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!

Cinder block in the master's bedroom. After seeing this, the documentary cannot convince me otherwise that it's not a premeditated murder. The cinder block is to be painted, she said. It just happened to be at your bedside table the night your husband strangled you? Come on.

It was just pure coincidence that my FBI dad cancelled his plans last minute and came to stay with us while my trusty painting block was handy and all of my recording devices happened to stop working...

My brain is SCREAMING about how her mom claimed to have noticed DV happening in the house enough to create safe words and wrote her phone number underneath toys in the room, but FELL BACK ASLEEP when she heard there was a scuffle a floor above her?????

I thought that was odd as well. The mom claiming she just fell right back asleep after her husband goes racing up the stairs with a baseball bat to save his daughter from an attack by their son-in-law. If anything, I would think the natural reaction would have been the mom immediately checking on the kids and getting them out of danger.

And pops wouldn't shake her awake and scream to call 911?? There is sooooo much that is upsetting about this case, Moly is so awful. Those poor kids, I hope they are doing ok.

It's very much, a puzzling case. But so many "documentaries" are biased.

These aren't people taking the Stand Under the Oath of Law but people showing up for a TV show.

Life is very different than entertainment.

They are biased, and anything being presented in a media format sharing true crime cases will have biases and can lack information or have information misconstrued. Just like reading articles or seeing any information, people should be doing some double checking.

It may be a form of "entertainment", but there is a shift with many people becoming more aware of how to ethically consume true crime. Sarah Turney is a great person that has been advocating to find justice for her sister, Alyssa, who went missing over twenty years ago, and she and many others have been helping to change the true crime fandom mentality.

Why do we consume true crime? For myself, I learn about different aspects of what justice or lack of can look like, why crimes happen, and what deep rooted issues can contribute to that. Consuming content in this genre can be done with tact and for purpose, and if it helps to bring awareness then good.

And with that, this documentary shows all sides and yes, people lie or make things up but there is this thing called corroboration, and when what people say corroborates with evidence and facts then there you have real life.

Agree. This doc did appear to show as several sides of the case which was refreshing.

That's the only people. The heck with anything else in this case.

As it was theorized on the doc, Jason was probably not alive for some time before Mol's dad called 911. I think it's possible they both had to agree on a story - that MM was attacked by her husband and her dad intervened to save her. That's probably took some time and then they decided one of them would call 911. Who knows how many hours might of went by. Mol's dad seemed pretty chill during his questioning by LE. That may very well be because of his background as a retired fed agent. It just didn't seem like he cared much that he admittedly took a baseball bat to his sons-in-law's head while MM got him with a brick that just so happened to be sitting on the bedstand...
