YES! I’ve been wanting someone to bring this up and provide some kind of explanation. I did come across 1 comment that mention it was in context of Melody referring to the Detectives telling her there is no way that body should have been burnt that badly. But surely the defense team would’ve explained that. I don’t recall that explanation ever mentioned during the trial. Unless I missed something? Did Melody know she was being recorded during that phone call? I thought she did at that point, so it’s very confusing to me why she would say something so incriminating.

She made him chicken salad and broke the plate outside because he didn't bring it up to the kitchen. He was tending to the burn pile on the 3rd and I believe around 9 or 10 pm she had him check the pile to make sure it wouldn't catch the house on fire. That is where she shot him twice and was able to get one of the bullets out of his body and place in the basement. The other was stuck in his ribs. Very sad.

Scott turned the cameras off, he has a violent temper. He tried to persuade daddy to give him money; Gary vehemently refused. Scott shot him in anger. He’s the only one that had the physical ability to move him. And yes, regardless of the prosecutor stating it wasn’t important… it was the most important part of the trial.

The state painted a great picture of where she got the gun from MJ. Scott seeing the gun and knowing what type of gun it was and his dad’s CPAP. All the stuff going on behind the scenes got exposed. The motive of her and Rusty wanting to buy wedding rings. The deceitful actions with the Bahamas trip and having girl friend use her card to say she was someplace else. Many lovers not just one. And telling Rusty Gary is on the burn pile. To the lady that lives kitty corner and smelled the burn pile. All the dots connected that she was hoping no one could put it all together. All the arrows pointed to Melody. Especially when she had his wallet. To the holes in the basement. To the poisoning of him witnessed by the assistant. It was very good. Motive he didn’t die soon enough for her likings. She wanted to be the widow and get all of their community property and funds. She wouldn’t accept half. Which was more than enough. I am so proud of Scott. He did a great job and paid tribute to his father by letting the truth be known to the public. Very honorable man his father would be proud of him. R.i.P. Gary.

He complained about his dads use of farm equipment if it wasn’t put back the way he wanted. *Scott became enraged like a defiant child if he didn’t get what he wanted. *Scott went toward burn pile. Scott stirred around in burn pile as though he was looking for something. Scott immediately found his dad’s body parts. Mom said she was gonna call 911. Scott took over and said he would and was secretive about it. Scott first one to say a gun is missing. Mom didn’t know there was a gun. If Scott knew gun was missing then Scott knew what kind it was. *Scott failed the lie detectors test * Scott was a loser and didn’t want a real job. Never did. * Not only did Scott have it in for his mom but in for his dad as well. Go listen to all testimonies. *Dad told daughter he wasn’t getting a divorce. Scott’s mom came back home and dad took her back. *Scott could manipulate dad easier when mom wasn’t around. He was happy that mom was out of the picture. *Scott set his mom up and lead law enforcement to believe that she did it. An affair doesn’t constitute her killing him. *Mom never confessed to killing Gary even when being recorded. *Boyfriend continued to ask her if the house was cleaned good bc he thought she could have done it and was trying to get a confession. He ask her if she did it. She kept saying there was nothing there and nothing to clean. Said she didn’t do it. She believed Scott could have done it. *Theres more just those few come to mind. This was a totally botched investigation and trial. Should she get a divorce then she would definitely get a good bit of what Gary had.

Polygraphs aren't admissable for a reason. They're as accurate as a horoscope. The whole "Scott did it" defense was sick to begin with.

These guys need to delve into people with PTSD and the triggers that affect them. Scott had been subjected to some pretty horrible things at war and on the daily at home with his parents. He knew his mom was deceitful and had it out for his dad and witnessed her shatter that plate and scream that she couldn't wait for the day he was dead in a rage, and that stuck with him, adding to all of the other trauma. Naturally, when his dad was missing, he was on a mission to find out what happened and who was behind it. And he wasn't naive to the evils of the world, not even from his own mother.

Scott needs to get legal help and sue these lawyers for defamation, that woman who is no way near being a “mother” had a jury of peers, who she showed no respect to by remaining seated in court, based on evidence and facts, is guilty and will be sentenced for her conviction.

Innocent people don't have to lie when being questioned by detectives. She told lie after lie

Melody is so guilty she is exactly where she deserves to be so glad they think she will be fine because she has no choice in the situation the evidence that the state presented was nothing but guilty

Juror. Melony did deny doing it. She said it to Rusty. Scott had the motive and the means. His own dad accused him of stealing. They threw their mom under the bus! Scott turned the cameras off.Had bullets that would have matched the gun. His bathroom was spotlessly cleaned, yet the rest of the apartment above the barn was filthy. He washed away the evidence. He lived on the property. He would have been the only one able to move the body. SHAME ON THIS JURY. This was not a slam dunk; So much reasonable doubt. Juries are getting more and more biased and convicting people on what hasn’t been proven beyond reasonable doubt.
