Why not?
I'm local to this.
So was the jury which had 9 women.
And I just don't believe that she intended to kill him.
So what? Husband is dead and gone. While Clara can get out of prison in 10 years if she's a good girl. I really don't care much about intent. I care what the criminal did to the victim.
You say she is a "conniving, manipulative murderess". If I could find anyone that knows her that would say the same thing or something similiar I would have posted it.
They saw her good and nice side. David saw her evil side and was killed by this Clara. The one your friends never met.
But instead I post things that I have heard from people that know the woman and her husband. And some folks have been a bit harsh with me. Which does not bother me. It just makes me wonder why I wasted my time trying to clue in some fellow Freepers only to get dissed by some of you.
You may know more, heard more pro-Clara gossip being local
Good point. Maybe they were lying. Especially the person I've known for many years. Maybe they were lying when they told me about David slapping Clara around or hurting one of the twins bad enough for an emergency room visit. Or that right before David was supposedly going to cut the affair off with Gail Bridges David was acting like he had worked things out with Clara. Only to be playing lovey with Gail the next day at lunch.
They must have been kidding when they said that David was flaunting the affair in front of friends and employees while telling Clara it was all over. All while Clara was making their business bigger so David could have new toys to play with in his music room at the house.
People that did business with David must have been joking with me for some odd reason when they spoke about his screaming fits with people that worked for him. What a hot tempered SOB he was.
There sure was a lot of stuff swirling around. No matter. The jury has spoken.
