Gotta love the slant this film takes

It's on the wife's side for 80% of the film, until they bury her at the end, making her look like an empty, attention seeking whore. Also nice how they par down the appeals to some white lettering on black, just saying she had her sentenced reduced and will be eligible for release in 2014, without mentioning the fact that it was her husband's ex-fiance's testimony that corroborated everything she had said about how abusive he was, and how controlling and sick their relationship had been. Usually Lifetime gives an unfair slant to the woman's side, but this time they went both barrels in the opposite direction. What is it with women hating on other women anyway?

"Hating on other women"? Do you mean "hating other women". Learn how to speak and type correctly.
Also, I don't "gotta" love anything. I'll love what I will.

I'm terribly sorry it upsets you, but "hating on" has become part of the American vernacular, and is used appropriately in this context. If you find yourself unable to adapt or cope with the changing world around you, let me suggest a career researching the feasibility of time travel, with which you may one day transport yourself back to Victorian England, to spend the rest of your days living amongst proper society.

I agree-and although I feel (like in most of these cases) where maybe murder isn't exactly the way to go, I wanted her to not have a guilty verdict mostly because Lisa Edelstein's character, Kelly Seigler, was such a hateful, condescending shrew...I felt like Jeffrey Wright was never strongly presented by the defense as being so loathsome and violent...I'm not sure if that's how the actual trial played out but this film definitely leaned toward forgetting his violent acts for the last parts of the trial-and she actually seemed a bit "off" in the last scene with the mystery attorney which was never elaborated on...

This is why people like you shouldn't be on juries. It is not your job to judge the prosecutor. Its your job to judge the person on trial. Yes, she was a shrew but the fact that you want a "not guilty" verdict to make her mad is bogus.
