I wonder if the deciding factor was whether Simon turned up or not. If he did, he might possibly have been the only victim, and then she would have the family all to herself and get rid of her 'problem'. Plan B was to pay him back for not turning up.
I'm starting to see the direction this story is likely heading. She's laying the groundwork by talking about her low self-esteem due to her weight, plans for gastric reduction surgery, and secret bulimia, something she claims no one knew about. That part is probably going to be used to explain...
Maybe her original plan was simply to poison Simon. She could have invited all the other dinner guests as a cover, with only Simon meant to fall ill and die —no one else affected. His death might have been put down as another unexplained illness, like the one he had before, avoiding any...
After seeing how she responded to his message about not feeling comfortable going to the lunch, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he’d been dealing with emotional manipulation for a long time. It could explain why she still seems to have a bit of a hold on his emotions.
I’ve noticed a bit of a pattern in her personality where it looks like she has used health concerns to gain sympathy or manipulate people, and it’s probably worked well for her in the past— it seems she tried the same approach to bring everyone together for the special lunch, but this time Simon...
I don't think she expected it to turn into a police investigation—she probably assumed it would be viewed as just an unfortunate case of food poisoning and that things would end there.
I was also wondering why so many men were picked. Maybe the defense thought that Men would find her attractive and be manipulated more easily by her 'fake pouting'!
To me it sounds like they've ticked the guilty box for the murder charge and are now working there way through the special circumstances evidence. Hoping today is verdict day!
Yes it does seem like the Jury are being through which is great. I remember watching the Michelle Troconis trial—it was kind of similar because there was a lot of circumstantial evidence in that one too. I'm pretty sure the jury took about 15 hours to decide over three days.
Geez I hope Levine hurries up and gets his closing over and done with. I'm wondering what was he getting at when he seemed to imply that Fabio had lied about having a colonoscopy, I thought perhaps he was trying to tarnish Fabio's character so the Jury wouldn't see him as quite so perfect. I...
This prosecutor is amazing, she is leaving zero room for doubt. This would have to be the longest closing argument I've ever listened too, but I'm so impressed by her and I love her little pieces of sarcasm she seems to effortlessly just throw in at the right time.
I agree those circumstances are damning and also what shocked me and convinced me of her guilt early on was the fact that she was viewing the home security cameras while she was at Target after Baker left, so she would have been watching when Baker arrived at her home to kill Fabio.
I found...
Completely agree with you. It was also a bonus that she had teenage daughters and I'm sure he had his eye on them. He's a con man and at the moment she's a means to an end if he can get her off the charges for the financial benefits and maybe even get some conjugal visits.
