That seemed be a toxic relationship all levels, and having a houseful of guns pretty much turned it into a Chekhov play. We’ve seen so many episodes where cops didn’t address domestic violence leading to tragedy, so it’s hard for me not to believe her. Especially because he was a documented bad dude (I don’t care if he had no record, he admitted to punching walls and hitting animals). I honestly don’t know. Just toxic all around. Two people who never should have been together. I think manslaughter was probably the right call. ETA I do think whoever made the decision to have a 6 year old lead a march and yell into a bullhorn in this manner is a disgusting person.

This is a “reality” show. I suspect TLC presented the storyline and she went with it. It’s not like the cameras just happened to catch her on the random day she decided to check out wedding venues with her boyfriend of 2 months. I think this is just as much of a set up as the “family game night” at Kasa Kody a couple episodes ago.

I read an interview with Anna about some of her directing choices. She really wanted the focus to be on his victims, and the survivor, instead of on why he may have become a serial killer. She wanted it to be different in that way from a lot of other true crime stuff.

Only sort of off-topic, but the Innocence Project’s involvement with Scott Peterson has kind of changed my opinion about them. I know they’ve done some great work, but that one is just too much.

I also think they were blinded by the “stand behind the blue line” mentality. They just couldn’t believe one of Johnny’s own would do this to him. I kept getting distracted by Dennis’s old interviews with Karen and the newer narration and interviews with Andrea. I wonder why he couldn’t finish out the episode.

I was very surprised they were able to hold and question Keri for as long as they did, with her being a minor and not having a guardian present. I think they said it was over 7 hours. Even with a messed up family life, I would never blame her parents on her choice to murder her mother. And I understand where Scott was coming from. The only thing his mom is known and remembered for now is this, and he wants others to know and remember her for more. It really ended on the same note as most other episodes, with good things to say about the victim, but he took it there instead of the host.

I think Esther was very much a Bina-In-Training. I was hoping she’d figure that out with the dress cutting scene, but I doubt it.

The news reports have said it’s for retroactive support. I haven’t seen court documents so I have no idea, but that’s what’s being reported.

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/sister-wives-christine-brown-sues-182615901.html It seems that Christine is giving up some of the freedom she has to travel with Truely by pursuing this. I definitely think she is owed the child support, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Kody bites back by exerting a lot more control that comes with the paternity establish and possibly joint legal custody

Did anyone watch this? Any thoughts? The Innocence Project is a big deal, and there were some decent points on the mistakes the police made. But unless the DNA comes back as someone else, I still believe he did it.

I was guessing sepsis, too. Also, not that this show is known for medical realism, but dancing like that so soon after a lumpectomy? Not going to happen.

I was getting Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) vibes from her, but I can see the others mentioned, too. And maybe a little Sissy Spacek?

As long as TLC is making money from this show and the family continues signing contracts, they won’t stop filming. They don’t care even a tiny bit about the ethics of this. See: the re-branding of 19 Kids to Counting on, forcing the victims of terrible things to continue filming. The sad state of society is that this will bring viewers. That is seriously all TLC cares about.

I would have liked more of the interview with the other daughter/Jenelle’s sister. The short bit they showed, she talked about how manipulative Jenelle was. But did she believe their parents were part of it? Did she think Jenelle was capable of what it looks like was double catfishing?

I was so sad for Heather’s dad, and her son, losing their wife and grandmother so soon after everything was finally as “normal” as it could be for all of them. I’m really wondering how the grandparents managed to get full custody when it seemed definite that the father wasn’t involved in the murder. I admire that grandfather so much, in the interview he really said only positive things about his grandson’s father, and refused to give Dennis any information about what sounds like some bad situations between his daughter and her husband. I have to think that was for his grandson’s benefit, to not speak ill of his father. This one just really hit me harder than most. This poor 25 year old mother, murdered by her mother in law front of her baby at Target, of all places. What a terrible tragedy.
