The woman is the poster girl for narcissism..

Pure evil.

[lmjones.]

The only thing about this that shocks me is that she thought she wouldn't get caught.

[MsJodiArias]

She’s been planning his murder since 2015…A psychopath. Greed.

I hope Eric gets justice.

[johannahunderwood]

It turns out that the best way to help kids process their grief is to not kill the person they’re grieving for. Wow! Who knew?

[lindseyhavniear]

This just breaks my soul for 3 boys. She cared more about herself than causing insurmountable pain for her children. Sociopath.

[LawrenceAdele]

Evil comes in all shapes and sizes. RIP Eric 😥

[Ali.Bruni]

Narcissistic and evil beyond comprehension

[lindseyhudson]

The narcissism and lack of empathy that these people have when murdering their partner (their children's other parent) is just astounding to me.

[CourageUnderFire]

I just don’t understand why would anyone keep accepting food/drinks let alone continue to surround themselves with someone they are suspicious of potentially poisoning them???!

[preetipetty]

And, she had the "AUDACITY" to write a book for her kid. Sad

[snoopysatx]

It wasn't enough for her that she murdered her husband, she had to go on tv and promote the book about his death which she caused. Sick b.... 🤬

[BuySellColoradoSprings]

Side note: every licensed insurance agent who provided, changed, sold her policies, should be investigated. Someone was accepting documents signed by her husband without proper identification. And if the docs were notarized? Investigate the notary also.

[CTGDesigner]

This case is absolutely without a doubt one of the coldest, inhuman, greedy and monstrous I've ever heard of. "Who the bleep did I Marry", comes to mind. This level of low is about as low as anyone can go. Talk about betrayal beyond measure. 100% psychopath...this woman is the devil. I feel sorry for the boys.

[mahamehanna]

I can’t believe that Eric suspected that his wife tried to poison him several times, yet continued to drink and eat what she served him. I feel sorry for him and his kids. There is no perfect crime. No matter what criminals do to get away with crimes, they get exposed and caught, at least in most cases.

[FCESWS]

This is exactly what the death penalty was made for.

[allypotts]

These poor children have lost both parents and how they’ll grow up knowing all this is so horrific, prayers to his children

[Jenny-nzfb]

“Took us all by shock” is such a weird phrase. Loads of narcissists don’t know how to speak authentically about their emotions because they don’t have authentic emotions.

[daniellecruz]

What she has done to her children....it's diabolical

[diogomonica]

I dont get it!!! She had such an amazing life! Loving good looking husband, beautiful kids, more than financially stable and this psycho still wasn't happy

[jenniferharris-uxvx]

The defense is going to say: if he truly thought she was poisoning him, why would he remain in the marriage or allow her to prepare anything for him?
The answer is that he *did not want to believe* that the mother of his sons and the woman he married was capable.
She is a psychopath. For those who aren't, it's difficult to recognize it.
