I believe Melody is Innocent of the murder. Yes, she did have an affair, but I believe the father did also. They lived in the same house and the only one that would be cut off of any money is Scott. A grown man still asking his Daddy for money for everything. And he even lived on the property. If he was in Iraq, I can't believe he was ever Frontline. He had the gun, the ammo and the motive.
Imo she’s guilty and she used the farm equipment to tow his body to the burn pile. Her adrenaline was heightened in and after the murder. Like mothers lifting a car off their child she had super human strength. It’s possible. The phone pings, and her using his credit card afterwards going on a shopping spree. Rusty saying she told him Gary was on the burn pile before anyone found him there. Both prosecution and defense gave great closing arguments. I think she’s guilty but I have been wrong before. I have watched her eyes in court and they’re very telling. I honestly think she knows her goose is cooked. If she’s acquitted she committed the perfect crime and got away with murder. Defense did put reasonable doubt out there trying to save her, so she may get away with it. I will be very surprised that Scott did it. He did show his face today in court when he didn’t have to be there. The daughter that testified for her mother was a no show.
Scott wasn’t beneficiary Melody was. Also Scott wasn’t around there much at all the only reason he went home is because Melody set him up told him the horses got out.
The horses were NOT out. It was a lie. Why???? How can it not be more clear that she’s framing her own son? Which is not out of character for her - she had been manipulative and mean and abusive.
Rusty knew she did it. Who, when told a person is on a burn pile says "Dont tell me another thing!" What they say is "Omg, Is he hurt?" Is he dead? or maybe even "Who would do this?" But no, he said nothing because he already knew it was Melody...
Money hungry,cheating and her cousins gun going missing.Melody and Rusty were the only ones at the cousins home so what happened to her cousins gun.Trying to throw you kids under the bus,you've got to be kidding!
I’ve never heard of a defendant not rising for the jury. Very disrespectful as if she’s telling the jury this trial is a joke. If she was innocent she would respect the court and the jury and have some compassion towards her deceased husband. This part rubbed me the wrong way. No one is above the law. Never heard of a lawyer not rising as well as advising their client to not stand. Ridiculous. Guilty.
Agreed! My biggest issue is the crime scene investigation. The expired Bluestar, the fact that they didn't swab and confirm the presumed blood stains... And they didn't test ANYTHING in the barn.
I noticed another comment about how lucky she was. I thought how quick everyone is to judge her affairs when Gary when she was knee deep in little kids, worked while he was in law school and hosted his law office parties and kept an immaculate house, moved his secretary and had an affair. The secretary grew a conscience once she met Melody! And everybody was ready to believe they stopped even tho they continued to work together?? Altho apparently it was so spectacular the secretary couldnt remember the sex 🤣🤣. So many people think it’s not her money too. She worked very hard for that family.
I think she helped Scott cover after he killed his Dad in a rage. And Scott being the entitled, disrespectful kid he is turned on her. Not very bright because she knows chapter and verse about all those kids.
No , she could not clean up that much blood. She shot him though. Machinery on the property…she may have had help, she made him walk to the burn pile with a gun to his head, who knows? But she did shoot him.
Great attempt using the weight of the fertilizer to dispute that Melody could not have possibly moved his body, but it still does not explain her statement, "He's in the burn pile " at 2 am with Rusty !
Don't think she did it. The prosecution didn't do a good enough job proving there case. She may be guilty of some other things. But not this not murder.
Melody must have paid a lot for her attorneys to defend her, as they’re very skilled at sowing doubt in the jurors’ minds. Nonetheless, if I were a juror, I’d find her guilty because she had the motive, means, and opportunity to murder her husband. Still, I worry the verdict could end in acquittal or a hung jury. If that’s the case, I believe that ultimately Gary will receive justice before God, and Melody will face punishment in the final judgment.
Well, did she have a time limit in which to drag that body? First of all they live in a place where she won't be seen, secondly she could have dragged the body little by little. I have a bad back and that's what I do when I need to do things in the garage or yard. Move something heavy a foot or two then go rest for ten or fifteen minutes and repeat until the chore is done.
@@freedomfirst5557 exactly. She was in good shape back then. She aged since the unaliving probably from guilt. Her adrenaline alone had to have been up there. If I needed to get rid of a body, mind over matter! I could do it. I’m her age now as she was then when Gary died. In court she looks like a frail old woman.
I think Scott did it. He didn’t seem to have any direction except to live off his dad’s money. I think he had an argument with dad and lost it. I think there is reasonable doubt in this case regarding the mom. What a dysfunctional family.
Guilty. The lawyer looked ridiculous dropping the bags on the floor with a big thump. They had enough machinery on that property to bring the body to the burn pile. She shot him.
Some of yall are either naive or you dont believe a woman could do that. First of all, her cousin stated that Melody hated Gary. Secondly, Melody also made the comment I can't wait till he dies. 3 weeks after her and Rusty bucket went looking for wedding rings, Gary gets killed. Come on folks.
Man i pray that this jury will remember the stone face she has shown since she has shown since this trial began even when officers spoke about finding her husmans burned at least partial skeleton she never showed any emotion she was even threatnening her kids about money and it will bother me but it wont surprise me if this trial ends in a hung jury or acquittal
#CourtTV - What do YOU think?
100% Guilty
I believe that Melody is guilty
There’s too much evidence that she shot him in a fit of fury and then put his body on the burnpile
I believe Melody is Innocent of the murder. Yes, she did have an affair, but I believe the father did also. They lived in the same house and the only one that would be cut off of any money is Scott.

Not Guilty of Murder
"HE'S IN THE BURN PILE."
Regardless of where He got Shot.
Scott wasn’t beneficiary Melody was. Also Scott wasn’t around there much at all the only reason he went home is because Melody set him up told him the horses got out.
Exactly those lawyers are shameful blaming Scott
Scott did it
The horses were NOT out. It was a lie. Why???? How can
it not be more clear that she’s framing her own son? Which is not out of character for her - she had been manipulative and mean and abusive.
She’s a piece of work.
Guilty as charged.💯
Rusty knew she did it. Who, when told a person is on a burn pile says "Dont tell me another thing!"
What they say is "Omg, Is he hurt?" Is he dead? or maybe even "Who would do this?"
But no, he said nothing because he already knew it was Melody...
Exactly right
Guilty for sure
She either had help or she killed him by the fire pit. Either way she is guilty, and I hope jury can see that
If she is blaming her son she’s guilty!
She shot him at the burn pile that’s why.
Agreed when she shot the first bullet he ran to get away from her and she chased him on burn pile and shot again
What I think he did not died from the shooting,he he died from the fire.
Money hungry,cheating and her cousins gun going missing.Melody and Rusty were the only ones at the cousins home so what happened to her cousins gun.Trying to throw you kids under the bus,you've got to be kidding!
@@roxyvekved5958 I have thought of that! Very possible. Makes sense.
He was giving her money away to her children in her mind 😮

Guilty.
It's not disrespectful. Her attorney explained why he did not have her stand.
A lot of courts will not remove ankle shackles therefore they cannot stand. Different states have different rules regarding this.
@@Dawn5085 yes he had to explain it. That’s your opinion if you think it’s not disrespectful and I respect your opinion. To me it’s telling.
@@generallyspeaking850☝️☝️
@@adamskinner-fu4vbShe walked out in a huff after Rusty testimonial she did not have her ankles in shackles
She will not stand when the jury comes in, because "they are not her peers", she is working very, very hard to dig her own grave.
She thinks she's better than everyone
She will do VERY well in prison.
She looks like she was made for it.
I want to know WHY the state never mentioned her possibly killing Gary at the burn pile?
@@Marcia-oo7yc ikr
Because their "evidence" shows he was killed in the basement. The bullet, the blood.
When my husband 6ft 2in was ill and fell out of bed....TWO ambulance men took great difficulty in getting him back to bed..
Guilty
I think that there is plenty of reasonable doubt. Innuendo, speculation, no evidence not even circumstantial evidence.
💯 agree 👍
Agreed! My biggest issue is the crime scene investigation. The expired Bluestar, the fact that they didn't swab and confirm the presumed blood stains... And they didn't test ANYTHING in the barn.
This female prosecutor is brilliant. ❤😊
She is innocent. She would not blame her son if she didnt have strong reason to.
Agree
Where there’s a will there’s a way
Or one of her 5 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
TRACTOR SHE USED
How do you know? I wondered how they thought she moved the body!
@@LovePeaceBeKind yep
@@jenniferlong651One of her 5 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎 pulled his body.
Jury started deliberating close to 4pm est.
How do you know?
That's what I've been saying . How could a tiny woman move a 300 lb man by herself ??
In Johnny Cochran voice, "If she couldn't lift you must acquit".
She had 5 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

@@SeasonsofTime24My thoughts exactly! Scott was/is an angry man boy that has no control over his emotions/actions.
@@SeasonsofTime24I'm also starting to think both Scott and Melody could have been involved. The prosecution's theory just doesn't make sense.
Agree I beleive she is innocent
Great mom,trying to throw your son under a bus!
Very sad 😢😢😢
I don't think she did it.. if so not by herself..
I beleive she is innocent
My friend is a juror on this case. I haven’t spoken to her.
Thank God it didn’t drag on longer.
Very difficult when the defense attorneys are so aggressive and rude to people. They're bullies!! She is SO guilty!
How does a 125 lb person drag 300 plus across a floor????
Physically.
Innocent.
Guilty. She cut him up. That's how she moved him.
Scott's bathroom was all nice and cleaned up tho.....It was spic and span too clean in my opinion.
No , she could not clean up that much blood. She shot him though. Machinery on the property…she may have had help, she made him walk to the burn pile with a gun to his head, who knows? But she did shoot him.
How do you drag the body outside to put it in the kobota across the porch and down the stairs????
He prob died outside running away from her
Physically.
@miaanslow7213 there was no blood found past the front door.
Defense closing was strong! There is so much reasonable doubt.
What a illustration, with the bag.
Concerned of a mistral. ? She is guilty
Great attempt using the weight of the fertilizer to dispute that Melody could not have possibly moved his body, but it still does not explain her statement, "He's in the burn pile " at 2 am with Rusty !

That would be taking a chance of someone showing up.

@freedomfirst5557 with what did she drag him with, no fibers found. The stairs are stone, fibers would be found.
@freedomfirst5557 regardless of tarp canvass used fibers never found. I found that odd.
I thought the jury left for the day!?!?
@@KimProvence-ku8ep they did. Be back tomorrow at 9 est
How do they know he was killed inside?
Allegedly, they found blood droplets starting from where Mr. Gary slept.
Also being the. Fact that we know he was shot in his hip side, they retrieved a bullet from his ribside..
@@KatesaGrayHis hip side ? The bullet was found on his left side rib cage area below the heart.
I think Scott did it. He didn’t seem to have any direction except to live off his dad’s money. I think he had an argument with dad and lost it. I think there is reasonable doubt in this case regarding the mom. What a dysfunctional family.
Agree mum is innocent
Guilty. The lawyer looked ridiculous dropping the bags on the floor with a big thump. They had enough machinery on that property to bring the body to the burn pile. She shot him.
Is Scott on trial? Seems like all are ready to blame Scott. He is not on trial. Lots of questions have been raised, but truth is a stubborn thing.
Some of yall are either naive or you dont believe a woman could do that.
First of all, her cousin stated that Melody hated Gary. Secondly, Melody also made the comment I can't wait till he dies.
3 weeks after her and Rusty bucket went looking for wedding rings, Gary gets killed. Come on folks.
Wow how did the judge allow that
They all had financial motives especially Melody 😊
I think Scott did it .. if melody gets convicted then the kids will get the money and that’s what they wanted …it’s always been about the money.
Agree
Melody needs to show respect and stand for the jury. A chase of her husband after firing a shot in the basement by Melody with a gun to outside?
You didn’t see he has a crush on melody lol
Ankle shackles. Cannot stand. It was explained by her lawyer. Relax.
@@adamskinner-fu4vb I don’t think she’s shackled she’s out on bond. If that’s the case I missed it in his statement.
@@adamskinner-fu4vb apparently she is out on bail. Was told she has no ankle bracelet.
@@adamskinner-fu4vb relax.
Is she shackled in court? I thought she was out on bail?
She used her Horse to drag the body .🐴
She shot him outside
She raised shady sons who definitely got a hand in this death.... she'll be NOT guilty! No evidence directly links her...simple
You know that sounds ridiculous even as you say it
Not guilty
Man i pray that this jury will remember the stone face she has shown since she has shown since this trial began even when officers spoke about finding her husmans burned at least partial skeleton she never showed any emotion she was even threatnening her kids about money and it will bother me but it wont surprise me if this trial ends in a hung jury or acquittal
Don't judge a book by its cover.
Guilty
