the TH's are saying seeing her crying could cause the jury to be sympathetic and feel sorry for her....ay yi yi
IF she had just shot him 1 time then maybe, just maybe someone could believe self defense.
IF she hadn't done the pre-meditative and cover up type things like dye her hair, create an alibi with Ryan, get gas cans from her ex, put the sheets in the washing machine, send the family flowers, attend the memorial service, keep recordings of phone sex. IF he hadn't been stabbed 29 times (even in the head) and had his throat slashed and on and on then could someone say yes, I believe it could be she acted in self defense. BUT since all those conditions ARE present.......c'mon
