  • Martin MacNeill seemed to have it all; great job, beautiful wife, eight kids. But when he encouraged his wife Michele MacNeill to have a face lift, well, not long after Martin MacNeill's entire house of cards would come collapsing down, and it turned out no one knew the real Martin MacNeill.

    I did a double take when the daughters took the stand and I heard Alexis state her surname as Sommers rather than MacNeill. At first i thought it was because she married someone named Sommers, but then I remembered that was Michele‘s birth surname. She denied her own father‘s name. That made me smile.

    Pro tip: Never threaten to leave, just leave. No advance warning, don’t worry about possessions, they are just things that can mostly be replaced...nothing however can give you back your life, or repair the damage done to children by living in a toxic home environment. You’ll manage, it will be ok.

The two most dangerous times are leaving and in the period after you have left. A controlling person isn’t going to let you leave, and generally you know that person well enough to know that they will carry through with their threats..if anyone is in fear for their life in a relationship, they need to get out without any fanfare, they also need to know that a piece of paper means jack sh*t to people like this, an AVO is like waving a red rag at a bull....and the most likely place that you will die is in your own home...be vigilant.

    I remember being locked up and being in the same section as macniell. He was so sure he was going to win his case, he almost fooled me with how well spoken he was. I remember I got out and a year later I returned to Utah county jail and he recognized me in the holding cell at court and he was really upset he was still behind bars. Months later we were waiting to get our recreation time at 7pm and I remember they locked the whole jail down and kept us in our cells that night because he tried to end his life with one of those crappy single blade razors. So glad I grew out that lifestyle of being incarcerated.

    I've been with my wife for 30 years and I can say in all truthfulness that our relationship has gotten so much better.
    We truly understand each better than we ever have and the more I get to know her,the more I see we have in common.
    We are in our sixties now and it feels like life is just getting started.
    She still makes me laugh every day without even trying.I'm glad we survived the really rough times in our relationship so that we arrived at this point intact and stronger and happier.

    So I actually was a paralegal for the defense on this case. The defense attorneys worked extremely hard to make sure that there was a lot of evidence presented and a lot of it got very technical from a medical standpoint.
    The point of it all is to make sure that justice is actually served, so the load of evidence and long deliberation is actually a really good thing.
    It means that his guilty verdict was well considered and very difficult to overturn.
    That being said, Martin was a terrible person and I hated it every time he was at the office. Dead eyes.
    The primary defense attorney is one of the best men I've ever known. He did the case pro-bono and just wanted to make sure that the truth was discovered beyond a reasonable doubt. He worked harder on that case than most people work in their entire lives. It really changed my perspective on defense attorneys.

      THIS! I’ve got a 100% track record on approve/don’t approve on my kid’s bf/gfs. Luckily I have smart children and they listen to old Mama. One son has now found his future wife and we all knew it( even her side) When they got together. We all said “ok, here is their missing piece.” They dated four years and are now planning their wedding and family. Her aunt and I were friends and set them up. So.... listen to your family kiddos... we can see a bigger picture from a different perspective without the cloud of emotion. Sometimes Mama DOES know best. I feel so dang bad for Michelle and Alexis. Michelle seemed like a decent person and Alexis is a freaking hero as far as I am concerned. I’m so glad she was able to get the kids. So much stress and tragedy at so young an age. I hope she has a wonderful peaceful life.
