The justice system needs to be revised. Like now. It's so old school.

If driving to the hospital is the fastest way to get an injured person medical care, as opposed to waiting for emergency services to come to you, then it makes perfect sense to not call 911 until you’re already on the road. Why would you waste valuable time calling before you leave for the hospital, when you can make that call while you’re moving and let them know what’s going on.

One was black guy when the police were looking at for a white guy. I can't remember the specifics of the third other than it was a white guy. Also watched plenty of cases this channel were the husband's/bf's interview behaviour were supposed to indicate their guilt only to find out they had nothing to do with it.

Yes! That is exactly what I think happened and is what I've thought since watching the trial live. Fact, she was dizzy. Having recently had a surgery of some sort. She walks into a storage barn/shed on a farm. Of course it's going to have everyday farm implements and other items in with the pet carrier. She walks in and gets dizzy, she falls back into the rake twines. She is hurt, bleeding and a nurse. She knows how bad she is hurt and knows she has to move herself. She pulls herself off and now the blood loss on top of being dizzy and she falls back into it. I've lived in the country my entire life in the country and this is totally in the realm of possibility.

I'm horrified by what that juror said about him being 'cold'. I was on a jury a while ago and we were so careful to avoid making snap judgements like that. Whether or not he did it, I'm appalled that they managed to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on what the prosecution presented.

One of the end prongs missed her, so just 3 prongs punctured her for each hit. I think she fainted and fell on the 3 prongs, and while removing the rake, she fell on the 3 prongs again on a slightly different angle due to pain and loss of blood.

It’s scary that he was convicted on the point of not calling 911 but instead taking her to the hospital. Ambulances can take ages to arrive, especially in places in the middle of nowhere, maybe on his appeal they will gather more evidence that actually does prove his guilt because this isn’t enough. As far as disposition: him being ‘guilty because he looked cold’, thats another tragic judgement. When my best friend died of suicide, I didnt outwardly show emotion, everyone is different, so it was foolish of them to mark him as guilty just because of these 2 things.

Wow, life without the possibility of parole! I was surprised to hear that verdict. It seems like there were a lot of holes, or things left out, maybe we just didn't hear them in this broadcast. Call me crazy but I could see why he would have put her in the car and started driving before calling 911. You would be in such a state of shock to find your loved one in such a condition, and you just want to get her the hell to the hospital! It's like the instinct to pull something out of your skin even though it will make you bleed faster. You almost do it without thinking, because you just want it out of you! And to say that he was without emotion or cold? Trauma and grief effects everyone differently. Maybe he did it, maybe he didn't, but something about this case felt very wrong to me. It is a tragedy all around.

There is so much reasonable doubt it’s shocking that he was convicted. Terrifying to think someone’s fate is left in the hands of random jurors which are not necessarily well versed in understanding and interpreting the law or even have passed some sort of test that proves they have acceptable methods to think things through in general.

It’s extremely common for people in rural areas to either not call 911 and transport the injured person themselves, or call 911 on their way. We’ve had to call an ambulance before and it took them almost as long to get to our home than it did had we just drove them ourselves. The internet searches could have been made by anybody, especially the man she was cheating with being he worked there and probably had access to their computers.

Ex: she went into the red shed, while trying to get the cat box she got dizzy and fell on the corn rake, tried to pick herself up but fell again. Also, if she would have been “hit” 3 times wouldn’t we have 12 stab wounds? Instead of 6? Also, I think the friends are exaggerating a little. You can never rely on word of mouth, people like to twist things around to make it fit. I think she was cheating, looked up what happens to cheating wives. This whole case is a joke.

They also moved her in general, which is also a bad idea. You don’t ever move an injured person as that too can worsen their condition.

When people live way out of town, they typically call 911 on the way to the hospital so an ambulance can meet them halfway.

I think tons of reasonable doubt, and that the jurors speculated about why he pulled over, why he removed the fork...and he seemed a cold fish....that's all speculation and feelings, and jurors are not supposed to do that. Yikes.

Yes...the jurors were judging by "preponderance of evidence" instead of "reasonable doubt." If I were in that jury pool I would have been aggressive in reminding them about that, as we deliberated.

What I find baffling is that there was no blood splatter found , neither on the husband or where the wife was found. In my view you can’t brutally impale someone and there be no trace on you whatsoever. Just doesnt make sense

When you don't have investigators collecting evidence & detectives requesting investigators what to collect and how to also you get what you get. We need legistation passed to support police academy's for all deputies/sheriff's to learn police work before doing ANY investigations/detective work EVER without the correct training & knowledge. Period.

By the end of most of these cases, I’m happy to see justice served. This case leaves a lot of questions and I’m not confident the jury got this one right 😢

I feel like everyone on the jury forgot their objective. "GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT". EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER has their doubts on this case. It very well could be that he killed her, but the only question a jury needs to answer time and time again is, "IS HE GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT?" I swear even the judge forgot. It's not about justice, it's not about revenge, it's not even about doing the right thing, it's about preventing sending someone who MIGHT be innocent to jail. Not about finding justice for her "killer" if there even was one. Does all the evidence point to this man being a murderer? Maybe a little? But not all? Then don't send him to jail.

Same. I wonder if there is an update or if he was able to appeal.

We live an hour from the nearest hospital. No one would call 911 and WAIT for them to come to us. We all head to town and THEN call 911. They can meet us enroute. Thats totally normal around here. I can easily envision Amy falling on the rake, attempting to extricate herself from it (son said he found her on her hands and knees), getting one side of herself lifted off just 2 tines, and then falling again, out of strength, and accounting for 6 punctures. "reasonable doubt" is there. A conviction is wrong where reasonable doubt is present.

Having served on a Jury, its scary to think how your supposed peers view things. This man may well have commited this crime but no way in a million years there was enough evidence to convict him.

From what was presented in this episode, he certainly deserved to have the case re-tried

This guy couldn't have been more genuine and real, the system failed this gentleman he straight up got rail roaded into a guilty verdict. No direct evidence that point to him as being her attacker, this vary well could have been a rare bizarre accident. This man deserves a new trial and defense team!!

But can you honestly say you’ve googled things like that? Especially around the time someone close to you dies in a mysterious circumstance. Any how to’s is very suspicious to me. I didn’t hear any here but for other cases. I’ve googled definitions of certain words or the legal terms. Never anything about death or killing.

There is no enough evidence for him to be convicted. Beyond a reasonable doubt is absurd. Jurors dropped the ball on this one. Wild

Glad the juror understands farmer’s emotions so well…… Not guilty.

I also live in a very rural area. I've called the police when I saw a woman being beaten by her drug addicted, adult granddaughter. The police called me an two hours later wanting to know if the victim and abuser were still across the street! When I said no, he wanted to know where I thought they were! My sister-in-law fell straight back, hitting her head on our tile kitchen floor due to a seizure. She was unconscious. It took the ambulance almost 30 minutes to reach our house. Then they almost refused to take her to the hospital because she knew her name and who the president was. If someone lives in a rural area, we know we have to take action, not depend on emergency services to come to us. This man deserves a new trial for many reasons, not the flimsy issue of when he called 911 and the fact his son didn't see him for a few minutes while getting a drink in a different area of the barn.

He just wanted to get her to the closest hospital as he could, not wait an hour+ for an ambulance to get there. As for not callin 911 asap, he was probably in shock!

I’ve been a juror and some of the conclusions the other jurors come up with where based off personal feelings and/or their religion. Not to mention if you end up with a group of jurors who cannot interpret the law, innocent people will be convicted and guilty people will walk free. Some people would rather convict than potentially let a guilty person go. It’s terrifying. Someone’s fate really comes down to that.

I don't see her husband calling after putting her in a truck being all that suspicious. Idk how this ends, but two thirds of the way through it doesn't look good for Todd. And wtf, he tells his wife to get something out of the red shed. He doesn't see what she was asked to.get. doesn't seem totally unreasonable to ask your kid to check the place he asked his wife to go. Again idk how it ends, but this guy's wife fooled around on him to begin with, and because of that it's HIS character that's brought into question.
