It's audacious that she took out a $50,000 HELOC loan and then gave thousands of dollars to her cheap lover. She is like the most stupid older lady ever. Like super dumb.

She’s just coming across as greedy and selfish by her actions even before the murder of her husband. Whether she’s found guilty of the crime or not she’s still a total heal. JMO 😢😢😢so sad for these kids having to lose their father who sounds like he was a very adoring father to his grandkids and kids and a forgiving husband to a woman who didn’t deserve him. 😢😢😢

[@lisashrestha5023]

I think you meant she (mom) was a heel, (not a heal). For making her kids testify. And I agree, and with stronger words perhaps!

[@lynnmoses3563]

Selfish and thoughtless are good words to describe her in regard to her family...

[@giovannachinazzo7217]

What I can't understand is: when you burn a body it has for sure a specific smell. So if there is a son who lives on the property how could he not smell it? I think it did not take 2 minutes to burn the body and the smell would not go away soon.

[@izabela1961]

You are right. I haven't followed all the trial. Do we know what time he was shot/burnt? And who was at home at that exact time?

[@giovannachinazzo7217]

@@izabela1961 no we don't... I also have not followed the whole trial but as much I've understood he was found monthes after his disapprarance.... or am I wrong? In any case: a burning human body has to smell horrific.

[@sallybeattie3982]

@giovannachinazzo7217 he was was found the next day..she used something to mask the smell

[@lynnwilliams8295]

Yes the smell of burning flesh, especially someone his size wound have been smelled from a great distance. Also it takes a very long time due to the large fat content of a body. I don’t know how the wife did it but obviously someone did.

[@isabelgaynor2589]

My older friends for generations living on multiple acres kept a burn pile. I couldn't convince them they were harming themselves by stoking it with all the toxic chemicals (plastics) that constantly burned or public safety. I'm guessing all those fumes at the Farris place which are pungant must have masked the dead body smell with likey some added animal carcasses to boot. So many generations of rural people handled their trash this way by necessity. Many places didn't even have land fills. Even though my friends were able to drive their bagged trash to the main street by pick up or golf cart they kept that old tradition going.

[@jukes243]

Who cheated first ... Gary or Melody?

[@evoluna3056]

Gary did

[@be4202]

Gary’s so called “affair” was a flirtation that happened around 20 years previous to what Melody did with Ted Wiley and Rusty. She even left home to live with Ted for a few months around 2009-2010.

[@Gurl-5150]

This commentator with the bald/beard is just dead wrong. The "inheritance" that Emily might be testifying against her mother is being spent as we speak....for her Mother's legal bills. I found her and the brothers were VERY honest and open.

Where's the Last Will & Testement? Why does she think she is entitled to it? She needs a job for real. Poor Mr. Farris. I cringe thinking about what happened to him and she sits there with a scowl because she's inconvenienced by this trial, which wouldn't of happened if she weren't so greedy. IJS😊

[@mera3006]

@Traisie I don't know where are you from but this wife and mother was married 38 years and raised 4 children!!!. She was hard working raising all 4 kids and that's a full time 24/7 hard work.

[@cathimummery6873]

I think maybe the mother poisoned the father?

[@jvinson4181]

I don't understand why the daughter and her husband would just decide to take away and sell her parent's house when her Mom is still alive, and before her Mom was arrested? Just because she and her husband wanted a larger house themselves? What about her mom? What about her siblings? She just states it like it would be a normal thing to do. It sounds like the only reason why they won the lawsuit was because her Mom got arrested. That seems super cold, greedy and horrible, am I missing something?

[@NyleveRenee]

It was their home.

[@jvinson4181]

​@NyleveRenee wasn't it the parent's home?

Try watching the entire trial. The house was a foreclosure after the father's death.

Did they ever think that maybe mom and dad decided to date other people or to be polyamorus?

[@catzska]

The adult children would rather blame their Mom so they don’t become blamed, accused and locked up. I am not convinced at all the Mom murdered her husband at all. Each adult child could have murdered their Dad as well. Especially since they knew their Mom was no longer inheriting any money. They knew their was so much anger, pain and so forth between their Mom and Dad.

[@upstatenewyork]

Agree

[@lynnmoses3563]

Nah of course its always possible, but I dont believe any of them hated their Father, just Melody...

[@RosarioTayoReed]

WHY people want the subscribed to monthly subscriptions with court TV when they keep pulling out of the case & talking its so frustrating

[@Ania-cd2sh]

I really don’t know why but I don’t think the mother did it. The kids only know what their dad has told etc no one truly knows what goes on behind closed doors …and yes she had affairs….so why didn’t she kill him then? She always came back and I guess decided to do this when he’s older and his health is not good? Really makes no sense esp if she clearly knew she wasn’t or didn’t think she couldn’t get access to the money if he passed, like she did years before when she was cheating…their one son tho (Scott?) I think seems a little sus to me.

[@ciobalina7445]

@@100Mickl well lying to a lover saying ur husband has cancer so he sticks around to actually shooting him and putting him in a burn pile are 2 very different things. I mean I think it’s definitely possible she did it, but I don’t feel the state has proven their case to eliminate doubt so far.
