[@8Rincewind]

I think he could still be done for manslaughter. But regardless, it's still a life changing conviction. He'd probably lose his job and would be rejected from any future jobs where he was given any trust or authority. Not to mention the social ramifications, how many of his friends and family would stick by him after what he did? Also, aren't there other legal and bureaucratic consequences? Aren't convicts prevented from voting or owning a gun? He might not care about either of those, but still. And wouldn't he be locked out of a load of things because of the conviction? It would probably affect things like insurance and loans and other stuff.

Ok since most people in the comments don't know how the law works here is why her ex-husband was also charged with murder: felony murder doctrine n. a rule of criminal statutes that any death which occurs during the commission of a felony is first degree murder, and all participants in that felony or attempted felony can be charged with and found guilty of murder.

[@jonathanw1019]

Here's where I'm hung up: In CA, for breaking and entering to be a felony there has to be an intent to steal or destroy property of a certain value. They weren't there to steal anything, they were there to damage a painting. If the painting isn't that valuable, then its destruction/damage could just be a misdemeanor level charge. CA would of course charge him anyway, but a good lawyer could probably negotiate something in his favor.

I just had an epiphany… Sherry *DID* steal the Bake Sale money; here’s what happened Sherry was hard up for cash so she could keep her flower hair clip collection growing and knew that that bad boy kid was an easy mark… She put on the magic during the bake sale to get him to buy something with the money that he had surely obtained from various nerds… nerds like Monk, who she KNEW was low-key stalking her and she’d noticed him looking at her dial lock on several occasions… As I mentioned, getting that bully to buy something was the easy part and she knew that all she needed was for him to have a $5 bill at worst or a $10 bill at best… more likely he had a $5 given the early 70’s economy The bully gets charmed in to buying something and give her the $5, which she sleight-of-hand put under the “Good Luck” $5 that the principal gave as a nice encouraging gesture Slipping the marked $5 into his change was the easy part, but so was setting him up when he helped her carry the money box to her locker Sherry KNEW that he was going to try to steal the money, that’s obvious by the sleeveless denim vest… a vest he wears to mask the fact that his home life, it ain’t so good you see, but that’s not important here… just know that it ain’t so grand over at that boys home what with the screaming and the stuff being thrown all the time and the lack of a positive or supporting parental environment; he really could’ve used a friend, but instead he crossed paths with Sherry… 😔 Anyway, after he “stole” the money (she let him) she stole it back immediately after he rounded the corner. Sherry knew that he wasn’t so good with the remembering things what with the distress of his home life causing stunted learning patterns which affected his grades creating a downward spiral of low self esteem and crippled confidence, hence the sleeveless denim vest… and that he always left his lock on the last number of the combination so he didn’t have to worry about forgetting the first 2 numbers… she saw him “phantom spinning” the dial on several occasions as well as many others where he walked right up to his locker and pulled the padlock down right away to gain access… With the money box back in her possession, it was just a matter of tricking the affable Monk, who she KNEW had eyes for her and would absolutely give her the benefit of the doubt. All she had to do set her padlock to ~any~ number other than zero, which she did… though it took a little to resist the temptation to set it to zero as she usually did, she was still able to refrain She correctly assessed that the bully would never admit to initially stealing the money box because if he did then it wouldn’t matter what he said after since he would have already painted himself as being involved at all What the bully didn’t count on was having had the marked $5 bill slipped in with his change after making a legitimate purchase with his ill-gotten lunch money from the various nerds He’s still not innocent overall since he still torments nerds and *DID* in fact steal the money box, but these factors only served to make him the perfect patsy Remember that he’s not so good with the numbers, so he didn’t think to double-count his change… if he had then he MIGHT have had a chance to present a reason why he had that marked $5 bill. But he assumed that his change was correct, though even if he’d seen the $5 bill, odds are minimal that he tells Sherry that she gave him too much back on accident Poor kid didn’t have a chance against Sherry’s brilliance, and Monks bias’ were played against him like a fiddle 🙁 ------ Edit: oh, and to those wondering why she’d give Monk one of her precious flower clips as a thank you back in the day; it was an extremely inexpensive one that she had a spare of which is why she wore that particular one that day; she’d never miss it and it even if she wanted to get another backup of it, it was very cheap; like 15¢…

From a legal point of view, the 2 men murdering the housekeeper wasn't on the man who hired them. Sure, planning a breaking in and destruction of private property is still a crime, but he planned it on a day that no one should have been there. So he's only guilty of conspiracy, but the housekeepers death is on the 2 that broke in, not on him. A good lawyer could argue that he had every intent that the 2 who broke in was to flee if someone was home to prevent this outcome.

@@Ratharian They would look at the situation. In this case the man tasked two others to break into a house and created a situation that is known to escalate to violence. It would probably be some manslaughter charge. If the maid had killed one or both the men, he'd still be on the hook for their deaths. In your burger world scenario, it's unlikely someone would kill another human being over it. It's possible but it's far less likely. So if that person proceeds to escalate, at best it's really a civil suit that has a chance at success. The scenario would be more in line if you were told to take a bat and smash up the place but don't physically attack. In that situation the likelihood of a violent engagement shoots up.

Is it just me or did they use the wrong $5 for 1972

[@Froward_Thinker]

I don't think they could charge him with murder based on that could they? At best manslaughter.

[@jeremyadler9620]

Agreed. Feels like a bit of a stretch. Not like he WANTED anyone dead.

[@elizabethcox5911]

Justice can be a little cockeyed. Knew someone once who was in prison. He and 2 other men robbed a liquor store and he went back out to the car with one of them. After they were outside, without their knowledge, the third shot and killed the clerk. They got more time than the actual killer.

If Sherry got a job, got a smaller apartment and wasn’t living off of alimony money, Gladys wouldn’t have died🙃

[@you_already_have_it]

Well yeah. Also if her ex didn't hire 2 tugs to break in without actually make sure no one home. I mean the same brothers could have staked the house few hours prior to make sure it's empty, then they would notice poor Gladys was home.

[@cunningsmile4166]

She died from getting her gut hit by a table? Geez. 0:24 woman of kleenex

Trudy doesn't know what Monk's smile means? Did she just start working for him?

[@mrsbluesky8415]

That’s Natalie.

[@mohd88zarif7]

Trudy is Monk's late wife

[@a.bertasso1298]

Trudy is his late wife. Natalie had not been working for Monk that long at this point, so they were still getting to know each other.

[@kapsig10]

Lol 😂 screw up just noticed. The $5 was a 2006 design while the school was set in the 70s 😅

[@mckenziepictures]

A latina with two strangers in her living room is fearful of using a gun? Seems to me that once intruders are inside of a person's house, they are totally within their legal rights to use deadly force.

[@Lp-ze1tg]

Technically I think that would be considered accident and not a murder case. The organizer of this crime haven't made request to kill anyone.

[@lynne709]

He requested that they break into his ex wife’s house. That’s a crime. When someone dies during the commission of a crime, it’s murder.

[@seedy80]

Alimony has got to be one of the dumbest laws in America.

[@a.g.demada5263]

How does it work exactly ? (I'm french)

[@seedy80]

@a.g.demada5263 I'm not American either, but basically, if your relationship breaks up, you still have to pay your partner money so that they can live the same lifestyle as they did when they were with you. Imagine a prostitute that you keep paying for after they leave.

[@user-fr5hs4vj4d]

Moral of the story. Women should never get alimony.

[@Thrifty032781]

This episode was so stupid. They caught the guy based on the pattern of his zeroes? If he'd kept his mouth shut and retained a lawyer, he could have beaten the rap.

[@cilva7able]

So sherry married a bully and the man who framed her for stealing in middle school?

[@sarahberkner]

No it was a different person.

I don't like this episode because it always was stated the disorder he has came from his wife's murder, with a car bomb, but this makes him seem like he was born with his ticks and stuff Also, this woman gave him a severed decomposing plant that was sitting in her warm oily hairy scalp, TWICE!! why does she hate him so much??

This isn’t even the only episode that indicates that his quirks existed before Trudy died; it’s established many times in the series that everything got worse after her death
