Todd said he was going by 2 friends' homes to fix windshields, yet his wife had to be at work at 8. Why would he make her late? Cause he was lying.

[cchan]

As a medical doctor myself I think he is guilty as sin. When I saw the medical examiner's report and the extent of injuries... that sealed the deal for me. Glad he's where he belongs.

[claymac]

The way the children totally ignore their dead mother and instantly defend their pathetic father is very telling of the family dysfunction.

[sarahs]

The scratches on his body and neck, the fact that no truck went by as recorded by the horse ranch surveillance cameras, the three different stories and outright lies he told along with her unusual injuries made me believe she was ended by her husband and the scene was staged.

"He doesn't lie" says daughter. But dad lied 3 times about where he was going...

[moryan]

When I was a kid, my dad was my favorite because he was more fun. He was an alcoholic, compulsive gambler who never gave a second thought about his family. I came to realize this as I aged. My mom was a rock who often raised us as a single mom. She was the best…dad, nope!

My ex and I technically had no domestic violence/trouble issues anyone knew of. If I would have died they wouldn’t have known the truth of our relationship behind closed doors. I kept it from the kids, even my best friend till much later. They couldn’t believe he was two different personalities and would have thought I was wearing the pants (he would overly dote on me and act like I was the one in charge, in public). I started to secretly record the truth because I knew no one would believe me.

So sad. I hope those kids find healing in the truth.

[BlkMagickGaia]

He flat out lied THREE times about why he was on that route and his kids don't see how problematic that is ? Wow

[rafaelsanchez]

This man not only killed his wife, but now he is killing his children financially, making them pay for an absurd defense.

[richardherdman]

So let me get this straight. A windshield installer blames the death of his wife on a freak windshield accident on his way to (3 nonexistent) windshield installation appointments?

[gj]

Daughter just said dad doesn’t lie. Yet they caught him in multiple lies.

[tigerlilygirl]

I watched this entire trial and after hearing all the evidence, it was very clear the jury got this one right.

[alyssabird]

The fact they were asked to say something they missed about their mom and they took it as an opportunity to talk further about their father is so disappointing. Barbara deserved better. Rest in peace.

[dspencer]

It’s such a waste of time interviewing the accused’s family members. They are blinded by love and loyalty to the point where they don’t realize how irrational they sound

[LoveHealsAndProtects]

Why is everyone ignoring the witness who saw car in a ditch with no windshield damage??

[alisongreen]

Daughter is asked about missing her mom and dad, and finally we see tears- over her father’s absence.
When talking about her daughter, she says it’s sad “he’s not around”- not “they”. And she and her family can visit her dad, but her mother is dead….yet only the loss of her father elicits any emotion.
That is really, really, really…..weird.

[Laura-tpwz]

Didn’t the kids have anything nice to say about their deceased mom?😢 RIP Barbara 🌸

[pal]

Since he has scratch marks, didn’t they check under her nails? Oh my gosh, that would be one of the first things that they should’ve done in the autopsy.

[jamessherosick]

It's kind of sickening to see how you can pay experts to say anything you need them to say.

[cheri]

If he killed her with a gun like kids suggest that would be to obvious he did it. So he takes a pipe and pretends it's an accident from the road. Glad the jury saw the truth
