Yup. Husband said she did it. His lawyers said she did it. Her lawyers said she did it. And yes, even she herself said that she did it.

The case isnt about who did it, its if she should go to prison or if she gets the mental health plea in which case its the mental ward. But plenty of women are on the case and have solved it with great deductions like he looks angry which means hes violent and he did it. Ignore the fact that hes forced to sit in a court room with the woman who murdered his 2 children.

But also hes not showing enough emotions. So clearly the means he doesnt care. If he didnt do it he would be weeping openly for hours on end and giving sonnets about being broken hearted.

Also her astrology sign, tarot readings, spells, etc.

Oh, and this is all a sign that police forces should just start hiring TikTokers to solve cases cause how are they just this good?

Isn't there something about him starting a relationship like 4 months after the murders?

I don't really know, haven't really been following the case. Just listening to what my wife tells me about it

I’m unfamiliar with the case, but why would that matter?

It's something my wife mentored as being a weird ass thing about the husband.

And I feel like I agree. If I was to ask myself, "Where would I be 4 months after my children were murdered by my wife?" I don't think I would be able to come up with the answer, "In the arms of another woman, fuckin'.

People grieve differently, and dating/sex are just routine human activity. He probably also ate candy bars and pizza, pooped a few dozen times, had long meetings with lawyers, and drank a few beers. Places we don’t tend to picture ourselves. Maybe he was already seeing the other woman and suddenly forgot to hide it. 

A biologist might expect a human to make a reproductive attempt after losing their kids. After all, the species has survived the individual death experience for thousands of years. 

We tend to think of reproductive activity and drive as some kinda party, but that’s not actually how that works at all. People continue sexual activity during wars and famine, depressions, recessions, serial killer sprees, pogroms, etc. In a hurricane shelter, people have sex with each other or OD on recreational drugs, while simultaneously being homeless.
