  1. We only have Maria's word (the word of a thief), that it wasn't her idea to retrieve her confession letter from the doctor's home, having had second thoughts about it, and that it wasn't her who 100% put her boyfriend up to committing that burglary. And we only have her word for it that this was planned as a burglary to retrieve the letter, and wasn't actually the pre-planned assassination of Paul and Greg, two witnesses who knew she owed the doctor $9,000. That is actually a far more plausible explanation - or why break in at night, knowing the two men were there, asleep and vulnerable? The victims were not killed because they awoke - both men died in their beds. They were surely victims of a ruthless, cold-blooded hit. I believe this was always a murder plot, so Maria wouldn't have to re-pay that money, or keep any of the empty promises she made in the letter, and so that the doctor couldn't scupper her future employment/workplace theft scams, with a poor reference - or even by reporting her to the police for the theft. The more I learned about her and her self-pitying, self-serving ways, the more I suspect that's exactly how it went down - and she concocted a story about a burglary pushed by her boyfriend, which gave her as little responsibility as possible. Had the doctor only fired her for stealing from him (as most employers would have done), he and his son would likely not have been murdered. How desperately sad that his kindness in forgiving her, and letting her keep her job, resulted in a far worse betrayal by her - and set in motion the murders of both himself, and his beloved son. Never was the phrase 'No good deed goes unpunished', more true! I was not impressed with the defence attorney's performance. Her speeches were poorly argued, and lacked eloquence. I'm amazed she won the jury over, especially after putting her client on the stand with that blatantly coached, cynical sob story of victim hood - which the prosecutor effortlessly exposed and ridiculed! Maria was a lousy witness for herself and only confirmed her pity was of the 'poor me' variety, not for the two men who lost their lives solely because of her. I saw no evidence of remorse or sadness for the innocent victims - only regret that she got prosecuted! Maria's murder acquittals were a hollow victory. Clearly the judge did not agree with the jury, and ensured that in spite of their not guilty murder verdicts, justice was delivered for the double homicide through the hefty, 30 year sentence he imposed. I somehow doubt Maria will leave prison alive. I think in the end, she got what she deserved. Paul and Greg did not.

  2. I thought Maria came across very badly on the stand - all the sob stories of historic abuse she claimed to have suffered were transparent and cynical. If true, what the hell do they have to do with this case anyway? Nothing! I'm amazed the decision to put her on the stand didn't backfire on her BIG time. She came across as calculating and hard-faced, and only confirmed her pity was for herself, not the two real victims, whose deaths were solely down to her! I suspect the long confession letter she wrote to the doctor, full of apologies and contrition, may have made the jury more sympathetic to her than she deserved.

  3. She has the best legs too - if I was blessed with pins like that, I would wear short skirts all the time!

  4.  @leanie5234  Defence lawyer looked very well to me. From the earlier footage of her in court, I imagine she decided to lose some weight. And black women in particular often choose wigs, and look very glamorous in them. I thought the wig was far more flattering than her own hair, as seen in court.
