The captions on this are next level. You can tell a lot of attention was paid to exactly what was being said. Your effort and attention to detail are much appreciated . Thanks for another great upload.
I just want to say thank you to UA-cam creators who add subtitles to their videos. I am hard of hearing and using the close caption feature doesn’t always work right. So THANK YOU for putting that extra work in!
I very much agree! Some though are far removed from what is actually being said, so when one actually is so close to the correct verbiage, wording, it makes a world of difference.
If anyone that is in your family or your circle of friends gets murdered. And the police say they want to interview you about it. Just assume you are a suspect and ask for a lawyer. Don't say anything else until the lawyer is present.
@@Tony.Technics.1200s Apparently you don't understand my comment. Anyone with common sense understands this fact. The police is not gonna waste their time asking you about the habits of the dearly departed murder victim. They are asking you questions to narrow in on who the murderer might be. And so it doesn't matter if you have a 100 percent alibi. If you answer something in the wrong way or maybe God forbid. You forget to mention something that you don't think is important but the police does. You could be facing a nightmare of your own making by talking without a lawyer present. That is why people should ask for a lawyer to be there during the questions.Basically SHUT UP UNTIL YOUR LAWYER GIVES YOU PERMISSION TO SPEAK!!!
Are you serious…? She’s a terrible actress. EVERY person I’ve ever seen pull this stupid overly quiet whisper when responding to questions is 100% guilty. Go list to anything else about this case other than god damn Truth and Justice and you’ll realize in a heart beat how guilty this women is
@@sarahperez4639 any interrogation I’ve watched, which is admittedly a sad amount probably, the people who put on that “scared” quiet voice are always the ones that are guilty. You can put the voice aside but go listen to the other evidence of this case. This women is 100% guilty. There’s a lot of evidence not evident in this interview. Just look into it. If you look into the other evidence you’ll see it too
Hes found naked tied up. She's found nearly naked and tied up hands and feet BEHIND her back. And then these cops interrogate her like this and i truly believe shes innocent. Ive seen an unhealthy amount of interrogations and true crime since the 90s and her story has the ring of truth. I feel for her
@@DjSicEmgullible? I’m trying to imagine what it would be like to lose my husband to a violent murder. There’s no way anybody can predict how they would behave in this situation, it’s unfathomable.
I agree 💯 there treatment is sooo bad on her, she did ask for a lawyer way back in the video, I still can't make out if she has murdered her husband but I don't think she was treated fairly I'm from England and yea of course British cops don't always treat people fairly but American cops or should I say detective's are definitely not treating her fairly, anyway that's my opinion.
Rule number one on questioning, don’t ever talk to police without a lawyer. Especially when you’re being questioned for fucking murder. That’s a no brainer
and all in less than 24 hours after his death! I’ve seen cases where people aren’t asked to come in for weeks or months after a murder/death! he’s a real pos with zero evidence on her
Literally my exact thoughts!! Our judicial system is totally unfair. And I mean, we are talking about a judicial system that will let an admitted killer walk free simply if the police forget to mirandize them. And a judicial system that can pick & choose what evidence is or is not presented during a trial, when in fact any & all evidence is relevant and should be presented. A judicial system that all it takes for an obvious criminal to walk free is for one single jury member to have the slightest speck of "reasonable" doubt. And on the other hand, there are cases like this where there's all the reasonable doubt in the world and nothing but circumstantial evidence and yet she's convicted & imprisoned for the murder of her husband. A judicial system that will lock up a peaceful, innocent person for years & years for possessing marijuana, but let admitted & repeat rapists & child molesters out in a couple months. A judicial system that for the right amount of money, will let a serial killer walk free on "bond". And the list of unfair judicial practices can quite literally go on for ever. It's sick.
Same with him asking why England,when she says her daughter lives there. They are so suspicious and looking for anything to pin her on this murder. They do not care one bit she just lost her husband, me I’m still wondering how she managed to tie her hands behind her back so good & tight her in-laws couldn’t even get them untied. These cops suck and all they are after is hanging her
" I think I need a lawyer" that doesn't cut it. You must say a much more declarative statement like " I want my lawyer" or 'I'm not talking with out a lawyer". Anything less than this they can legally get around... Fyi
Once the word lawyer is uttered, the interrogation should be stopped and the detective asking the questions should ask very clearly if she would like a lawyer. Especially because if her right to a lawyer was violated it can lead to issues in prosecution.
I have multiple chronic illnesses and my husband is my primary caretaker... I just cannot believe she did this... the idea of losing your caretaker is literally the most terrifying thing for someone in our position. And I can tell he REALLY cared about her... she is mentioning alternative treatments that he was researching for HER (She mentions the Gerson Protocol). I can also bet the time in the jacuzzi was for her benefit. My husbands runs me a bath to help with my pain a lot. I just really can't wrap my head around this one....
I completely agree as I am in the same boat, and as you stated, our husbands/caretakers are literally our life support at times... I do not believe for one second that she was able to 1. Fight through all of her ailments to do this, and 2. Take out her soul mate, her caretaker, her beloved husband!! It just doesn't add up!😒😔 These "detectives," our so-called "justice system," etc. Got it wrong on this one!!!
@@Erebus.666.thank you ppl are so dum her story doesn’t add up someone is following her from cvs ppl got cameras and no me ente that house please guilty her story don’t add up t have that s u shake and ur mouth and everything I probably die please make my n sense m friends had a s and because no me was around she died s I find hard that she gets and come and go and fall asleep come on she probably was tired of her 32 years of life wanted t move with her daughter
@@iveliserojas612it doesn’t matter if she’s guilty it matters whether or not it can be proved beyond all reasonable doubt and there’s a shit ton of doubt.
No she didn't ask for a lawyer. Saying you might need a lawyer isn't a request. "I want a lawyer" would be. It's absolutely fine to do that. Also: never talk to cops if you're on the suspect list. It might make you look weird, but that's a whole lot better than moving to a prison long term.
@@rebel4466 semantics. when someone says "i think i want a lawyer" or something like that, they should at the very least clarify and ask the person to confirm whether they are officially requesting one or not. these guys just completely ignored what she said and kept asking questions.
@@rebel4466I may be wrong, but I thought she said "I think I need a lawyer". Now that's a bit ambiguous, because there are two ways to take it. It could mean, 'I might need a lawyer, but I'm not sure' OR it could mean "I do need a lawyer... that's what I think". The word *'think'* doesn't necessarily convey ambivalence or indecision. Effectively, the second interpretation is a definitive resolve that a lawyer should be present. It's not explicitly asking for a lawyer, but nor should you have to. The implication that you want one, or believe you need one, is (or should be) enough to know that it is your desire, preference and wish that there be one present. IMHO at the very mention of a lawyer, they should back off and ascertain if they are clear to proceed or not. There should be no coercion or prying tactics to trick the suspect into re engaging. 'Lawyer' should be like the safe word in a BDSM session, that prevents any further action taking place (or so I've heard). 😜
If your Mother and her new Boyfriend you didnt like, was the only 2 people in a house, and your Mom was killed, i am sure you would want cops like this. Or even better, if your only son was killed while he was with your ex-boyfriend "the Father", you would want cops who kept asking for information. And you would see Nothing wrong with it. That is why not all people can become cops, because it takes alot to do what is needed. You think we would get anywhere if all cops just asked people: "did you do it?" and when they got the first "No" then case closed. ? Edit: I am NOT saying she did it, i am NOT saying anything about what happend, just saying that cops need to ask and ask and keep asking and then ask again. Had she at the end of the video said: "Okay, i did it, he pissed me off" you would not write what you did. That is my point.
These Detective are a real piece of work!!! She asked for her lawyer 2 or 3 times & they didn't listen....... Still cant believe she is in prison..... these cops got it all wrong & the jury as well
Im so happy The Innocence Project has taken on this case. If she isnt released based on the DNA found on the handle of the safe, it only makes it more clear, our judicial system is corrupt
She asked for a lawyer toward the end of this video, “I need a lawyer, you guys are torturing me here,” yet they continue to ask her questions. That alone should get the “evidence” thrown out.
Even if she is released, our Government and Judicial system is still corrupt as hell. There may be some decent people that work in those establishments, but at the core, they have been proven to be unjust in many ways. Just look at the unnecessary wars the United States have been in! The CIA getting caught smuggling heroin from Vietnam in the dead soldiers body bags. MK ultra experiments on people! It goes on, and on!
@@automatoncollectives7237 Innocent until PROVEN guilty. I didn't see any proof. However, you are correct. She was still found guilty according to the law. She needs a competent lawyer.
Sandra Melgar is her full name, and the Innocence Project in Texas is already representing her. I agree with most of you, she sounds innocent, distraught over her loss. These detectives already had their minds made up before even before the interrogation started!! what a shame!
She did but the video is edited. Just speculating, but they probably spoke her out of it with “you THINK you want a lawyer? We have more questions, and we’d really like to help your husband. Do you want to help your husband?” Dirty but legal tactic.
You can't say I think I should get a lawyer technically. If you are going to ask for a lawyer you need to stop and tell them you are done talking because you are requesting for a lawyer.
@@amber13000 but amber they putting that pressure and saying u want help him etc... She's a mess too... You should upload a vid, u seem like you have good things to say on things.
She is! Okay so Sandra Melgar. There is new DNA evidence of blood from the knife attack, on their safe that matches an unknown MALE not related to Sandra and/or her husband! "new DNA testing on the safe points in a different direction. “It did come back to a male who is not my father. It does not have any familial match or ties to us," she said. (Their daughter Rose)
These two detectives are really terrible , I’ve never seen an interrogation like this . This poor woman , the minute they came into the room they were bullying and straight up accusing her ……makes me feel sick watching it.
Agreed. Even if cops chop it up with you and it’s bullshit just to get on your good side, these guys didn’t even try. Immediately came in guns blazing haha. If she really didn’t do it, this allllll has to be horrific karma for something she did even if it was in a past life.
Agree. I can't watch after a bit, because I feel really sorry for her. Wish she would have demanded an attorney more strongly. She was trying to be too nice and not assertive.
NEVER EVER speak to a cop without an attorney. They ignored her when she asked for 1. They automatically assume that she is guilty. She's definitely innocent. Those PIGS are disgusting
It’s clear these detectives have no concept of chronic illness. He acts shocked she uses a cane, is in constant pain, and uses a jacuzzi frequently. Among other things… she seems to have appropriate responses. I haven’t finished it, but I hope she gets an appeal.
Same goes for all the comments saying she's guilty. No concept of the impact of her illness. She was once paralyzed in half her body, lupus, seizures, and double hip replacement. Who was found behind a bathroom barricaded by a door tied up. But they're 'experts' in body language and can tell she's lying.
Detective: "What's your date of birth?" Audio: **disgruntled Cthulhu noises** You have NO idea how much I appreciate this. It's so much more pleasant than loud screeching beeps and whatnot. Thank you very much! :'D
I’ve seen detectives have more compassion for people they know for certain committed murder. Why would she even be a suspect if her hands are tied behind her back. It’s not impossible but it’s unlikely especially if it’s tied tightly.
The spouse is always the number one suspect until they can rule them out….it’s literally almost always how most homicide investigations start off when it involves couples where one ends up dead.
As someone that has seizures I can attest to the validity of her not being more panicked or suspicious about waking up and being in the closet. So many times I have woken up or sort of came to in weird places doing weird things. And often I will instantly be embarrassed or become afraid that I have done something awful and just go and hide and fall asleep due to exhausting nature of the seizure itself. I have come to eating candles, nail polish and raw onions that I have chopped up without being conscious. I have taken a bunch of change and pushed them into a container of margarine and took out every slice of bread covered them in countrytime lemonade powder and put it all back in the package. I have walked around naked and then try to take my dog for a walk, thankfully she knew that I was not ok and dug in her heels when I got to the road and woke me up before I was able to walk naked down the street and past my ex husbands house lol. I will operate as though I am in a parallel universe reacting to things only i can see and not take in everything that is actually real and happening. Anyway I am extremely appalled that this woman could even be considered capable of committing this crime due to the level of strength required to carry out such a horrifically violent crime.
I can relate somewhat. I don't have seizures, but I have debilitating migraines that I've have become progressively worse over the years. I have to take a several medications daily, throughout the day for the rest of my life just to still experience daily headaches, and about 3 migraines each week. Due to the migraines affecting my brain over the past 20+ years and side effects of the meds, my body constantly feels weak & extremely tired all the time. My joints always ache, as well as my bones (no lie, I can literally feel my thigh bones hurting so badly some days that I have to pound on them to try and get some type of "relief"). My memory is SO bad now that I literally forgot how old my son was the other day.... I was so upset about temporarily not remembering that I had to hold back tears. And on top of those side effects, when a migraine still breaks through, the pain is so intense sometimes that I kid you not, I literally cannot move from my bed. The migraine will wake me up due to the pain being so extreme, but I can't do anything to relieve it because my body is paralyzed from the pain. I can't move my head, arms, anything....I'm literally stuck in whatever position I wake up in until I can slowly move my hand over to reach my cellphone to call my son for help who's in the next room over. And that's usually after laying in pain for hours like that because even trying to call out to him for help would intensify the pain so much that I have passed out at times. So I can definitely sympathize with others who have chronic pain & multiple symptoms that are hard to explain because it's not easy for others to understand unless you've gone through it yourself. And even then, each disease can cause different symptoms for each person. I wish the jury had been more informed about the complexities of Sandra's multiple conditions and tried to put themselves in her shoes. Or thought of someone close to them who probably deals with chronic pain themselves.
I have about 7 seizures a year you are disoriented your muscles tighten up you can hit your head and be completely unconscious you wouldn’t be aware of anything. Mine can last up to ten min. Many times I have not woken up until emts have already arrived pricked my finger and taken my blood pressure. You are very tired and confused afterwards. She easily could have seized and her husband left the back door unlocked someone followed him in. They could have raped her and tied her up and she would not be aware. As far as wrap around bruises if someone is tying you up don’t you think they would be holding you down??? Wtf most awful interview I have seen. Everything she said made Sense not to mention they continued to question her after she said lawyer. I hope she didn’t end up with a public defender.
I feel so bad for this woman. They set their sights on her right from the beginning of her interrogation. To me her story matched every time they asked her to repeat it and it is ludicrous to believe that a woman in her condition could over power a man that is perfectly healthy and stab him 50 times. I can't believe that a jury would convict her when the prosecution could not find a motive.
@@FLo-jc7ig There are a lot of inconsistencies in this case. Her husband's immediate family thinks she is innocent. Sandra was in the closet for at least 15 hours probably more, during this time she urinated and defalcated on herself. Her hands were not tied in a way that she could have done by herself ( the prosecution demonstration was not the same as how she was tied). The police took Sandra from the crime scene to the station for questioning, they kept her for HOURS, this was AFTER 15+ hours in the closet. Sandra was on multiple medications for seizures, lupus, RA, ect. Some days she needed a cane to walk. There were several home invasions in the area during the same time. The prosecutor had been in some trouble previously and this was her “comeback” trial. The prosecutor and jury foreman became close friends after the trial and even got together to watch coverage of the case at the prosecutors home.... When the police think you are guilty they get tunnel vision. She should have demanded a lawyer from the beginning. The innocence project has picked up her case. Peace
If she got the first stab close to is heart from behind,which could have happened since he was in his closet getting dressed or undressed, and then very quickly stab him again and again, etc, she very quickly could have gotten the upper hand.
@@FLo-jc7igright, and yet it happens. He could have kept fighting or the killer could have had a vendetta from some earlier time or job and just wanted to make sure the job was done. But I'm undecided on this one. Just found.
What a disgrace to every aspect of our legal system. From the initial interrogation, the “investigation” which seemed centered on proving how Sandra could have done this and ignoring clear evidence to the contrary, and finally to a jury finding her guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt!!!”.. this case is appalling.
It really seems like these men have already made up her mind even before they walked into that room and sat down, that she is guilty. She truly seems like she is in just absolute shock. And who can blame her? She seems truthful.
When the detective starts going, "help me. Help me. I need help. Please help me, Sandra" I feel like he's trying to break her by using what he suggested were likely the last words Sandra would have heard from her husband
I have Lupus and I can't even get both arms behind my back, someone would have to pull them into place and it would hurt, if I was awake. I don't believe she did this and I think the cops are just bullying her in a roundabout way to make it look like she did. I've seen them treat people better who HAVE murdered someone, giving them cigs drinks and even buying them McDonalds etc. This poor woman could also be experiencing heightened pain in the interview as she is cold and in my experience with Lupus the cold makes the pain worse. I really feel for her.
I have lupus too and there is no way I could commit a murder if I wanted to I would run out of energy after the first blow and she has 3x as many issues as I do!! There's no way she could have done this!
I've never believed she was guilty and it's beyond me how any jury could convict her. The jury had to have been biased against her somehow because there is OBJECTIVE reasonable doubt in this case. It just doesn't make sense.
@@alabama.worleywhat part of the story is ridiculous or highly implausible? She’s explained the situation to the best of her knowledge. The detectives need to do a better job. But who can blame them-It’s not like detectives (or any cops) are hard to come by 👀😜
I find it quite interesting that the demeanor of these detectives was instantly abrasive and void of any sensitivity to what very well could have been a horrific murder and assault. They are firing off question after question often not allowing her to finish her answer before asking another question. They are not even utilizing the Reid technique, starting off by building a rapport with her. It's pretty clear to me that they believed she was guilty and were not only not interested in pursuing any other line of investigation, they focused strictly on her and proceeded with a confirmation bias. Whether she is guilty or not, having tunnel vision of this magnitude could cost them a conviction regardless of the real culprit. Smdh
Omg this poor woman she just went through losing her husband and going through a nightmare and they treat her like she is guilty right away . Wow this is insane. Have no sympathy whatsoever for how she is feeling right now.
Asking about their relationship is invalid! A couple can have a toxic and even an abusive relationship but that don’t make them murderers! And some of the questions-I would be that one that would tell the detective it wasn’t any of their damn business!
Waaaaaaaa???? Do toxic couples feign love Dovie on their anniversary? What is wrong with y’all rooting for her? She sooooooo did it. Ask if toxic couples eat the strawberries and whip cream.
I hate watching this knowing how in shock she is and how the detective just keep asking her questions. She needed to request an attorney and stick to that. 😢😢 Nothing indicates she did it and he did everything for her.
It sucks bc she did ask multiple times and they made her feel guilty for asking and her trust in the system let her down. They went into this guilty before proven innocent which is ironic bc I thought Texas was alllll about the gud ol merca laws! But apparently misogyny and sexism is a bit more true stereotype. Really sucks. Cuz I have some doubt she’s guilty and reasonable doubt is all it takes for someone to to be not guilty. Or at least that’s what I thought.
I feel the same way you do. This was brutal to watch. They kept harping on her asking the same questions over and over again. She gives the same answers as well. Problem is they can't find a motive. Why one minute sit in an intimate jacuzzi tub, then BANG!! She just shoots him. Doesn't make sense, but then again most murders don't make sense.
@@ekamarie6632that’s what they always do. Watch all these videos and it’s the same, only usually they can’t get over on an adult. They usually do that to the younger ones. They make them feel guilty for asking for a lawyer, and that….if they don’t tell the police their side of the story, right now…..then that’s it for them, and that the police are on their side and are trying to help. And none of it is true.
The defense then argued a bloody handle of the safe was never tested by law enforcement. Their daughter Rose said in years “new testing on the safe points in different direction”. “It did come back to a male who is not my father. It does not have familial match or ties to us”.
This is infuriating!!! She did NOT kill her husband. This is a case where the District Attorney only cares about winning, when in reality they are obligated to fight for justice. This story disgusts me. And it’s a prime example of how justice isn’t just.
This is just the interview, it would only be a small portion of the case against you would really need to look at the other evidence to make a decision.
They did find some evidence that suggests someone else was in the home they found two dna types that did not match anyone in the family as well as a backpack in the garage that didnot belong to the victims Sandra also had a long history of seizures I do not think she did this
Yeah and the back pack had the family's belongings in it like video console... Like a thief packed it... And a white girls tee shirt floating in the jacuzzi that she said was not hers. How could they not test the blood on the safe???
I feel bad for all the comments. This case is irking me BADLY. “It did come back to a male who is not my father. It does not have any familial match or ties to us," -Liz Melgar, daughter. There was blood on the Melgars safe handle that was never tested. In 2022 in an interview, that’s when Liz said this. I firmly believe Jamie left the door open when he went to check what the dogs were barking at, and THATS why there was no signs of forced entry. My theory is the intruder held Jamie at gun/knife point and took him where he did. Or maybe Jamie tried to hide & was found. I do not believe Sandra did it, or at least not alone.
It's good to read something from family vs just opinions (mine included). That has nudged me into delving further into this case than just my usual fuming and p*ssed off comments (albiet, this is the FIRST time I've actually had more than reasonable doubt, and not just raging at the mideveal REID system and a huge amount of ego driven, ignorant, arsehole US cops.
@@catherinegrace6406 oh god yeah, I agree with that. “Get knocked out, don’t remember anything before that happened.” I just don’t fully believe she did it, or didn’t do it.
one small thing i noticed that i think is telling is that when they asked her "how was the chair blocking the door?" she said "i dont know, i just know he had to move it." an innocent person trapped in the closet probably wouldn't know, so either she was just smart and quick-witted enough to answer that way, or she is really innocent.
I believe her. Not done with the video yet; but how they told her the doors were locked and she said “okay” as if she were spitballing with the cops on theorizing what happened. Can’t believe they still talked to her after she said she wanted a lawyer… couldn’t the case have been thrown out because of that?
I don’t know about throwing the case out but her lawyer could of had everything after that thrown out. Had she confessed for example it could of been thrown out.
There's a world of difference between "Gee willikers, it sure would be mighty nice if my lawyer was around for this" plus continuing to answer questions, and "I refuse to answer any more questions without the guidance of my rightful legal counsel"
responses to interrogation questions are inadmissable after invoking their right to a lawyer. if a person were to say "I want a lawyer, but by the way I'm guilty" that would not be "thrown out".
Yeah, it does. It really sucks when women premeditatedly stab their husbands to death, especially after cunningly getting him lulled into a state of pure vulnerability, stripped of clothing in his own home, running in fear for his gun. That really had to suck. Then, when the murderous woman who is an atrocious liar creates a ludicrous and implausible story, with the evidence stacked against her, proven judicially to have committed the crime, the vast majority of people still believe the most outrageous lies without question simply because she claims them. This case truly sucks.
@@alabama.worley What lies are you referring to? I haven't gotten through the complete docu yet but so far I'm not hearing lies. From what I've heard so far there isn't anything that points to her guilt. Her seizure history would be easy enough to check out both medically and with family.
@@debbinz5108 Check out Pat Brown's analysis if you're lazy. If you're truly interested in the facts of the case, they're available online and tell a clear story. Her verdict has been upheld judicially, with several key components highlighted by the state within her most recent appeal. A biased narration isn't a source-it's literal entertainment.
@@alabama.worley No need to be snarky, as I said I'd just tuned in and was about halfway through. Oh, and I did search online. The first article I stumbled on was "New Evidence...." Hardly new, agree?
She seems just done, she’s been cooperative and hasn’t really been super defensive and also has answered everything fairly quickly considering. It doesn’t sound or feel like she did it. She sounds tired, she doesn’t even sound like she’s afraid of going to jail, which watching so many until this one, she acts a lot different.
@@alabama.worley I have no idea if she did it or not, but being around all sorts of people, in many type of jobs, working in hospitals, the government, and so on…I may not know 100% but if I knew her personally, I’m 99% certain I could tell. (Like when you know someone has a secret and you know them personally, you can totally tell when someone faking a smile, not really laughing, fake crying, etc. I think life experiences and actually paying attention to what’s happing (like an artist seeing the whole picture and not just letting their eyes glaze over) being professionally trained or just paying attention as your life goes on can help heaps to understand someone’s “tells” or just change in personality. From this video and viewpoint alone, none of us on here know, it’s impossible to know for sure. We can guess and have our own opinions, but no one but her, the one dead, and the evidence can be more than 99% certain.
I think she is innocent however she just had no reaction to this. Either she was in shock or extremely tired. I feel like I have to reach down her throat and pull her words out. Very frustrating. I pray for her and all people falsely imprisoned. This justice system needs a serious overhaul.
Saying you think you need a lawyer is not enough for the cops to be forced to end the interview. Many decisions have made it clear that you have to explicitly ask for one. I don't recall her being mirandized though.
@@Tanks_In_Space I assumed that was the case. She should have asked invoked her right to attorney before answering any questions. She should have known that she was going to be a prime suspect in this case.
Those Detectives should have lost their job. This is so heartbreaking. I believe her and i hope they are able to bring up the DNA, and find whom ever did this.
I have always ALWAYS thought Sandra was innocent - she needs to be freed NOW!! I read a comment below stating that the fact that Sandra is in prison and Casey Anthony is out walking free and making money from her despicable crime is f*cking mindboggling!!!
@@mop161I thought the same. I’d be in hysterics, filled with horror and bewilderment. She’s overall very calm. But, I know people handle grief differently. I know.
Jeez, these cops are manipulative af. I can't see anything that shows her guilt. The fact that they continued to harass her after she asked for a lawyer is insane.
Okay so I was wondering the same thing, and I think the loop hole is she has to say “I want a lawyer” not “ I THINK I want a lawyer” they have to be point blank . Not sure if I’m correct but I think that’s what’s happening here
I remember Matt Orchard's video about this case. He remained inconclusive, and I agreed with him at the time: from his video, I don't understand how a jury managed to find her guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. I had nothing but doubt after watching it. I'll see how this one tackles the issue.
@@jesseerickson662 same as before. I think there's nothing but reasonable doubt here. But the trial also happened in Texas, so my standards of expectation are quite low (still second to Florida though).
Her conviction is HORRIFIC... I have the SAME medical diagnosis. Hashimotos, epilepsy, and lupus. It can cause EVERYTHING she's exhibiting from memory loss, headache,to the bruising. How she could have tied herself up so well is a mystery as well... all in all it's heartbreaking!
I recall seeing this interview A LONG time back and I have NEVER belueved she did this. Ever. Never will. Its not ALWAYS someone the victim knows and its not ALWAYS the wife or husband, yall!! It should be SUPER ILLEGAL to be even allowed to QUESTION someone without evidence!
Considering that they did pretty much imply after about a half hour that they think she might have done it, it's no surprise she would be defensive and think she isn't being believed. The cops should have waited much, much later to show their hand like that. Now everything she says and her entire demeanor can be chalked up to losing her husband while also being scared that the cops think she did it. If she really did do it, they gave her too many reasons to act the way she is.
So are the cops saying she tied herself, both hands,at the back??? Also I read somewhere where it says the police said there was no forced entry and yet the garage door was open and that’s the door they used often. The door to their bedroom was blocked by a chair from outside, so she staged that too?
Of all the vases I’ve “studied”, this one has always had me wondering. I have a lot of the questions that others have. Has anyone considered there might have been someone else involved? Maybe she had it set up? I don’t want it to be her. I certainly don’t want an innocent person in prison. Something just doesn’t add up. 😑
This interrogation is disgusting! After an hour I would have said ‘I’ve done with this shit’ charge me or let me go and get me a lawyer! This end bit is inhumane and thoroughly disgusting 🤬
PLEASE tell me this injustice is being addressed by the innocence project or another organization? This is why I by FAR fear the police more than I look to them for protection
Why are these detectives treating her like this right away? And then asking about what she was wearing like her underwear? Makes him sound like a weirdo. I would have been devastated if this happened to me with these detectives after going through the worst thing that’s ever happened. And yet we got people like OJ and Casey Anthony walking around like 🤷🏻♀️
She specifically said she wanted a lawyer and they continued to ask questions! I do not believe she killed her husband then tied herself up with a chair outside her closet!!!
Exactly, you MUST clearly state you want a lawyer, not maybe I need one, or do I need one. It must be, "I want a lawyer now" and STOP talking entirely.
I'm like really sad if she didn't do it because she's in prison and that really sucks and sometimes cops don't want to do their job so they will go with the easiest way out and that is bullshit
I'm very curious of what evidence was used at her trial to convince a jury to convict this lady... I didn't think she did it, but when Stranger Stories said, "All of the evidence was circumstantial and she couldn't tie herself up the way she was tied with her physical and health conditions", I was and still is convinced that she didn't do it!!!
I have seen several documentaries about this crime and read up on the case. I will watch your video but it’s my opinion that there was enough reasonable doubt that she should not have been convicted. My reasons for believing why she shouldn’t have been convicted are too many to list in this format, however I am openminded so I’ll see if your video gives me reason to change my mind. 1:09
This is why I would never ever speak to the police without an attorney. I mean, G-d help me if anything like this happened to my spouse, but there’s no way in hell I’d be a sacrificial lamb for law enforcement just so they can close a case. Come at me if you want but this poor woman is STILL in prison despite there being massive holes in the state’s case against her, big enough to drive a freaking tank brigade through, but there’s also DNA that indicates her actual innocence.
The DNA doesn't indicate her innocence though. It just isn't hers or his. There are a million ways DNA could show up on an earring, brushing past somebody too close at the store and it sticks to your hair then transfers to the earring. That DNA is entirely inadmissible because it doesn't belong to any suspect, and she's the only suspect there is. If she didn't do it herself, she absolutely without a doubt is involved with whomever did.
@@BusinessSkrub That’s a very good point. What I read was it was DNA from the safe where there was also blood from the victim so… I dunno man. It’s a wild case for sure.
@@jesseerickson662 isn't that the point of the investigation? They didn't find any other person who possibly could have done it. She's the only suspect. So she must be involved somehow
How many time does she ask for a lawyer, and they still kept interrogate her? Also, a polygraph is something no one should ever take. Its been proven time and time again that they're bogus form of lie detection. This interrogation should be thrown out.
I am torn. Usually, I can spot a guilty party from the first few sentences. I am 43 mins in, and I am just now wavering from innocent to maybe guilty. I also have to consider the drinks, the feel good vibes, the buzz... The medical history. IDK. I will have to watch a little later when I can concentrate more.
It is so difficult to tie up your own hands in such a way that someone else could not get it undone without a pair of scissors. It's almost impossible. Unless you're some kind of crazy knot expert
There are knots that are super loose when put on and can be cinched/tightened. That alone is enough for me to think she did do it to herself. It was shown in court how it could be done to yourself. The same knots.
If her hands & legs were tied together & 2 people tried to untie her & were unable to, that tells me she probably wasn't the person who tied her.. so either she was tied up by the person that she conspired with to commit the crime or she was a surviving victim of the crime which is rare to survive a murder
She asked for an attorney specifically for the hypothetical polygraph in the future. She has to ask for one "right now," or "before I keep talking to you." I think she's innocent, but just mentioning getting a lawyer for the polygraph or asking, "should I get a lawyer?" doesn't cut it. Have to say, "I want a lawyer now." I can't believe a jury found her guilty!!!!!!
This is super frustrating. She JUST had hip surgery! She has seizures! She falls! This is absolutely crazy. The DNA didn’t match anybody in the family! What more do you need!!!! This is HORRIBLE! Poor lady. Innocent! She asked for a lawyer way to much.
She asked for a lawyer 3 times and they continued to pressure her. Her story never changed. Their interrogation of Sandra was cruel and torturous at the end of this totally ridiculous excuse of an interrogation. I didn’t see the court hearing on this, but I don’t believe she did this. I don’t know how she could have overpowered him enough to stab him 20 plus times then bash his head in. He fought and had dozens of defensive wounds on his hands. I would love to see what the jury saw and heard that convinced them beyond a REASONABLE doubt that she did this.

If anyone that is in your family or your circle of friends gets murdered. And the police say they want to interview you about it. Just assume you are a suspect and ask for a lawyer. Don't say anything else until the lawyer is present.
That's good advice no matter the reason they wanna talk to you. Don't fall for them making you feel guilty for exercising your right.
Exactly
not just murder, any time the cops want to talk to you about any crime! it’s your right, and sometimes your only protection.
No, If you're guilty, then its always better to try to talk your way out of it without an attorney, society will be better off for it.
@@Tony.Technics.1200s Apparently you don't understand my comment. Anyone with common sense understands this fact. The police is not gonna waste their time asking you about the habits of the dearly departed murder victim. They are asking you questions to narrow in on who the murderer might be. And so it doesn't matter if you have a 100 percent alibi. If you answer something in the wrong way or maybe God forbid. You forget to mention something that you don't think is important but the police does. You could be facing a nightmare of your own making by talking without a lawyer present. That is why people should ask for a lawyer to be there during the questions.Basically SHUT UP UNTIL YOUR LAWYER GIVES YOU PERMISSION TO SPEAK!!!
She either deserves an Oscar for best performance or she is 100% innocent.

Hes found naked tied up. She's found nearly naked and tied up hands and feet BEHIND her back. And then these cops interrogate her like this and i truly believe shes innocent.

Proof positive that no one should EVER talk to the cops without their attorney present!
I agree 💯 there treatment is sooo bad on her, she did ask for a lawyer way back in the video, I still can't make out if she has murdered her husband but I don't think she was treated fairly I'm from England and yea of course British cops don't always treat people fairly but American cops or should I say detective's are definitely not treating her fairly, anyway that's my opinion.
Especially when you’re guilty.
Rule number one on questioning, don’t ever talk to police without a lawyer. Especially when you’re being questioned for fucking murder. That’s a no brainer
Guilty
and all in less than 24 hours after his death! I’ve seen cases where people aren’t asked to come in for weeks or months after a murder/death! he’s a real pos with zero evidence on her
The fact that this woman is sitting in prison and Casey Anthony is out here living her best life just shows how jacked our justice system is smh.
Literally my exact thoughts!! Our judicial system is totally unfair. And I mean, we are talking about a judicial system that will let an admitted killer walk free simply if the police forget to mirandize them. And a judicial system that can pick & choose what evidence is or is not presented during a trial, when in fact any & all evidence is relevant and should be presented. A judicial system that all it takes for an obvious criminal to walk free is for one single jury member to have the slightest speck of "reasonable" doubt. And on the other hand, there are cases like this where there's all the reasonable doubt in the world and nothing but circumstantial evidence and yet she's convicted & imprisoned for the murder of her husband. A judicial system that will lock up a peaceful, innocent person for years & years for possessing marijuana, but let admitted & repeat rapists & child molesters out in a couple months. A judicial system that for the right amount of money, will let a serial killer walk free on "bond". And the list of unfair judicial practices can quite literally go on for ever. It's sick.
Her dad was guilty.
I'm from England but did watch the case about Casey Anthony, it's just so wrong, but yea we have so many wrong things go on in England.
@@marycanfield8654 You think so??? Now that's a new twist!

Made me laugh out loud fr
Same with him asking why England,when she says her daughter lives there. They are so suspicious and looking for anything to pin her on this murder. They do not care one bit she just lost her husband, me I’m still wondering how she managed to tie her hands behind her back so good & tight her in-laws couldn’t even get them untied. These cops suck and all they are after is hanging her
Lmao
Lol
She asked for a lawyer multiple times. They kept ignoring her. Throw the case out!!!
My thoughts
" I think I need a lawyer" that doesn't cut it. You must say a much more declarative statement like " I want my lawyer" or 'I'm not talking with out a lawyer". Anything less than this they can legally get around... Fyi
I heard her ask for a lawyer twice & was ignored!!
Yes release a murderer because of a loop hole, I guess u love when rapists get away because of loopholes
Once the word lawyer is uttered, the interrogation should be stopped and the detective asking the questions should ask very clearly if she would like a lawyer. Especially because if her right to a lawyer was violated it can lead to issues in prosecution.
I have multiple chronic illnesses and my husband is my primary caretaker... I just cannot believe she did this... the idea of losing your caretaker is literally the most terrifying thing for someone in our position. And I can tell he REALLY cared about her... she is mentioning alternative treatments that he was researching for HER (She mentions the Gerson Protocol). I can also bet the time in the jacuzzi was for her benefit. My husbands runs me a bath to help with my pain a lot. I just really can't wrap my head around this one....
I agree 💯 percent.
I completely agree as I am in the same boat, and as you stated, our husbands/caretakers are literally our life support at times... I do not believe for one second that she was able to 1. Fight through all of her ailments to do this, and 2. Take out her soul mate, her caretaker, her beloved husband!! It just doesn't add up!😒😔 These "detectives," our so-called "justice system," etc. Got it wrong on this one!!!
The police dropped the ball on this one.
Juries want SOMEONE to pay. They don’t much care who...
These cops are hacks, that's why.
The interrogation should've ended the moment she asked foe a lawyer. How they got that past the court is insane.
I’m glad the innocence project got a hold of her case
They are good at setting guilty people free, but I think she should have gotten a lawyer when she said she thinks she wants one.
Why? She isn't in any way innocent. Guilty, and a terrible liar.

@iveliserojas612 my head hurts now 😫
I think she’s being truthful. She asked for a lawyer. The cops suck!🤬
No she didn't ask for a lawyer. Saying you might need a lawyer isn't a request. "I want a lawyer" would be. It's absolutely fine to do that. Also: never talk to cops if you're on the suspect list. It might make you look weird, but that's a whole lot better than moving to a prison long term.
@@rebel4466 semantics. when someone says "i think i want a lawyer" or something like that, they should at the very least clarify and ask the person to confirm whether they are officially requesting one or not. these guys just completely ignored what she said and kept asking questions.
@@rebel4466I may be wrong, but I thought she said "I think I need a lawyer". Now that's a bit ambiguous, because there are two ways to take it. It could mean, 'I might need a lawyer, but I'm not sure' OR it could mean "I do need a lawyer... that's what I think". The word *'think'* doesn't necessarily convey ambivalence or indecision. Effectively, the second interpretation is a definitive resolve that a lawyer should be present. It's not explicitly asking for a lawyer, but nor should you have to. The implication that you want one, or believe you need one, is (or should be) enough to know that it is your desire, preference and wish that there be one present.
IMHO at the very mention of a lawyer, they should back off and ascertain if they are clear to proceed or not. There should be no coercion or prying tactics to trick the suspect into re engaging. 'Lawyer' should be like the safe word in a BDSM session, that prevents any further action taking place (or so I've heard). 😜
@@jacob9538 I hate semantics. I guess you could say I am anti-semantic.
If your Mother and her new Boyfriend you didnt like, was the only 2 people in a house, and your Mom was killed, i am sure you would want cops like this. Or even better, if your only son was killed while he was with your ex-boyfriend "the Father", you would want cops who kept asking for information. And you would see Nothing wrong with it. That is why not all people can become cops, because it takes alot to do what is needed. You think we would get anywhere if all cops just asked people: "did you do it?" and when they got the first "No" then case closed. ?
Edit: I am NOT saying she did it, i am NOT saying anything about what happend, just saying that cops need to ask and ask and keep asking and then ask again. Had she at the end of the video said: "Okay, i did it, he pissed me off" you would not write what you did. That is my point.
These Detective are a real piece of work!!! She asked for her lawyer 2 or 3 times & they didn't listen.......
Still cant believe she is in prison..... these cops got it all wrong & the jury as well
I'm not understanding how her attorney at trial couldn't have this thrown out since they violated her rights by ignoring her requests for a lawyer!
I totally agree
Im so happy The Innocence Project has taken on this case. If she isnt released based on the DNA found on the handle of the safe, it only makes it more clear, our judicial system is corrupt
She asked for a lawyer toward the end of this video, “I need a lawyer, you guys are torturing me here,” yet they continue to ask her questions.
That alone should get the “evidence” thrown out.
She said she needs to talk to a lawyer twice near the beginning and they completely ignored her…
They have??? Thank God
@@enigma_-_79She asked for a lawyer more than 3 times the detectives totally ignored her and even tortured her emotionally

Is there such a thing anymore. Doesn't seem that way. Remember this if you are ever on a jury.
Sandra Melgar is her full name, and the Innocence Project in Texas is already representing her. I agree with most of you, she sounds innocent, distraught over her loss. These detectives already had their minds made up before even before the interrogation started!! what a shame!

Thank you for letting us know!
Could've sworn she asked for a lawyer
Multiple times.
She did but the video is edited. Just speculating, but they probably spoke her out of it with “you THINK you want a lawyer? We have more questions, and we’d really like to help your husband. Do you want to help your husband?”
Dirty but legal tactic.
Yea definitely dirty. Always ask for lawyer.
You can't say I think I should get a lawyer technically. If you are going to ask for a lawyer you need to stop and tell them you are done talking because you are requesting for a lawyer.

I’ve watched this interrogation several times and i really think she’s innocent.
She is! Okay so Sandra Melgar. There is new DNA evidence of blood from the knife attack, on their safe that matches an unknown MALE not related to Sandra and/or her husband!
"new DNA testing on the safe points in a different direction.
“It did come back to a male who is not my father. It does not have any familial match or ties to us," she said. (Their daughter Rose)
As an ill woman, people naturally don't believe us or our limitations. We live life feeling like we are not enough and a burden to begin with.
These two detectives are really terrible , I’ve never seen an interrogation like this . This poor woman , the minute they came into the room they were bullying and straight up accusing her ……makes me feel sick watching it.
Totally agree! They're smart asses!
Agreed. Even if cops chop it up with you and it’s bullshit just to get on your good side, these guys didn’t even try. Immediately came in guns blazing haha. If she really didn’t do it, this allllll has to be horrific karma for something she did even if it was in a past life.
Agree. I can't watch after a bit, because I feel really sorry for her. Wish she would have demanded an attorney more strongly. She was trying to be too nice and not assertive.
Oh right. And 45 is innocent. Grow some cynicism.

It’s clear these detectives have no concept of chronic illness. He acts shocked she uses a cane, is in constant pain, and uses a jacuzzi frequently. Among other things… she seems to have appropriate responses. I haven’t finished it, but I hope she gets an appeal.

The spouse is always the number one suspect until they can rule them out….it’s literally almost always how most homicide investigations start off when it involves couples where one ends up dead.
As someone that has seizures I can attest to the validity of her not being more panicked or suspicious about waking up and being in the closet. So many times I have woken up or sort of came to in weird places doing weird things. And often I will instantly be embarrassed or become afraid that I have done something awful and just go and hide and fall asleep due to exhausting nature of the seizure itself. I have come to eating candles, nail polish and raw onions that I have chopped up without being conscious. I have taken a bunch of change and pushed them into a container of margarine and took out every slice of bread covered them in countrytime lemonade powder and put it all back in the package. I have walked around naked and then try to take my dog for a walk, thankfully she knew that I was not ok and dug in her heels when I got to the road and woke me up before I was able to walk naked down the street and past my ex husbands house lol. I will operate as though I am in a parallel universe reacting to things only i can see and not take in everything that is actually real and happening.
Anyway I am extremely appalled that this woman could even be considered capable of committing this crime due to the level of strength required to carry out such a horrifically violent crime.
Reminds me of when I used to take Ambien
I can relate somewhat. I don't have seizures, but I have debilitating migraines that I've have become progressively worse over the years. I have to take a several medications daily, throughout the day for the rest of my life just to still experience daily headaches, and about 3 migraines each week. Due to the migraines affecting my brain over the past 20+ years and side effects of the meds, my body constantly feels weak & extremely tired all the time. My joints always ache, as well as my bones (no lie, I can literally feel my thigh bones hurting so badly some days that I have to pound on them to try and get some type of "relief"). My memory is SO bad now that I literally forgot how old my son was the other day.... I was so upset about temporarily not remembering that I had to hold back tears. And on top of those side effects, when a migraine still breaks through, the pain is so intense sometimes that I kid you not, I literally cannot move from my bed. The migraine will wake me up due to the pain being so extreme, but I can't do anything to relieve it because my body is paralyzed from the pain. I can't move my head, arms, anything....I'm literally stuck in whatever position I wake up in until I can slowly move my hand over to reach my cellphone to call my son for help who's in the next room over. And that's usually after laying in pain for hours like that because even trying to call out to him for help would intensify the pain so much that I have passed out at times. So I can definitely sympathize with others who have chronic pain & multiple symptoms that are hard to explain because it's not easy for others to understand unless you've gone through it yourself. And even then, each disease can cause different symptoms for each person. I wish the jury had been more informed about the complexities of Sandra's multiple conditions and tried to put themselves in her shoes. Or thought of someone close to them who probably deals with chronic pain themselves.
I have about 7 seizures a year you are disoriented your muscles tighten up you can hit your head and be completely unconscious you wouldn’t be aware of anything. Mine can last up to ten min. Many times I have not woken up until emts have already arrived pricked my finger and taken my blood pressure. You are very tired and confused afterwards. She easily could have seized and her husband left the back door unlocked someone followed him in. They could have raped her and tied her up and she would not be aware. As far as wrap around bruises if someone is tying you up don’t you think they would be holding you down??? Wtf most awful interview I have seen.
Everything she said made Sense not to mention they continued to question her after she said lawyer. I hope she didn’t end up with a public defender.
So she’s innocent because you can relate to her seizures?
@@DjSicEm she never said that she was innocent because of this. She was relaying her personal stories of how seizures affected her.
I feel so bad for this woman. They set their sights on her right from the beginning of her interrogation. To me her story matched every time they asked her to repeat it and it is ludicrous to believe that a woman in her condition could over power a man that is perfectly healthy and stab him 50 times. I can't believe that a jury would convict her when the prosecution could not find a motive.
Why would a stranger stab her husband 50 times?? Doesn't make any sense. Jmo
@@FLo-jc7ig There are a lot of inconsistencies in this case. Her husband's immediate family thinks she is innocent.
Sandra was in the closet for at least 15 hours probably more, during this time she urinated and defalcated on herself.
Her hands were not tied in a way that she could have done by herself ( the prosecution demonstration was not the same as how she was tied).
The police took Sandra from the crime scene to the station for questioning, they kept her for HOURS, this was AFTER 15+ hours in the closet.
Sandra was on multiple medications for seizures, lupus, RA, ect. Some days she needed a cane to walk.
There were several home invasions in the area during the same time.
The prosecutor had been in some trouble previously and this was her “comeback” trial.
The prosecutor and jury foreman became close friends after the trial and even got together to watch coverage of the case at the prosecutors home....
When the police think you are guilty they get tunnel vision. She should have demanded a lawyer from the beginning. The innocence project has picked up her case. Peace
If she got the first stab close to is heart from behind,which could have happened since he was in his closet getting dressed or undressed, and then very quickly stab him again and again, etc, she very quickly could have gotten the upper hand.
@@FLo-jc7igright, and yet it happens. He could have kept fighting or the killer could have had a vendetta from some earlier time or job and just wanted to make sure the job was done. But I'm undecided on this one. Just found.
It's amazing how strong alcohol and anger can make u. Shoulda took the polygraph sandra 😊
What a disgrace to every aspect of our legal system. From the initial interrogation, the “investigation” which seemed centered on proving how Sandra could have done this and ignoring clear evidence to the contrary, and finally to a jury finding her guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt!!!”.. this case is appalling.
I don’t think she did it the detectives tried to bully her into confessing
It really seems like these men have already made up her mind even before they walked into that room and sat down, that she is guilty. She truly seems like she is in just absolute shock. And who can blame her? She seems truthful.
When the detective starts going, "help me. Help me. I need help. Please help me, Sandra" I feel like he's trying to break her by using what he suggested were likely the last words Sandra would have heard from her husband
The urge to wanna punch him in the throat was getting pretty intense
It sounded kinda creepy to me. He should probably stop doing that. It obviously doesn't work.
This detective is a total creep. I don't like him.
Totally agree. These Detectives suck. They kept talking after numerous times she asked for Lawyer.😢😢
It was fucking disgusting bullying. Like just sadistic tormenting, and he did it for SO LONG.
No words for how they treated her. I really wish she got an attorney.
I have words...Fair...and just
I have Lupus and I can't even get both arms behind my back, someone would have to pull them into place and it would hurt, if I was awake. I don't believe she did this and I think the cops are just bullying her in a roundabout way to make it look like she did. I've seen them treat people better who HAVE murdered someone, giving them cigs drinks and even buying them McDonalds etc. This poor woman could also be experiencing heightened pain in the interview as she is cold and in my experience with Lupus the cold makes the pain worse. I really feel for her.
I have lupus too and there is no way I could commit a murder if I wanted to I would run out of energy after the first blow and she has 3x as many issues as I do!! There's no way she could have done this!
Honestly, I have never believed she killed him.
Same
Good thing you’re not a detective. She was absolutely lying
Waaaa? Another case of if she didn’t do it, who did? Who stays in a jacuzzi for two hours?

@@gilenasimons7081 so 2h in a jacuzzi is your proof?
The cop sounds more like a creep than police😆
The way he asked what she was wearing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same thing
For doing his job?
Cops are creeps!
@@lenymitchelldude grow up you’re like 40
I've never believed she was guilty and it's beyond me how any jury could convict her. The jury had to have been biased against her somehow because there is OBJECTIVE reasonable doubt in this case. It just doesn't make sense.
There's really none. A ridiculous and highly implausible story is not reasonable doubt-that's simply effective counsel.
juries always full of 🤡 uneducated ppl, doesnt surprise me she was found guilty they just got sold a story and they all bought it
@@alabama.worleywhat part of the story is ridiculous or highly implausible?
She’s explained the situation to the best of her knowledge. The detectives need to do a better job. But who can blame them-It’s not like detectives (or any cops) are hard to come by 👀😜
I find it quite interesting that the demeanor of these detectives was instantly abrasive and void of any sensitivity to what very well could have been a horrific murder and assault. They are firing off question after question often not allowing her to finish her answer before asking another question. They are not even utilizing the Reid technique, starting off by building a rapport with her. It's pretty clear to me that they believed she was guilty and were not only not interested in pursuing any other line of investigation, they focused strictly on her and proceeded with a confirmation bias. Whether she is guilty or not, having tunnel vision of this magnitude could cost them a conviction regardless of the real culprit. Smdh
@@nikkikidd8428 are you Kidd-ing ? 👀🤪
Pro tip from a humble country lawyer .......
Walk into the Interrogation room, Demand a hot cup of coffee, And then say you want a lawyer.
Omg this poor woman she just went through losing her husband and going through a nightmare and they treat her like she is guilty right away . Wow this is insane. Have no sympathy whatsoever for how she is feeling right now.
Asking about their relationship is invalid! A couple can have a toxic and even an abusive relationship but that don’t make them murderers! And some of the questions-I would be that one that would tell the detective it wasn’t any of their damn business!
they want to establish motive
Waaaaaaaa???? Do toxic couples feign love Dovie on their anniversary? What is wrong with y’all rooting for her? She sooooooo did it. Ask if toxic couples eat the strawberries and whip cream.
I hate watching this knowing how in shock she is and how the detective just keep asking her questions. She needed to request an attorney and stick to that. 😢😢 Nothing indicates she did it and he did everything for her.
She did ask for a attorney but the police ignored it…honestly how they can call themselves police is shocking.
It sucks bc she did ask multiple times and they made her feel guilty for asking and her trust in the system let her down. They went into this guilty before proven innocent which is ironic bc I thought Texas was alllll about the gud ol merca laws! But apparently misogyny and sexism is a bit more true stereotype. Really sucks. Cuz I have some doubt she’s guilty and reasonable doubt is all it takes for someone to to be not guilty. Or at least that’s what I thought.
I feel the same way you do. This was brutal to watch. They kept harping on her asking the same questions over and over again. She gives the same answers as well. Problem is they can't find a motive.
Why one minute sit in an intimate jacuzzi tub, then BANG!! She just shoots him. Doesn't make sense, but then again most murders don't make sense.
Nah i watched thousands of vids and she appears to be guilty from the beginning
@@ekamarie6632that’s what they always do. Watch all these videos and it’s the same, only usually they can’t get over on an adult. They usually do that to the younger ones. They make them feel guilty for asking for a lawyer, and that….if they don’t tell the police their side of the story, right now…..then that’s it for them, and that the police are on their side and are trying to help. And none of it is true.
Those men were horrible! "Help me Sandra"....disgusting.
The defense then argued a bloody handle of the safe was never tested by law enforcement. Their daughter Rose said in years “new testing on the safe points in different direction”. “It did come back to a male who is not my father. It does not have familial match or ties to us”.
This is infuriating!!! She did NOT kill her husband. This is a case where the District Attorney only cares about winning, when in reality they are obligated to fight for justice. This story disgusts me. And it’s a prime example of how justice isn’t just.
No it’s a perfect example of why they have trained forensic investigators instead of urban pot smokers like you
Wether she did it or not. There is not enough to find her guilty.
This is just the interview, it would only be a small portion of the case against you would really need to look at the other evidence to make a decision.
Yeah. She’s goin down for this. Whatever ur opinion is doesn’t matter she wouldn’t still be In custody otherwise.
I have watched some videos some time ago and read about this case. I came to the conclusion that she must be innocent.

Wait one second! Her date of birth was censored out, but her home address wasn't? Am I the only one who finds this odd?
Shes in jail. Not a problem now.
People can do something with dob but not e address
Well it’s gonna be news that someone was murdered in a house?
They did find some evidence that suggests someone else was in the home they found two dna types that did not match anyone in the family as well as a backpack in the garage that didnot belong to the victims Sandra also had a long history of seizures I do not think she did this
Yeah and the back pack had the family's belongings in it like video console... Like a thief packed it... And a white girls tee shirt floating in the jacuzzi that she said was not hers. How could they not test the blood on the safe???
I feel bad for all the comments. This case is irking me BADLY. “It did come back to a male who is not my father. It does not have any familial match or ties to us," -Liz Melgar, daughter. There was blood on the Melgars safe handle that was never tested. In 2022 in an interview, that’s when Liz said this.
I firmly believe Jamie left the door open when he went to check what the dogs were barking at, and THATS why there was no signs of forced entry. My theory is the intruder held Jamie at gun/knife point and took him where he did. Or maybe Jamie tried to hide & was found.
I do not believe Sandra did it, or at least not alone.
It's good to read something from family vs just opinions (mine included). That has nudged me into delving further into this case than just my usual fuming and p*ssed off comments (albiet, this is the FIRST time I've actually had more than reasonable doubt, and not just raging at the mideveal REID system and a huge amount of ego driven, ignorant, arsehole US cops.
A lot of people that have been knocked unconscious do NOT remember what happened BEFORE..
Sorry , I do not think she killed him..
@@catherinegrace6406 oh god yeah, I agree with that. “Get knocked out, don’t remember anything before that happened.” I just don’t fully believe she did it, or didn’t do it.
one small thing i noticed that i think is telling is that when they asked her "how was the chair blocking the door?" she said "i dont know, i just know he had to move it." an innocent person trapped in the closet probably wouldn't know, so either she was just smart and quick-witted enough to answer that way, or she is really innocent.
I believe her. Not done with the video yet; but how they told her the doors were locked and she said “okay” as if she were spitballing with the cops on theorizing what happened. Can’t believe they still talked to her after she said she wanted a lawyer… couldn’t the case have been thrown out because of that?
I don’t know about throwing the case out but her lawyer could of had everything after that thrown out. Had she confessed for example it could of been thrown out.
There's a world of difference between "Gee willikers, it sure would be mighty nice if my lawyer was around for this" plus continuing to answer questions, and "I refuse to answer any more questions without the guidance of my rightful legal counsel"
responses to interrogation questions are inadmissable after invoking their right to a lawyer. if a person were to say "I want a lawyer, but by the way I'm guilty" that would not be "thrown out".
You also have the right to remain silent which she did not use
Not thrown out, but some of the evidence can be thrown out of what they asked her unless they read her the Miranda rights again.
I hope she is doing as well as she can be and her husband is resting peacefully. This case really sucks.
Yeah, it does. It really sucks when women premeditatedly stab their husbands to death, especially after cunningly getting him lulled into a state of pure vulnerability, stripped of clothing in his own home, running in fear for his gun. That really had to suck. Then, when the murderous woman who is an atrocious liar creates a ludicrous and implausible story, with the evidence stacked against her, proven judicially to have committed the crime, the vast majority of people still believe the most outrageous lies without question simply because she claims them. This case truly sucks.
I hope she's in jail. Her husband is deceased
@@alabama.worley What lies are you referring to? I haven't gotten through the complete docu yet but so far I'm not hearing lies. From what I've heard so far there isn't anything that points to her guilt. Her seizure history would be easy enough to check out both medically and with family.
@@debbinz5108 Check out Pat Brown's analysis if you're lazy. If you're truly interested in the facts of the case, they're available online and tell a clear story. Her verdict has been upheld judicially, with several key components highlighted by the state within her most recent appeal. A biased narration isn't a source-it's literal entertainment.
@@alabama.worley No need to be snarky, as I said I'd just tuned in and was about halfway through. Oh, and I did search online. The first article I stumbled on was "New Evidence...." Hardly new, agree?
She seems just done, she’s been cooperative and hasn’t really been super defensive and also has answered everything fairly quickly considering. It doesn’t sound or feel like she did it. She sounds tired, she doesn’t even sound like she’s afraid of going to jail, which watching so many until this one, she acts a lot different.
She sounds heart broken to me but that's just my opinion
Not to the trained eye and ear. She's incredibly deceptive.
@@hannypressley343 I agree.
@@alabama.worley I have no idea if she did it or not, but being around all sorts of people, in many type of jobs, working in hospitals, the government, and so on…I may not know 100% but if I knew her personally, I’m 99% certain I could tell. (Like when you know someone has a secret and you know them personally, you can totally tell when someone faking a smile, not really laughing, fake crying, etc. I think life experiences and actually paying attention to what’s happing (like an artist seeing the whole picture and not just letting their eyes glaze over) being professionally trained or just paying attention as your life goes on can help heaps to understand someone’s “tells” or just change in personality. From this video and viewpoint alone, none of us on here know, it’s impossible to know for sure. We can guess and have our own opinions, but no one but her, the one dead, and the evidence can be more than 99% certain.
I think she is innocent however she just had no reaction to this. Either she was in shock or extremely tired. I feel like I have to reach down her throat and pull her words out. Very frustrating. I pray for her and all people falsely imprisoned. This justice system needs a serious overhaul.
I have watched this interrogation a few times, and have never believed that she did this. I think she was in shock.
She is not acting like a guilty individual. This poor woman❤ God help her
Saying you think you need a lawyer is not enough for the cops to be forced to end the interview. Many decisions have made it clear that you have to explicitly ask for one. I don't recall her being mirandized though.
Close to the end she did state she wanted a lawyer and the one detective was still asking her questions.
They won’t be able to use that then
@@Tanks_In_Space I assumed that was the case. She should have asked invoked her right to attorney before answering any questions. She should have known that she was going to be a prime suspect in this case.
@@83RobotoI dont think she knew that until late in the interview
@@83Roboto early on she said i need a lawyer.
I’ve watched about her story before and I don’t think she did it. I have never seen the interrogation until now. Thank so much StrangerStories
I don’t think she did it.
Those Detectives should have lost their job.
This is so heartbreaking.
I believe her and i hope they are able to bring up the DNA, and find whom ever did this.
I have always ALWAYS thought Sandra was innocent - she needs to be freed NOW!! I read a comment below stating that the fact that Sandra is in prison and Casey Anthony is out walking free and making money from her despicable crime is f*cking mindboggling!!!
ABSOLUTELY!!
Sounds to me like they’re trying to trap her. This is ridiculous. The woman just lost her husband.😊
interesting emoji choice
@@mattshu Lol right
Why isn't she inconsolable then
*murdered. Yes, we trap murderers. Her story is ridiculous and completely disproven.
@@mop161I thought the same. I’d be in hysterics, filled with horror and bewilderment. She’s overall very calm. But, I know people handle grief differently. I know.
These detectives are bullying this woman. Losers.
She asked for a lawyer! Why did these cops not stop?
How tragic, her desire to help find out what happened to the love of her life, outweighed her self preservation.
Jeez, these cops are manipulative af. I can't see anything that shows her guilt.
The fact that they continued to harass her after she asked for a lawyer is insane.
She asked for a lawyer already. I can't understand why these detectives continued to question her.
Okay so I was wondering the same thing, and I think the loop hole is she has to say “I want a lawyer” not “ I THINK I want a lawyer” they have to be point blank . Not sure if I’m correct but I think that’s what’s happening here
She needed to ask for a lawyer, say she wasn't going to talk unless and lawyer was present, and stop talking.
I remember Matt Orchard's video about this case. He remained inconclusive, and I agreed with him at the time: from his video, I don't understand how a jury managed to find her guilty beyond any reasonable doubt. I had nothing but doubt after watching it. I'll see how this one tackles the issue.
Well, what do you think after watching this?
@@jesseerickson662 same as before. I think there's nothing but reasonable doubt here. But the trial also happened in Texas, so my standards of expectation are quite low (still second to Florida though).
Her conviction is HORRIFIC... I have the SAME medical diagnosis. Hashimotos, epilepsy, and lupus. It can cause EVERYTHING she's exhibiting from memory loss, headache,to the bruising. How she could have tied herself up so well is a mystery as well... all in all it's heartbreaking!
HOLY COW! These. Detectives are. Monsters!!!
Nothing worse than a southern detective that thinks you're guilty
I recall seeing this interview A LONG time back and I have NEVER belueved she did this. Ever. Never will. Its not ALWAYS someone the victim knows and its not ALWAYS the wife or husband, yall!! It should be SUPER ILLEGAL to be even allowed to QUESTION someone without evidence!
Considering that they did pretty much imply after about a half hour that they think she might have done it, it's no surprise she would be defensive and think she isn't being believed. The cops should have waited much, much later to show their hand like that. Now everything she says and her entire demeanor can be chalked up to losing her husband while also being scared that the cops think she did it. If she really did do it, they gave her too many reasons to act the way she is.
So are the cops saying she tied herself, both hands,at the back???
Also I read somewhere where it says the police said there was no forced entry and yet the garage door was open and that’s the door they used often.
The door to their bedroom was blocked by a chair from outside, so she staged that too?
Of all the vases I’ve “studied”, this one has always had me wondering. I have a lot of the questions that others have. Has anyone considered there might have been someone else involved? Maybe she had it set up?
I don’t want it to be her. I certainly don’t want an innocent person in prison. Something just doesn’t add up. 😑
I'm torn... My intuition says she's innocent but there's something I cannot place my finger on about this entire tragedy
This interrogation is disgusting! After an hour I would have said ‘I’ve done with this shit’ charge me or let me go and get me a lawyer! This end bit is inhumane and thoroughly disgusting 🤬
PLEASE tell me this injustice is being addressed by the innocence project or another organization? This is why I by FAR fear the police more than I look to them for protection
Oh my gosh if I hear that detective asking her to help him 1 more time I think I need some help..! 😱
If i was ever capable of murder, it would have been those two detectives right there at the end!! They had my blood boilin!!
I literally fastforwarded through it like halfway through 😆 they're just torturing a poor woman who just lost her husband 🥲
@@slinginlead6647if you’re so incapable of murder then why do two men asking questions that’s not your business cause you to want to murder them?
Anyone else feel like this woman is in shock during this interrogation?
Shock she's going to be held accountable for her horrific actions, she certainly does
No, being careful and coming up with lies
-SHOCK-
Worried and nervous ✅
No
No. Just further proof of women covering for other women. Y’all can’t take accountability for anything you do huh?
Yeah, I don't think she did it and never have.
Why are these detectives treating her like this right away? And then asking about what she was wearing like her underwear? Makes him sound like a weirdo. I would have been devastated if this happened to me with these detectives after going through the worst thing that’s ever happened. And yet we got people like OJ and Casey Anthony walking around like 🤷🏻♀️
Oh lord gonna add this to a watch later playlist
She specifically said she wanted a lawyer and they continued to ask questions! I do not believe she killed her husband then tied herself up with a chair outside her closet!!!
She said maybe I need a lawyer or I should probably get a lawyer … she has the right to remain silent and she didn’t. I don’t know why.
Exactly, you MUST clearly state you want a lawyer, not maybe I need one, or do I need one. It must be, "I want a lawyer now" and STOP talking entirely.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this woman didn’t do it.
I'm like really sad if she didn't do it because she's in prison and that really sucks and sometimes cops don't want to do their job so they will go with the easiest way out and that is bullshit
@@hannypressley343Sadly you're right....I can't think of anything worse, than being innocent in prison.
@@hannypressley343Well, the odds are highly in favor of her being a deceptive woman who killed her husband.
I honestly think this poor woman is innocent
I'm very curious of what evidence was used at her trial to convince a jury to convict this lady... I didn't think she did it, but when Stranger Stories said, "All of the evidence was circumstantial and she couldn't tie herself up the way she was tied with her physical and health conditions", I was and still is convinced that she didn't do it!!!
32 years!!??? Where is the grief, and mourning?
I have seen several documentaries about this crime and read up on the case. I will watch your video but it’s my opinion that there was enough reasonable doubt that she should not have been convicted. My reasons for believing why she shouldn’t have been convicted are too many to list in this format, however I am openminded so I’ll see if your video gives me reason to change my mind. 1:09
Man this is heartbreaking to watch. I pray she is free soon.
This is why I would never ever speak to the police without an attorney. I mean, G-d help me if anything like this happened to my spouse, but there’s no way in hell I’d be a sacrificial lamb for law enforcement just so they can close a case. Come at me if you want but this poor woman is STILL in prison despite there being massive holes in the state’s case against her, big enough to drive a freaking tank brigade through, but there’s also DNA that indicates her actual innocence.
The DNA doesn't indicate her innocence though. It just isn't hers or his. There are a million ways DNA could show up on an earring, brushing past somebody too close at the store and it sticks to your hair then transfers to the earring. That DNA is entirely inadmissible because it doesn't belong to any suspect, and she's the only suspect there is. If she didn't do it herself, she absolutely without a doubt is involved with whomever did.
@@BusinessSkrub That’s a very good point. What I read was it was DNA from the safe where there was also blood from the victim so… I dunno man. It’s a wild case for sure.
@@BusinessSkrub How can you say she's absolutely without a doubt involved? Is it not possible that this crime was committed by a random stranger?
@@jesseerickson662 isn't that the point of the investigation? They didn't find any other person who possibly could have done it. She's the only suspect. So she must be involved somehow
A big Oy Vey to that!
This woman is definitely telling the truth !
These detectives are very good at their job
How many time does she ask for a lawyer, and they still kept interrogate her?
Also, a polygraph is something no one should ever take. Its been proven time and time again that they're bogus form of lie detection.
This interrogation should be thrown out.
I really believe that she is innocent. You will probably come to the same conclusion, when you watch and read more on this case. May god help her. ❤️🌹
Nah she's guilty
She wasn't even glad when detective said neighbor had cameras
I am torn. Usually, I can spot a guilty party from the first few sentences. I am 43 mins in, and I am just now wavering from innocent to maybe guilty. I also have to consider the drinks, the feel good vibes, the buzz... The medical history. IDK. I will have to watch a little later when I can concentrate more.
It is so difficult to tie up your own hands in such a way that someone else could not get it undone without a pair of scissors. It's almost impossible. Unless you're some kind of crazy knot expert
There are knots that are super loose when put on and can be cinched/tightened. That alone is enough for me to think she did do it to herself.
It was shown in court how it could be done to yourself. The same knots.
God you’re so gullible wow I’ll probably hear about you
If her hands & legs were tied together & 2 people tried to untie her & were unable to, that tells me she probably wasn't the person who tied her.. so either she was tied up by the person that she conspired with to commit the crime or she was a surviving victim of the crime which is rare to survive a murder
I've never seen cops not stop the interrogation after a person asked for a lawyer
Got to say I want a Lawyer.
How do they get away with continuing to question her after she said she wanted a lawyer so many times?
She requested an attorney and the detective ignored it and immediately asked her more questions.
She asked for an attorney specifically for the hypothetical polygraph in the future. She has to ask for one "right now," or "before I keep talking to you." I think she's innocent, but just mentioning getting a lawyer for the polygraph or asking, "should I get a lawyer?" doesn't cut it. Have to say, "I want a lawyer now." I can't believe a jury found her guilty!!!!!!
I’ve watched her interview before and I’ll never believe she’s guilty.
This is crazy!
She asked for a lawyer multiple times!
This case will be overturned on appeal.
She's been in prison for like 11 years so no it wasn't overturned on appeals! Now the innocence project has her case
@@anonymouspeople4896 I stand corrected
This is super frustrating. She JUST had hip surgery! She has seizures! She falls! This is absolutely crazy. The DNA didn’t match anybody in the family! What more do you need!!!! This is HORRIBLE! Poor lady. Innocent! She asked for a lawyer way to much.
She asked for a lawyer 3 times and they continued to pressure her. Her story never changed. Their interrogation of Sandra was cruel and torturous at the end of this totally ridiculous excuse of an interrogation. I didn’t see the court hearing on this, but I don’t believe she did this. I don’t know how she could have overpowered him enough to stab him 20 plus times then bash his head in. He fought and had dozens of defensive wounds on his hands. I would love to see what the jury saw and heard that convinced them beyond a REASONABLE doubt that she did this.
