Interesting video! At the time this happened I was a legal researcher and followed this case closely. Originally it was said that Claudine was putting something away in a dresser drawer and came upon Spider's gun. It was a replica of some famous model gun and intended for display, a gift from his father. She didn't know that much about it and pulled it out and turned to Spider and asked him how this thing worked. She playfully said "bang bang" and the gun went off. It was proven that the safety on that gun did not work. I don't think there is any way she could have been convicted of premeditated murder. I actually think the sentence was fair. Contrary to what has been said later, her children were home at the time, and I cannot see her shooting him with the three children in the house. If I remember correctly, Andy Williams flew in to get the children and take them to California so that no one could upset them. It's an interesting case to this day. Thanks for covering it!
I had read that she did not intend to murder him, but scare him as he was abusive to her and the kids under the influence of substances. Although if that were the case, I don’t know why the gun would be loaded.
Nice summation of the case, and good analysis. Of course she was guilty!
I recently bought a vinyl of Claudine Longet, just looking to expand my music taste…. Wtf Claudine

munchiemunchie2010 oh that’s interesting, and if true, could tie into why his family did not want her talking about it.
She pulled the trigger 5 times ??
Yup. 5 accidents in a row.
