Even she did murdered that woman, I’m glad she wasn’t hanged…how her husband acted was outrageous…not even mentioning that woman…

[oldstevemurray]

The message I take away from this, don't mess with a Southern girl, it wont end well.

[ajkleipass]

It seems that Bob got the message not to dishonor his wife a second time.

[suemankins]

Kate was overwhelmed with knowing she was being treated like she was nothing!!! An act of passion… I feel for her!!! Her husband and his mistress were disrespectful to her to her in her family’s home!!!

[chrissmith]

Even though murder is terrible and unthinkable, putting anyone in complete embarrassment and ridicule would put anyone at risk of behavior that wouldn't be normal for that individual. Good call by governor

[dorothyblair]

Could all have been avoided if the husband had not disrespected his wife in front of everyone and put his energy into his marriage instead of dallying with his side chick.

Jealousy, Humiliation, and Anger are a dangerous mix. Stupid husband 🤦🏾‍♂️

[seandelap]

Jealousy is one human trait thats never changed

[pangorban]

The behaviour of the husband and his father and brothers was quite extraordinary! Despite witnessing the horror of what Kate did, they all acted in unison on the spur of the moment and gave up everything to protect her from the law, voluntarily becoming fugitives themselves. Not many men, either then or now, would be so noble. On that basis alone, this has to be one of the most bizarre Brief Cases I've seen.

Man, thats a Christmas party the guests probably didnt forget. This was a really good episode. It's like something out a novel. The loose woman trying to steal the husband away from the protagonist. He uncontrolled jealousy leading to a murder in front of the entire town, followed by their run from the law and eventual trial and pardon. Good stuff

[michellel]

😂 She got what she was askin for. You don't mess with another woman's husband Knowing he's married. Especially in front of his wife.😠

[lisageiger]

She asked him nicely not to embarrass her in front of her family and he did. He should have been held accountable too. I love you BC I don’t know how you do it but once again a fabulous case. Thank you😎

[barbarajolley]

"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned..." I am glad that the governor commuted Kates' sentence. While murder is not to be condoned, this situation occurred as a result of an emotional reaction of a deeply hurt person. As the doctor testified, Kates was also having diminished psychological state as a result of seizure. Thank you, BC. Another fascinating case:).

[annmarie]

Brilliant and bold young lady taking back her reputation in society. Not many women had courage to take matters in her way. Brave lady 😊

[bobbyrutherford]

The one great thing about Mondays is that Brief Case uploads another great case

[forgetmenotjem]

i found myself holding my breath when you announced the verdict. So glad that she ended up only serving a few years in prison

[lisanunlist]

Actually, Narcissa is a beautiful name: from the flower narcissus (daffodil/jonquil) named for the vain young Greek god. I don’t think Kate was jealous of her, just enraged that she was disrespecting her marriage, her dignity.

[charlotteinnocent]

Bob was a complete jerk. And the inviting of Narcissa to the party was also a stupid move if she was the kind of woman to sneak about walking in the woods with a married man. I feel the commuted sentence was appropriate, as was the guilty verdict, but I feel Bob got off lightly for instigating the whole thing and that Kate's parents should have been more concerned with her emotional well being than making everything look right socially with the handling of the party. Great story, good cautionary tale!

[bingsballyhoo]

It is another example of what a train-wreck of consequences can come as the result of a straying spouse.

[deealex]
