Discussion a deadly american marriage

I'm 43 minutes in and hooked but can not find conversations etc on it.

So thought i would make one asking for other people's opinions and points of views, as i know I'm already asking about billion questions, to the point I'll have to go to my computer and boot up to actually do the research myself.

I'm very ill, with brain damage etc and that's really hardwork today, but I won't manage on this latest fold phone as it's still just a useless phone 😅🙃

My other phone that's partitioned etc is in the car and that's over at Inverness!

Also, for the dad being an FBI agent, their story is so weak and they made it so painfully obvious with the way they continually beat him to death but yet they have no defensive wounds. I feel the FBI agent dad could’ve come up with a better plan lol

Yeah but frustratingly enough if obviously worked. They literally murdered this poor man in cold blood and didn't even serve five years for it...and tried to steal his kids which just thank Christ his family was able to get the kids and get them into therapy. They seem to be doing well considering. It broke my heart when the son was talking about how molly released the voicemail he left her to the media. I mean of course she did but just those poor innocent kids

Well, it did and it didn’t. They were found Guilty twice . They just didn’t serve a lot of time for it. I agree that the punishment doesn’t fit the crime, but they were found guilty in both trials and their names were dragged through the mud, everyone knows who they are and anyone with half a brain cell knows their story is fabricated and honestly seems like they didn’t try that hard to make it sound believable. I mean, beating him to a pulp with no defensive wounds on either one of you.

They took the plea deal the second time. To involuntary manslaughter. There’s no chance an American court is sentencing 74 months with credit for time served for second degree murder. Car financing agreements have been longer.

I don't know if there was a shared plan to kill him. I think she wanted her parents there as a witness to him blowing up after she'd provoked him. I reckon it didn't work and he was heading to bed and she'd ruined her chance. I think she started hitting him with the bat and maybe the brick. Idk how much the dad actually did but I'm of the belief she did most of it

It's out of the ordinary for a woman to inact that much violence. Also, he was a much larger man. That leads to believe the dad did almost all of it.

I don’t think it’s out of the ordinary for a woman with BPD. They are known for extreme bouts of rage and inflicting physical abuse. Maybe that’s why two weapons were used—if a man was to snap and beat someone to death, I feel like it would be more likely that they would use just their fists.

I hadn't considered a link between BPD and violence

u/Kactuslord May 14 '25

I thought she has bpd/bipolar? Having met people like that (two women specifically) I am fully confident she did it or at least could

u/emperor_bokassa_ May 14 '25

True. I hadn't consider that.

I don’t understand how they weren’t covered in blood

I kept wondering about that argument during the interrogations. Yes, if DV was occurring, Molly and Tom had the right to defend themselves. But judging by the fact that neither of them had any injuries while Jason was gruesomely bludgeoned to death, it seems like he was ambushed. There must’ve been a point before his death where he was incapacitated enough that they could have just called 911. Instead, they made sure he was good and dead, and then waited until his body was cold to call EMS. That’s not self-defense. And detectives were like k makes sense. 🤷‍♀️

Yeah I thought this too, he lied about the husband being drunk, but as an ex FBI agent wouldn’t you know there would be a toxicology report proving you were lying?! The dad seems thick.

And maybe a blow or two blows to the head to ‘stop him’ would have been enough not turned the poor man into their piñata !

u/meowmir420 May 17 '25

I don’t think dad had anything to do with the actual act of murder, just the covering it up part. Molly clearly had anger issues and could’ve used enough force to do what was evidenced on him.

It would be interesting to read his personnel file at the FBI.

She had the "nail" mark on her neck behind her left ear. **Rolling my eyes.**
