Dr Grande said she indicated she was fine with her husband scamming innocent women for money, as long as he didn't have sex with them. She had zero empathy for those women. Maybe she didn't expect people to die, but she was 100% on board with insurance scamming and claiming she lost a Picasso. She deserves 50 years.

To know a mother and a nurse put so many at risk over an insurance payday was just sickening. At first, many of us couldn't sleep at nights out of fear our own gas line would blow up. Then when we found out she did it, it made for sleepless nights thinking how easy it was for one person to blow up an entire neighborhood.

Kudos to the fire investigators who determined the cause of the explosion. Many activities act as clues to arson like vacating the house, removing valuables, raising insurance, etc. Good job investigators!

Dear Lord, what is wrong with some people?? My family & I had to evacuate from an apt. that we rented from a lifelong family friend. My son called me down where boiler was located. All I could smell was (mercaptan) rotten egg smell all throughout the basement. Told him to take cell phone but not to press any buttons, light switches,etc. & go out of house far away & call FDNY. They came asap. We all evacuated, they shut down gas valve lines. House was ready to explode.😢

This explosion was SO disruptive and damaging to so many people for quite a long time. The neighbors who lost their homes were displaced for years. It was CRAZY. Plenty of lingering PTSD, too.

I think the sentence is fair. As well as taking two lives, she likely ruined many others. Not everyone can afford the best home insurance and I bet that some of the people whose homes were pulled down lost substantially, perhaps to the point of not being able to buy new homes (unless the state compensated them). She had SO MUCH time to think and stop it. Not only did she know (and apparently not care) that he was defrauding other people, their scheme had failed twice. Anyone with a conscience would have contacted police.

Shoutout to Snowball

My co-worker blew up his house using the fill-the-house-up-with-natural-gas method also. I never heard how the gas was ignited. His body was found in the basement where the natural gas line entered the house. The house was completely destroyed but somehow the nearby houses received only partial damage. I lived a couple of miles from his house and when it happened we were entertaining my sister and brother-in-law at my home. We heard and felt a large ‘thud’ sound and I thought our young children were jumping off a bed upstairs. I only found out the next day about the explosion. I liked my co-worker but I also knew that his wife had taken their kids and had left him. I knew this because we lived next door to the wife’s sister and she filled us in on the domestic drama. It came to light that his wife had good reasons to leave him. He was kind at work but I guess he had a hidden side of controlling and angry behaviour within his home. The common cliche of “no one knows what goes on behind closed doors” was true in his case.

They found the exact very specific threads from THAT specific outfit! It was AMAZING! Someone even found THAT catalog! They also used a mid-90s Honda interior, over the correct 70s one, but I'd only know that b/c I had one. Finding threads and a catalog was a great show. FYI, every SEARS catalog is online, verbatim, anyone who likes that stuff. In 75, the Wish Book was OVER 600 pages!

A Picasso? Damn, I only own 2 Monet's. 😂😂

Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; only speculating about what could be happening when a house blows up real good like this.

Robert Leonard must’ve been the original model for Homer Simpson. Doh! 🍩

50 years is 'excessive' for a woman who knew about the plot & did nothing to stop it & didn't care who got harmed? Oh, yeah, sorry, she must have been 'tricked' by the guy's 'charm.' A woman could never have an immoral or criminal impulse on her own... it has to be the guy's fault. She's as culpable as everyone else in this sad sad affair. BTW what happened to the child? Did the father get custody? That's the only GOOD I see coming out of this.

Considering than in most developed countries such a sentence would be impossible I guess one could say so, then again in the US sentences seem to be excessive almost always to the rest of the world

Such extreme sentences are the outliers. Usually, people do very little time​ in the US. Murder is often plea bargained down to manslaughter and the killer is out in about 7 years, or less. This doesn't make us happy. Most of us believe that too lenient sentences don't show reverence for human life, encourage victims to retaliate, and are inadequate to protect the community. @oceanstaiga5928

As an Australian who has a degree in criminal justice, i think that sentencing in the U.S is much better than here in Australia, or the U.K, Canada, and other countries in Europe. ​@@oceanstaiga5928

​@oceanstaiga5928 Indeed, US sentences are excessive, clearly doesn't act as deterrent, people rotting in jail for years seems like cruel and unusual punishment. The US has prison complexes bigger than some European cities. Their prisons are privatised so there is a profit motive. Sick society. Yes, I am from the UK

@@helenmcdonnell2585 I myself have never been to the US let alone any prison there but from the statistics it is unsettling how large of a percentage of their population is behind bars. The discussions of punishments for any crime will probably stay forever in our human society but it doesn’t seem that rehabilitation is working quite well yet like you said

I was living in Indiana at the time and remember this like it was yesterday. Men and women are “equal” but people always want women to do less time for the exact same crimes for some reason. She was involved in a fraudulent scheme that got 2 people killed and caused millions in damages. If you are an adult and allow someone to manipulate you, that is still YOUR DECISION. Stupid games lead to stupid prizes. Her sentence was too light.

Of course you showed a picture of snowball the cat. 😁😁

She is serious, don't call her Shirley

As a Puerto Rican we don’t claim her.

Judge: "Ma'am, before I read the verdict, would you like to express remorse regarding the 2 innocent people whose lives were shattered?" Monserrate Shirley: "Of course, knowing Mark and Bob are facing those long years in jail is pure agony… eh, uhm…can I go now?"

@5:52 Unbelievable, no regard for anyone else's safety.

Demolition of 30 homes definitely was far more than 4 million dollars… (if this is accurate.. where are large beautiful homes only $130k????) I’d imagine just the destruction of personal property would be more than 4 million.

Actually housing in some suburbs of Indianapolis was extremely affordable at the time. It’s one states with the lowest cost of living still. These are cookie cutter houses in cookie cutter neighborhoods that pop up all over the place in surrounding areas of Indianapolis.

Damn, all of this unnecessary carnage over a few dishonest Benjamin Franklins ……brutal

Dr Grande, please reconsider your analysis. Montsie was 50+ years responsible.

I wonder who paid for the rebuilding especially if some residents were not insured

Excessive punishment? This is why defense needs a female lawyer in such cases, less likely to cave in to a woman's crocodile tears.
