Chump change in today's economy ~ and that was in Southern California, not the wilds of Northern Maine where you can live on wild moose meat.

Did you pick up on the part where the prosecutor detailed exactly how the woman poisoned her husband?

Well, yeah, arsenic, but you can get that at the garden store, or the drugstore, or maybe even the grocery store.

Trick is, how did she get it into his liver. Like, did she hold him down and stick a funnel in his mouth like he was a goose, or what, and did she leave empty "arsenic" containers around?

The scientific evidence does not support death by arsenic poisoning. There is no
evidence Todd was murdered.

Todd Sommer was not poisoned. The first mistake was when they labeled this a
murder... the second was when they said Cindy did it... Correct the first
mistake, and the second one corrects itself.

SIXTEEN breaks in the chain of custody for those tissue samples from the organs
Cindy willingly donated...

NO LINK between Cindy and arsenic - she didn’t research it, she didn’t discuss
it, and she didn’t purchase it.

NO paper trail.

The Medical Examiner, Glen Wagner, was baffled by the results of the heavy
metals testing, so he contacted his old colleague, Jose Centeno. Centeno
admitted that he initially had reservations about the test results and
considered whether the tissues had been contaminated. Centeno said, “I had
never seen such high levels of arsenic.”

In the e-mail he sent to Wagner, Centeno said he was surprised by the high
levels of arsenic found in the liver and kidney, which were inconsistent with
the negative results in the blood and urine.

He said he had considered, and then rejected the possibility, that the samples
could have been contaminated upon collection.

WHY did he reject that possibility? WHY was the Death Certificate Amended?

This should have never been labeled a murder; and therefore, should have never
made it to a jury.
