BBM: I think you have to confess when you plea. Too bad I think he tells the truth almost as much as Jodi- close to never
I hear you, Mommy. She was in her late 20's; he's got nearly a decade on her before he struck. Having an affair even with her best friend, isn't against the law. Only despicable. Murdered wife? Greed & narcissism in this case. Didn't want to "share." Wanted a guaranteed "win" in the matrimonial courts. He was not going to get it. He would have had to "share," and then some.
His other problem, IMO, was his affair was not just an ordinary affair, but was with one of Jen's BFs, if not closest GF...major problem if one has narcissistic traits. He may not have taken this route, had it been simply another woman. May have simply tried to decimate and destroy her through the matrimonial court system...through custody issues, financial issues, etc.
So he had credit card debts, etc. in the past? VI Rick Blaine (and others-his friends), never saw violence between them; no overt abuse obvious between them or by him. He gaslighted her, MO.
He was middle America, No? A home, children, friends, college-educated, fairly personable, verbal, a stable income, a pension/401K, a few beers with the college buds, the coach, etc.
He took a detour...Big Time.
Is he possibly a pathological liar like JA? Yeah, probably.
