I think the sisters planned it together and were so arrogant they thought they could fudge the evidence enough to get an aquittal based on reasonable doubt. This was like a badly written detective novel that most people could see right through. So many lives ruined.

[@StofStuiver]

There is reasonable doubt. I would not have gone along in a guilty verdict. They were as far as presented here, only able to put her in the neighbourhood and even that has question marks. No direct evidence at all.

During Piper's testimony she slips and says that Tina said something about getting the blonde wig. No doubt in my mind that Tina actually concocted this scheme, and convinced Piper that it would work. That's why Tina isn't bothered by being thrown under the bus by her own sister. She's guilty too.

Many psychopaths secretly believe they are superior and are unable to picture themselves being outsmarted by other lesser beings.

She might have an abnormal prefrontal cortex, one function of which is predicting the consequences of one’s actions. Maybe she was a lousy prosecutor who could only analyze situations after they occurred.

Don't forget about their family who in the face of so much evidence still stand by their claim of innocence. I love each one of my sisters to death but if they were on trial and I saw that much conclusive evidence, I'd say sorry sis....I don't believe you.

[@g5realestate280]

Both sisters planned this. They thought this situation would create reasonable doubt. Only if they are identical twins. That’s where they misjudged

[@TheBrownIsland]

*Fred should Not have tried to be so Controlling and take her kids away from her,* then had her pay Debt from when they were married in the Form of $890 Child Support a month. *It cost him his life.* JOINT CUSTODY was Not enough for him, he just had to go back after a while and Fight for Full Custody. *He's dead so they'll try to make him seem like this Great person, but he provoked the Situation.* IT WAS NOT WORTH IT. She spent time in Prison but is up for Parole again in a couple years and will be out. Meanwhile Fred is Dead. It was not worth it at all. Her Adult Kids will have a Relationship with her.

[@lesjf8832]

My thought was both sisters discussed the plan with the idea of blaming each other to create doubt if one of them was arrested. It did not work. In the Interview at the end, Piper feigns crying but no tear drops emerge. She's a skilled actor.

[@cavidawilliams811]

She bought the plane ticket in her sister’s name and bought a blonde wig to pass as her sister. So she’s the one that initially tried implicating her sister.

For a former PROSECUTING attorney, it’s almost comical how stupid and sloppy she was with this crime. On top of that, to frame her own sister, that she was close with!? Now her children will also end up hating her for killing their father. What a loser.

[@bladeprime8426]

as an even smarter individual it is comical regarding her sloppy steps. as an even smarter person, we see this "show" is super manipulative. why do they waste time on the sisters relationship yet skip the facts around the justice system taking all parental rights away from the person that - the show admits- spent all their time with the children. why don't they show the fathers involvement prior to that case? why don't they show either 1) why she was unfit and/or 2) the nasty tricky he played in court.

[@bladeprime8426]

if they did then it would show that she had revenge in mind.

[@touchofdumb]

I wonder if the sisters conspired in advance (or even after the fact) about this. With the moronic goal of creating doubt in a jury. The older sister might’ve been quite comfortable with the fact that there would’ve been no proof tying her to the crime after her sister’s exoneration. So maybe it was “go ahead sis it can’t hurt me.” With their relationship I can’t imagine they didn’t share the plot from conception. I also believe both sisters are psychopaths. They often have a god complex. For them, the idea that they could be outwitted by lesser beings is unthinkable. That’s why they can often leave normal people scratching their heads.

[@ggurks]

I don't think she framed her sister. I think the sisters planned it both together and the plan was to make it look like it might have been the other one and so create doubt in the jury. I'm glad it didn't work

​@Vlasko60 *EXACTLY! He escalated the Situation trying to be controlling.* He had the judge agree to a Psychiatrist evaluating both him and her to see who would be better. Supposedly Fred could use better Judgement based on the evaluation. That still doesn't make her a Bad Mom if someone else has better reasoning skills. Some wives are better at that than their Husbands. Still, both parents are fine. He made accusations that were used against her CLAIMING HE FEARED For the Children's Safety while with her, since she let them Cross a 4-lane highway alone.

She murdered a great father…. Thats the real tragedy here.

[@Tuturial464]

Her sister was no victim. She’s an accomplice

[@CMi-em6fs]

Pretty sure her sister wasn’t blindsided. That was the story they came up with together in order to create reasonable doubt

[@valiantvigilante]

Piper in particular is such an evil manipulative woman. Even invoking God and prayers and dangling crosses around her neck. She murdered Fred in cold blood without once considering that her children might want to have their father, too. Like the selfish toxic vindictive B she is, she gunned down the poor man. She, the once hot shot lawyer who once had everyone wrapped around her finger with her whimpering sympathetic eyes and southern girl charm was finally put in her place by a man she couldn't charm into submission. I would love to hear the children's perspective on their mother AND their aunt (Tina), who at the very least I'm sure didn't help and may have encouraged Piper to knock off her ex. Disgusting.

After watching both episodes, I still really didn't want to believe it. But they certainly got it 💯 % right. It's really unfortunate...

[@Martiniization]

She killed her ex-husband. She had to lie many times, and she did, every time she needed to. She is a great liar. We see that her lies weren't good enough for the investigators not to disprove them. The combination of her faulty lies and her being a murderer truly goes against her being an honest and decent person. She should have questioned her own intelligence and her ethics, but her ego got the best of her. And ain't that the story with all criminals? She, her mother and her sister really need to "go back to the drawing board" for the sake of truly getting to know themselves and each other, in addition to understanding how and/or why they each or all "took very wrong turns" in life.

[@JonBlackstone]

48 hours has always been such a great true crime show. Others are great; but 48 hours is the best. Harold Dow was so great. I can't think of another host who had the combination of cool voice and great interviewer. Why isn't there a location where CBS provides the entire catalog of episodes from the very beginning? I've looked at their website and app and it's not even close to complete. What's the deal? Does anybody know?

[@dannyhernandez2203]

Early on 48 hours used to cover an event for 48 hours. Political campaign, hospital what have you. It then transitions into a crime show in the 90's and a full crime show in the late 2000's. I would think that's why the set of episodes are incomplete.
