They don't even do a complete panel. They can check through blood work if you had a heart attack. I have a rare disease and went to the ER. I had a heart attack and was not treated for it. My specialist found it from my blood work. The doctors are horrible in AZ. So are most of the nurses. I've been given rx in my iv, been told nothing can be done and I'm wasting their time. I had one ER dr say they couldn't get ahold of my specialist and asked what is my usual treatment. I told her and she actually listened, gave me the infusion and medication. Even though she didn't know what to do, I appreciated her being honest. If she would have released me I would have gotten worse and it would take me months to get back to being able to stand.

[@mmeettwwoo]

Its not arithmatic... even in other patients if you send the sample , a lot of things will pop up which to less or more frequency can do the same. Do you know anti emetic drugs can cause vomiting, drugs we take for headache can cause headache as side effects... its very delicate argument in certain cases... thats exactly computers or ai cant do doctors job, coz in most cases it will spit out a thousand likely reasons for every data given, coz many things which are abnormal findings are also found normally in certain cases.... its a different ballgame... im in it. I know.

[@mmeettwwoo]

And did you see the compounds found in her blood? First one is Arsenic....so? Its not easy job... what would you have concluded seeing arsenic in report... and i dont think in history there has been any other case of tetrahydrozoline poisoning.... to come to such rare conclusion beyond doubt is hard work...

6 years ago I got drastically sick and Ill and I think a family member tried to poison me for insurance money a year later his wife was leaving him and she passed away over overdose but nobody would listen and accuse me of being delusional

[@MusgraveRitual]

She isolated her victim from those who care about her, spent her money with abandon even on a day of her death, went on fishing expeditions with detective and texts to ex about the very poison she used... The verdict is just, and I'm with the judge that she probably poisoned her all along, which is why poor Lyn was so sick all the time.

They even said in the video that it was the same time she got out of jail initially is the same time Lynn started getting sick.

10000%. She was poisoning her and/or drugging her the whole time to make it easier to steal from her. Then once all the money was gone she murdered her so Lynn wouldn’t find out the money was gone and also so jessy could get the inheritance

When the prosecution mentioned tetrahydrozoline in their opening statement, jessy did a deep blinking, which is an indication that she associate and recognise that specific medication, which means she's familiar with it because of handling and awareness of the med. She's guilty

[@virginiabrady3536]

Ummm...hope you are never on a jury.

[@Mr.Marcuzz]

You would think by now that they would have removed ‘Tetrahydrozoline’ from eye drops considering how fatal and undetected it is. It has absolutely no smell. I mean a kid could be watching this program and decides to put some eye drops in someone’s drink at their school thinking of it as a joke and not really understanding the dangers of it.

[@jeanbeans7926]

[@marciafuentes17]

How?

[@flaming_bentley]

It touched on it here, but didn't elaborate. He wanted to break up with her, so she kept fabricating things to get him to stay with her, such as saying she was poisoned by the eyedrops

[@kechyaimba9961]

True, but I think they had a strong case already, maybe that’s why they didn’t include. Then please remember that this is edited footage. You never know if they dwelt on it a little more.

If she did commit suicide by taking the eye drops, wouldn't the bottle of said eyedrops be in the vicinity of her body? So thats where it doesn't make sense. She is guilty. And the jury and judge agreed. If its in her body then it should be near her body.

The husband was saved but he has irreversible damages in his body.

[@marygoff3332]

Yep. But physicians don't often think their patients are being poisoned. Look at the recent case of the dentist (Jim Craig) who poisoned his wife. They ran test after test, and only figured it out because one of the dentist's employees had intercepted the cyanide and said something. I doubt it would have been solved otherwise...

How the medical examiner knows to a certainty “she was given Tetrahydrolozine by another.” That is a HUGE assumption.

[@jaywambui4128]

Not a huge assumption, the only logical conclusion when none of the staged pill bottles were in her system, including the eye drops

[@dk60ish]

As a caregiver to both my parents during their final years, IMO that Jesse would bastardize Lynn's health issues towards her devious ends, is the worst part of this, completely devoid of humanity except for herself for being caught, she's definitely right where she belongs!😡

[@kechyaimba9961]

They need to look into her mother as well. I’m soo convinced that she knew what her daughter was doing, and also benefitted from Lynn’s money. See how in the interrogation room she didn’t give eye contact and had a guilty demeanor. They planned to go question the detectives so they can paint a good image of Jessy. That woman is as guilty as her daughter. And yes, all evidence shows that she had been poisoning Lynn for a long time… poor woman!

[@AbcDef-iq4no]

I couldn't help but notice that one of the substances listed in Lynn's system at the time of her death was arsenic. Who's to say that she wasn't being slowly poisoned all along by her Elvira caretaker not only with arsenic but who knows what else. Frankly I was shocked anybody in Jessie's position would even know that the active ingredient in most eye drops is lethal if ingested. I would also be very interested to know if Lynn was tested for the presence of ethylene glychol (antifreeze) in her system. As far as Lynn's bank account being drained, where was the bank when all of this was taking place? For crying out loud, several months ago I stopped at two different gas stations to make purchases while on a road trip and at the second one my card was declined and it said contact bank. I called and all I was told was that it was for my protection because it looked to the bank like suspicious activity that I would get gas at two different gas stations the same morning. But with Lynn's situation, her $200,000 bank account was drained and not a peep was heard from her bank? I would say that type of negligence on the part of the bank borders on outright complicity.
