Marcia has been fighting for her life for all of these years. I hope this verdict makes her feel that she no longer has to fight.

[BosMass]

Good for her. I hope she heals from the trauma of the abuse.

[amvderby]

This is a win for all the women that had no choice in defending themselves

[evannierenberg]

She had clearly been traumatized from many instances of physical and mental abuse and am happy the jury saw the same.

[Jayrey]

The judge screaming so unprofessional… ! SMH 🤦‍♀️. Good for the lady she is free 🙏🏼

[Rio]

I’m Glad she’s not found Guilty. Poor lady suffered to long with that abuser husband.

[jakebe]

The message to her abuser..You died and no one really cares. Bravo to the Jury...

[amydaniels]

Judge should’ve reminded the audience BEFORE the verdict was read what conduct was expected.

[chrissybrice]

Last nite was her 1st nite with children in 5 years ❤️I am so happy for Marcia and her family!!🙏🏻😭

[JackieM]

Woman have been subjected to abuse for to long. I’m so happy right now that jury made the right decision she had no choice. It’s not easy getting out of abusive relationships you are targeted and threatened and if leave he follows you. It’s not easy. Justice was served. My opinion only

[stephaniediego]

The way her mom/grandma stood up and thanked God had me in tears 😭

[demurred]

That Judge was so unprofessional in many ways.

[EarthIsHell]

How about not screaming stop it! Rude judge. Can't expect everybody who's been on pins and needles waiting on jury's final verdict to remain silent.

[Emily]

Jury got this right! Praying for peace and healing for you and your family ❤

[extofer]

I was okay with the judge saying “stop it” just because it is well known regardless of whether guilty or not guilty that court rooms need to remain neutral. But when the judge told them to not celebrate because someone lost their life - that really shows bias in my opinion. That wasn’t neutral at all. To me, it was the judge that didn’t have decorum.

[gloriajuarez]

When Judge saw the verdict, you can tell she did not like it. Oh well, justice was served!!!

[raquelknabben]

Omg! This judge is so out of heart and compassion for this family! What is the big deal having them celebrating the good news?

[emmarie]

Go live your best life, Marcia!!! get therapy, heal, and be loved. ❤❤❤

[Amanda-cnpk]

Clearly the judge has never, and hopefully never will be, in an abusive relationship, had she, she'd be more compassionate.
