My youngest son is 6’3 230 lbs and very lean. He was in a very serious relationship with the girl who grew up next door to us who looks very similar to MK. They were together for about 5 years. We didn’t find out until the relationship was done and over that she had been physically abusing him the entire time. Who would have ever guessed that that mountain of a man was being, punched, kicked and worse, behind closed doors. I never warmed up to her and could never put my finger on just why my spirit never aligned with hers. God blessed me with a healthy gift of decrement and it has served me well my whole life, if I listen to it. It just never crossed my mind that a strong man could ever be abused by a woman. My son was not killed thank God, and I’m not comparing him to what happened to this poor man, just putting the word out to all parents to keep an eye on all your children, man or woman.
Myself being a man was in a relationship where i was abused also it took awhile for me to wake up, I weighted the situation like a scale if i stay with her i'll constantly suffer but if leave i'll eventually get over her. Sometimes you have to overlook your feelings.
Amen, sis! Power of discernment is your gift from God. It's your 1st Mind, your God Mind... Bless your son. *Men get DV'd too.* And, it such much more nefarious because their attackers KNOW that they'll be too ashamed (as men) to come forward & report it.
I like how at 22:22 the camera, already on her face, goes in for an even closer shot to show there were no tears accompanying her fake crying. Well done, 48 Hours.
In my opinion, Steven was a victim of domestic violence. The most dangerous time for victims is when they decide to leave. I'm heartbroken for his family and I wish he could've escaped to live his life on peace. He was so young.
What a despicable woman. Not only did she hide the fact that she knew who had killed tracy, but she was willing to have a killer for a husband. Unbelievable.
I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of a woman being capable of knowingly marrying a monster, and what it says about the state of her soul. I don't believe she actually thought that Tracy's death was accidental.
Mary Katherine needs to go to prison for a long time. Her emotional abuse is the same as many men do to women. Threats about suicide and the lot. She was mad because she knew he was leaving.
And many women do to men…so what’s the point of even saying that about men? It goes both ways and that is common sense past a certain age. It needs no stating.
Right?!?!?!!!! I couldnt stop saying to myself, "what a selfish woman!" She finally thought of telling the truth when HER life changed and he got abusive after leaving prison. Never cared about justice for her friend or answers for her family, let alone the assumed guilt of an innocent man!! I hope she gets her karma
@@kimberini6465 She kept justifying her dishonesty by saying she wanted the family and the marriage. But the whole thing was based on lies. Her miserable life wasn't worth it when she betrayed so many people and almost let an innocent man go to prison.
Mary Katherine not only took that young man’s life but also tried to destroy his character. Sick person who is obviously lying about her bf being abusive. No woman calls her abusive bf to come back a billion times and certainly doesn’t tailgate him! She is viscous and vile.
I agree she took his life and then set out to destroy his character to save herself; however, I think it's entirely possible they had a mutually abusive relationship. This doesn't excuse any of her behavior, mind you. But I think it's naive and inaccurate to assume there is always one abuser and one victim in domestic violence scenarios, when it's not uncommon for the abuse to mutual.
Those texts he sent are horrifically abusive. It sounds like a mutually abusive relationship, but she clearly shot him on purpose in a rage. Many things can be true at the same time.
Why would you want to marry and have your child raised by the man who murdered your friend? And then too tell everyone that Carl was abusive? What a horrible person.
@@AccentYouLovingheartNobody escapes judgment when it really counts. The great white throne judgment is the real deal and the light will shine on everything and everyone and ALL darkness will be exposed.
Always suspicious when someone tries to lay out their alibi on the 911 call. I have had to call 911 a couple of times and I always just gave the information needed to get help as fast as possible.
2nd story:What Dawn did is unforgivable. She tries to justify staying silent, in a self-gratifying way, by saying that she wanted her unborn baby to have a father and she selfishly wanted a family life. And at the end thinking 'no man of mine would ever have an affair'. Maybe she was subconsciously punishing Tracy through punishing Carolyn by taking away her Dad. And she was willing to send an innocent man to jail and deprive a child from having their father. It is the most selfish thing anyone can do. I hope she had a happy life with her husband....
💯 Came looking for this comment… Because that’s what I responded on another thread where mutual abuse was being discussed… I’m not ruling that out, but I do believe that BDSM was something they were both into and she’s now turning it all against him. She gave herself away when asked about the red room and used the personal subject pronoun “we” to say they bought things for it.
I was thinking about commenting the exact same thing. Like is she serious? She’s crying about her life being ruined while talking about her “”””””””friend”””””””” being murdered and her ex-husband having his life ruined because he’s falsely accused of killing her. Not that I feel sorry for him if the abuse really did happen. But it’s the irony that gets me. She’s ruining a man’s life by staying quiet, tormenting a family that lost someone important, and protecting the murderer of her friend, and she’s crying about how HER life will be ruined if she tells the truth… and she expects people to sympathise with her and act like she’s just some poor innocent woman caught up in this mess who just tried yo do the best for everyone… Too bad that apparently “everyone” only includes herself. Nobody else matters.
I came here to say this exact same thing!! "But it was going to ruin MY life. 😭" Also, what kind of "loving family life" was your child going to have with a murderer for a father? Get real.
They said the first vote was 10 to 2 got guilty. Those 10 jurors let 2 idiots change and make their mind up for them. If someone would of stood by what they thought they would of got a miss trial and let 12 other people try to figure it out
So true but then you have shows like 48 hours to give these messed up people with pure evil souls a platform to entertain the rest of the world….no wonder social media is toxic to the core
So this woman Dawn knew her boyfriend had killed Tracey but married him anyway because she wanted to create a happy homelife for her child. WOW... talking about denial...
she IS a very selfish woman. only thinking about herself... in her 50's. it's also really interesting that she wanted to start a family with a murderer. she never matured enough to reflect on her own behavior.
“Let me protect myself and my kids by marrying and staying with this murderer”….right. She’s nuts! 😮 I can’t believe she wasn’t prosecuted. She literally obstructed justice.
It's truly remarkable to watch MK and her sister telling lies during a live interview. Their body language, facial expressions, forced emotions, and fragmented sentences all give away their guilt.
Mary Katherine should be in jail. I!m shocked that she walked free, if her boyfriend was so bad why was she chasing him? She realised she couldn't have him and she ended his life, period. I think jury must be out of their minds. That is so sad really. She is in fake tears the whole time. I couldn't stand her really, she is disgusting and made me feel sick.
@@susand4424yes, but if you are ever on trial for something you didn’t do, you better pray you have jurors that understand what reasonable doubt is, rather than convicting on flimsy evidence because they feel your guilty. The jurors were right, the prosecution didn’t collect enough evidence. That’s why you hear of investigations taking decades sometimes, they can’t go to trial without more evidence.
if I was on that jury, I would done the same. I didn't believe one word from them cops. cops are pathological liars. when them cops was talking, they look like they were lying. I think them cops made that sound so no one can hear her what she was saying, and cops can make up there BS lie words up.
What's truly an injustice is those 2 jurors misapplied the law. It's a question of the preponderance of the evidence not one item, person, or etc. They let a killer go because of their arrogance and ignorance.
People like dawn are just disgusting. Her life is going well, so who cares about the suffering family of the victim. What dawn's kids needed was a mother who was a good and ethical person.
I agree, but the law says that it has to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt based upon the evidence. They only used the evidence, and not their brains to interpret the evidence. Hurray for them. She should be in jail forever.
@ they were both dysfunctional to a certain extent- they had some BDSM mixed in which can get confusing and he’s no genius. But of the two she’s probably the more crazy and I don’t believe her “tears” because she doesn’t produce actual tears when she’s “crying”. It’s just as hard for men to leave an abusive relationship as it is for women I believe.
@ yeah but I think domestic violence is worse because you are sometimes dependent on the person who is being violent and the place where you’re supposed to be safe, at home, has an atmosphere of dread. There’s a chronic layer of trauma and betrayal in domestic violence that can wear away at sense of self.
I have to admit that 48 Hours did an amazing job, gripping from start to finish! But it’s really quite confusing how Mary Katherine was acquitted even though she changed her testimony up to 10 times…
I'll NEVER understand how that jury came to that conclusion, I thought the prosecutors did a good job. She is So Damn GUILTY !!!!! 😠 🤍🕊🤍 RIP Steven 🤍🕊🤍
@@russianaloha4576 I agree!! That jury is an example of just how far this society has devolved into one of almost complete insanity. The individuals of that jury, don ‘t accept personal responsibility for their actions, and subsequently, doesn’t expect anyone else to either.
@Cathy-f6m Emmitt Till's murderers went free after a jury found them not guilty. A year later, they admitted to torturing and killing the young boy in a paid interview with a magazine. That was 1955. Tell me again how this is a sign of today's "insanity"
Her job was so important to her that she was was OK with her friend being killed, her husband going free, and the wrong man being sent to prison. Going to AL to testify would be such an inconvenience to her!
Dawn Beasley how selfish could she be? Her life blighted, Tracy’s ex husband lived with all that suspicion all those years. Maybe I’m a hard person, but I just don’t get it
I agree with you 100% she’s an unbelievably selfish person! How could she look herself in the mirror for decades knowing what she knew! Even now the way she talks she sound’s like poor me all we hear is her talk about me,me,me she’s unbelievable!
Agreed! Steven told his friends she pointed a gun at him at least 3-4 times, as a friend, I would try to do my best to convince my friend to leave a dangerous abuser. Red flags were everywhere. It could have been prevented!
She had the gun, she shot him, she's not denying shooting him. They argue a lot. This is crazy. Those 2 jurors seem to have something against the police or something else. They know she had the gun, they know she shot him.
I worry every hour of every day for my son in an abusive relationship… last time, she slammed his face into the wall and broke his glasses and face. He went back. He’s over 700 miles away from me, I can’t help. Makes me sick to think about, but he IS an adult and it’s out of this momma’s hands, but not out of my heart… 😢💙🇺🇸
Steven was a victim of DV ! Men have to get help just like women! I’m so glad Steven had the friends and family he could count on he almost made it out! RIP Steven
The 2 jurors were wrong. They allowed a murderer go free to punish the cops for their mistakes. Basically saying the mistakes of the police officers were bigger than her act of murdering Steven wtf
It’s a disgusting judgement and those 2 jurors knew themselves she was guilty but then still made that decision not guilty!!! How on earth can that happen??😡
@@nellipalchevskaya2680part of the abuse is to make your victim believe no one else will ever love them and that they’re not good enough….etc etc…. He seemed to be a decent handsome well raised who loved and respected his mama
I figured I better scroll down before I post the exact same comment. Sickening how stupid the average person is...and they get to vote and serve on juries.
He was at his friend's house and you called him over and over to get home and he finally answered and said he's coming home. If he was so abusive,why do you want him to come home so badly. If he was so cruel to you , why did you continue to say you love him. You're a big fat liar.
Those two jurors from the first story should be ashamed of themselves. Both of them talk like they have a 50 IQ. Mary can join the Simpson/Anthony club.
What shocked me it was 2 men who persuaded the whole jury. Usually they can see things more clearly than we do without emotions clouding their judgment and they still are like not guilty even though they know in their bones that she was. They let a murderer walk because of a half arsed shotty investigation. There was no question she did it out of anger not self defense. I could understand if there was no evidence of her being the aggressive one but they had plenty and a lot of witnesses to it. Mind boggling….
It's not about what a juror "thinks," it's a matter of police providing the necessary evidence for the prosecution to prove beyond doubt. The police and prosecution failed that boy's family on what should've been a slam dunk. Citizens should be weary to reward shotty police work with convictions, honestly. It's a slippery slope. The fact that the jurors believed she WAS guilty, but followed the court instructions of how rulings should be determined, speaks to their integrity. It's not as if they felt great about letting someone off that they believed was a murderer; that is something they knew they would have to live with. Despite all that, they ruled according to the court's mandates. That's not a position I envy.
The jury got Steven’s case so wrong. Poor Steven. You could tell she’s a liar. She sat there and squirmed while trying to defend herself from interviewer’s questions. She knew he was leaving her and she couldn’t handle it. RIP Steven. You seemed like such a good person.
I am utterly appalled that she got away with murdering Steven. She made damn sure no one else was going to have him, like so many individuals in abusive relationships. Poor soul💔
And he sent horrible text messages to her. It looks like they had really bad fights in the past. And somebody threw that food all over the kitchen. When he finally decided to get out, she escalated over the top. These relationships never go one way
Mary Katherine ought to be ashamed of herself lying on Steven like this ; calling him a rapist ; she’s a pathological liar smh I can’t believe she was found not guilty My condolences 💐 to Steven’s family and loved ones
The woman from the first story didn’t shed a SINGLE REAL TEAR. I hate to say I know what anybody is thinking in these stories, but she is so obviously lying. She told 3 or 4 different stories about what happened. Then she started making up stories to ruin the man’s character. There are terrible people in this world.
DV goes both ways. It appears Stephan was a victim of DV. There is strong research which shows that when someone in a relationship threatens self-harm to manipulate the other to stay…that is a STRONG predictor of DV homicide. To all men and women, if someone ever does that …YOU are in grave danger. Make a safety plan to leave.
Also - we human beings have a sixth sense for a reason. It is there to protect us. If you sense even a flicker of a red flag in someone, turn around, walk away and never look back. Do not ignore that intuition. Never question it. Never try to make excuses for it. Trust. I learned that lesson the hard way.
I sincerely hope Dawn gets to live the life she deserves, and when she needs help, she’ll be surrounded by friends just as good as she was to Tracy. I hope everyone around her will show her the same mercy she has shown to the family of the victim, and everyone will be just as eager to stand up for her in face of injustice as quickly she stood up for the ex. Hopefully she’ll only meet people as honest and selfless as her, who will care about others just as much as she does. 🙂
If Steven had been violent to MK, then why would she be burning up his phone and chasing after him, screaming at the top of her lungs to get him to come home for dinner??? Her story (stories) makes no sense!
Wow, how did she live with herself, Dawn knows who killed her friend Tracy but doesn't want to testify because it will "ruin her life"!??? What a disgusting person!
And it's not like she is out there finding a cure for cancer or rescuing people. She is a mediocre blob that would be lost in the crowd any day. The only thing redeeming about her life would be if she told the truth instead of being a guilty coward.
Mary Katherine totally had me during the 911 call. Perfect performance! But eeeeverything after that sounded so so fake!! Her crocodile tears are so embarrassing…
Stay away from drama chicks. The moment someone tells you, "I'm going to hurt myself if you leave." Here's your sign! It's a sign of a controlling, manipulating narcissist.
So Dawn was never going to say anything and let an innocent man go to prison by saying she was busy working? What a subhuman for not saying anything from day one! She would rather marry a murderer and have a murderer raise children with her!?! Disgusting 🤮
If she cared so much about her "perfect" life, she needed to apply it to self-care and spend the money used to dye her hair on getting her teeth aligned.
@junemarshall-kingsley566 oh my gosh I'm dying laughing because I always say that about people because I worked in beauty for 23yrs and people do that a lot they have the worst teeth, but spend on other things it's so odd to me! One client got breast implants before fixing her massively bad teeth it's crazy lol

People like dawn are just disgusting. Her life is going well, so who cares about the suffering family of the victim. What dawn's kids needed was a mother who was a good and ethical person.
That jury in the first case dropped the ball, well the 2 men that convinced everyone else! They even said at the end she was guilty WTFFF!
I agree, but the law says that it has to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt based upon the evidence. They only used the evidence, and not their brains to interpret the evidence. Hurray for them. She should be in jail forever.
@@PrettiMikiThere was plenty of evidence.
@@PrettiMiki the jury used their emotions instead of their brains.
They were 2 horrible men who just assume that guy was horrible too. Nothing like having regards on your jury
Not a single tear shed.
Domestic violence is so horrible. That poor, poor boy.😢
It's often fake DV... like the first story.
@ they were both dysfunctional to a certain extent- they had some BDSM mixed in which can get confusing and he’s no genius. But of the two she’s probably the more crazy and I don’t believe her “tears” because she doesn’t produce actual tears when she’s “crying”. It’s just as hard for men to leave an abusive relationship as it is for women I believe.
@@lisaadams6753
Agree 💯
I man regular violence between strangers is pretty horrible too lol
@ yeah but I think domestic violence is worse because you are sometimes dependent on the person who is being violent and the place where you’re supposed to be safe, at home, has an atmosphere of dread. There’s a chronic layer of trauma and betrayal in domestic violence that can wear away at sense of self.
I have to admit that 48 Hours did an amazing job, gripping from start to finish! But it’s really quite confusing how Mary Katherine was acquitted even though she changed her testimony up to 10 times…
I'll NEVER understand how that jury came to that conclusion, I thought the prosecutors did a good job. She is So Damn GUILTY !!!!! 😠
🤍🕊🤍 RIP Steven 🤍🕊🤍
@MurderFilesk9w. 48 hours, Never does an “amazing” job! They are an agenda driven, sensationalistic program.
@@russianaloha4576 I agree!! That jury is an example of just how far this society has devolved into one of almost complete insanity. The individuals of that jury, don ‘t accept personal responsibility for their actions, and subsequently, doesn’t expect anyone else to either.
@Cathy-f6m Emmitt Till's murderers went free after a jury found them not guilty. A year later, they admitted to torturing and killing the young boy in a paid interview with a magazine. That was 1955. Tell me again how this is a sign of today's "insanity"
Dawn Beasley seems like a piece of work.
Her smirk is unbelievable!!!
more like a piece of ________ (word that rhymes with schmit).
I couldn't agree more.
Sling Dawn Beasley in jail !
Her job was so important to her that she was was OK with her friend being killed, her husband going free, and the wrong man being sent to prison. Going to AL to testify would be such an inconvenience to her!
Dawn is awful 🤬 was she on drugs or what? Smh Not only that, her regret and fake crying is infuriating.
Dawn Beasley how selfish could she be? Her life blighted, Tracy’s ex husband lived with all that suspicion all those years. Maybe I’m a hard person, but I just don’t get it
I agree with you 100% she’s an unbelievably selfish person! How could she look herself in the mirror for decades knowing what she knew! Even now the way she talks she sound’s like poor me all we hear is her talk about me,me,me she’s unbelievable!
they need to punish her
Mary Katherine got lucky with the dumbest members of a jury. Very unfortunate there was no justice in that case.
No one would ever toss a gun. Ever. The first time anyone pointed a gun at me loaded or not that would be it. Adios Mother Fr.
Amen!!!!
Agreed! Steven told his friends she pointed a gun at him at least 3-4 times, as a friend, I would try to do my best to convince my friend to leave a dangerous abuser. Red flags were everywhere. It could have been prevented!
And she worked at a gun store.🙄 The jurors should be ashamed! Clearly a massive lie on her part.
😂😂😂
Who keeps a gun next to their bed for protection - but always keeps it unloaded.
What is the point of that. You might as well have an imitation.
She had the gun, she shot him, she's not denying shooting him. They argue a lot. This is crazy.
Those 2 jurors seem to have something against the police or something else. They know she had the gun, they know she shot him.
she admitted shooting him. she is guilty of manslaughter at the very least.
Good morning to all 48 hrs fans out there, have a great weekend!
Thanks same 😊
Good evening from this side; it’s night time in Kenya. 😅 Happy weekend.
I LOVE this group! You have a beautiful weekend too! Loving these marathons!!
😎
♥️💯 Thanks for the greetings and you enjoy each moment of each day♥️
I worry every hour of every day for my son in an abusive relationship… last time, she slammed his face into the wall and broke his glasses and face. He went back. He’s over 700 miles away from me, I can’t help. Makes me sick to think about, but he IS an adult and it’s out of this momma’s hands, but not out of my heart… 😢💙🇺🇸
ur his mom. 700 miles is nothing! GET MOVING before its too late.
Don't ignore it! Get in touch with an organisation specifically for men experiencing DV your son needs help.
Steven was a victim of DV ! Men have to get help just like women! I’m so glad Steven had the friends and family he could count on he almost made it out! RIP Steven
The only authentic crime show 48 hours❤❤❤
❤❤❤
The 2 jurors were wrong. They allowed a murderer go free to punish the cops for their mistakes.
Basically saying the mistakes of the police officers were bigger than her act of murdering Steven wtf
They found her not guilty? Oh my God.
Utterly shocking
It’s a disgusting judgement and those 2 jurors knew themselves she was guilty but then still made that decision not guilty!!! How on earth can that happen??😡
She was so scared of him that she went looking for him to bring him home for a home cooked meal!
All these excuses yet no actual tears.
Am I blind? I don’t see any tears.
The devil was on Mary Kay side to make that audio not work when she confessed!
🤣
Mary Katherine couldn't get a tear to fall
The victim was so handsome, it’s tragic he was with her.
I agree she's so not pretty she did not deserve him in every way
It’s always like that for some reason and they chase them when they can do better
@@nellipalchevskaya2680part of the abuse is to make your victim believe no one else will ever love them and that they’re not good enough….etc etc…. He seemed to be a decent handsome well raised who loved and respected his mama
So she's guilty but not guilty because of the evidence? Those jurors were laughable.
I figured I better scroll down before I post the exact same comment. Sickening how stupid the average person is...and they get to vote and serve on juries.
@@lilyruiz2577 Thanks to those 2 idiots a murderer is walking free. Their justification is so stupid.
Someone who worked in our DA's office told me, "It's not what you know. It's what you can prove. A jury is a different world."
My #1 48 Hours
Mine too, I binge watch the episodes daily ❤❤
WOW!! Welcome to this awesome group that L O V E ❤ these! Hope you enjoyed it!
Welcome to your new addiction 😭
Yeah it’s an addiction but they definitely play with people’s emotions to make some substantial bucks
@@hiteshthacker5914 idc if they use me for a like and subscribe, I enjoy it
He was at his friend's house and you called him over and over to get home and he finally answered and said he's coming home.
If he was so abusive,why do you want him to come home so badly.
If he was so cruel to you , why did you continue to say you love him.
You're a big fat liar.
Those two jurors from the first story should be ashamed of themselves. Both of them talk like they have a 50 IQ. Mary can join the Simpson/Anthony club.
Yes, it is so horrifying that random people hold your life in their hands.
I totally agree, that played like they were heroes shame on them !
What shocked me it was 2 men who persuaded the whole jury. Usually they can see things more clearly than we do without emotions clouding their judgment and they still are like not guilty even though they know in their bones that she was. They let a murderer walk because of a half arsed shotty investigation. There was no question she did it out of anger not self defense. I could understand if there was no evidence of her being the aggressive one but they had plenty and a lot of witnesses to it. Mind boggling….
@@christinamoran1027
Mind boggling indeed
That stinking dawn is evil
Dawn beasley should be arrested!!!
Those two juros are truly despicable, they both think that she is guilty.
It's not about what a juror "thinks," it's a matter of police providing the necessary evidence for the prosecution to prove beyond doubt. The police and prosecution failed that boy's family on what should've been a slam dunk.
Citizens should be weary to reward shotty police work with convictions, honestly. It's a slippery slope. The fact that the jurors believed she WAS guilty, but followed the court instructions of how rulings should be determined, speaks to their integrity. It's not as if they felt great about letting someone off that they believed was a murderer; that is something they knew they would have to live with. Despite all that, they ruled according to the court's mandates. That's not a position I envy.
victor is messed up. & im not just talk'n bout his teeth.
@@ohreally1997
There was plenty of evidence
@@ohreally1997 bull 💩
Being on a jury also includes common sense.
She shot him and he's dead
She belongs in jail
Yeah, in the duty you have to stand up for God sakes, you are there.
The jury got Steven’s case so wrong. Poor Steven. You could tell she’s a liar. She sat there and squirmed while trying to defend herself from interviewer’s questions. She knew he was leaving her and she couldn’t handle it. RIP Steven. You seemed like such a good person.
I am utterly appalled that she got away with murdering Steven. She made damn sure no one else was going to have him, like so many individuals in abusive relationships. Poor soul💔
Domestic Violence goes both ways. Even young men go back into the abuse while trying to leave.
And he sent horrible text messages to her. It looks like they had really bad fights in the past. And somebody threw that food all over the kitchen. When he finally decided to get out, she escalated over the top. These relationships never go one way
Dawn woman is the one to stay away from
. Cunning actress , no remorse , fake tears .
Mary Katherine ought to be ashamed of herself lying on Steven like this ; calling him a rapist ; she’s a pathological liar smh I can’t believe she was found not guilty
My condolences 💐 to Steven’s family and loved ones
The woman from the first story didn’t shed a SINGLE REAL TEAR. I hate to say I know what anybody is thinking in these stories, but she is so obviously lying. She told 3 or 4 different stories about what happened. Then she started making up stories to ruin the man’s character. There are terrible people in this world.
DV goes both ways. It appears Stephan was a victim of DV.
There is strong research which shows that when someone in a relationship threatens self-harm to manipulate the other to stay…that is a STRONG predictor of DV homicide.
To all men and women, if someone ever does that …YOU are in grave danger. Make a safety plan to leave.
Yes, very dangerous. That person is escalating rapidly and not about to let you go without a fight. You can't even let them know you're going.
Also - we human beings have a sixth sense for a reason. It is there to protect us. If you sense even a flicker of a red flag in someone, turn around, walk away and never look back. Do not ignore that intuition. Never question it. Never try to make excuses for it. Trust. I learned that lesson the hard way.
Great comment. Also DO NOT tell them you are leaving.
I can’t believe they found Mary Katherine not guilty! She’ll do it again!
Exactly!
I believe that too.
You don't hand someone a gun with your finger on the trigger. Even people who have never seen a gun would know this.
And no sane person would ever toss someone a gun!
@@ChilledLilacespecially since she knows so much about them
My son had a girlfriend just like that, finally they broke up.
Thank God.
Shes guilty, you can see it in her face. Poor Steven. God rest his soul
I sincerely hope Dawn gets to live the life she deserves, and when she needs help, she’ll be surrounded by friends just as good as she was to Tracy. I hope everyone around her will show her the same mercy she has shown to the family of the victim, and everyone will be just as eager to stand up for her in face of injustice as quickly she stood up for the ex. Hopefully she’ll only meet people as honest and selfless as her, who will care about others just as much as she does. 🙂
That’s so nice of you. I love a good nice nasty read 🫰🏽
BINGO I AGREE 👍
Shocking that Mary Catherine got off. The police incompetence with regard to the recording is astonishing. WTH!
The jury pulled that trigger too! She clearly stated that she shot him on 911 call.
@14:23 Dog's facial expression!!! I've watched this episode before but didn't noticed this dog sensed negative energy of the person next to him.
This dog was definitely deeply unhappy.
Dawn....I mean, I'm glad she finally came forward with the truth because she was forced to, but wow....coward
and she went on to have 3 more children with him ... I'd be sick to my stomach being intimate with a killer
Cheryl, I just love you and adore you for being such an exemplary mom! 🙌🏻 Seeing your tearful eyes breaks my heart. 😢
Mary Katherine's sister is lying for her sister. Her lawyers should be ashamed of themselves for trying to blame the victim.
The reruns drive me nuts. But for Mike's mother I will make an exception. THIS WOMAN❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I get choked up whenever I hear her.
The only reason I’m here for this one is because I saw her on the thumbnail
🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The only "victim" here of domestic violence was Steven. This story is beyond tragic.
Dawn is so selfish 🙄
And she seems so proud of it. SMH 🤦
@@blossom30x4definitely zero shame
"It hurt our pride that we had the wrong person..." Imagine the egos involved in higher profile cases. Scary.
i love watching you guys always sad but happy these families get justice
If Steven had been violent to MK, then why would she be burning up his phone and chasing after him, screaming at the top of her lungs to get him to come home for dinner??? Her story (stories) makes no sense!
He wanted to run away, and that angered her because that meant she couldn't control him anymore. RIP Steven.
Of course she's going to try to turn this on him and blame a dead man that can't defend himself. Sickening
She sounds nuts - period.
Mary Catherine did not shed a single tear! Literally! all that fake crying must have been exhausting!
I noticed the same thing! It was like watching Amber Heard. Not one single freaking tear.
If Mary Katherine was abused she would not have tailgate him and shouted at him to come home. She's pure evil.
It’s easy to make up lies when the victim is not here to defend himself.
The jury did Steven wrong. MK definitely murdered him.
Yeah Dawn, you wanted to preserve your dream of a happy family. How likely would that be to work out when the father of your kids is a murderer?
Cheryl Williams love as a mother to her child was so beautiful despite of the tragedy. Justice was served at last 🙏
Wow, how did she live with herself, Dawn knows who killed her friend Tracy but doesn't want to testify because it will "ruin her life"!??? What a disgusting person!
And it's not like she is out there finding a cure for cancer or rescuing people. She is a mediocre blob that would be lost in the crowd any day. The only thing redeeming about her life would be if she told the truth instead of being a guilty coward.
@@junemarshall-kingsley566💯
She’s a cold blooded killer. That will never change. Stay away from this killer. Full stop.
I am shocked by the first case. I can't believe they let that murdering ******* go.
No tears! Mary Catherine . What a facade.
Mary Katherine totally had me during the 911 call. Perfect performance! But eeeeverything after that sounded so so fake!! Her crocodile tears are so embarrassing…
Stay away from drama chicks. The moment someone tells you, "I'm going to hurt myself if you leave." Here's your sign! It's a sign of a controlling, manipulating narcissist.
Jury system sucks
Who tosses a gun to someone? Whether it's loaded or not 😮 just a dangerous thing to do.
So Dawn was never going to say anything and let an innocent man go to prison by saying she was busy working? What a subhuman for not saying anything from day one! She would rather marry a murderer and have a murderer raise children with her!?! Disgusting 🤮
Some people's sense of justice is so messed up or lack thereof....
Absolutely!
If she cared so much about her "perfect" life, she needed to apply it to self-care and spend the money used to dye her hair on getting her teeth aligned.
@junemarshall-kingsley566 oh my gosh I'm dying laughing because I always say that about people because I worked in beauty for 23yrs and people do that a lot they have the worst teeth, but spend on other things it's so odd to me! One client got breast implants before fixing her massively bad teeth it's crazy lol
Mk is a narcissist pure and simple
Those “ jurors”
To sit there and say she shot him and still vote for not guilty is crazy
Tell us you’re stupid without telling us you’re stupid
Innocent until PROVEN guilty
PROOF beyond a reasonable doubt
