    I am so, so sorry for Russ. The emotional torture he must have endured makes me tearful just thinking about it. He finds his wife brutally murdered, is then framed for it, and then is taken away from his daughters during the most traumatic time of their lives. This poor man, I hope he gets the peace he needs.
    Edit: I looked it up and apparently he doesn't have contact with the daughters bc he was cheating on their mum whilst she was dying so the daughters won't talk to him. Additionally, he hasn't reached out bc he feels betrayed by their testimony at trial.
    Overall just awful situation.

      Right? I was so baffled by that, Betsy was basically on her deathbed. Unless she tried to tell Pam that she had changed her mind about the insurance policy going to her, I can’t think of many reasons to kill her at that point, except to speed it up because she couldn’t wait any longer

    For the jury to believe that Russ killed his wife is honestly terrifying. Like there was no evidence barely against him and they said yep he's guilty. How many more people have these jurors convicted that were innocent? It's kind of like the Casey Anthony case and making someone who's so clearly guilty go free because of not wanting to give her the death penalty? Like its ridiculous. I feel like they need to get rid of the whole jury thing.

    Cases like these make me think how scary the police/justice system for each country is. I cannot fathom the horror of Russ being convicted of his wife’s murder without any proper evidence to prove him guilty. It frustrates me knowing that people like Pam can actually get away with something like this. Also, felt really bad and sorry for Louis - he did not see it coming and he wasn’t supposed to be in that situation but Pam was just pure evil to let someone innocent played in her monstrous act.
    At the end, I hope that Betsy and Louis and their families got the justice they all deserves. May their souls rest in peace 🙏

    Obviously the first trial was misjudged and not well investigated with all the factual evidence. Also, if your story chances and the others doesn't then that also has to be looked at. At least her husband story was consistent. Poor Louis, disabled and murdered by one of the dumbest killers ever. If she did murder her mom then that's so disgusting and not human. Hope she rots in jail for the rest of her life.

Betsy is a toxic monster who is completely full of shit who would go out of her way to kill not only her best friend but to kill this other innocent guy that did nothing to her. It's just insane that there are people who blame others when it's actually their fault. There is a special place in hell for Betsy. I hope she is found guilty for the premeditated murder of Pam and is handed the death penalty. I am excited to see your update on this case Bella and Happy New Year to you and Kerry.
