I feel for these poor kids. I do. I just don't understand how it's 'okay' or makes this woman any less crazy/evil/dangerous just because she may have been abused. Someone who can murder another in such a savage way should be given the death penalty. That's all there is to it as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Bernina]

Is it a replay of the doc's testimony on KPHO's feed?

Yes, they are "dark" on the children.

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

wow - is this coached testimony or truthful - what is the opinion?

 

[LambChop]

I cannot believe these children were made to testify. If MD gets the death penalty they will think it was their fault because they did not do enough. jmo

 

[rose222]

And what kind of message does this send to those little ones? That murder can be justified? That violence is okay? Twisted world we live in.

 

[Bernina]

These children have had no physical contact and just 1 phone call to CMMD in the last 4+ years.

This is rotten to the core. Those poor kids!

 

[LambChop]

wow - is this coached testimony or truthful - what is the opinion?

Well, since the grandmother will go no where near the stand I'd say they were probably coached. If grandma doesn't take the stand she can't be forced to tell the truth.

Hopefully the State will be permitted to play the phone call between the grandmother and MD where they are discussing how the children will testify. jmo

 

[rose222]

If this woman had been a good mother then she would have explained to her kids that what she did was WRONG. Period. No excuses. And she would have never allowed her children to testify. But then again a person who can slaughter another human being cannot be expected to behave in a decent manner.

Stopped by #MarissaDevault hearing. She ought to be charged with another #aggravatingfactor for allowing her daughters on the stand. #cruel

Yes....
