[@MG-ot2yr]

I think he slipped under the truck as she was leaving but she did not know it. I watched her whole testimony, which was consistent and included things she could have lied about so she appeared very genuine. If she's really guilty she better head to Hollywood, she'd be the greatest actress ever. The jury got it right and found her not guilty.

[@nora__]

Small correction: When they got home, Mark went inside to put her wedding ring in their safe and Lori went in after him to quickly grab her contact case and glasses from the bathroom. Lori got back in the truck and Mark ran out to get his stuff. That’s according to her testimony anyway. I do think it’s plausible that she couldn’t see very well in that truck because it was so high up and probably didn’t adjust the seat. She hardly ever drove it and couldn’t find the lock button. Given the snow piles along their driveway and how quick she hit the gas, the wheels may have spun and she thought she was hitting snow. Especially since she was likely intoxicated and in a fight or flight state.

So many questions! I wonder what she sounded like on the 911 call? What does his family think of the result of this case? I feel like she was probably "buzzed driving", and maybe tapped him, not realizing how bad she struck him. Maybe she thought he could stand up, but he was too drunk to get up? Did they perform any kind of toxicology on her even though it was hours later? Excellent observations to ponder Dr. Grande.

[@Nurse_Kathy]

They were drinking in the bar from 5:30-10:30, so they were probably more than just “buzzed.” 🍻

[@GGiblet]

you can hear the 911 call, it was part of the trial so it's online .. her husband was obviously quite dead when she found him in the snowbank so she didn't attempt cpr (even the emergency people that responded didn't if I remember the testimony correctly) .. as far as drinking goes, heavy steady drinkers, they even owned a party bus (I'm not criticizing them, just explaining the lifestyle) edit: no blood alc for her but yes on him, he was drunk, the levels were part of the ME testimony, she admitted to being quite drunk and avoiding the police on the road because she would have a DUI - hope this helps

Please elaborate on your "pure dangerous person" theory. Because someone is big, they are "pure dangerous"? In my experience, as a 6'6" person, we get picked out much like racial minorities as "potential for trouble" so what you see as "pure danger" I see as "implicit bias" against someone based on appearance. It's a person's mind that is dangerous or not, without the brain, ain't nothing happening at all.

They're Jekyll and Hyde. Lori was afraid that Mark was finally really going to hurt her. Her fear was all-consuming. If she hadn't been so afraid of Mark, to the point of panicking & needing to get away, Mark would still be alive. He was 240 lbs & quite a bit taller than her. He was raging that night, accusing her of wanting to sleep with another man. Had she not been so afraid, she wouldn't have sped away from the house and stayed away. And Mark would still be alive.

If she lied about running into her husband, and she was intoxicated, then those point to her guilt. The fact that she didn't move her husband to see if he was okay is also suspicious. How drunk was she? Could he have been saved? What was the police history of his violent behavior, not just her word on the matter? Was a medical exam performed on her to show she was telling the truth about the violence that night? For me, there are more questions than answers. If the police and DA didn't answer any of these questions for the jury, then it's scarcely any wonder she was found not guilty.

Reminds me of the cop that was bumped into a snow bank and passed - but did he pass judgement? We will see😮😮😮Murder is a crime. Self defense is self defense.😊

Well when all is said and done the world is a better place without the Marks of this world. I live with one of these. Flies into a temper over everything and nothing. A narcissist of note and an alcoholic that subjects me to his 2nd hand smoke. Hides his true nature especially to his family that he adores but keeps the worst of his violence and putrid behaviour for me. By the time you read this, I could well die as Laurie almost did.

I watched her testimony at trial. The jury absolutely got it correct! She was very believable!

[@lisamoag6548]

If she did , then no more driving for her!

Hello doc, you should make a video on the movie "Girl, Interrupted"

Between two moods, the final act of letting her leave - a decision that sealed his fate. Seems like blowing hot and cold, got him in the end...Perhaps, losing his balance, in a drunken stupor, being hit by a flapping open door all contributed to his demise. Yet, the fact that she was told he wants to retrieve stuff from the vehicle, wouldn't she double check, before moving off...

I think she said that’s when he put her in a choke hold, so she was getting away.

[@puspavelai8353]

@@lorib604 Oh, okay. Yes, that's correct.😊 That type of 'hold' would make anyone, also intoxicated perhaps, flee for their safety first. So...things could have become more 'complex' and complicated, from then on I guess - had she 'blared the horns!' I mean, may be there could be the adrenaline rush - to seek help! To seek help to 'release herself', to drive away - from the physical violence...A lot went on there - *but* she went back (half?) expecting an apology...

Drunk or not, I believe that the moment a man gets a lady in a chokehold all his rights - including to life - are gone.

[@ahabcolerchat9404]

So if a women is stabbing a child and a man then places her in a chokehold, his life is forfeit. I can't even with people like you

[@hardtakeoff]

What if she is stabbing him?

[@sugarshannie623]

​@hardtakeoff no one was stabbing anyone in this situation

[@sugarshannie623]

​@ahabcolerchat9404 What are u even talking about? You are describing an imaginary situation that has nothing to do with the details of the case at hand.
