The Deadly Wilder Plot

Man the recording with Cynthia is just disgusting, no remorse and bragging about being proud of her husband, very hard to listen too. I'm glad she didn't take the plead deal thinking she'd get lesser time but was slapped with a full life term, that was karma to me; hats off to the judge! I hate how these women who help their husbands commit crimes tend to get lesser sentences when most of them are just as evil and vindictive.

Absolutely man, I was legit fist-pumping when Mike got to that part. Her date did exactly what she *should've* done, what she had SOOO many opportunities to do - go to the police. Refusing to "snitch" doesn't make you some great folk hero, it doesn't make you someone to be admired; on the contrary, it makes you a coward, and it makes you complicit in whatever crime is being committed as well as partially responsible for its outcome.

Her date was so clever while getting her to talk. The way he knew he had to make her talk about the weapon, but he worded it in a way that didn't obviously sound like he was trying to make her talk about it. Making it sound like part of the conversation. Good on him for going to the cops about it and being willing to get that recording.

His wife did everything for him cook clean and anything technical so he was sort of a helpless 67 year old. He was very lonely so I called him every chance I could since he lived about 300 miles away. About 6 months ago I introduced him to "That Chapter". He began to watch it regularly and He would say to me "lets give it a go" he really was enjoying your shows. Unfortunately he didn't answer the phone one day. I began to call him and no answer. I called his son and told him I couldn't reach him. Sadly he was found unresponsive in his bed. The autopsy revealed an overdose of pain killers. I am glad that he wasn't in pain when he died. Now he is resting in Peace.(RIP) Since then I am enjoying your stories alone. Just like my brother, I enjoy the way you explain your stories Mike.

My heart goes out to Christopher. It seems like he and Angela were building a nice life together, and they had a lot to look forward to. Cynthia is probably worse than Richie in the sense that she was not even emotionally entangled in the matters that led to the murder (not that there is any excusable reason on Richie's part). Even after all was said and done, she only regretted that Richie was too emotional in committing the murder which led to him being caught. No remorse, no sympathy for the kids who lost their mother, nothing. I think that is why she got such a strong sentence for her role. She's just a sh*t human who's wasted the rest of her life.

[@brt5273]

Listening to that recording makes me wonder if she was actually the one instigating her husband to murder his ex-wife. He had to be that type of individual to do it...as she said...out of hatred and rage, but she was the one regularly stalking the victim, sounded so calculated in planning, and in contrast to her husband she was not trying to shift blame. Even claimed she was trying to sound "cool". It would definitely simplify her life if his ex-wife was out of the picture.

Christopher seemed totally broken, and to be on Anti Depression medication at the trial hope he and all the children recover. Great that the guy Cynthia was seeing went to Cops, so often many don't especially those with past criminal offences, I hope he got great support for his part, who knows what that Woman would do next time she had an issue with someone, she clearly gives it a lot of thought, she thought just because of his past the Guy would keep her secrets, she is clearly the more dangerous out of the two of them, when comes to reoffending she is high risk. Glad she got the same sentence as her reason was pure Jealousy not even custody like him, the fact that he kept saying her last words were "I Love You" are very telling, bookies would not even take a bet, that he constantly compared Cynthia to Angila this would have pissed her off no end, as there is no way she would ever be anything resembling the Amazing Human Angila clearly was, Cynthia decided best way to deal is resolve the problem was to wind her inadequate Richie up to kill her, she clearly would have murdered Angila herself if he had not done it. Takes no imagination to think of her starting to lead Richie the Arsehole to a point where he thought he came to decision to kill Angela, it was Cynthia that put this all in motion, she is clearly a bigger bully than he is, this was why there is no repeat in the pattern of abuse, that a normal woman like Angila suffered at hands of Richie, he was no match for a woman like Cynthia, he did not even report her part in the crime once she started seeing other men, probably because she held threat of access and safety of the children over him, to continue her control of him, why else would a guy like him report her part like, many men usually do when Female partner in crime starts up with other men

Before his conviction, he could not testify against her (or her him) without jumping through a lot of hoops of "consent", and even that is a risk most prosecutors won't take unless they have to - and also after his conviction similar limitations apply.
