I dunno… she seems like a narcissist. If you’ve been around a lot of narcissists, you can really past their bs lies by their reactions.

Lie detector tests are unreliable anyway but I don’t think she would pass one. If she does, it’s bc she believes her own lies.

[@ImNotaRussianBot]

The lie detector is pseudoscience. The guy who invented it literally said it was equivalent to a Ouija Board. There's a reason the results are not permissible in court as evidence. It's more used to gauge a person's demeanor and willingness. More of a psychological game by the cops.

Yeah I’m not seeing this personally, when did she really even throw him under the bus when she easily could have? When asked if he was physically abusive she actually played it down saying shoving each other isn’t really being battered (which I agree with if they both were doing it to each other). Personally the original wife comes off as way more likely to actually do this seeing as David just happened to conveniently have a premonition that she killed him yet he only told her and no one else? Before that moment there was nothing about them keeping in touch regularly or anything that would suggest that he would confide in her and just like the defense says she would stand to benefit a lot more with him alive. The video stuff is their only kind of good evidence but still no one can say it was 100% her I’m assuming they talked to that cashier and employees there and obviously no one placed here there so that’s why that’s still speculation at all, is it crazy to suggest that it wouldn’t be hard to get ahold of her discount card if for example someone was trying to frame her?
