Prosecutor said they forgot to check if she'd been given morphine in the ambulance (she had). ZING! Yes, I was coming here to see if anyone had commented yet.

sde127 June 10, 2017 Share June 10, 2017 Just found this forum and am loving reading everyone's posts. I am true ID addict and love all things true crime. Love you guys! I wanted to comment on Reasonable Doubt. I am really loving this show even though I didn't think I would after watching the first episode because I figured every case would be them finding the prisoner wrongfully convicted. I am pleasantly surprised that is not the case. I immediately recognized the detective from The First 48 : Birmingham. I really like when murders from The First 48 show up on ID channel so I like seeing the detective in this new role. The episode I really wanted to talk about was the one where the cop was convicted for killing his mistress right before going to court for child support. I thought the wife was so weird in that episode and didn't know as much as she pretended to know. She was trying so hard to save face. Also thought the guy in the next episode that was convicted of beating his wife then pretending it was a car accident was a total jerk as was his supporters. I think he totally beat her and is covering it up. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/58/#findComment-3361983

I particularly like Reasonable Doubt. I just started watching that. Is it new? You could tell the lady who was convicted of poisoning her husband was a real loser case. I know it's good to have true blue friends, but, sooner or later, you have to face the facts. It seems that with family members who commit murder, the adult children normally have trouble accepting it and they will defend the obviously guilty parent no matter how overwhelming the evidence. I suppose it's a defense mechanism. I did see this one episode recently, (I'm trying to recall the name of it) where the lady was convicted of 2 counts of murder, but, it was later discovered that the two things that were used were lies. Both people admitted their testimony was not true. Appeals with that information have not been successful. So, even though it's now clear that this lady was convicted on false evidence, they will not give her a new trial. She has a life sentence. I think it was in the state of Indiana. She was a nice girl, who fell in love with a convicted felon, who she allowed to live with her, along with his two friends, who also didn't work. She says her boyfriend shot and killed them when she was not there. If she really didn't do it, I wonder how you live with yourself for the rest of your life, in a prison with no hope of ever being released or getting a new trial. I can't think about it too much. I hope that some of these shows like Reasonable Doubt, will help locate any actually innocent people, who have been improperly convicted. I believe you are talking about Sara Jo Pender. I first saw her story on Snapped and then on ID. I go back and forth of that one. The story of the Pulse Night Club Massacre was just soul crushing. Those poor survivors must be suffering extreme PTSD. I firmly believe it was done by a self loathing gay guy who thought throwing ISIS's name would give him cover. I don't generally watch Women Who Kill, but I'll have to hunt this one down as I would like to see how Celeste, used to the "finer" things in life courtesy of her murdered husband, is faring in prison.

hoosiermom June 15, 2017 Share June 15, 2017 I really like Reasonable Doubt mainly because they try and give a little peace and closure to the friends and family who hire them. Basically they just go over the evidence with them again but in a kinder and gentler way so they can finally start grieving for their loved ones. Of course, there will always be those hey can't convince but at least they tried.

If the facts warrant suicide, then so be it, but, there were so many things that didn't make sense. Like, finding the body, which had drifted from the shore, but, it was near a place where dogs hit on soon after he went missing. They searched then with equipment and didn't find body or gun. Later, fisherman found the body, but, no gun. Not in the water, near the edge, etc. Just curious about that. That, and some other odd things that don't add up. I sure hope that they didn't wrap that case up too quick. Basically, everything known about that evening came from his girlfriend. I read that her ex-husband also committed suicide.

During my telework days, I've been bingeing on FF on Hulu.

SunnyBeBe June 23, 2017 Share June 23, 2017 I really like like a lot of the shows like Fatal Vows, Murder Among Friends, Reasonable Doubt, Hear No Evil, and some others. I haven't been impressed with The Real Story with Maria Elena Salinas. She just seems to be reading a lot and it doesn't catch my attention. With Kenda. I'm on the fence. I do like him, but, sometimes, his voice gets old. lol I can take it in small doses. I do like the actor who plays the young Kenda. He's quite attractive, imo. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/58/#findComment-3398981

Watched the back-to-back episodes last night, both of which (maybe all of these episodes really??) involved complete mob mentality and they all take part in the murder in some respect. The second episode with the love triangle - I mean, what level of evil do you have to be to think: "oh this girl lied about stuff to us, so let's carve her up with box cutters and smash her head in with a cinder block!" And none of them thought, hmmm, why don't we just kick her out of the house?? Sick. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/58/#findComment-3399035

Don't see any ID ones, but if anyone does Walking Dead, they have one.http://www.cruisecritic.com/articles.cfm?ID=349 I just watched this so I looked it up. I think that the reenactment made it seem like forever but it wasn't. At least, none of the articles mentioned it. A security guard saw the "crew" running away from the scene. The article mentioned that he was on extra alert and told the police immediately. It also said that the 911 guy was traumatized and quit. He now owns an auto parts store. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2691-general-true-crime-shows/page/58/#findComment-3400453

We are the champions ... The ID Wines (whines?) names reminds me of the classic Monty Python sketch about "Foine Australian table wines". Young Kenda wine has a bouquet reminiscent of cigarettes and semi-hot sex. Old Kenda wine is like a much beloved bloodhound past his prime - jowly, with sad rheumy eyes, bad hair, and maybe a little smelly, but the kids don't want to see him sent to the farm upstate (and neither do I!). Good for cooking & washing down microwaved pasta leftovers. I Am Homicide wine needs a lot more ageing in the barrel, because it is brash, trash talks all other wines, wears a shiny suit, and is altogether too full of itself; and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Keith Morrison wine is my idea of a perfect nightcap - rich, smooth, and with dulcet undertones ... YUM!

I was frustrated by the whole episode, yes why weren't the police dispatched sooner? How did those big beautiful houses not have better security systems? With the burglaries rampant in those adjacent neighborhoods where was the police investigation, why did two women have to get shot before a full-on investigation, and why weren't the residents aware of the danger? Both of the victims called the police right away, but the only place they had to hide was a closet with no escape route.
