You know the real issue isn't even lying. It's fallibility. People think their own memories are infallible. They think, "I've done nothing wrong." There's an overwhelming misplaced trust that the lawyers won't twist words, or spin the truth, and that the jury will be able to see through emotional manipulation, theatrics, and will just "forget" when a lawyer asserts something without evidence. Most of her testimony involved the defense attorney ramming her for being a cheater. There was no evidence she told Hemy to kill her husband, but because she did one immoral thing, she must be guilty of murder. That's where it falls apart.

I grew up right nearby (East Cobb), and had just started my final year of middle school when this happened. My personal opinion (just based on the type of people I grew up around; who lived that same lifestyle and had the same types of social circles) is that Andrea got addicted to the “rush” of having an affair, and then stupidly lied throughout the investigation to preserve her image- I don’t think she planned or even wanted her husband dead. Appearances are *everything* to people here. It’s honestly quite ridiculous. My own mom cared more about how I dressed and did my hair than she did about my grades/mental health. Same goes for almost every other kid at my old schools. To Andrea- her reputation was more important than solving her husband’s murder. It’s incredibly heinous, but it’s not murder. I think she deserved the 5 years she got (and I hope it knocked her down several pegs), but the reality is she probably had no idea what her lover was planning. It’s really just shallow all around. I wouldn’t recommend moving here unless you already have a good head on your shoulders. It’s very easy to get caught up in the gossip and “superior” feeling lots of people have around here.

See you would think we have progressed technologically speaking but I swear a lot of these cases in the 2010s+ somehow look/sound worse than some 1990s interview footage i've seen. It's ridiculous.

[@somethingelse4424]

I thought the detective was having a stroke due to how choppy the audio was. And you are exactly right. Of all the things to go cheap on, why the AV equipment in the fckn interrogation room. This looks and sounds like 1990s era equipment, and for the price of one handgun they could probably produce at least KZbin quality video and sound for the court.

She wasn't the one on trial

[@SpecialBlanket]

the prosecution for HIS trial.

[@Jay22222]

The issue is, if you want to defend yourself (not in a legal representation sense) or you want to defend whoever is on trial then you have to open yourself up to cross examination by both the defence and the prosecution. You have to be a bit bonkers to ignore the advice of all legal counsel and take the stand because for every decent point or thing you might have to say, the prosecution will shred you six ways to Sunday and anyone that’s ever been in a criminal courtroom trial will know this. She was crazy to think this was a good idea and the second she made that choice.(From the clips alone of the older gentleman with the Mo and the younger black prosecutor, any sane person (I think, would think “Not an effing chance am I opening that can of worms, I’m not even sure if it’ll be worms that come out of the can, and I’m the one being questioned!”, before she had even opened her mouth, she had talked herself into prison time. She seems intelligent but her egotism or inflated sense of intellect made her make really just a baffling decision. She got what she deserved, the killer got fucked over. He needed serious involuntary psychiatric help for a LONG period of time and perhaps never being allowed back into society but he’d been living with undiagnosed bipolar for what, 30 years? Life in jail seems like an injustice to me, not that I’m in any way advocating for him to be in society ever again. To me it depends on just how independently the choice was made to bump off the husband. The real, huge and upsetting injustice is those kids going into foster care which we already know can be pretty dicey and when they’re old enough to know what happened, that’s going to mess them up something shocking. I hope they make it out.

[@Tindometari]

Did the prosecution cite her eyeglasses as an aggravating circumstance? Also, a life insurance ad popped up shortly after Rusty died. That timing's either horrible or brilliant, but I can't decide which.

My ex was bipolar & there were definitely moments when he was delusional but he always knew right from wrong. This sounds like people desperately trying to make excuses.

[@maddieb.4282]

It sounds like people are subtly misogynistic and want to punish a narcissistic woman more than they care about punishing an actual murderer. I agree, people with bipolar and even schizophrenia know right from wrong 99.9% of the time

[@AnyoneCanSee]

I'm bipolar and my ex was bipolar. I know right from wrong all the time. However, my ex jumped out of a window as she believed it was the only way o save humanity from a plague. She is not schizophrenic and has been with the best doctor imaginable all over Europe. She has very wealthy parents and they got her the best treatments. She's a published author (not self-published) and highly intelligent. Another friend with bipolar made his partner blindfold him and take him to a hotel so he didn't know where he was as his enemies could see what he see and would find him and kill him. Only by him not knowing where he is could he be safe from them. This guy did way too much planning for this to be anything to do with a bipolar crisis. You don't hire vans and buy disguises. He would have just turned up with a knife and told him he had to kill him because he was the reincarnation of Hitler. I've been around it and lived it for much adult life and been in many support groups etc. You cannot go on one person not having severe delusional crises. Sorry to waffle.

[@HavianEla]

[@Robinson67]

Ya…this doesn’t even make sense. Bipolar doesn’t make you a lunatic monster. It’s like they’re hoping the jury doesn’t know anything about bipolar disorder so they can make it this huge horrible thing that is an excuse for his actions. I actually find it quite offensive and irresponsible.

[@annelizebothma4422]

I've always wondered about this specific fact in this case. I guess it was investigated since it was mentioned on some documentaries. Is it not weird that the voices which the murderer hallucinated (of Barry White and Olivia Newton John)........ and the murdered victim had owned a company that sold these celebrity voices for voice messages??? (Andrea used the recordings to create these hallucinations ???)

Everyone is hitting hard on Andrea without any evidence she was involved in the murder! Never saw a case where someone is accused of that while testifying against the self admitted killer & questioned in detail about her emails,trips ect.

I'm trying to figure out is what his bipolar diagnosis had to do with his hearing voices. People with schizophrenia your voices people with bipolar don't. I'm so frustrated with bipolar disorder even being considered is having any responsibilities and making a personnel it is a mental disorder that causes you to have extremely high highs and very low lows. It's not always easy to have a relationship with someone that's bipolar but they're not Psychopaths. As a matter of fact they feel enormous guilt and remorse.
