He instructed someone to do it. Option two seems impossible as he knows he would have gotten caught.
After he slapped Catherine he said he admitted it to his pastor and was held accountable. If his pastor really held him accountable he would have been in anger management and the pastor also would have checked on Catherine personally.
I think Busey was a burglar and an opportunist but I didn't get a good feeling with this case. I felt that there was more to the story. To me, the husband was not a Christian. More like a controlling creep that used religion as a vehicle for his own self righteousness. He struck me as a guy who didn't believe in divorce, ever. He didn't want her to leave because he needed the $$ support & had a lot to gain from her death. Just a nasty individual.
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔 The husband may have paid Busey 😏 anything is possible these days, especially since the husband was asking so strange and nervous at work and said the police 🚓 were coming for him 👀 very interesting...
I did some work for this couple when they were still married. Kathryn was very nice and open ... until her husband came home for lunch and the atmosphere in the house ... Well, it was immediately cold and creepy ... I couldn't wait to get out of there. The creepy feeling stayed with me a long time after. When I heard about the murder I ASSUMED it was Mr. Hauser. I still can't believe he didn't have anything to do with it.
Based on him saying that he had nothing to do with her murder and rape, even tho police never mentioned the rape, I'm thinking he was involved somehow and new what was going to happen to her.

No way a random homeless guy just "happened" to know that this lady would be alone after she filed for divorce. He got his information of when she would be leaving for the day from someone that knew her. The homeless people are usually downtown not in a suburban neighborhood wandering around looking for a woman to kill. I hope more investigation is done on this case.
They did say he was supporting himself by committing robbery and the logic is that he was there to commit robbery, which finally ended in sexual assault and murder. Anything can lie, but DNA does not, so that is why i feel he was guilty.
I agree... I think Hubert Hauser paid this homeless man for his DNA and planted it. The man convicted did NOT have a history of violent crime... he only had drug and burglary charges. Why would this homeless man be randomly walking through a residential neighborhood at 7:15 am when many people are getting ready for work? Then he decides to rape and murder a woman for the first time in his life when there would be many people around leaving for work? Who robs houses in the daytime? He is a career criminal burglar and does NOT take anything from her home? Not to mention all of this happens the day before a divorce is going to be finalized? Hubert Hauser must be the luckiest man alive! His soon to be ex-wife is coincidentally and randomly murdered the day before their divorce leaving him with her $100,000 insurance policy, her 401K and all of her assets? Hubert Hauser also could not stop SMILING during the entire trial.
The only thing that baffles me is why the husband reached work in that state and told the secretary the cops are coming for him.He already knew what had happened because he mentioned rape.
Where I thought it was going was that the husband hired the defendant to murder and rape the wife. As it would explain the lack of DNA and his weird behaviour and comments.
He could have easily overheard she was raped. Hes an ass but he didnt Murder her. Busey murdered her. DNA proves rape more than a comment about rape. Id certainly not want Busey out and living next to me..
As said in this and in other shows on this, he had heard it. I seem to recall that it was all over town in fact because it had been on police radio but also overheard among officers discussing. I believe others verified that they had heard already well before police told them
He is still at fault. He abused her and made her left alone in this violent world. Imagine if he was a kind and respectful husband, they’d probably be living a good loving life. 😢
Maybe I am missing something, but I didn't see a proper investigative effort into the connection between the killer and the husband.

Exactly.... I will take it a step farther and say I don't think the man convicted was even there. I think Hubert Hauser paid the man for his DNA while the guy was on drugs.
How did he pick her house? How did he get there? Where did he go afterwards? Did he really have no contact with the husband??? 🤔😕 Like that Vegas case!!!
I know its the defense attorney's job to fight for their client and to do everything they can to keep them out of prison. But... Shes an attorney, she's an intelligent woman. She *KNOWS* her client is guilty of murder. She *KNOWS* his DNA was on the victim and the victim's blood/DNA was on her client. She *KNOWS* there is only *ONE* explanation as to why that would be. So, for her to stand there and cry over him being convicted of murder (knowing it was the correct verdict) is absolutely ridiculous, and she only made an ass of herself.
strong DNA evidence against her client, Busey; yet, she didn’t take the time to make a possible connection between Busey and the husband 🤷🏼♀️ makes me wonder if her performance was all an act.
Hubert Hauser got away with murder. A transient, drug addict was convicted of the murder, but I sincerely believe that Hubert Hauser framed the man that was convicted by planting the man's DNA at the crime scene. Watching video of the court proceedings, Hubert Hauser did not even bother to hide his sly, smug smiles when he saw he was getting away with murder... he was smiling throughout the trial. After her murder, Hubert Hauser received an insurance payout of close to $100,000, her 401K, as well as all of her assets and Kathyrn Hauser was coincidentally murdered the day before she was set to go to court to finalize their divorce. Either Hubert Hauser is the luckiest man in the world, or he is a murderer. Your soon to be ex-wife is murdered THE DAY BEFORE your divorce, which would have nullified your insurance payout? How lucky for Hubert... perhaps that is why he could not stop smiling in court? The convicted individual in question was a known drug addict. Hubert Howard could have paid the man for his semen in exchange for drugs or money. Most homeless, drug addicts would agree to a deal like that. The evidence showed that the semen present was much less than would be present for an actual sexual assault or sexual act no matter how brief. And why would a homeless person be walking through a nice, residential neighborhood early in the morning at 07:15 am, at the EXACT moment Kathryn Hauser was leaving to go to work? The man convicted of the crime, Phillip James Busey, did have a long criminal record, but actually NONE of his previous crimes involved violence or rape. All of his previous crimes involved drug charges and burglaries. Why would he beat Kathyrn Hauser over the head with a brick, rape her and then proceed to take NOTHING from her home? I thought he was a burglar? Why didn't he steal anything that day? More importantly, why would he even have interacted with Kathyrn at all if he was just in the neighborhood to rob someone? Doesn't it make more sense if you see someone leaving to go to work, to just wait for her to leave and then enter her home? Also, who robs houses at 7:15 in the morning when A LOT of people will be getting ready to go to work?
And husband could've befriended him, some DNA transferred purposefully. But how did the killer only have a speck of blood on him? If he was a drifter where did he get his change of clothing?
Yes Busey is mentally delayed (slow). I honestly don’t think he did this. (At least not on his own). I’m 100% positive the husband had something to do with this.
There is a difference between religion and Christianity. He doesn't show the love of Christ in relationship and in marriage. There is no love of Christ in the marriage at all. Christ never demands or force anyone to do anything. Submission is mean giving to one another.
That's what angers me as a Christian. People abuse that power to get what they want. I've dealt with people like that. We're taught to love others regardless and not use it for gain.
Yay am happy you are back. But I'm looking for the Linda Yancey case and I come out on the Hauser case which I've watched, why. Anyone else have the same problem.
Mazel Tov! That is so exciting! I went on this journey two years ago when I ghost-wrote a friend’s memoir. Such an amazing accomplishment…good for you! I will be buying and gifting many copies! 🙌❤️
I think it's just incredibly unusual that the police say the crime scene was so bloody because her head was wide open but this guy only had a tiny speck of blood on him?
This whole case is simply bizarre and unsettling. I believe that there is much more to this case...ex-husband ✋️ isn't clean! It's sad to hear also that after all the abuse, he has gained her assets and sued the children. A living will maybe would off helped 😢! What a bummer.

Since Busey was a transient and the husband uses his religious beliefs as shields, excuses and weapons, isn’t there a possibility that the husband obtained the DNA and planted? Could the husband have paid someone to have sex with him and collect seamen? Could Busey have found her with her head bashed in and then took her inside? Was there valuables missing? How long exactly from the screams until the cops arrived? That makes a difference. Most homeless folks I’ve seen aren’t in the best of health and couldn’t murder, strip, rape, burglarize, leave little evidence and make a clean getaway in even 10 minutes.
Hmmm your analysis certainly invites further investigation. I thought about dna plantation too. This case does not sit right. Something is missing. Secondly how did the husband know about what happened to the wife. Was this homeless man monitoring her before he attacked? How did she became the target and not the other neighbours? Why that time? Finally the person convicted did not show any emotional reaction. No objection, did not cry, did not speak. Too calm in my opinion. Another thought....could it also be that being in prison is better than being on the streets? Since prison provides shelter. I once watched a documentary where people purposely offended to get back into prison. Mind you depends on what type of prison. If the husband had nothing to do with this case...I am always thanking God for DNA which has acquitted many innocent people.
So, the defense wanted the jury to look towards the victim's estranged husband as the killer... But, do they think the fact that the victim's DNA/blood being found on the defendant's clothing, AND the defendant's DNA being found at the scene of the crime, would just be swept under the rug and ignored? DNA doesn't lie, it has no bias. There is absolutely NO innocent reason for her DNA being on him and his DNA being on her. The *ONLY* explanation is that he killed her.
Regardless of all the evidence against him, that’s precisely what they’re supposed to do. The clue is in the burden of proof which is beyond a reasonable doubt. Once there is reasonable doubt (husband had motive, abusive history, threats to kill, the wife was leaving her husband the day she was murdered, his comments on sex/servitude in the relationship, his flustered appearance at work on the day of the murder) then the jury cannot find the defendant guilty. They must be satisfied that if he is guilty that it is beyond a reasonable doubt. A lot of the factors I’ve listed above could cause reasonable doubt. The defence did a very good job at trying to convince the jury there was cause for reasonable doubt, but they weren’t good enough.
Yesss i mean no doubt the husband was a bad person but the evidence is the evidence and like you said DNA put the killer in the crime scene. The DNA belonged to the defendant not the husband. It appeared as if the defense actually believed their client didn't do it , crazy
Why did an intelligent woman sign over her retirement and name him her beneficiary for everything she owned before she was married to him 2 months?? I wonder if Busey was hired I was hoping for a hung jury, so there could be more investigation! Middle age women are in too big of hurry to marry or remarry.
The whole story is building up to her husband being charged with murder - what a letdown. The title hints at her hubby being the perpetrator, too. I guess without the suspicious husband, it would just be a not-very-interesting true crime case 👎
aren’t we great as a society - the murderer had been homeless, now he is housed and fed, doesn’t have to do his own shopping, no cooking, no doing the dishes or the laundry, not worrying about paying the electricity bill, no rent, no taxes, no medical bills, no nothing - a real win-win situation for the criminal… not sooooo much for society really…
I am sure the killer was only paid for a few pennies to comit the crime, while her husband got her insurance money and properties to remarried and continue enjoying his life.
I believe that there has to be a connection of some sort between the defendant and the ex-husband, who wreaks of motive. The whole situation seems very convenient for the ex-husband. Something is very wrong here. In any case, this man is spiritually unfit to be a husband and father. A Christian husband is supposed to emulate Christ, who is generous and loving to His Bride, the Church. He gave His life for the Church. So, a Christian husband must emulate that ideal.
Lmao. 😂 They wasted no time putting those cuffs on after hearing "guilty". The defense attorney looked at the officer like she wanted to kill him! 😂 I don't know why she was so concerned about not hearing the rest of the verdict. The moment you hear the words "guilty" and "murder" in a verdict, they know he's not going anywhere but prison.
Good thing that they kept letting him walk every time he was arrested because it was nonviolent ?? Those charges for Robbery I guess he was polite to whoever he was robbing because I have never heard of a nonviolent robbery but it could just be my crazy way of thinking lol
The right guy is on trial. Just because you were a douchebag of a husband, doesn't mean you murdered her. No connection between the two. Cops would have found a connection if it was there.
I get it , the husband was a very bad person. However the DNA collected at the scene belonged to the defendant not the husband. It appeared no murder for hire here. It is almost as if the defense believed their client didnt do it. Thats crazy to me
I think there probably should have been two people in Jail for her murder. No doubt Bussey did the crime, but the chances that he was paid to do it by the husband is pretty high imo.
I love how they disrespect the man by saying he was weird or they didn't like how rigid he was, yet they were both very religious. Feminazi comments like this need to stop about men. It is very unfair. She was a "Free spirit and independent", and he was "Rigid".
While I firmly believe that Mr Busey killed that poor woman and long may he stay in prison, I cannot believe that he acted alone. That poor excuse for a husband had something to do with it. Who sues the children of the woman he supposedly loved over money after they had lost their mother? And I have to wonder whether getting away with killing this lady because she had the 'gall to leave' him and take her money with her won't make him think he can do it to someone else. Also, Christianity is a relationship that one has with God, not a crowbar to beat people over the head with.
a neighbour who went by when he hears a woman scream.. an husband who was violent and knew that she was raped and murdered on the day she would get off their house .. come on.. something's not right.. there must be a connection between the killer and the husband .. ps: i am not sure what to think of reaction of the attorney.. it gave me chills and made me emotional .. but i found it also strange

Tamron Hall had a sister that was murdered and she became an advocate against crime after that
Katheryn Hauser's "neighbor" Lee Peifer, heard her screams and did nothing until he got to work. Wow. Just effing wow. 🤬
Right
He could have saved her life if he had just bothered to shout back and ask if she needed help. The killer would have run.
Yea I was thinking the same.
He said he heard her scream 4 times and waited until he got to work? Like what!
I think he meant his home office.

It’s a shame they couldn't dig deeper to find a connection between Busey and Hauser to prove conspiracy.

The defense attorney did her job. Has me even arguing the DNA. 😮
I know its the defense attorney's job to fight for their client and to do everything they can to keep them out of prison. But... Shes an attorney, she's an intelligent woman. She *KNOWS* her client is guilty of murder. She *KNOWS* his DNA was on the victim and the victim's blood/DNA was on her client. She *KNOWS* there is only *ONE* explanation as to why that would be. So, for her to stand there and cry over him being convicted of murder (knowing it was the correct verdict) is absolutely ridiculous, and she only made an ass of herself.
Agree
Absolutely agree 👍
She really did.
strong DNA evidence against her client, Busey; yet, she didn’t take the time to make a possible connection between Busey and the husband 🤷🏼♀️ makes me wonder if her performance was all an act.
Hubert Hauser got away with murder. A transient, drug addict was convicted of the murder, but I sincerely believe that Hubert Hauser framed the man that was convicted by planting the man's DNA at the crime scene. Watching video of the court proceedings, Hubert Hauser did not even bother to hide his sly, smug smiles when he saw he was getting away with murder... he was smiling throughout the trial. After her murder, Hubert Hauser received an insurance payout of close to $100,000, her 401K, as well as all of her assets and Kathyrn Hauser was coincidentally murdered the day before she was set to go to court to finalize their divorce. Either Hubert Hauser is the luckiest man in the world, or he is a murderer. Your soon to be ex-wife is murdered THE DAY BEFORE your divorce, which would have nullified your insurance payout? How lucky for Hubert... perhaps that is why he could not stop smiling in court?
The convicted individual in question was a known drug addict. Hubert Howard could have paid the man for his semen in exchange for drugs or money. Most homeless, drug addicts would agree to a deal like that. The evidence showed that the semen present was much less than would be present for an actual sexual assault or sexual act no matter how brief. And why would a homeless person be walking through a nice, residential neighborhood early in the morning at 07:15 am, at the EXACT moment Kathryn Hauser was leaving to go to work? The man convicted of the crime, Phillip James Busey, did have a long criminal record, but actually NONE of his previous crimes involved violence or rape. All of his previous crimes involved drug charges and burglaries. Why would he beat Kathyrn Hauser over the head with a brick, rape her and then proceed to take NOTHING from her home? I thought he was a burglar? Why didn't he steal anything that day? More importantly, why would he even have interacted with Kathyrn at all if he was just in the neighborhood to rob someone? Doesn't it make more sense if you see someone leaving to go to work, to just wait for her to leave and then enter her home? Also, who robs houses at 7:15 in the morning when A LOT of people will be getting ready to go to work?
It’s been a while! Love theses! Welcome Back!
Suppose 1) Busey has a mental illness 2) husband gets him to kill his wife . That could be what actually happened here.
and throws in a free rape... um na
And husband could've befriended him, some DNA transferred purposefully. But how did the killer only have a speck of blood on him? If he was a drifter where did he get his change of clothing?
Busey may have wanted to return to prison where life would be easier given that he was homeless.
Ding. Ding. Ding. This theory might be a winner. 😮
Yes Busey is mentally delayed (slow). I honestly don’t think he did this. (At least not on his own). I’m 100% positive the husband had something to do with this.
WHY DID THE BULLY HUSBAND SUE HER CHILDREN? DIDN'T HE INHERIT ENOUGH MONEY??? 😳
Narcissistic behaviour. Smdh 😑
There is a difference between religion and Christianity.
He doesn't show the love of Christ in relationship and in marriage.
There is no love of Christ in the marriage at all.
Christ never demands or force anyone to do anything.
Submission is mean giving to one another.
That's what angers me as a Christian. People abuse that power to get what they want. I've dealt with people like that. We're taught to love others regardless and not use it for gain.
I just love tameron hall shes the best ❤
No one considered murder for hire?🤔
Exactly!
That's the fIRST thing that came to mind
They don't want to know the truth.
Couldn’t the husband have been stalking her and noticed busy robbing the place and then the husband did the killing?!
Exactly! Somethings not right.
When I was just about to complain...
Welcome back ❤
Yay am happy you are back. But I'm looking for the Linda Yancey case and I come out on the Hauser case which I've watched, why. Anyone else have the same problem.
The female reporter says, "She was dead set on getting a divorce." WOW
Ikr 😳
Mazel Tov! That is so exciting! I went on this journey two years ago when I ghost-wrote a friend’s memoir. Such an amazing accomplishment…good for you! I will be buying and gifting many copies! 🙌❤️
This is the reality for women. Violent partners and random predators, we can never feel safe.
I swear even when investigators are proven wrong they will still take shots ! They should be ashamed
? What investigators? The police didn’t do that here.
I think it's just incredibly unusual that the police say the crime scene was so bloody because her head was wide open but this guy only had a tiny speck of blood on him?
Exactly and 6 drops of sperm found. Something is not right.
This whole case is simply bizarre and unsettling. I believe that there is much more to this case...ex-husband ✋️ isn't clean! It's sad to hear also that after all the abuse, he has gained her assets and sued the children. A living will maybe would off helped 😢! What a bummer.
Defence was an absolute fkn joke 😅😅😅 pathetic 😅
I love court tv
I feel like the husband gave a homeless man his clothes and set him up
Always Always someone murdered victim knew!
Exactly!
Love the show but the poor victim didn't know the monster
Yeah, but we would all stop watching if we only had to get three minutes in and say “it had to be the husband good night.” 😉
The defense attorney is sickening. He is where he belongs. Animal!!!!
R.I.P. Kathryn
She was mad bc she lost the case, in my honest opinion.

Give that poor murderer a hug.
Since Busey was a transient and the husband uses his religious beliefs as shields, excuses and weapons, isn’t there a possibility that the husband obtained the DNA and planted? Could the husband have paid someone to have sex with him and collect seamen? Could Busey have found her with her head bashed in and then took her inside? Was there valuables missing? How long exactly from the screams until the cops arrived? That makes a difference. Most homeless folks I’ve seen aren’t in the best of health and couldn’t murder, strip, rape, burglarize, leave little evidence and make a clean getaway in even 10 minutes.
Hmmm your analysis certainly invites further investigation. I thought about dna plantation too. This case does not sit right. Something is missing. Secondly how did the husband know about what happened to the wife. Was this homeless man monitoring her before he attacked? How did she became the target and not the other neighbours? Why that time?
Finally the person convicted did not show any emotional reaction. No objection, did not cry, did not speak. Too calm in my opinion.
Another thought....could it also be that being in prison is better than being on the streets? Since prison provides shelter. I once watched a documentary where people purposely offended to get back into prison. Mind you depends on what type of prison. If the husband had nothing to do with this case...I am always thanking God for DNA which has acquitted many innocent people.
Exactly... Thank you!
Im having troubles with this defense attorney. Something idnt right with her
@@iizateba299 I thought the same thing!
is this a new season? the story seems familiar...🤔
Think it's a repeat- if my memory is correct
those cuffs were on him faster than he could have even thought to bolt lol
So, the defense wanted the jury to look towards the victim's estranged husband as the killer... But, do they think the fact that the victim's DNA/blood being found on the defendant's clothing, AND the defendant's DNA being found at the scene of the crime, would just be swept under the rug and ignored? DNA doesn't lie, it has no bias. There is absolutely NO innocent reason for her DNA being on him and his DNA being on her. The *ONLY* explanation is that he killed her.
EXACTLY..and also why he wasn't shocked when he was found guilty
Regardless of all the evidence against him, that’s precisely what they’re supposed to do. The clue is in the burden of proof which is beyond a reasonable doubt. Once there is reasonable doubt (husband had motive, abusive history, threats to kill, the wife was leaving her husband the day she was murdered, his comments on sex/servitude in the relationship, his flustered appearance at work on the day of the murder) then the jury cannot find the defendant guilty. They must be satisfied that if he is guilty that it is beyond a reasonable doubt. A lot of the factors I’ve listed above could cause reasonable doubt. The defence did a very good job at trying to convince the jury there was cause for reasonable doubt, but they weren’t good enough.
Yesss i mean no doubt the husband was a bad person but the evidence is the evidence and like you said DNA put the killer in the crime scene. The DNA belonged to the defendant not the husband. It appeared as if the defense actually believed their client didn't do it , crazy
@@helenmurphy36what 8f he paid the guy to do it?
Exactly!!! That’s what I think - he was definitely involved!@@myunknownland9272
Why did an intelligent woman sign over her retirement and name him her beneficiary for everything she owned before she was married to him 2 months?? I wonder if Busey was hired I was hoping for a hung jury, so there could be more investigation! Middle age women are in too big of hurry to marry or remarry.
Yes. They act like teenagers without thinking out things through.
Because, he sold her a dream
I am middled aged and entering my FIRST my marriage, I have never rushed into anything and never will. I rather be alone than deal with some lunatic.
@@tamaramtl2024Congratulations beautiful, best wishes.
Poor lady, couldn't catch a break after trying to move on! 😢😔 😔
🎉🎉🎉Tamron is back yey
The whole story is building up to her husband being charged with murder - what a letdown. The title hints at her hubby being the perpetrator, too. I guess without the suspicious husband, it would just be a not-very-interesting true crime case 👎
aren’t we great as a society - the murderer had been homeless, now he is housed and fed, doesn’t have to do his own shopping, no cooking, no doing the dishes or the laundry, not worrying about paying the electricity bill, no rent, no taxes, no medical bills, no nothing - a real win-win situation for the criminal… not sooooo much for society really…
I am sure the killer was only paid for a few pennies to comit the crime, while her husband got her insurance money and properties to remarried and continue enjoying his life.
😢 trueeee
rest assured prison is not like that
@@RicheeBee-nn8mnhe is definitely house,fed n not paying bills or homeless no more
Then technically it’s just a “win situation “ not “win win”😂
Her ex is nuts. He is pissing me off talking to the jurors.
The husband lucked out😂
I believe that there has to be a connection of some sort between the defendant and the ex-husband, who wreaks of motive. The whole situation seems very convenient for the ex-husband. Something is very wrong here. In any case, this man is spiritually unfit to be a husband and father. A Christian husband is supposed to emulate Christ, who is generous and loving to His Bride, the Church. He gave His life for the Church. So, a Christian husband must emulate that ideal.
Possibly the church helping the homeless? Maybe they met that way. So hard to believe hubby not involved
Yay! She's back
Lmao. 😂
They wasted no time putting those cuffs on after hearing "guilty".
The defense attorney looked at the officer like she wanted to kill him! 😂
I don't know why she was so concerned about not hearing the rest of the verdict. The moment you hear the words "guilty" and "murder" in a verdict, they know he's not going anywhere but prison.
Good thing that they kept letting him walk every time he was arrested because it was nonviolent ?? Those charges for Robbery I guess he was polite to whoever he was robbing because I have never heard of a nonviolent robbery but it could just be my crazy way of thinking lol
A robbery involves a weapon. A burglary doesn’t but people mix up the terms.
Also cost of incarceration to tax payers goes into the equation
Maybe people are not actually there when he robs their house slow one.
..."When the defendant's attorney was more hurt than the defendant himself"😂
Tamron must have inherited her grandma's wardrobe...
Tameron Hall is awesome at her anchor job
Great show didn’t know about this one and agree so far hubby is very suspish…..
Is the Defense stupid to argue with DNA ridiculous 🤬
The right guy is on trial. Just because you were a douchebag of a husband, doesn't mean you murdered her. No connection between the two. Cops would have found a connection if it was there.
Being religious doesn’t mean anything. Religious folks do horrible things all the time. Why even say that?
I get it , the husband was a very bad person. However the DNA collected at the scene belonged to the defendant not the husband. It appeared no murder for hire here. It is almost as if the defense believed their client didnt do it. Thats crazy to me
😂😂You can't comprehend well, I see.
I think there probably should have been two people in Jail for her murder. No doubt Bussey did the crime, but the chances that he was paid to do it by the husband is pretty high imo.
Yes MORE MOREE WEVE BEEN WAITING 😊
Husband, a religious guy or a religious murderer?
I think husband hired this dude🤷🏾♀️
The real killer has escaped justice
Framed!
I love how they disrespect the man by saying he was weird or they didn't like how rigid he was, yet they were both very religious. Feminazi comments like this need to stop about men. It is very unfair. She was a "Free spirit and independent", and he was "Rigid".
I thought it was going to be a case of the husband hiring someone to kill his wife
Still think it’s possible
It is likely that this happened, but the defense didn't do a great job of finding the connection.
If Busey's DNA was on Kathryn, he did it. Husband was a disgusting man, but he wasn't the one. In this case, it wasn't someone they knew.
It is just so odd that this happened the day she was leaving....
No justiceHusband needs too go prison
While I firmly believe that Mr Busey killed that poor woman and long may he stay in prison, I cannot believe that he acted alone. That poor excuse for a husband had something to do with it.
Who sues the children of the woman he supposedly loved over money after they had lost their mother? And I have to wonder whether getting away with killing this lady because she had the 'gall to leave' him and take her money with her won't make him think he can do it to someone else.
Also, Christianity is a relationship that one has with God, not a crowbar to beat people over the head with.
Soo basically the husband got away with murder......
Tamron is a classy, elegant woman!!
I don't think
IDK I think the husband paid or manipulated the homeless man...
Turns out that it wasn't someone she knew, so it doesn't fit the theme of the series.
I thought it was someone they knew?🤔🤔🤔🤔
a neighbour who went by when he hears a woman scream.. an husband who was violent and knew that she was raped and murdered on the day she would get off their house .. come on.. something's not right.. there must be a connection between the killer and the husband .. ps: i am not sure what to think of reaction of the attorney.. it gave me chills and made me emotional .. but i found it also strange
Power of DNA
Great presenter indeed
