Scott did it! He erased the trail camera, and he said it was a lost gun before anyone knew he was supposed to have been shot! He's big enough to move his body. He placed that bullet in the house. He framed his mother. The other 2 children, idk , chris on drugs. Smh! Amanda the only one innocent and melody. NO PROOF!
She has a lot of narcissistic personality traits. For example when she was describing all her siblings she has something negative to say about all of them but when she describes herself, she says she likes to think she’s loyal and caring blah blah but didn’t want to talk about any of her issues
@@manuelabolton6748I think that’s generally the way most parents do it, with understanding last spouse to die, leaves everything to the adult kids, measured out equitably.
What is wrong with these children?!? They are all spoiled brats. This child here is constantly contradicting herself. Saying her Dad was really warm and loving but then a minute later saying he’s very closed off and hard to get close to. I mean which is it?!? This family is so messed up. They all need counseling. Severely!!
We are not asking perfect, we are just asking that they effing grow up! They are baby crying in the court framing the mother that worked while their father was in college and law school, and who brought them up with a lot of affection, and a clean home, created holiday spirits, and made it possible for the father to be always ready and professional at his work, she was a partner of his occupation for decades! Before she was set up, and the kids were grown up! That’s what’s normal and all these people judging Are part of the Scott cheerleading group and they want to frame Melody, and I bet they are not one order better than what she is …
This case is so sad. These two adults needed to divorce years ago. Staying together for the kids, grandkids, or the financials tortures everyone in the family. His job was stressful and he was carrying everyone. Two parents staying together when they were no longer in love created this mess.
People do it all the time, they just don’t have affairs. They live with cranky husband and ditchy wives for kids and money. It’s called commitment. Life isn’t greener.
@@kimberlyprice4803 it was interesting when Amanda said she didn’t know why they got that house. Melody was high maintenance. Sometimes working just for a house makes a father sacrifice his own kids wellbeing.
This girl jas convinced me that she has the holier than thou attitude and willing to throw anyone under the bus to save her mom even her siblings. How sad to be so delusional.
Amanda can only say things that her mom told her. Scott was a big help. Gary and Meloney couldn't run that farm without Scott's help. I'd have underlining anger towards my Mom if she dated my Auntie's ex boyfriend. Its perfectly normal.
Plus, Melody didn't appreciate her life or her kids. She resented Gary and the kids. She should have appreciated Scott and all of the work he did at the farm and in the home. If she were paying someone to do this work, then her whole attitude would definitely change.
That’s not narcissism… a certain immaturity but not narcissism; many Parents share with their kids some good and bad, once our kids grow, we don’t have to hide everything. They’re not stupid and they can see a lot of things! The Scott cheerleading group keep infantilizing the children, they are adults, they’ve been adults for 20 to 30 years! They have responsibilities of their own! These middle-age man have never grown up!
@@susanwixom8978 According to Scott- dad discussed marital issues and finance with all the kids. My kids do not know my finances and won’t until I pass. All listed out in a safe place.
@@marym.9075 her narcissistic mother is crying for herself, bc her daughter is sympathetic to her. At first I thought she was showing emotion for her daughter, then I realized it was for herself.
This girl is unstable and not credible. What wife makes calls to Rusty making sure he does amd says things or doesnt say things. Melody is guilty in my books
Well, considering that you guys are just gossipy cheerleaders for the Scott team and you don’t raise yourself so evidence, we are not surprised you don’t know to read people well either!
You’re just part of the Scott cheerleading gossipy side who want to frame Melody with proper evidence… The doubt in this case is exploding! Amanda is making herself a victim a bit, but she is, she’s the youngest, therefore, the most resented by all her siblings. She was the baby who got away with much because the parents were tired by her turn… Stop projecting!
I think it's disgusting how they look down on Scott because he worked in shops. She said she works at a jewellery store.......does that make you better princess? He WORKED on the farm and always did work by the sounds of it. It's chris who stole money and took the piss! He admitted to using his dad's credit card with no permission. Absolutely no one would benefit from his death apart from the mother, this girl needs to open her eyes. Also hate posh people saying mummy and daddy, she says Scott shouldn't be living with mummy n daddy, how about you speak like an adult. This girls been fed things constantly by her mother she doesn't even have her own opinion, she didnt witness anything. How can siblings not know anything about the other, where they lived, what the studied, etc, whole things weird.
She didn’t imply that at all! She is doing a bit too much of self-pity, but on the other hand, I think she felt it was her turn to tell her siblings how much they suck! And how her life was turned upside down … The issue is that Scott didn’t have any personal ambition, and had odd jobs, staying a few months here and there on something, but not really creating for himself any form of career, he didn’t go to college, he had substance abuse history before he went to the army. He was not particularly, successful or an example in the army either, and abandoned that too, and he worked the farm very little as we can see on different occasions! In fact, it was more Melody and Gary, who kept those animals fed and with water… Cared for… And Scott did what he wanted when he wanted in an unreliable way And still loafed off his parents … having a grand life of shooting and drinking with friends, and not really, assuming any responsibility over his own future… He could have tried to make a business out of the ranch, or something else even if it was with the help of the dad, but he created nothing! Both “boys” were too spoiled by their daddy, they didn’t grow up! This whole family it’s a family of people who didn’t grow up due to, In great part, the fact they came to have money but not much structure from childhood, and the southern culture of infantilizing people, thinking the man can do everything and women have to be proper homemakers and not much else; a gossiping culture which worries so much about what others do or say, as shown in all the video threads of this case…
@maluribeiro68 lol I feel like you're a friend of the murderer to be this worked up and feel they know so much lol. Soending years in jobs to me are not odd jobs, either way she murdered him and she's trying to pin it on her own child and take down any others to save herself. She's GUILTY and she's a vile, disrespectful old witch!
@KH-fu7gb 11 is a bit different to 5 of you, lol, Amanda seemed to know nothing unless it was put in her head by her mother. Gary should have clearly divorced her and got rid 20 years ago. He, for whatever reason, didn't feel he wanted to etc, being miserable wasn't a life he deserved and when he finally decided he's done she killed him, I do believe she was likely poisoning him too. She wouldn't have got as much money in a divorce because of cheating, whole things very sad. Yes, all the kids used Gary, but he let them get away with it.
It seems Amanda doesn’t like the facts of her dad financially supporting her siblings, but she accepted a brand new car from her dad, didn’t she?! Melody has all the motive: Money, lovers, and she hated her husband financially supporting her kids too.
I think she felt that way partially because her mother complained about Gary giving money to her siblings. Sounds to me like her mother pitted the kids against each other. That is disgusting.
@@misteegraham4172 she could have just been boasting about her ability to get close to her father. Like “he is so hard to get close to with OTHER people but not me”
Melody killed Gary. Then she sponged off Amanda. During that time I feel Melody fed Amanda a lot of negative junk about her siblings. Bet Amanda did not know Rusty and Melody talked in June ,just before the murder, about marrying Rusty after a period of grieving.
WHY would U talk about a Marriage to another Man even saying how Long she should grieve before getting Married again…. That Rusty wasn’t half the Man Gary was and for sure not the Smartest and sure NOT better looking….Just SAD if she HATED Him that much get a Divorce but She Loved money MORE….He was WORTH MORE DEAD…
Why is Amanda not mentioning her Mom’s affairs ? Saying, we all had issues, but that’s all. Her tears are a little put on. She wipes tears I don’t see .
She fake crying she blaming her siblings how about your mom really I believe she’s rusty because of how she only loved her and hated her siblings and mom hated Gary kids they need to do a dna
Totally agree. DNA test for all children soon, if not already. Must know if Melody and Gary are their parents. Yes, test for both parents. Make sure siblings are biological siblings. Yes, they are still parents and yes, they are still siblings even if not biological.
It's normal to look for missing weapons if a middle-aged male who has access to guns is missing on a large property, its the same as checking the garage to see if the car is turned on.
@@jennibarnes140 I think it triggered his memory of the oddness of seeing that strange gun in a drawer. Scott’s mind immediately put 2 and 2 together. And WHY would Amanda first go upstairs looking for her dad when he never went upstairs, only downstairs or main floor???
Really ? Maybe if he were depressed or they thought he was suicidal. According to family he was not. This looking for the gun on that morning of July 5 was odd to me. For example... let's say you cannot find your kid ? Are you going to stop and make sure his binky in the living room ? No. The timing was very odd.
I believe Scott was in his 20's when this happened in 2018.. He wasn't middle age. He and his brother Chris probably didn't trust their mother. She told Scott she wished Gary was dead, and Gary mentioned to Chris that Melody could be trying poison him.
Has anyone else noticed shes not answering some of the questions. She diverts to another situation. He asked what kid was close to what parent. She totally changed the subject
Amamda: Let's see, remember to say Chris is an alcoholic? Check. Did I mention Scott does very little and has no friends? Check. And Emily? Oh, she could never buy her house on her own. Check.
@@SaraONeillDesignRight?! She’s a textbook narcissist like her Mother. Change the subject instead of answering the question and admit you aren’t close to your Father and you are closest to your Mother out of everyone.
I wonder how Amanda feels about her mom financially supporting her lovers, and now knowing her dad either knew or suspected that, maybe that would speak to why Gary rathered money going to the kids vs. Melody's lovers.
@annebosworth7048 I don't see her as evil. I feel bad for her that she believed her mom and didn't stick with her siblings. There's no good outcome to this mess.
She sure made it a point to make sure she mentioned everyone's faults and to highlight her attributes. This lawyer just loved that and his "sweet" sure came out.
@@susie5973 she called out everyone else’s sin-mentioned twice that her brother got his girlfriend pregnant before they married, but had no problem going to live with her boyfriend unmarried
That’s not true she said her sister was a great woman and great mom, Chris was friendly - life of the party - but let’s face it, Chris was financially a mess and problems with drinking a open issue- they got along but Scott was different and non productive- siblings get resentful when adult siblings live off parents and the parents openly tell them of being used, lied to and hiding things like a marriage.
@@noreengardner1075 It’s the parents decision on whether they want to help th more needy kids. This dynamic is not unusual in families. I have seen it with mine and my husbands.
Scott wasnt holding up emergency services at the end of the driveway. He met them at the road/driveway. The fire truck couldn't make it up driveway so the crew hopped on to the ambulance. Chris was in shock sitting on the back of the truck.
She does in some ways but strangely chose a husband who had been convicted of embezzlement. She couldn't have honestly thought they would qualify for a home loan and clearly knew from the beginning that she would need her father to co-sign on the loan. She wasn't truthful about that..
Amanda's testimony was sad, I feel sorry for her, but I do believe that she has doubts about her mother's innocence. She is not in a good place, now that all her siblings are estranged from her. I hope they reconcile when Melody is found guilty. Her testimony led me to believe that if she is found guilty that she will accept that verdict and move on with her life.
If you look at all the evidence and I have watched the in trial from the beginning, and I do not believe the prosecution prove their case that Melody did this crime.
@@marthahalsey-on4bnI am totally convinced she did it and Rusty is informed with 3 phone calls with Rusty on July 3 -4 equal 114 minutes all between 10 pm and 2 Am. Then Rusty said she said He’s on the burn pile! These calls were longer than any other phone call or group of calls ever and she never called him at 2 am other than this one time. She’s without doubt in my mind. If she had an accomplice…she still is guilty.
They bring in legal commentators who know nothing about the trial 😳👎🏽. Chris was already investigated very very thoroughly. He has a very strong alibi I.e caught on camera elsewhere during the time of the murder. There are also 3 key pieces of evidence that remove any reasonable doubt that Melody did it 🥴.
Do they know where he was the day before? I'm assuming it would take many hours for the body to be completely disintegrated.The day he was found was not the day he died.
Agreed. I generally really like the commentators on Court TV but the ones that have been commenting on this case seem to be convinced the brother did it
They do that so that the viewers become emotionally invested and glued to the trial coverage. If everyone agreed she was guilty it would seem like an open n shut guilty verdict and people wouldn't tune in for the commentary or the trial coverage, and might just occasionally tune in to check to see if there's a verdict watch, if at all .
The fact she brought her children into her marital issues and affairs, what a narcissistic monster. Most mothers protect their children and will fall on a sword for them, here, she is blaming her own son for his father’s death. Amanda needs a lot of help. The poor kids are so skrewed up
Exactly, I am shocked most of the kids were college dropouts considering their father had a brilliant mind and a high level of intelligence, education, accolades and accomplishments 😯😯. The one who finished college has a communications degree of all things 😐. Shame.
@@tmcurly Seems the father was too busy working to give the mother all the material things she wanted, Then she cheats on him. So he buries himself further into his work. Probably didn’t have the drive to invest in his kids. Sad all around.
@@tmcurly I’m hesitant to say this on a live chat. Because not every person is a professional. But I agree. Usually parents who are professionals encourage their kids academically.
They knew they were going to cry. Not sure why they bother with mascara. That's how you wipe tears when you don't want mascara streaks on your face. Her sister did it too. All these women do it on the stand. They should just keep it real & skip the make up. Then they don't have to worry about their make up when they know it is subject likely to make them cry. Vanity all socioeconomic backgrounds.
They did. Amanda is helping to muddy the waters about reasonable doubt because she knows her Mom murdered her father. Amanda knows and co-conspired with Melody and Rusty to cover it up because Amanda thinks she’ll be rewarded my Melody if she’s found not guilty.
Plus, Melody said some weird stuff knowing she was being recorded from jail…” the orchestra” she said a couple other things I can’t think of, but they were riddles. Meaning, she’s been trying to create some kind of storyline on the sideline with her daughter and loverboy.
Still keeping an open mind about whether Melody is guilty, if she had help or if someone else did it, but theres no doubt she destroyed this family with her flagrant and very open dalliances including bringing one lover to her daughters wedding which I have to say blew my mind. Innocent or guilty theres no denying she’s a very selfish woman who only ever thought about herself.
I find it telling that mom showed not one iota of emotion when the other 3 children testified. I would think any mother would be emotional watching her children in pain.
Its clear these two were close. I find it hard any of them would support her after everything she did to their father and essentially destroying the family. She’s the cause of all the fractious relationships they now have.
As she should! The room for doubt in this case is exploding, and in fact, things lead way more toward two other potential killers who tried to frame their mother, Truly shameful, and truly shameful that most people in this case videos threads are cruel people who don’t base themselves on evidence, but on condemnation of a woman based on conclusions they make up…
A huge nail to her testimony: The prosecutor asks her are you biased towards your mom? She says, no I wouldn't think that and that I would support either parent. The golden question was then asked to her: how about to Chris or Scott? Her response just killed her testimony. Obviously, she is biased towards her mom. To me it sounded a lot like she is holding the lack of communication against her brothers, for choosing not to talk to her. Therefore, I feel the strong bias is affecting her testinony, and I do not find her to be credible.
I don't believe Scott would kill he's dad , if you think by killing his dad would benefit him NO. because that would mean he would have to ask Melody for the help , and that's not going to happen for sure .
And the way she talks about her siblings… especially in the jail calls. Melody Did it!!!! So Amanda is mad that her dad supported her siblings but mom can use Dads money for her lovers though 🤦♀️. The dad probably hoped that she would stop cheating and tried in hopes things would change.
@noellelavelle3379 Hardly. He attempted but no luck. I think he was the type of person who would rather stay w this cheating ho rather than being alone. He was attempting to monkey branch and have someone else before being able to leave his marriage, but it didn't work out. Becauseost women don't want someone w so much baggage, still married and living together. Most decent people refuse or are reluctant to be one involved w someone who is still married and living together.
Brainwashed by the mother. This is the only child she was able to manipulate. The other 3 were resentful at her because of the way she disrespected their dad.
Both daughters are tbf. The other one has her nose. So sad. The mother really destroyed what was once a tight knit family group. Now the siblings aren’t all talking to each other and some somewhat despise their mother for what she did to their father with her numerous affairs.
Sounds like both mom and dad were busy helping Amanda have a bad opinion of her brothers. All hearsay about Chris “stealing” money. Scott WORKED on the farm. He earned being paid or given money.
Not hearsay, they have texts Gary sent to Chris, and Chris admits he stole money. Scott was ordering custom golf clubs the 3rd and had issues with parents- basically losers.
Scott worked on the farm. None of us truly know how much work he did. But he must have done enough for them to keep giving him money and giving him their debit and credit cards. So I think Amanda is just trying to cover for her mother. The mom is guilty and we all can see that after the evidence that has been admitted. She sure cried when Amanda was on the stand but had NO emotion when her other daughter or 2 sons were up there. And she sure looked mad when Mrs Martha Jane Barton got on the stand. I'm very proud of MJ for coming forward about the gun. It just helped seal Melody's fate!!!!!
He admitted he used his dad's credit card with zero permission, he sounds a nightmare, wonder where he's been living and surviving since without daddy's money paying everything from bills to his kids stuff and a wedding ring for his fiance!! That's totally crazy to me.
What I can’t get past is this cold woman (Melody) who obviously committed this crime is trying to put her sons in prison for something she did. All the kids clearly loved their dad. They needed him. She is a monster.
@lacylnn1981 just hope she gets guilty, horrible feeling she might get away with it. This girl has zero opinions of her own, mummy's fed it all to her. Complete denial, a religious person that I believe would lie still lol, shock horror.
Every family has problems and drama. She paints herself as so perfect and the drama was all with her siblings. She set herself against her siblings and felt superior to them, but the mother is ultimately the one who imploded this family.
It is getting harder and harder to tell who’s being genuine and who’s exaggerating. Clearly the mother isn’t the only one with motive. Still not even sure if she is guilty how she could have done it without help which also opens up the chance she had nothing to do with it. Yes, she cheated and was very open and flagrant about it, but that doesn’t mean it had to be her even if she detested him. If anything because of her cheating she might benefit the least from his death.
Her worked hard on that farm. Melody was doing the neighborhood, Father busy Lawyer. Scott ran the farm and had credit card as her pay. Father told Scott do give Melody the credit card. He did not cut up Scott.
I think this is a very resentful daughter… I live in a very similar family dynamic and it’s my youngest sister speaking and also is the same narcissistic, manipulative mother situation… mom is guilty
Scott in earlier testimony said he went to the basement to check for the cpap machine and also to see if the rifle was there which would indicate if his dad went hunting. When he saw the rifle was there, it made him think of the gun he had seen in that drawer and he felt drawn to see if it was still there.
I find it odd or interesting I guess- that Amanda is the only one who thinks Daddy helping his adult children or anyone over 18 asking for help was a moral wrongdoing. What a strange, cold woman. The mother (Melody)only cried during Amanda's testimony... seems to me they're obviously the closest as Amanda is the baby. Scott having PTST from going to Iraq is no reason to blame him.
Oh you can see that she is closest to her mother and she is doing everything she can to get her mother off even if that takes putting the blame on her own brother. She is just like her mother !
Apparently, Amanda’s husband also had financial difficulties and was possibly, relying on her or her parents. That came out on some texts conversation presented in court. Why she thinks she’s above her siblings?
I think that Rusty was trying to talk to Amanda but Amanda was avoiding him. Rusty told Melanie that Chad’s cell phone was disconnected and she replied: nothing new or it doesn’t surprise me. I didn’t know about the child support… Thanks for the info.
Mama has lived with her since she’s been on bail. I am more than sure her and her daughter have rehearsed what she will say on the stand. Her mom probably told her to say….” I do not recall that.” “ I do not remember that” but she remembered suddenly that her brother said “I’m going to look for a missing gun!” I agree with 99% of society, SCOTT had no motive. Why would he kill his dad when he was about to go on a beautiful weekend vacation with him and his daughters? If he killed him, that vacation would not happen, it did not happen! Not to mention, he was living basically rent free and daddy gave him all the financial needs he needed. If his dad died, you know his mother would not do anything for him, especially financially! He had no motive he had no reason.
You think maybe dad told Scott his free loading was getting old? Don't canonize the free loading son quite yet, while demonizing that evil mother. I see no evidence she did it.
So Suri thinks Melody should be acquitted and Scott should go free--and they will all live happily ever after? He says this poor family has gone through enough? What about justice for Gary???
But also if Scott killed him why would he mention anything about a gun. That would be drawing the suspicion to himself. Maybe he thought he was suicidal and that’s why he was looking for a missing gun
I’m, so I’m blown away that you guys obviously have not been following this trial closely! Your guest spoke and said that Amanda said this is a family that doesn’t use guns, that’s not a true statement. Also, if you knew the brothers personally, he lived there, the mother had always been nasty to her husband and told him she hoped he would die a horrible death alone. The Dad has shown his grown kids what their mother has said, they knew the mother hated the dad! That makes sense to me that Scott would make the statement about the gun! He said he had a bad feeling that his mother did something. That’s not odd behavior! He was in shock, angry, confused, suspicious, people have their own way of dealing with trauma!
Gary was a cheater ungrateful controlling famous lawyer and clan head. Many marriages lead to a sort of hate due to A feeling of entrapment. While he grew, he forgot M helped him through college & law school, and was a partner in his success, M dropped college pregnant By him and had no college degree, or career of her own, no skills… A woman who perhaps didn’t develop to her potential or mature as much, but it’s because of the kind of society she’s in as well! And a life of caring for others and not growing herself…
Melody said in her interrogation that Amanda was just like her and that’s why they were so close. Amanda is identical to her mother and as greedy as her mother.
I think there's anger in every one of us, but not to the point of murder.She's the baby.She probably got spoiled more by mama and she can't see no fault in Sir, I'm sure she's destroyed. Her lost her but she can't paint it that it's all of her siblings. Mistakes terrible situation , if the mother's guilty shame on her shame on her

each time Melody complained to Amanda, Amanda became resentful of her brothers. Sad how Melody decimated their family by killing their father for his money & her lover. Gary Farris deserved so much better, he’d want his kids unified not divided.
I sure hope this jury uses their brains in this case. I truly believe that this woman is innocent. This girl isn’t biased as the other 3 seemed in their testimony. She cried uncontrollably for her father, when the others all showed their dislike of their mother. I’m shocked that more people in the comments can’t see the same as I see!
I feel as though the son Scott is a possible suspect. He testified that his father gave him the card and told him to guard it as though his life depended on it. Yet he called his mother “ Melody that very morning to get the card from her “. Hmm just made me think. Why didn’t you call your father for the card was he aware his father was no longer alive?? Just a thought.
I agree. I think she is just like her Mother. Fake, narcissistic and knows damn well that her Mother killed her Father but she wants the inheritance to her Mom and herself.
@carolvassallo26 Yes, ideally, it's what we hope for, but if you have a child in trouble and needs you, you help. If you have more than one child, this can happen over time with various children.
Disagree. A parents job so to create independent adults. Parents help when the child is struggling, but giving handouts constantly teaches them to be dependent mooches rather than independent humans
Wow this is the ONLY time I've seen Melody emotional is when of course her favorite, Amanda, is on the stand! Unbelievable! So she believes her siblings wanted to be paid for their love??? Is she serious! What a HORRIBLE thing to suggest!!
the weirdest testimony was Scott's. His lack of emotion talking about finding his dad's remains, the fact he knew to look for a missing gun... i don't see how anyone would think it isn't sus. His whole persona and actions (and body size) fit the "job".
he is a war vetern I think he has PTSD etc and the cloosing testimonies revealed it was not scott that said anything first about the bones in the burn pile it was Melody. The tech forensics etc and the weird ph calls with Rusty etc make Melody more likely
Wait...wait a damn minute. I had to rewind several times to make sure I heard that right. She said after she called her parents to tell them Chris had a drinking problem and then Chris called the father to say he (chris) was having an affair with the mom??!!! Am I tripping? Or is she saying Chris called HIS dad to tell HIS father that " he was having an affair with my mother" uumm... She MUST have worded that incorrectly. I've been casually listening and I heard that and thought I missed something .. Perhaps when I hit play I will figure out what she meant but the way she worded that made it sound like he called his dad to say he's been sleeping with his own mother!! 😲😧😖🙄
Wonder how amanda paid for all the bills every month pretty interesting, no one even asked . She didnt have money either so how did she pay for melodys house bills car insurance ect in the beginning, makes no sense.
Amanda remember me very much of mommy dearest, her portrayal of grief for her dad doesn’t work for me, she is saying what mommy dearest has coached her to say
Amanda’s testimony sounds like she is the only adult child capable of anything. Listen to Scott’s previous testimony, he answers a lot of questions people asked due to this testimony. I think she is fake.
#CourtTV Catch up on GA v. #MelodyFarris: www.courttv.com/tag/melody-walker-farris/?
Scott did it! He erased the trail camera, and he said it was a lost gun before anyone knew he was supposed to have been shot! He's big enough to move his body. He placed that bullet in the house. He framed his mother. The other 2 children, idk , chris on drugs. Smh! Amanda the only one innocent and melody. NO PROOF!
She has a lot of narcissistic personality traits. For example when she was describing all her siblings she has something negative to say about all of them but when she describes herself, she says she likes to think she’s loyal and caring blah blah but didn’t want to talk about any of her issues
I noticed
Nope! She’s the parentified child!
Amanda made it clear today on the stand her dad would never get divorce her mother. Now how has the most to gain from his death???
Melody; the children were not in any wills/insurances. 🤔
When Gary dies, Melody gets all, and then all her kids are under her mercy. She is a control freak.
@@manuelabolton6748I think that’s generally the way most parents do it, with understanding last spouse to die, leaves everything to the adult kids, measured out equitably.
She looks like she is cruel enough and mean enough to do it!! Everybody is underestimating her strength!!!
What is wrong with these children?!? They are all spoiled brats. This child here is constantly contradicting herself.
Saying her Dad was really warm and loving but then a minute later saying he’s very closed off and hard to get close to. I mean which is it?!? This family is so messed up. They all need counseling. Severely!!
Show me a family who don’t. No such thing as perfect.
We are not asking perfect, we are just asking that they effing grow up! They are baby crying in the court framing the mother that worked while their father was in college and law school, and who brought them up with a lot of affection, and a clean home, created holiday spirits, and made it possible for the father to be always ready and professional at his work, she was a partner of his occupation for decades! Before she was set up, and the kids were grown up! That’s what’s normal and all these people judging Are part of the Scott cheerleading group and they want to frame Melody, and I bet they are not one order better than what she is …
I think dads are like that. They love their kids and want respect.
This case is so sad. These two adults needed to divorce years ago. Staying together for the kids, grandkids, or the financials tortures everyone in the family. His job was stressful and he was carrying everyone. Two parents staying together when they were no longer in love created this mess.
People do it all the time, they just don’t have affairs. They live with cranky husband and ditchy wives for kids and money. It’s called commitment. Life isn’t greener.
@@kimberlyprice4803 it was interesting when Amanda said she didn’t know why they got that house. Melody was high maintenance. Sometimes working just for a house makes a father sacrifice his own kids wellbeing.
This girl jas convinced me that she has the holier than thou attitude and willing to throw anyone under the bus to save her mom even her siblings. How sad to be so delusional.
Amazing that you know everything. They should call you to testify.

@13hickory Amber Heard 2.0. Little Miss Perfect.
Amanda can only say things that her mom told her. Scott was a big help. Gary and Meloney couldn't run that farm without Scott's help. I'd have underlining anger towards my Mom if she dated my Auntie's ex boyfriend. Its perfectly normal.

@@kendal4452 Exactly!
Plus, Melody didn't appreciate her life or her kids. She resented Gary and the kids. She should have appreciated Scott and all of the work he did at the farm and in the home. If she were paying someone to do this work, then her whole attitude would definitely change.
Talking to your children about their father and your marital problems, and having affairs. She is definitely is a narcissist.
Either that or Borderline Personality Disorder
That’s not narcissism… a certain immaturity but not narcissism; many Parents share with their kids some good and bad, once our kids grow, we don’t have to hide everything. They’re not stupid and they can see a lot of things! The Scott cheerleading group keep infantilizing the children, they are adults, they’ve been adults for 20 to 30 years! They have responsibilities of their own! These middle-age man have never grown up!
The dad did exactly the same ab the mom …..both criticised ea other to the adult kids
@@susanwixom8978 According to Scott- dad discussed marital issues and finance with all the kids. My kids do not know my finances and won’t until I pass. All listed out in a safe place.
She's making herself look so good as the good child that wanted nothing.

Well, considering that you guys are just gossipy cheerleaders for the Scott team and you don’t raise yourself so evidence, we are not surprised you don’t know to read people well either!
Is Amanda the one that stands up for mom???
Yep
Yes
Yes
Thank You Everyone! I hate to say this but I think she is just making list about what to do with the$$
Fair play to her, she’s what you call a daughter
I’m always weary of the one sibling that thinks they are better than their siblings all their life
When did she say that?
I’m guessing you have a sibling you feel did that to you. I’m sorry.
I didn’t get that from her at all. They had their differences, but what siblings don’t.
@@rziadeh what if that sibling thinks the same about you?
You’re just part of the Scott cheerleading gossipy side who want to frame Melody with proper evidence…
The doubt in this case is exploding!
Amanda is making herself a victim a bit, but she is, she’s the youngest, therefore, the most resented by all her siblings. She was the baby who got away with much because the parents were tired by her turn…
Stop projecting!
@@maluribeiro68 umm you got all that from me making an observation about the person on the stand? 😂
I think it's disgusting how they look down on Scott because he worked in shops. She said she works at a jewellery store.......does that make you better princess? He WORKED on the farm and always did work by the sounds of it. It's chris who stole money and took the piss! He admitted to using his dad's credit card with no permission. Absolutely no one would benefit from his death apart from the mother, this girl needs to open her eyes. Also hate posh people saying mummy and daddy, she says Scott shouldn't be living with mummy n daddy, how about you speak like an adult. This girls been fed things constantly by her mother she doesn't even have her own opinion, she didnt witness anything. How can siblings not know anything about the other, where they lived, what the studied, etc, whole things weird.
Absolutely.. took the words right out of my mind. Agree 100%
100%.
She didn’t imply that at all! She is doing a bit too much of self-pity, but on the other hand, I think she felt it was her turn to tell her siblings how much they suck! And how her life was turned upside down …
The issue is that Scott didn’t have any personal ambition, and had odd jobs, staying a few months here and there on something, but not really creating for himself any form of career, he didn’t go to college, he had substance abuse history before he went to the army. He was not particularly, successful or an example in the army either, and abandoned that too, and he worked the farm very little as we can see on different occasions! In fact, it was more Melody and Gary, who kept those animals fed and with water… Cared for… And Scott did what he wanted when he wanted in an unreliable way And still loafed off his parents … having a grand life of shooting and drinking with friends, and not really, assuming any responsibility over his own future… He could have tried to make a business out of the ranch, or something else even if it was with the help of the dad, but he created nothing!
Both “boys” were too spoiled by their daddy, they didn’t grow up!
This whole family it’s a family of people who didn’t grow up due to, In great part, the fact they came to have money but not much structure from childhood, and the southern culture of infantilizing people, thinking the man can do everything and women have to be proper homemakers and not much else; a gossiping culture which worries so much about what others do or say, as shown in all the video threads of this case…
@maluribeiro68 lol I feel like you're a friend of the murderer to be this worked up and feel they know so much lol. Soending years in jobs to me are not odd jobs, either way she murdered him and she's trying to pin it on her own child and take down any others to save herself. She's GUILTY and she's a vile, disrespectful old witch!
@KH-fu7gb 11 is a bit different to 5 of you, lol, Amanda seemed to know nothing unless it was put in her head by her mother. Gary should have clearly divorced her and got rid 20 years ago. He, for whatever reason, didn't feel he wanted to etc, being miserable wasn't a life he deserved and when he finally decided he's done she killed him, I do believe she was likely poisoning him too. She wouldn't have got as much money in a divorce because of cheating, whole things very sad. Yes, all the kids used Gary, but he let them get away with it.
It seems Amanda doesn’t like the facts of her dad financially supporting her siblings, but she accepted a brand new car from her dad, didn’t she?! Melody has all the motive: Money, lovers, and she hated her husband financially supporting her kids too.
I think she felt that way partially because her mother complained about Gary giving money to her siblings. Sounds to me like her mother pitted the kids against each other. That is disgusting.
There is no evidence that Melody killed Gary Farris and why would she kill her cash cow. I believe it was Scott and trying to set up his mother.

Melody killed Gary. Then she sponged off Amanda. During that time I feel Melody fed Amanda a lot of negative junk about her siblings. Bet Amanda did not know Rusty and Melody talked in June ,just before the murder, about marrying Rusty after a period of grieving.
You have solved the puzzle. Good job
WHY would U talk about a Marriage to another Man even saying how Long she should grieve before getting Married again….
That Rusty wasn’t half the Man Gary was and for sure not the Smartest and sure NOT better looking….Just SAD if she HATED

Why is Amanda not mentioning her Mom’s affairs ? Saying, we all had issues, but that’s all. Her tears are a little put on. She wipes tears I don’t see .
She mentioned it more than once. Even telling that the mom would act like she was going to stay with her, then leave Amanda alone to go see Rusty.
@@jamiepatterson558only when she was pushed to say she lied saying she didn't know about rusty and mom yet he was at the wedding

How could any Mother put your children through this. It’s heartbreaking 💔
She fake crying she blaming her siblings how about your mom really I believe she’s rusty because of how she only loved her and hated her siblings and mom hated Gary kids they need to do a dna
She reminds me of that other lady that killed here husband, but tried to blame her 6 or 7 year old daughter.
Narcissistics do that.
Totally agree. DNA test for all children soon, if not already. Must know if Melody and Gary are their parents. Yes, test for both parents. Make sure siblings are biological siblings. Yes, they are still parents and yes, they are still siblings even if not biological.
How could two sons do this to their father and friend their mother!
It's normal to look for missing weapons if a middle-aged male who has access to guns is missing on a large property, its the same as checking the garage to see if the car is turned on.
Jennibarnes been wanting to say this.
@@jennibarnes140 I think it triggered his memory of the oddness of seeing that strange gun in a drawer. Scott’s mind immediately put 2 and 2 together. And WHY would Amanda first go upstairs looking for her dad when he never went upstairs, only downstairs or main floor???
and looking for a missing gun might indicate that he thought his dad had gone hunting.
Really ? Maybe if he were depressed or they thought he was suicidal. According to family he was not. This looking for the gun on that morning of July 5 was odd to me.
For example... let's say you cannot find your kid ? Are you going to stop and make sure his binky in the living room ? No. The timing was very odd.
I believe Scott was in his 20's when this happened in 2018.. He wasn't middle age. He and his brother Chris probably didn't trust their mother. She told Scott she wished Gary was dead, and Gary mentioned to Chris that Melody could be trying poison him.
Has anyone else noticed shes not answering some of the questions. She diverts to another situation. He asked what kid was close to what parent. She totally changed the subject
Amamda: Let's see, remember to say Chris is an alcoholic? Check. Did I mention Scott does very little and has no friends? Check. And Emily? Oh, she could never buy her house on her own. Check.
@@SaraONeillDesignRight?! She’s a textbook narcissist like her Mother. Change the subject instead of answering the question and admit you aren’t close to your Father and you are closest to your Mother out of everyone.
I wonder how Amanda feels about her mom financially supporting her lovers, and now knowing her dad either knew or suspected that, maybe that would speak to why Gary rathered money going to the kids vs. Melody's lovers.
It seems if Melody financially supported her lovers, they may have been using her.
Yes exactly Amanda is very much like the evil mom sadly

That’s not true she said her sister was a great woman and great mom, Chris was friendly - life of the party - but let’s face it, Chris was financially a mess and problems with drinking a open issue- they got along but Scott was different and non productive- siblings get resentful when adult siblings live off parents and the parents openly tell them of being used, lied to and hiding things like a marriage.
He's nice to his witnesses but not to the states
@@noreengardner1075 It’s the parents decision on whether they want to help th more needy kids. This dynamic is not unusual in families. I have seen it with mine and my husbands.
Scott wasnt holding up emergency services at the end of the driveway. He met them at the road/driveway. The fire truck couldn't make it up driveway so the crew hopped on to the ambulance. Chris was in shock sitting on the back of the truck.
Melody seriously is a self centered person, she did not care about her kids, she lived her life and sponged off Gary
Emily looks more reliable than Amanda.
An emotional wreck
Yup
She does in some ways but strangely chose a husband who had been convicted of embezzlement. She couldn't have honestly thought they would qualify for a home loan and clearly knew from the beginning that she would need her father to co-sign on the loan. She wasn't truthful about that..
Amanda's testimony was sad, I feel sorry for her, but I do believe that she has doubts about her mother's innocence. She is not in a good place, now that all her siblings are estranged from her. I hope they reconcile when Melody is found guilty. Her testimony led me to believe that if she is found guilty that she will accept that verdict and move on with her life.
If you look at all the evidence and I have watched the in trial from the beginning, and I do not believe the prosecution prove their case that Melody did this crime.
@@marthahalsey-on4bnyou are going to be shocked then because she clearly done it
Or be even more convinced they went out of their way to set her up. Could go either way tbf.
She is in denial 😏
@@marthahalsey-on4bnI am totally convinced she did it and Rusty is informed with 3 phone calls with Rusty on July 3 -4 equal 114 minutes all between 10 pm and 2 Am. Then Rusty said she said He’s on the burn pile! These calls were longer than any other phone call or group of calls ever and she never called him at 2 am other than this one time. She’s without doubt in my mind. If she had an accomplice…she still is guilty.
They bring in legal commentators who know nothing about the trial 😳👎🏽. Chris was already investigated very very thoroughly. He has a very strong alibi I.e caught on camera elsewhere during the time of the murder. There are also 3 key pieces of evidence that remove any reasonable doubt that Melody did it 🥴.
Help me 1 and 2 and 3….i know the phone calls to Rusty between 10-2 am are outta sight long 2 hours on the phone over 4 hours
Do they know where he was the day before? I'm assuming it would take many hours for the body to be completely disintegrated.The day he was found was not the day he died.
Agreed. I generally really like the commentators on Court TV but the ones that have been commenting on this case seem to be convinced the brother did it
They do that to create drama so you keep watching 🤦🏻♀️
They do that so that the viewers become emotionally invested and glued to the trial coverage. If everyone agreed she was guilty it would seem like an open n shut guilty verdict and people wouldn't tune in for the commentary or the trial coverage, and might just occasionally tune in to check to see if there's a verdict watch, if at all .
The fact she brought her children into her marital issues and affairs, what a narcissistic monster. Most mothers protect their children and will fall on a sword for them, here, she is blaming her own son for his father’s death. Amanda needs a lot of help. The poor kids are so skrewed up
She doesn’t have to put down her bothers for having odd jobs. She had odd jobs herself. Tremendous competition and jealousy of her siblings.

They did. Amanda is helping to muddy the waters about reasonable doubt because she knows her Mom murdered her father. Amanda knows and co-conspired with Melody and Rusty to cover it up because Amanda thinks she’ll be rewarded my Melody if she’s found not guilty.

Yup plus the 3 other key pieces of evidence that eliminate any reasonable doubt.
Melody to Rusty: "you have to explain that this is a chess game"
Still keeping an open mind about whether Melody is guilty, if she had help or if someone else did it, but theres no doubt she destroyed this family with her flagrant and very open dalliances including bringing one lover to her daughters wedding which I have to say blew my mind. Innocent or guilty theres no denying she’s a very selfish woman who only ever thought about herself.

Its clear these two were close. I find it hard any of them would support her after everything she did to their father and essentially destroying the family. She’s the cause of all the fractious relationships they now have.
She cried too with other two but she was most likely crying for herself.
She's crying because she knows she's going down...

The room for doubt in this case is exploding, and in fact, things lead way more toward two other potential killers who tried to frame their mother, Truly shameful, and truly shameful that most people in this case videos threads are cruel people who don’t base themselves on evidence, but on condemnation of a woman based on conclusions they make up…
I think Melody and Rusty did it.
i think they were involved.
A huge nail to her testimony: The prosecutor asks her are you biased towards your mom? She says, no I wouldn't think that and that I would support either parent. The golden question was then asked to her: how about to Chris or Scott? Her response just killed her testimony. Obviously, she is biased towards her mom.
To me it sounded a lot like she is holding the lack of communication against her brothers, for choosing not to talk to her. Therefore, I feel the strong bias is affecting her testinony, and I do not find her to be credible.
I don't believe Scott would kill he's dad , if you think by killing his dad would benefit him NO. because that would mean he would have to ask Melody for the help , and that's not going to happen for sure .
Scott did it and blaming it on mom. Therefore that gives him firsthand access to his part of the estate.
Jmo
And the way she talks about her siblings… especially in the jail calls. Melody Did it!!!! So Amanda is mad that her dad supported her siblings but mom can use Dads money for her lovers though 🤦♀️. The dad probably hoped that she would stop cheating and tried in hopes things would change.
@emmgarden
Amanda probably listened to her mother trash her father and siblings, and believed her.
He has relationships too. Listen to the evidence.
@noellelavelle3379
Hardly. He attempted but no luck. I think he was the type of person who would rather stay w this cheating ho rather than being alone. He was attempting to monkey branch and have someone else before being able to leave his marriage, but it didn't work out. Becauseost women don't want someone w so much baggage, still married and living together. Most decent people refuse or are reluctant to be one involved w someone who is still married and living together.
I have a feeling Amanda isn’t being truthful
Brainwashed by the mother. This is the only child she was able to manipulate. The other 3 were resentful at her because of the way she disrespected their dad.
Amanda looks just like her mom!
The Daughter is the spitting image of her Mother 😳
Both daughters are tbf. The other one has her nose. So sad. The mother really destroyed what was once a tight knit family group. Now the siblings aren’t all talking to each other and some somewhat despise their mother for what she did to their father with her numerous affairs.

In more ways than one. She's Melody's mini me. They are the same.
@@tranquility9325
Scary 😔😔😔
Sounds like both mom and dad were busy helping Amanda have a bad opinion of her brothers. All hearsay about Chris “stealing” money. Scott WORKED on the farm. He earned being paid or given money.
Not hearsay, they have texts Gary sent to Chris, and Chris admits he stole money. Scott was ordering custom golf clubs the 3rd and had issues with parents- basically losers.
Scott worked on the farm. None of us truly know how much work he did. But he must have done enough for them to keep giving him money and giving him their debit and credit cards. So I think Amanda is just trying to cover for her mother. The mom is guilty and we all can see that after the evidence that has been admitted. She sure cried when Amanda was on the stand but had NO emotion when her other daughter or 2 sons were up there. And she sure looked mad when Mrs Martha Jane Barton got on the stand. I'm very proud of MJ for coming forward about the gun. It just helped seal Melody's fate!!!!!
He admitted he used his dad's credit card with zero permission, he sounds a nightmare, wonder where he's been living and surviving since without daddy's money paying everything from bills to his kids stuff and a wedding ring for his fiance!! That's totally crazy to me.
What I can’t get past is this cold woman (Melody) who obviously committed this crime is trying to put her sons in prison for something she did. All the kids clearly loved their dad. They needed him. She is a monster.
@lacylnn1981 just hope she gets guilty, horrible feeling she might get away with it. This girl has zero opinions of her own, mummy's fed it all to her. Complete denial, a religious person that I believe would lie still lol, shock horror.
Every family has problems and drama. She paints herself as so perfect and the drama was all with her siblings. She set herself against her siblings and felt superior to them, but the mother is ultimately the one who imploded this family.
Unsure about this women......A very well thought out script.....tears from both when needed..
It is getting harder and harder to tell who’s being genuine and who’s exaggerating. Clearly the mother isn’t the only one with motive. Still not even sure if she is guilty how she could have done it without help which also opens up the chance she had nothing to do with it. Yes, she cheated and was very open and flagrant about it, but that doesn’t mean it had to be her even if she detested him. If anything because of her cheating she might benefit the least from his death.
I think the daughter is truly torn up. The mom is deplorable
Only when needed they poured on the fake tears .
Like her mom. It’s word salad with her.
She was great. Very articulate and credible
Scott verbally and financially abused both parents. Scott killed the Dad when he finally cut him off.
Her worked hard on that farm. Melody was doing the neighborhood, Father busy Lawyer. Scott ran the farm and had credit card as her pay. Father told Scott do give Melody the credit card. He did not cut up Scott.
I think this is a very resentful daughter… I live in a very similar family dynamic and it’s my youngest sister speaking and also is the same narcissistic, manipulative mother situation… mom is guilty
I agree.
Exactly
Same... 👍
Scott in earlier testimony said he went to the basement to check for the cpap machine and also to see if the rifle was there which would indicate if his dad went hunting. When he saw the rifle was there, it made him think of the gun he had seen in that drawer and he felt drawn to see if it was still there.
I find it odd or interesting I guess- that Amanda is the only one who thinks Daddy helping his adult children or anyone over 18 asking for help was a moral wrongdoing. What a strange, cold woman. The mother (Melody)only cried during Amanda's testimony... seems to me they're obviously the closest as Amanda is the baby. Scott having PTST from going to Iraq is no reason to blame him.
Well said... 👍

So in her opinion being introverted is a bad thing?
Apparently, Amanda’s husband also had financial difficulties and was possibly, relying on her or her parents. That came out on some texts conversation presented in court. Why she thinks she’s above her siblings?
@@leaarroyo202 Right bc he was probably paying child custodies for the child from his first marriage.

💯
Mama has lived with her since she’s been on bail. I am more than sure her and her daughter have rehearsed what she will say on the stand. Her mom probably told her to say….” I do not recall that.”
“ I do not remember that” but she remembered suddenly that her brother said
“I’m going to look for a missing gun!”
I agree with 99% of society, SCOTT had no motive. Why would he kill his dad when he was about to go on a beautiful weekend vacation with him and his daughters? If he killed him, that vacation would not happen, it did not happen! Not to mention, he was living basically rent free and daddy gave him all the financial needs he needed. If his dad died, you know his mother would not do anything for him, especially financially! He had no motive he had no reason.
Scott deleted photos I believe scott isn’t as innocent as he seems

You are right. I hadn't considered that.
I’m, so I’m blown away that you guys obviously have not been following this trial closely! Your guest spoke and said that Amanda said this is a family that doesn’t use guns, that’s not a true statement.
Also, if you knew the brothers personally, he lived there, the mother had always been nasty to her husband and told him she hoped he would die a horrible death alone. The Dad has shown his grown kids what their mother has said, they knew the mother hated the dad! That makes sense to me that Scott would make the statement about the gun! He said he had a bad feeling that his mother did something. That’s not odd behavior! He was in shock, angry, confused, suspicious, people have their own way of dealing with trauma!
Gary was a cheater ungrateful controlling famous lawyer and clan head.
Many marriages lead to a sort of hate due to A feeling of entrapment.
While he grew, he forgot M helped him through college & law school, and was a partner in his success, M dropped college pregnant By him and had no college degree, or career of her own, no skills… A woman who perhaps didn’t develop to her potential or mature as much, but it’s because of the kind of society she’s in as well!

Agreed. Don’t forget the self righteous part.
Seems like this attorney is testifying instead of her. He keeps asking a question then answer it for her
@@Snuflizard There have been no objections from either the state or defense during this trial. Theres been lots of leading the witness and such.
I think there's anger in every one of us, but not to the point of murder.She's the baby.She probably got spoiled more by mama and she can't see no fault in Sir, I'm sure she's destroyed. Her lost her but she can't paint it that it's all of her siblings. Mistakes terrible situation , if the mother's guilty shame on her shame on her
@@Snuflizard He always does that.
Melody & Amanda are both narcissistic, throwing pity party for only themselves.
You are so right
Yep.
I haven't found this witness believable since she said "I found my love in retail"
I found my love in retail… the retail business not some guy. The funniest 13 years of my life.
@@candykane4271 not looking down on anyone just no one likes working black friday or dealing with Karens or having to restock display shelves customers rip through in 5 seconds
@@candykane4271 bet you left it when you met your husband/sometime after you got married, tho.
what love... lol
@@jendee1260 I married young and I married smart money, it was a fun tax shelter.
each time Melody complained to Amanda, Amanda became resentful of her brothers. Sad how Melody decimated their family by killing their father for his money & her lover. Gary Farris deserved so much better, he’d want his kids unified not divided.
Amanda slowly brainwashed Amanda.
Amanda isn’t crying, just blotting her eyes. Mom isn’t really crying either.
Wrong
I agree. They are both feigning emotions.
I sure hope this jury uses their brains in this case. I truly believe that this woman is innocent. This girl isn’t biased as the other 3 seemed in their testimony. She cried uncontrollably for her father, when the others all showed their dislike of their mother. I’m shocked that more people in the comments can’t see the same as I see!
I feel as though the son Scott is a possible suspect. He testified that his father gave him the card and told him to guard it as though his life depended on it. Yet he called his mother “ Melody that very morning to get the card from her “. Hmm just made me think. Why didn’t you call your father for the card was he aware his father was no longer alive?? Just a thought.
I'm confused. Why is she being allowed to say what her siblings were or weren't doing? Isn't it all heresay? Why aren't they objecting?
at what point in the interview? timestamps?
Poor actress. 🙄
She is trying to throw the brother under the bus.
Scott is a wackjob. She is not. And I thought she was an excellent witness for the defense. As did the panel, without exception, on Court TV.
@@carolvassallo26 ah the Law and Crime live chat mostly disagreed with Court TV. 📺 🤣🤣🤣
@@carolvassallo26 Live chat 90% disagreed with you.. 😇
It wasn't one of the kids, it was mom, she has showed no emotion until now !
she showed emotion towards the one child that supports her.🙄 Otherwise she's an ice cycle!
Scott deleted photos did she delete photos?
I disagree ,I think the boys ,especially Scott had something to do it :
No it.s not the first time !!!!
@@k1nglou596 EXACTLY Scott deleted the evidence (from video camera I thought it was
For some reason Amanda rubs me the wrong way.
I agree. I think she is just like her Mother. Fake, narcissistic and knows damn well that her Mother killed her Father but she wants the inheritance to her Mom and herself.
Parents work for their children. If they love their children, they give freely of their resources.
If they love their children they teach them to be independent
@carolvassallo26 Yes, ideally, it's what we hope for, but if you have a child in trouble and needs you, you help. If you have more than one child, this can happen over time with various children.
Disagree. A parents job so to create independent adults. Parents help when the child is struggling, but giving handouts constantly teaches them to be dependent mooches rather than independent humans
Victim mentality. Yikes. Annoying 😒.
She said she loves retail. She’s a salesman…she’s selling us here
Wow this is the ONLY time I've seen Melody emotional is when of course her favorite, Amanda, is on the stand! Unbelievable! So she believes her siblings wanted to be paid for their love??? Is she serious! What a HORRIBLE thing to suggest!!
she has been emotional when the other kids were on the stand as well.
@cjdodgeprimecrime I've seen her very emotional on several occasions. I'm not convinced the wife killed.
@@sabrinavelt6300 the ones I watched she wasn't, not like this anyway!
@@LisaFerguson-lw8ilI understand. I haven't seen it, not to this level, and I believe the wife did it. Lol
I know one thing.. this is one hot mess of a family!!
the weirdest testimony was Scott's. His lack of emotion talking about finding his dad's remains, the fact he knew to look for a missing gun... i don't see how anyone would think it isn't sus. His whole persona and actions (and body size) fit the "job".
he is a war vetern I think he has PTSD etc and the cloosing testimonies revealed it was not scott that said anything first about the bones in the burn pile it was Melody. The tech forensics etc and the weird ph calls with Rusty etc make Melody more likely
I feel like I'm watching a Lifetime Movie, when I watch this Trial!😂🍿
The defense sucks
They're excellent
Some mothers are not nurturing, unfortunately. It does affect children immensely.
Can’t wait for the testimony when the prosecution asks her questions,,,,
The handled her with kid gloves. I think her and Rusty will be indicted as co-coconspirators after the fact of Melody is found guilty.
She is playing up the emotions way too much and portrayong herself as the only perfect child.
He saw gun when he was looking for cable remote, repair man wanted it. Get with it people, pay attention!. Maybe worried if Dad might hurt self!
Exactly 💯 😊
At least you paid attention.
Yes!
Wait...wait a damn minute. I had to rewind several times to make sure I heard that right. She said after she called her parents to tell them Chris had a drinking problem and then Chris called the father to say he (chris) was having an affair with the mom??!!! Am I tripping? Or is she saying Chris called HIS dad to tell HIS father that " he was having an affair with my mother" uumm... She MUST have worded that incorrectly. I've been casually listening and I heard that and thought I missed something .. Perhaps when I hit play I will figure out what she meant but the way she worded that made it sound like he called his dad to say he's been sleeping with his own mother!! 😲😧😖🙄
I heard that too!! I came here in hopes I wasn’t the only one that heard that. Is there anyone who can explain this??
I heard that too. Is this girl making up family drama? He says she doesn’t want to be in it, but then gets in it.
@@GizmoRob176the attorney clarified right after. I heard same thing.
It was repeated a few minutes later. Chris told his Dad that Amanda's husband and the mother were sleeping together. Strange...
Right. Chris accused Amanda’s
Fiancée at the time of having an affair with mom. That’s pretty much a dealbreaker for any healthy sibling relationship.
Not a very likeable character 😑…🤭
Gary died from a broken marriage and no love lost, on the burn pile….as Rusty Said before anyone knew.
From the first day of this trail, I believed she is innocent... and today I’m more convinced that Scott had something to do with it
Why would Scott do it?
Amanda sounds like she didnt want to face reality. She just wanted to like in fairytale land.
I would think that it really irritates the jury for Melody to sit there throughout the WHOLE trial with that hand over her mouth….ugggg!
Why does she keep her mouth covered all throughout the trial? I’ve wondered.
@@aprilwilcher3311 I asked myself the same question and I think she. Doesn’t like her mouth 👄 I guess she is self conscious about her upper lip 🤷🏻♀
Not sure if she’s hiding her wrinkles, puckered lips , or bad teeth .She looks mad all the time hiding behind the hands
To control her mouth from saying anything or to gesture with her mouth at all. Our mouths do indicate feelings.
I think maybe she’s done it for years because of being self conscious of that part of her face that looks a little odd?
Wonder how amanda paid for all the bills every month pretty interesting, no one even asked . She didnt have money either so how did she pay for melodys house bills car insurance ect in the beginning, makes no sense.
Amanda remember me very much of mommy dearest, her portrayal of grief for her dad doesn’t work for me, she is saying what mommy dearest has coached her to say
Amanda’s testimony sounds like she is the only adult child capable of anything. Listen to Scott’s previous testimony, he answers a lot of questions people asked due to this testimony. I think she is fake.
If he was texting her asking when they could get together again, he was trying to be close. She was the one who didn’t want to be close.
The only time the mother showed emotion
