I love how text messages and internet searches have led to the conviction of countless murderers.

Having worked with Amish over the last 30 years. They aren't any better and less evil than the "outsiders". There are good and bad people in every people group.

[theresarasche]

Why is he or her even getting out of prison? They killed a woman and left her children without a mom. I don't understand why it wasn't life without parole?!?!

[VeeLondon]

I’m hoping Barbara’s children are safe, healthy and doing well.

[carmensaify]

"Amish stud" are two words I never considered together...😄

[roberttalbot]

Disgusting, . Eli should have went to prison for at least 30 years with no chance of parole.

[HugaHeather]

Neither one of those weirdos got much time for permanently taking away a mother from 5 children. They both should've received life without parole or at the minimum 50 yrs to life. Geez

[mrt]

Remember folks, evil's got many faces.

[danielromans]

He deserves so much more punishment than what he received 🤧

[gloriaculberson]

Eli biggest worry was being ostracized by the amish community for killing his wife, I wished he would have thought about his 5 children growing up without their mother.

[KatelinTheKat]

The coldness of Eli is disturbing. "Blow up the house with my kids inside"

[robyn]

The Amish can look outside their community & make excuses, but evil was within that community living amongst them. RIP to wife🙏 I hope the 5 children were given counselling & a good loving, supporting home. The ‘stud’ needed life without parole, he got off easy. He destroyed his whole family

[HollieMoodie]

What didn't make sense was Barb's motive. Did she really think once his wife was dead, he would take her, convert her to amish, marry her, and they would live happily ever after?!

[maureenshaw]

How sad for the woman. Sadly now her children will have to grow up without their mother. God bless them. Rip Barbara. From Liverpool England UK 🇬🇧

[andyd]

The way the lady described him as an Amish Stud felt so unnatural.

[CDN]

That is a rough 39!! Barbara looks at least 59. Wow.
Technology isn't evil the people who use it often are though.

[boondocks]

15 yrs??? That's a crime in itself

[HappyHippie]

horrible people! also...i cant believe she was 39!!! she looked like she was about 60

[mikefromwa]

She's 39? That is without a doubt the roughest 39 I have ever seen.

[TheBeardedAtheist]

39 years old? She looked 59 if not more. Crazy all that hard labor can do to you.
