She should have just divorced him and destroyed him financially instead of killing him.
She should have just divorced him although I can understand her heightened emotions. As soon as he made a list of things she needed to change to get him to stop cheating on her there is no repairing that. That's someone who doesnt give a darn about their spouse and only cares for themselves. There was no guilt , regret or understanding of his actions.
Ha! Look at all those bitter women defending the witch because she didn’t have the gut to just walk away like a normal person would do. I hope y’all b*ches keep the same energy when a man kills his wife for cheating. Y’all are sick just just like her.😩
It was terrible thst this woman was made to feel unattractive..and thst she bought into a nan’s demands. In this case, I thunk I will blame the victim…which you are never supposed to do. But that n=man was despicable..
Had a husband cheat on me, but I didn't kill him–just divorced him.
Thts why her husband should of never lied to her, the liars are the ones tht bring this upon themselves, she was willing to get a divorce but there he went and lied to her again and asked her to do things to please him and he still lied to her so to me thts what he gets.
She could've just divorced him and used the private investigators evidence in court got child support and alimony and she would be living nice right now but.. That's a whole other story. So Sad
why do they always have an affair with the ugly ones?
This lady did her time and is finally out if jail. Crime of passion.
No matter the circumstances this woman is GUITY as charged!! She should have just walked away from a man who did not love her anymore.
Talk about hang them high when it come to men or people of color let that be a black woman with two kids she would have got life period smdh
After ALL Of THIS,
The Mistress Ended Up Marrying A Woman ??
😳
No dignity.
Street justice
To be honest, I don't understand why Clara put herself through the indignity of listening to her husband compare her to another woman, especially the very woman he's having an affair with.
17:43 So, she allowed some cheating sleaze ball to tell her what her bad qualities are? That's a bad idea all the way around.
If it were me, I'd have him tattoo my name & list of HIS bad qualities across his body before I gave him the boot, for good.
Wonder if they would have ran a dental practice together instead of 2 separate ones, maybe that would have been better for their marriage?…
I remember seeing this on the news the day it happened.
Let's just say the gender was switched though. A man would get life for this. Passion or no passion. She definitely did this out of outrage!!! And yes this was an act of passion. But thank goodness she was a female bc she could have gotten life!
There was a kid hysterically screaming and crying and I turned to her and told her to be quiet 🤨🤬 wtf… What kind of biotch comes across a hysterical child and tells them "Be quiet" …. Oy vey….
Imagine the daughter, like her dad was cheating then telling him she hated him for that but then the next few minutes he’s dead..
If I had been on the jury, I would have found her "NOT GUILTY".
She drove over him and then backed up over his head. Justice served.
The husband leaving w his mistress is the moment. I watched it happen with a cheating situation and at the moment the other woman was clearly chosen it was like the gf was COMPLETELY broken. If she had killed him in that moment I would have understood the passion defense
This guy is LITERALLY awful and I don't care about what she did to him
Hahah she got out last year.
Columbian born? That checks out based on the info in the first minute or two lol
I feel bad for the lady. She should not have to be there 20 years. They gave here the harsh sentence. He was a dirt bag. And pretty much was asking for trouble
I don’t condone her but I’m not that mad 🤷♀️

He was our orthodontist. I was shocked when this happened.
So she gets out on less than a year?
Poor lady lost her life for a womanizer, Gail should get punishment for ruining a family 😡
It wasn't a crime of passion
If she was thinking straight she would have got the businesses, children, spousal support (maybe)child support because cheating spouses with proof gives you a good case mostly.
What she did was wrong of course but I know there are so so many people that would have an emotional breakdown too!!!! This is a sad situation all the way around……
This lady is crazy!
