I did a double take when the daughters took the stand and I heard Alexis state her surname as Sommers rather than MacNeill. At first i thought it was because she married someone named Sommers, but then I remembered that was Michele‘s birth surname. She denied her own father‘s name. That made me smile.

Months later we were waiting to get our recreation time at 7pm and I remember they locked the whole jail down and kept us in our cells that night because he tried to end his life with one of those crappy single blade razors.

I feel bad for the son. Just because he was in the house does not mean he was involved. He may have been full of guilt for being at the house, and not knowing or not checking on his mother.. felt so much guilt. Then his school life, what he aimed for his entire childhood, ruined by one letter. Ultimately the combination of depression, feeling lost, heavy guilt, led him to take his own life. RIP 🙏

how does he falsify his transcript and then go on to become a medical director? This world is a clown world.

She was raised a Mormon, and she was, at least in part, thinking like a Mormon and doing her part as the dutiful wife. I would also wager that on top of that, the very manipulative Martin did a number on her self-esteem. Abusers tend to work hard at eroding away at the sense of self of those they abuse, saying things like "I'm the only one who will ever love you" and "I'm the only one who could put up with you". And then there's the fact that he made violent threats, as Mike detailed earlier. I wouldn't be surprised if she honestly couldn't see any way out.

We all said “ok, here is their missing piece.” They dated four years and are now planning their wedding and family. Her aunt and I were friends and set them up. So.... listen to your family kiddos... we can see a bigger picture from a different perspective without the cloud of emotion. Sometimes Mama DOES know best. I feel so dang bad for Michelle and Alexis. Michelle seemed like a decent person and Alexis is a freaking hero as far as I am concerned. I’m so glad she was able to get the kids.

So I actually was a paralegal for the defense on this case. The defense attorneys worked extremely hard to make sure that there was a lot of evidence presented and a lot of it got very technical from a medical standpoint. The point of it all is to make sure that justice is actually served, so the load of evidence and long deliberation is actually a really good thing. It means that his guilty verdict was well considered and very difficult to overturn. That being said, Martin was a terrible person and I hated it every time he was at the office. Dead eyes. The primary defense attorney is one of the best men I've ever known. He did the case pro-bono and just wanted to make sure that the truth was discovered beyond a reasonable doubt. He worked harder on that case than most people work in their entire lives. It really changed my perspective on defense attorneys.
