[@LoraHari81]

I have a proposition for all doctors. If the patient is keep going in and out of hospital, check for drugs or poisons in their system. I'm so sick and tired of hearing " doctors didn't know what's going on with him/her" . Really? Everytime?! In XXI century?!! Unreal!

[@angelalalley7593]

Amen!

[@babble2leeza]

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.

Almost certainly. She just found the method that worked best.

That was my thought. In many cases that have come to light involving poisoning, the victim presented with gastrointestinal and other symptoms in repeated visits to medical providers, and even multiple hospitalizations, in which doctors were unable to give a diagnosis.

[@tango2217]

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.

[@MashaRistova]

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

Honestly, I was watching an original documentary about this case and the mother of this woman… the person who was the friend of the victim 1st should have been charged as well… she definitely had a part in this situation and knew a hell of a lot more and stole from the victims house also.

[@texasrefugee7888]

I agree

Exactly. I guess the State has determined that there's not enough evidence to link the mother and get a successful conviction but she was, in my opinion, aiding and abetting the crimes against Lynn Hernan.

[@lydibug51]

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.

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.

[@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!

[@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...

Thanks to shows like this one, I am alive today! I was sick for almost ten years and seeing another show about a death by Visine I finally put 2 and 2 together and came to realize my ex was poisoning me. I kept finding empty bottles in the house and she didn't use it. I noticed I was NEVER sick when I traveled for work. During the divorce when my son was gone for the week, I am convinced she gave me a lethal dose of rat poison. At this point, my family knew and told me I needed to get the food to the police, but when I got up at 430am she had already disposed of the food!

[@dennish3962]

I no longer say when I watch these shows, come on, how could you not know. Had I ate that dish I would be dead. I'll never forget the look on her face when I left for work that morning.
