FYI - be careful what you write (sensitive)

DramaGeek · December 2010

Sadly, the articles have a lot of wrong information, but I understand what you all are saying. All I'm saying is, be careful cause stuff can come back to haunt you.

(and I've seen the email, it definitely said he was making her feel stabby)

Noted.

Make sure to never threaten to murder husband and then have to clean up his bloody remains later.

I think I can handle that.

I have no idea who's right or wrong in this, but I will add that when my mom died, there was a LOT of incorrect information in the local papers/on local news. So I believe DramaGeek if she says it's not all correct, even if she herself may not have the full story since one side is coming from her friend, who's obviously going to be biased.

I have no illusions that our justice system is perfect.

But you have to admit you have got to wonder why a stabbing victim that was left in a coma for 2 weeks would plea guilty to the crime. If she really was the victim why not go to trial?

I wish I knew exactly what happened. What I do know is that her husband outweighed her by 50+ pounds, that they both had wounds but Mary Jane's were far worse, and that forensics were useless because all the blood had comingled and there was no way of telling who stabbed who first.

From what I've been told (by a mutual friend),she cashed out the retirement because he asked her to. He'd applied for a loan for something but got denied because she wasn't working (she was in nursing school) so he asked her to cash out the retirement so he could use that money instead of a loan. Because it was all he said she said, and because of the email, and because she couldn't really afford a decent defense team, she opted to plead guilty. She was facing 18-20 years if convicted when pleading not guilty, versus the 9 years if she pled guilty. I do know she wishes she'd taken her chances. She said getting out 9-11 years earlier means nothing when she won't be able to get a job or see her kids again (she may be able to see her bio son, that remains to be seen, but doesn't seem to be likely).

Obviously, this is all biased as it comes form Mary Jane's camp. No matter what happened it's a sad situation.

I dont understand one thing: why would he ask her to cash out his life insurance/retirement policy? If he needed the money and it was his policy, then he should have done it, unless she took out the policy in the beginning. Even then, there are ways of cashing out a policy legitimately.

Another thing: if they both had their hands on the knife as alleged, then there would have been alot of superimposed fingerprints on there (one print over another),print smears (indictitive of a struggle) as well as some partials of both of them. If they only found one set of prints, then it is likely only one person had their hands on the knife handle.

This is a sad story nonetheless. The children are the ones that will suffer the most from all of this.

The theory is that he staged the burglary while she was unconscious, including wiping the knife free of prints then wrapping her hand around it. I have no idea how plausible it is, but I do know when the paramedics arrived she was unconscious and had been quite a while.

Like I said, guilty or not, part of the case against her was something she said in passing in 2002. it's amazing how that stuff can get dredged up and come back to haunt you.
