I am not sure we will ever know the truth but her invovlment with Scott may have pushed him over the edge to be indeed a widower.

Quite possibly. But the blame for that lies at That Man's feet, not hers, imo. How many guys cheat that DON'T kill their wives? It takes a special class of scumbag to do that, and I doubt Amber's "charms" had much to do with it.
I am just having trouble watching folks make money of of their civic duty to serve on a trial. I can only imagine that there are folks jumping at the bit for a duty of a big name, why not, there is instant money for their wares, I just think it is unseemly and wrong. Period.

It is unseemly, certainly. That being said, should she not have come forward anyway? I know you doubt that, but her testimony did matter, and not just in the penalty phase...the prosecution believed That Man killed Laci and Connor because he wanted to be free to pursue Amber (whom he had no business pursing!).

So now one should only come forward if there is money to be made. Her testimony mattered but it was what she testified to that was unseemly. Her information showed he lied about where he was, it showed him lusting after Amber, it showed a man whose wife was missing. He never said to her, I killed her. He did not say I tossed the body. All this testimony did, was outrage the jury of his behavior. I suppose I expect a bit more than hours and hours of recorded phone calls that offered no substance instead it offered a soap opera and in the end the prosecution got what they needed he is the worst kind of human being there was, he was a cad, he cheated on his wife. It reflected on his character but it did not tell you what happened to Lacy.
What ever happened to folks who did their civic duty to come forward tell the police of what they know, testify if the prosecution asks you to and then you go back to your life, cherishing being part of the best justice system in the world.
I think we will have to agree to disagree. Thank you for your wonderful opinions!
