How in the blue hell was that woman acquitted of first degree murder?


I mean she totally did it and she is obviously a slutty, selfish, pig whore of a woman who will rot in hell for what she did to that family. I don't care if she does become a minister, she is an evil woman. People like that tick me off. They think they can have whatever they want and will stop at nothing to get it, no matter what the cost. She does not deserve to live on that beautiful land and she should be sent right to a prison cell, she will feel right at home being the white trailer trash piece of *beep* that she is.( I have nothing against people who live in trailers, my mom used to.) But this woman is white trash who just happened to live in one as well.

i agree with you, but it made one hell of a tv movie watching this women scam her way to the top, using and shaking what her trailer-park mommie gave her...

on a side note, that was one nice piece of land, good shot at the end...adding the text to explain her future while overlooking the property added to the feeling i share with you LuvRSL, that this cold-hearted leech rode off into the sunset, not a care in the world...solid tv movie, but jsut a tv movie...still made me think about things in the wake of the mcnair/gatti/roethisberger situations...

I know this is an old post, but the movie is based on a real case. If you Google Donna and Hamilton Somerville, you'll find interesting articles covering the murder trial and acquittal, and the recent civil case in which the dead man's daughters sued the acquitted woman for wrongful death and won.

I haven't seen the movie, was just looking up this case for my computer-phobic mom, but as you know TV movies are a lot less concerned with reality than with whatever they think will sell, so don't be surprised if you find a lot of inaccuracies.
