    I just got dismissed as a juror in this case , thank God.
  • @yesimemoin0935
    Wouldn't injuries from a beating vs being run over by a car look completely different?
  • @user-uz5ko8sv2f
    She always appears arrogant and is always smiling like a cheerleader… something isn’t right here…
  • If your boyfriend was murdered and you’re being accused, why would you go around smiling like a hero?
  • @jpaul8419
    Lifetime Network will make this story into a TV film
  • @keimo2007
    Doesn't look like a grieving widow.
  • @jaystoner9475
    She did an internal investigation and found no wrong doing.
  • @edenlopez1221
    After she investigated herself she was able to determine she commited no crime and is determined to uphold her standing as a citizen.
  • @grossguy9570
    I'm confused how anyone has the time to be a supporter of this woman.
  • @ragnarrock2478
    Followed this from the start.. too many questions.. planted evidence, chain of custody problems. According to FBI his Injuries don't line up with being backed into by a car, and the car damage does not line up with hitting a person. Investigators close relationships with the occupants of the house, two of which including an ATF agent destroyed their phones when they were ordered to turn them over by the court.

    She has quite the arrogant appearance when they show her.

    When I was living in Boston I had a state police officer falsely accuse me of a crime I did not commit that I suspect had some ties to dirty law enforcement activity. Not the same agency as BPD or Canton PD but I know firsthand that false accusations to cover up for one of their own is not unheard in this neck of the woods, it’s deep in Boston law enforcement culture. I’ve learned all the details and from what I’ve heard I wouldn’t rule out anything the defense is positing. I’m pro law enforcement btw this is not meant to slander the institution just shed some light on this case.
  • she investigated herself, and found no wrong doing. pretty standard stuff. what's the big hubub.
  • @SuperMogul
    I've never heard of her case before. The media has been focused on OJ Simpson.
  • @TwoDogsBigYard
    If a person is "missing" and you find them, that's a sign of guilt, not innocence... especially if they are dead / injured and can't talk.
  • @usucdik
    So the trial is to determine what kind of medal she will be awarded?
