She had a few opportunities to ditch the humiliation before Cooper's death. She caught him. *advertiser censored* addiction, he said! Marched him to the church to disclose. She knew the accountability guy was in place, but according to her testimony, she did not know that guy called it quits. She wasn't interested enough to find out, be supportive of his abstinence (which was the goal, right? but didn't exactly work). When did the humiliation quotient max out? After he killed Cooper?
I think we all have responsibilities for our lives......choices are made and consequences just fall into place.
After the killer was arrested, she found out about all his other escapades. Was that enough humiliation to divorce him? Guess not since she continued to visit him in jail for almost 2 more years and waited until a few months before the trial to divorce him. One would think it would have been humiliating to testify on his behalf after it was clear that the man she married was not only a killer but a pervert, but again---guess not. Strange woman.
