I started watching this show about a week and half ago and I got hooked! I've only missed a few episodes during this marathon so far and I hope to catch them. I just wanted to know what people had as their most memorable. I wouldn't want to miss any interesting episodes.
shareOne of the most interesting episodes, in my opinion, is the forensic toxicologist who killed her husband with Clonazepam and Fentanyl.
I love juice. Juice makes me happy
Candidate86, that was Kristin Rossum. I think Ann Rule wrote a book about her crime.
Get me a bromide! And put some gin in it!
One of my favorites had a lady that turned out to be a former man. I can't remember names or anything, but it was a shocker!
shareClara Harris and the one that aired 8/10/08, about Jeanette Sliwinski, the model who tried to commit suicide by piling her Mustang into the back of another vehicle. The three musicians inside were all killed but she survived to be tried for Murder One. And I cannot believe she didn't get the death penalty, mental illness or no mental illness.
shareI remember that one ladya!
There was one on earlier today with a woman dating this psycho guy who told her she was an alien princess..the two then killed the guy's ex wife because she was supposedly a rival alien princess. It was weird.
The one that I always remember most though features a woman (can't recall her name) who killed her mother and taped her body in a garbage can, then kept the body in one of those storage units.
It's always interesting to watch. I'm really interested in crime and law, and I'm sometimes astounded by the verdicts (I usually come up with them being guilty, I think I only thought one of them might actually be innocent)
See, I'm not a monster...I'm just ahead of the curve.
Bryy=Fee
The Joker <3
GBEG rocks
SHEBAM
I just caught this episode on Tivo. Brookey Lee West is the lady who dumped her mom in the garbage can for three years.
shareThere are 2 for me..
the deaf lesbian ax murderer
the lady that had her boyfriend living in the closet..yikes
It costs alot of money to look this cheap...Dolly Parton
Everyone deserves a chance to fly
Dixie Shanahan
I can't believe she killed him, left him lying in bed, moved in her boyfriend, and put an air freshener at the bottom of the bedroom door to cover up the smell of a rotting corpse.

I've seen most of what the other posters have mentioned, but I don't remember the episodes you brought up. I guess I haven't seen them yet. After some thought I think the most memorable episode imo was the one with Sheila Davalloo. For some reason I can't seem to get that one out of my mind. I guess it's because this all took place in New York and I deal with New York women on a regular basis. This show has gotten to me. I now think twice about saying no to women.

The Nikki Redmon episode. I think it's cuz it's the first one I saw.
...
Oh! and the one where the woman went in her basement and shot and killed her cheating husband because she thought he was an "intruder"... turned out she shot and killed her first husband 20 years earlier under the same circumstances... and she got away with both. her name was Terri something.
and the Dora Cisneros one. cus she was really weird and I have had women call me where i work who share the same name as her.
"take your ranks"
I'm surprised I left out the Nikki Redmon episode. I can't seem to find it now, but after watching it I decided to google her name and found what appeared to be her myspace page. It looked as if she was promoting some of her music.
shareFor me it was the woman who went to jail for 2/3 years and then was found out to be innocent because the samples they had earlier tested was contaminated. Just because it was the only one that I have seen where the woman didn't do it, not just didn't get jail time for it. I think what made it stick was that she just wanted an apology for ruining her life... I can believe they didn't even say sorry for not checking the evidence.

I am sooooo hooked on this show! I just recently discovered it. The one that sticks out to me was the one about Monique Johnson....The corrections officer who killed her police officer boyfriend then had her 16 yr old son to help her hide him in the trunk of his Lexus. She got a 4 yr suspended sentence, but violated her parole and had to go back to jail. I stuck out to me because I've had a boyfriend cheat on me mercilessly and you think that would be the ultimate payback, but in the end it's just not worth it.
shareOh yes, Monique Johnson is one of my favorites...the one about Nikki Redmond was interesting too.
I Love....ME!!!!
It's been awhile since I watched this but one episode that stood out to me was about the woman who had her daughter's ex boyfriend killed because he broke up with her. I don't remember her name, though.
Another one I can think of is the woman who killed her husband who was an attorney and also into horse racing and it also turned out that she had been on the run for years stealing idenitities. I saw a tv movie based on the story a couple of weeks after I saw the episode, I don't remember the name of it but the lady who played Kimber on Nip/Tuck and that blonde girl, Hayden something, from Heroes was in it.
Celebrities aren't god so let's stop worshipping them!

Do you think it is an "ultimate payback" for a man to kill his cheating wife/girlfriend as well? And do you think he should get a pathetically short suspended sentence as well?
Forget being tried as a juvenile; the real jackpot in the US criminal injustice system is to be tried as a woman.
does this show bother you that much? Anyone who feels like they've been wronged would think that it would be the "ultimate payback" but like I said, "It's just not worth it." No one should be able to take you out of your element to the point where you would want to take their life regardless of the gender.
shareThe point is men who do that get life in prison or the death penalty. If women do that they often get a slap on the wrist or nothing at all.
And of course, there is no show on Spike that glorifies men who murder their wives/girlfriends...
Cindy Sommer went to jail for 2/3 years and later found innocent due to incorrect testing by the NCIS in San Diego. The thing that the DA did not like was the wifes' actions right after her husband died ie: Breast Augmentation, Sleeping around with several other Marines, Throwing wild parties. etc.
Apparently this vile, disgusting bitch is dating some idiot with a death wish (she murdered once, she can just as easily murder again).
She should have been Big Bertha's bitch for the rest of her pathetic life instead.
what's the one where the husband was abusive and raping her daughter and so she shot him in the head? she admitted it in the end
just sayin.

I am watching this and two episodes stand out to me. One made me very angry. It surrounded a woman who dated this guy but they broke up. The guy had been dating another girl the whole time though and eventually became engaged to her. The ex killed his fiance. It was very sad to me because the fiance seemed like such a bright young woman. She had no idea about the other woman or anything. She was basically just killed.
The other one was about a girl who cut off her father's penis. He had sexually abused her and her sister, and this girl could not handle it and it severely impacted her life. Her name was Brigitte something. It was just a very moving episode.
Mary Winkler, the preacher's wife who got away with it. Some very high-powered, expensive private defense attorneys defended her for free. The guy was a total SOB who would hold his infant daughter's nose shut when her crying annoyed him. He was a sexual and psychological abuser who relied on his wife to protect his filthy secrets so he could have a fine reputation as a sterling Christian in front of his flock.
There's a lot of controversy about the verdict, but I'm cool with it.
Another case I never tire of is Margaret Rudin, a gal who always made it on her looks. She managed to marry her fifth husband when she was in her mid to late 40s I guess, and she offed him so she could have all his money and a fun life. It really gets me -- he had bought her an antique shop and she had things to do and a beautiful home and all the nice things she wanted, but no! She wanted a wad of cash and another loser boyfriend. She went on the run and wound up living in some lousy apartment under an assumed name and having a very grungy lifestyle just to stay alive. Cops caught her by pretending to deliver a pizza.
In her trial, she'd gaze at the camera (she knew exactly where it was!) all forlorn, like "Help me, I'm innocent!"
