The man loved snakes so much he married one...

[NoranOuf]

The fact that she tried to frame his brother is pure evil

[nancyellehearts]

I think the fact that he told her that it's wrong to pay her employees late speaks to what kind of person he was and what kind of person she is.

For everyone complaining about her getting 16 years...she will even do far less time than that.Depending on what state the trial was in, good behavior credit and her time already served, she will be free in a short time. The justice system is as broken as the rest of America.Most people just don't know how bad it really is.

So the guy who provided the gun got first degree and life, but the woman who pulled the trigger got second degree and 16 years? What an absolute farce.

SOMETIMES BEING SINGLE AND LIVING ALONE IS AWESOME

[--Mike--]

She cheated on him multiple times with multiple guys, then she murdered him cold blooded from behind and then she also tried to ruin his reputation by saying he violated her. And with all that, she got away with 16 years. If hope the jurors get haunted in their sleep by this for the rest of their lifes...

Three years of marriage,
Two affairs in that time-span of marriage,
One murdered husband,
Zero accountability.

[bkaips]

This jury should be ABSOLUTELY ashamed of themselves...

[tyroneu]

She murdered him, inherited everything he built. her family has custody of his child too. She does a couple of years then walks. The injustice done to the guy and his family is sickening

[timbawktoo]

This jury totally dropped the ball with this sentence. She should be in prison for the rest of her life.

[stevens]

The jury should be ashamed for carrying out a travesty of justice. I hope her kids, family members and friends never speak to her, or speak of her. She deserves to be forgotten for the rest of her life.

"Serpent lovers were left rattled." That's a genius line. 😂

[Badtown]

Drug users get longer sentences than this woman. What an embarrassment.

[danab]

He loved snakes so much but married a true serpent. Evil walks amongst us.

Sometimes you look over your life and you think you really made a lot of bad choices until you see the story about someone else's life.

[cjdodgeprimecrime]

16 years!? What a slap in the face of his family and friends!

[rukundomercy]

16 years for a murderer and a liar is wild
What an unfair system

[AccentYouLovingheart]

I agree with Ben’s brother. She got away with destroying the family and 26 years was not punishment enough.

I clicked this title thinking, "omg what did my ex-wife do now?"
