20/20

Rusty was the deceased husband and Hemy was the shooter.  Andrea (the wife) came across as arrogant on the stand as if she was certain she was the smartest person in the room.  She reminded me of the Pam Smart case from years ago where the woman manipulated teenagers to kill her husband.  Pam gave off the same vibe.

Another case that has been covered a lot with a bit of new development at the end. I don't know if Nancy was in on her husband's murder, but her demeanor at trial was so off putting. Like she was more concerned about deflecting any blame (and perhaps any embarrassment) than in seeing her husbands' killer brought to justice. At times she was smirking and sneering at the lawyers. If I was innocent of any affair and it was me, I would be wailing about how this lunatic killed my husband when there was nothing going on. At the very least, she was probably playing around with her boss a little, but did not want to cop to it.   

Yeah, her behavior on the stand was appalling. The pretending not to hear/understand the questions and the flippant tone to her answers did not scream innocence.

I definitely had the impression that she was inappropriately involved with her boss on some level and probably did the classic "complain about the spouse" while engaging in whatever behavior on these work trips. The ending part suggested that the killer thought he was doing something that would be good for her and her kids, so I suppose it's possible that she didn't actually participate in the planning or murder, but also did not want to admit whatever she was doing with her boss and face the fact that her involvement with this unstable guy ended up getting her husband killed.

What was the new development at the end? I was trying to figure out why this case was being covered when the crime occurred a long time ago.

Um, okay, my memory is really crappy @GiandujaPie, but I think it was that the killer was granted a new trial because the prosecutors illegally got ahold of some medical (psychiatric) records they shouldn't have, and he has also converted to being an Orthodox Jew.

I'm from Evansville Indiana and it was felt from the beginning that the firefighter's wife was involved in his murder. I only marginally followed the case, but my husband is friends with someone involved int he prosecution.

The Other Me episode was one I had not seen before. They made a bit too much of a celebrity out of the detective, but, to be fair, she was exceptional with her interrogations. Dude was truly a monster preying on vulnerable women. Oh, but he does wish he could go back and change it, but he can't, so he hopes you will forgive him for all the raping and killing.  

I found it really bizarre how long the cops dallied about outside the houses where the one victim managed to use his phone and call for help. I know they were unsure which of the two houses it was, but my understanding was that at least one of the houses was abandoned. Go check it and then go to the other one! Enter both! Do something! They are like peeking in the windows and trying to get the girl to help them. FFS, she is in mortal danger!
