And, to think I didn't Believe you when you said MM is crazy... SMH. I think you have the psychotic rage part described pretty well; and so, I imagine at this time MM is heavily sedated in solitary, sleeping on a cement bed, and most likely will be for weeks. She's in the proverbial straight jacket so to speak; she won't know about how 20/20 plays on TV for a long time; and. she has been stripped of everything. I mean, the more I hear the jury foreman reason their verdict, the more I believe the rest of us are going to tune in to see MM in action, that of a stunningly pretty, well spoken, severely mentally ill woman, who grabs the focus of every camera around. And manipulates the truth to her own advantage all the time. I'm sure the State had run out of patience. Did I hear the foreman say she was sitting there keeping control of her personalities? ... OMG. I am strongly inclined to believe the spotlight will dim the lights on this story much as it has on MM in solitary. At least for a while. Who knows really? She's where she's supposed to be.
Once the story plays out and there isn't anything new, there probably won't be much to say. However, one day the truth about that night might be told and I think we will all welcome it, not that it will change anything.. But maybe I should take that back because I guess the lifetime movie is free to proceed. I hope not. Please no. But, I have the sense we won't hear the truth for a couple years, maybe never. The kind of therapy that her defense paid for has all sorts of methods at getting to the truth. I'm confident she will tell it someday. But for now... Time to Detach because she is... Let her Go. It's the best thing for everyone to do. IMO
I thought I might share this story put together with these links just for anybody that might be interested in reading it. It's the story of a woman killing her husband who was initially charged with 2st degree murder and ended up accepting a plea bargain for criminally negligent homicide that oddly enough occurred exactly 6 years to the day before JC murder in the early morning hours (another coincidence). From the beginning this woman took responsibility for what she didn't intend to do; and told the truth from the start; and showed nothing but remorse; in fact there is a picture of remorse in the 2nd article.. She was believable. I'm sure the only thing the BPD asked of her was the detailed truth; they listened and recognized she was telling it. showed an incredible amount of mercy IMO A story between these two describes how the fight started; and while a bit inflammatory, it's irrelevant to the outcome. IMO it's easy to search if you want to know.

I also thought some of you might have wondered why I missed all the social media in the beginning of this case that caused so much pain and suffering for JC family. In mid-August 2015, I made a stupid fall and broke my ankle. I mean, the shinbone was literally disconnected from the anklebones; what with surgery, an implant, painkillers, nerve damage, crutches, walkers, boots, braces and learning to walk on it again, plus gaining 20 lbs, I feel like the next four months was just as suddenly disconnecting from life. So, the perspective I brought here was from that point forward of MM and TM being arrested. By that time I think most of the social media had been scrubbed. I don't feel like I got a good enough look until yesterday to say one way or the other. IMO I think I've said enough.
Namaste.
You kept us on our toes, you helped us with perspective at times and to stay grounded in reality. I think the jury hit the nail on the head when they said Molly was keeping control of her personalities....as humans, it is hard to believe such a person exists in the world and we all tried to give her the benefit of the doubt in some capacity. It was easier for us who were there from the beginning, we saw her story twist and bend as she wanted and so we were able to question.
