      Only doubt I have is how much insulin she administered in her husband after giving him two blood pressure pills to calm him down. He trusted her, it wasn’t blood pressure pills she gave him. The proof was in his urine analysis at the hospital.

    I watched most of this case. The only question I’ve had the entire trial is can the prosecution get the “beyond a reasonable doubt “ because there is no doubt what really happened with this killer. That’s what she is. The only thing I wish the State would have done is bring a couple of meatball parm wedges into the courtroom every day to plop down on the table in front of that loudmouth load of a defense Attourney who constantly objected on everything because he knew that’s their only chance. It got really annoying

    @Bethst-y3y 18 годин тому

    What I find interesting is that after he was admitted to the hospital and being intubated the state he was in, being on a vent, no brain activity present, she text her friend saying she hope it effects his mean side of his brain, then goes on to talk about a purse bingo, all while sending pictures of him in this horrible state JOKING… not one text about saying I should have brought him in sooner, I should have listened to you all, not one time did anyone say she showed remorse or need for him to be okay, but while in hospice she wanted a pillow put over his face, because she couldn’t handle it! No remorse! This was her husband!!! Only to keep the business going after he died, and continued to ask people for money. If her friends trusted her even after his death, she has no soul until the scheme came to light, then begged for mercy, but stated she had paid everyone back in the newspaper, she only took responsibility when pushed into a corner, but didn’t ask for forgiveness, just to allow her prison time be reduced or a check in case…she could convince her husband that a Xanax was Tylenol or a vitamin. If he hit his head so hard he broke granite, she knows not to let someone sleep in that condition, she allowed harm to her husband, she went as far as to bring a state
    Senator letter head into her scheme, to keep it going, she would shut her husband up as well, to keep her prestige in her mind and her community! No doubts!
