Donna Vasyli has a very foul mouth and temper going by the phone messages she sent both Sunnie and Lisa. From the calls aired it appears Donna felt she owned Phil.

Yes it's as if she thinks if she couldn't have Phil, no other woman will!

In July 2017, the Court of Appeal quashed her guilty verdict, and consequently ordered a retrial.
#In the Court of Appeal’s 71-page judgment, then-President Justice Dame Anita Allen said she was of the view the jury was possibly left with the impression, as suggested by counsel for the prosecution in its closing address, that the appellant lied about her clothing and the functionality of security cameras to conceal the murder of her husband.
#This, she said, resulted in a clear danger that the jury might regard the lies of the appellant as probative of her guilt and warranted the judge to give a Lucas direction on the significance of lies.
#Justice Jon Isaacs expressed concern that manslaughter by provocation was not left to the jury as an option while Justice Stella Crane-Scott dissented on the necessity of a retrial entirely given the inconclusive state of the circumstantial evidence.
#However, her colleagues believed a retrial was in the interest of justice.
#One week later, Vasyli was granted $250,000 bail by Justice Turner.
#In November 2017, the appellate court granted Vasyli leave to pursue her fight against a retrial to the London-based Privy Council.
#The Court of Appeal ruled that leave would be granted pursuant to the usual provisions, that is on the condition that Vasyli enter a security in the amount of $2,861 to furnish the cost of her application.
#Additionally, Vasyli and her legal team were also required to procure the preparation of all related records and have them dispatched to the Privy Council.

The wife of a Sydney multi-millionaire jailed for his murder is set to have her case retried before the Commonwealth's highest court, but in a dramatic twist, abusive and aggressive messages she left for her husband's secret lover have emerged.
Donna Vasyli is awaiting a retrial after her initial conviction and 20 year sentence were overturned. But murder victim Phillip Vasyli's former lover told Channel 9 she's "terrified" of Donna, after receiving a string of upsetting voicemail messages.
Donna, from Sydney's Liverpool, was jailed in the Bahamas last October for her husband's murder. Phillip, 59, was found dead with a single stab wound to his chest in the couple's Bahamas mansion two years ago.
Donna - his childhood sweetheart with whom he had two children - was found crying and shaking in the bedroom but denied doing anything wrong.

Exactly, he was her property regardless of his wants needs and free will. not only did she send abusive and threatening messages to Sunnie she also did the same to Lisa.

Donna Vasyli’s appeal will be heard at the Privy Council over two days starting on January 15, 2020.
There are a number of possible outcomes.
If a permanent stay is granted, that’s effectively the end of the prosecution of Donna Vasyli.
If the appeal fails, then it’s another murder trial in the Bahamas.
