    I don’t know how the jury would come to terms with her letting him lie there for 6 hours, changing his clothes after he wet himself, took pictures of him lying on the floor, lying on the couch for hours unconscious, and not calling 911 until his friend insisted on him going to the hospital. The “he hates hospitals” excuse is ridiculous. It was clear the man was dying. Anyone that would rip off their good friends, and in laws of their life saving, without a second thought is capable of most anything. Lying about having cancer, putting her kids through that and then having them testify for her in a clearly rehearsed testimony is despicable. She cares about no one, except herself. She will be found guilty.

    As a criminal defense attorney myself, it infuriates me when other defense attorneys gloss over the Beyond Reasonable Doubt jury instruction and Circumstantial Evidence instruction. In my experience, teaching the Jury how to weigh evidence with those instructions is best way to get a not-guilty verdict.

There are very very few decent defence lawyers I’ve seen in terms of their moral compass. They’re usually willing to throw everyone under the bus in an attempt to get. NG verdict. Especially the private ones who are more in it for the money and their reputation to get people off.

The state never changed the story, the neighbor right out said Natalie wanted the insulin for cancer, not that she might have. That she did have. Both neighbors said there was no reason for Natalie to have insulin for their son. She lied sooo many times about Michael. He lowered himself, he hit his head n left a dint on marble type of counter top. Ya n was still alive? Wrong. She pretended to be Michael when he was actually dying. Not going into anything else, guilty . There is so much more. Her kids said stuff came from Mexico cuz that is what they were told. It was from Florida. The kids only believe what they were told. It’s so sad.

      Right but like you said. The person was passing away. Point proven…. Sometimes we take pics of someone being foolish like drinking a bunch n throwing up. To show them later. Sometimes we take pics to remember someone from passing away. The point is, she was taking pics n not getting him help. Then when someone would respond with, take him to ER she would make up an excuse. I spent many yrs on the hospital as a teen. My mom was very sick. I hate hospitals n the smell, the sounds, the doctors…. However my family would not take pics. They would take me n deal with me later. I would be thankful. If someone doesnt understand it was not good, not using common sense. She wanted to be able to say…. If I was trying to hide it I wouldn’t call my friends. I mean she fooled her husband, family, friends. She is smart. She should have used her brains n not be greedy. More more more.

    The defense attorney is very obnoxious and rude. But word of advise he needs to slow down cause it looks like he was going to have a heart attack and it wasn’t the first time during this trial that I noticed that.

    I pray one day her children believe their dad loved them m did not harm himself nor steal money. What a monster to not only take the life of their dad for her gain but to make the kids think badly of him…. I wonder if the kids have a relationship with their paternal side of the family?

      Are you her family or something because your dozens of inane comments are a bit crazy.
