well,,,,, I live near Nashville and I felt like Mary was abused and I think the defense did a great job. I watched the whole trial. The majority of folks in TN think she should have got a lesser sentence.
I didn’t watch any of it. I followed it from the Amber Alert onward, until there was no more news for months and months.
Sorry, I didn’t believe her. Matthew kicked her in the *face* in the same eye that been blackened by a baseball? None of it rang true to me, at all. And I know more than I want to know about abused women.
I obviously didn’t know anything about Matthew in real life, but I could tell he was probably stiff-necked about a lot of things, but Mary just “protesteth” way too much, in my opinion.
I don’t like the sentence - and I’ve seen plenty of people in TN who didn’t agree she should get off this easily, so I don’t think it was really a very big majority.
