Here is my thought: A verdict can be wrong. I think her lawyers are responsible for this. She said it's the legal advice she received to not talk/testify. Also, her no-stand-up when the jury entered into the court room seems also from her legal counsel. In case like this, today is the last chance for her to make her voice to be heard. I think the judge got it too. That's why he rendered the sentence with a possibility of parole, IMO. She does have personal interests on Gary's death but if the prosecutors grasped it as the solid evidence to make their case, chances are, they missed the truth of the case. In case like this, it remind me of "Murder on the Orient Express"... She begged the court to find the justice to Gary and to her family. She shed lights on some critical pieces to the truth of the case, IMO. Also, I see how powerful a propaganda/info-war can brain-wash people on the social media... ...
She’s pathetic. Throwing her. own son under the bus. She wouldn’t have gotten all the money if she divorced him so she had to kill him. Scott was living there rent free with handouts. He had no motive to kill his dad but she had every motive.
@@nca9364 no lawyer would ever tell you to testify. Let's look at who does...Murdaugh, Boone, only stubborn lunatics. I wouldn't testify if I was innocent.
She foolishly trusted in a judicial system which failed to do a proper and thorough job in its investigation . Her lawyers should have entered a lot more into evidence regarding Scott & the way he manipulated the story from the get go . Shame on the County for taking his word and failing to do proper , objective detailed analysis from the very beginning . Because of her adultery she has been branded and tarnished as a scarlet woman for everything that transpired and it simply proves how Scott used this tactic to steer the law enforcement officers
This woman is diabolical. She told her boyfriend that “Gary’s on the burn pile” the night it happened and he said “don’t say another word”. An innocent person does not say that. Wow. Just wow.
To even be able to say those words about someone you claim to love. Shows she did it just in itself. I couldn't imagine even uttering the words "my husband's on the burn pile"
@@taramay8174she could’ve taken him in the tractor. Hell she could’ve rolled him down the hill. The burn pile was not that far from the home and it was a downward slope. There’s a video of the property on TH-cam.
@taramay8174 she said in one of the jail recorded calls to Rusty that the inside house has no evidence, which likely true since it seemed premeditated--waiting for 4th of July fireworks.. Also I think it's easy for her to scare Gary with a random shot in the basement (note: there's a basement door at the same level as the backyard) then instructed him to go outside to the pile and shot the 2nd round outside closer to the burning pile.. (but on her defense, she said in the initial interview how she was traumatized with fire.. so it could be she was just so upset that Gary decided to burn that pile anyway and ignored her concerns).. she knows..
@@curiouscat2379 if you think your child murdered someone you are in shock and you don’t know what to do. You need time to think wrap your head around it. No mother wants to throw their child under the bus unless they’re absolutely certain.
Exactly. Neither Melody or Rusty were panicked when she said "he is in the burn pile" No one rendered aid to help Gary. Pathetic liar she is. Scott had nothing to do with any of it.
@ how do you render aid when they are a crispy critter fried beyond recognition? How are you going to aid this person? What would you do if if you believe beyond a doubt, without seeing it with your own eyes that your child killed someone? I was going to shock and call someone I trusted. I would not call the police. Sorry, but that’s the truth.
@@TG-zd2se Even if Melody did not have anything to do with it and I believe she did, not rendering aid, not calling the police, not calling fire department and calling Rusty and Rusty not shocked or rendering aid is a crime. We all know Gary was beyond CPR but you cannot hide a crime because you don't want to report it. If Melody was so sure Scott did it, she would have called 911 and had him questioned on the spot. The child didn't kill Gary, Melody did and that is why she didn't call 911. She waited for the grandkids and kids to come over to help discover it because if she would have found it by herself the next day she would have been prime suspect. She set it all up. If I found anyone, stranger or family burning I would call 911 which is what Scott did when he found it the next day after he found the bullet. You are just like Ted Bundy's mom who called her son a sweet boy on the stand after he brutally killed women across the U.S. in the 70's. The Dahmer's ignored prime symptoms. Child or not, parent or not, you are supposed to report the crime.
@@TG-zd2se Not talking physically but if she thought Scott did it why didn't she call police that evening? She would have heard the tractor start up, she would have heard the gun shots in the house afterall she was the only one home. She did it and neither she nor Rusty were shocked that "he was in the burn pile" neither called police to check it out. No one could have saved him but Melody wanted the grandkids over to help her discover Gary's body in the burn pile the next day. She forgot about the bullet in his rib which she probably grazed in the house and then she forced him to the pile at gunpoint, shot him there and rolled him in.
@@janisharris2754I beg your pardon, Scott took care of a 10 acres of property along with the animals. That is ALOT of work. Melody was off with lovers and His Dad was a hard working Attorney. Melody played disappearing acts with her lover. Scott loved those animals and took Great care of them.
Maybe he allowed her to give this statement because he knew it only made her look worse. They deserve to know how devious and evil she can be, down to the very bitter end of this trial.
Yeah it was pretty bad. He should have at least admonished her. The court has found her guilty already.. to let her sit there and blame one of the victims sons was just awful
@ThePolypam It was her constitutional right to a fair trial (she had one), she chose not to testify @ the appropriate time. She is not entitled to rant nonsense at sentencing
@@ThePolypam she is entitled to speak, not testify, or to re-litigate the facts of the case without cross examination and evidence. The judge stated that it was improper multiple times. If she wanted this in the record, she had the constitutional right to testify.
@josephinelovsin4961 If her lawyer saw validity in her accusations they would have brought them up in the trial. She set him up for it, and was collecting details to build a case against him, but none of these details were worth taking to trial.
She had the audacity to bring lover to Emily's wedding. She flaunted an affair infront of Gary her husband at their daughters wedding. She hated Gary and everyone knew that.
Narcissistic mothers always pick a scape goat in the family; Melody picked Scott. Narcissistic mothers also pick a child as close to their own personality- she picked her youngest daughter that was the only one of her four children that supporter her mother. I hope Scott gets counseling for his betrayed his mother pulled in court today. No wonder they call her Melody not mom.
✋Wait. Big big difference here. Narcissist she is not. "Judge, help me get justice for Gary and my children". What is missing here?? She's NOT going to ask for justice for anyone but herself! She is NOT going to let her attorney stop her from speaking at her trial. She was a wonderful grandmother and did do for her kids. No comparison to Suitcase Sarah or Lori or the Internet moms. I am very curious about how the investigation was conducted. Not conspiratorial, but if it seems cut and dry, often things don't get done. Yes, innocent people get life. They ran out of luminol so they didn't look at the barn?? Please.
For the people who say Scott looked guilty and she sounded sincere, there's no way you watched the court case. She was cold, calculated, selfish and a cheater. She shed not one tear during trial for the murder of her husband. NONE of this came up in the trial. I find that quite ironic that she has this story. She sat in that prison cell and created this whole elaborated story. Its scary how EVIL and COLD this woman is. She lied on her children and killed her loving husband for insurance money and thought she was gonna run off in the sunset with her lover. Trust me the jury got it right.
I watched the trial and was sickened by the testimony of these “kids” of how entitled and greedy they all seemed and never thought they would find her guilty. Incredulous that anything in your life can be held against you! Cops have a narrative that gets them an easy conviction and force the facts to fit that narrative! They take snippets of information and strewn them together as one narrative out of context, they will purposely leave out pertinent information if it would shed doubt or point at someone else. Cops and DA are incentivized to find a guilty verdict regardless of if they are the right person! Sickening
JESUS, MARY & JOSEPH! This defendant is a monster! She was stole $50k from the house’s equity when she left her husband for another man; she had numerous affairs throughout her marriage; she was petulantly jealous of her own children and appears to have no love for them at all, she had the audacity to invite her lover to her daughter’s wedding and then dance with him in front of her family; she repeatedly said hate-filled comments about her husband including wishing he was dead; she was consumed by greed & obsessed with money despite having a beautiful home, nice car, and allowed to have anything she wanted; she repeatedly lied to police; and she never showed an ounce of sadness, horror, or grief over the brutal murder of a husband she supposedly loved! How can anyone believe she’s innocent?!? She never cried throughout this trial until it came to saving herself. She is a textbook example of a narcissist! My heart breaks for those poor children & grandchildren!
I can't understand the comments on this thread insisting she's innocent. This is extremely difficult to listen to this manipulative person attempting to destroy her children on the way down. And I'm sorry, I cannot buy the "patriarchy hates women" argument.
Well aside from this case the fact that somebody who might be perplexed by the complexity of the situation doesnt take the stand to defend herself or himself especially when there's possibility that he or she is not 100% innocent doesn't surprise me at all.
This is an opinion, and it’s an inaccurate one. Not everything is admissible in court and you can only discuss evidence that was entered as evidence (note that leaves evidence NOT entered as off limits to discuss in front of the JURY). Being subject to cross examination, INNOCENT or guilty, is not an open discussion. Many innocent people choose not to take the stand in their own defense because they are counseled NOT TO due to a large variety of legal reasons it appears the dense TH-cam audience doesn’t understand.
She was probably advised to not take the stand since most of this stuff would not have been admissible. The state clearly decided she wasn't allowed to just come out and say this ..they make these types of decisions before the trial and it would have been damning to their case therefore they would have definitely made it so they so she could not say this stuff. If you know the system (and the prosecutor certainly does) then there's almost no reason to not get your conviction since you can have whole sides of the story omitted.
@ampmf13 exactly. The ignorance of trial law and general trial procedure shown in these comments is truly staggering. It’s why the “court of public opinion” can’t be trusted. In general, people are pretty basic and not very smart.
Not to sound rude or blunt; But sincerely why do you believe her, I will not bash you or humiliate you for any reasons/amswers stated. God Bless you, dear.
I don't think she "used him used him as a scapegoat" because of his PTSD. That doesn't even make sense? Maybe she actually thinks he did it. Maybe he actually did do it? The truth is nobody actually knows what happened except for Gary and the person who did it. The state didn't even put forward a reasonable hypothesis about how it happened. How can anybody know for sure? And Scott isn't an angel. He stole money from the family, drove drunk with the kids, chased an older man who he didn't even know in a car to threaten him, pawned his kids off on Melody, and was cruel to Melody for years. Everyone in the family has been demonizing Melody for having affairs, but I haven't heard one peep about Gary's affairs from anyone. It's a total double standard. And everybody agrees Melody was a wonderful grandmother. So don't pretend like this is super clear-cut because it really isn't.
@@murderwiththecourt7834 he looked really really uncomfortable and let's face it, guilty when she started talking, and I think the judge saw it. He also got a lot of "looks" from several people that weren't really comforting. I said really way too many times 😁🤦♀️
@@Redwarfa I am a mother. I adore my children. If one of them hurts, I hurt. I cannot imagine inflicting this kind of pain on my child. Look at his face. He is in disbelief.
Why was she allowed to even get that far with that statement in the court? The judge should have cut that off immediately when she started accusing her own son. He’s not on trial here, she is.
I do not like this judge. He is the least professional judge I have ever encountered during a trial. He should have NEVER allowed her to go on and on and on and on and on. She’s trying to try the case again !!! AMAZING !!! Let her go on and on and on and on and on and on. She did the very same thing with the investigators. Never ending ridiculous rhetoric. It’s always about Melody. WO is me 🙄 Gary is the victim Melody , not you. I wouldn’t leave a snake in the care of this woman.
@@raggedyann4372 No she’s not innocent. Guilty as sin. Unfortunately her past precedes her. She has been able to talk herself out of everything before. Didn’t work this time. Thank God. Overwhelming evidence against her. If she had something to say she should have testified. The judge is required to listen to her. If he doesn’t she might be able to win an appeal if he shows favoritism one way or the other.
@@raggedyann4372 BTW… Didn’t you see the part of the trial when Scott was completely ruled out ? I watched the entire trial and everyone she tried to throw under the bus was ruled out ! She even threw Emily’s husband under the bus and he was in Tennessee !! This is called desperation She has always gotten her way This is how narcissistic people act. It’s everyone’s fault but hers. Crocodile tears and whining don’t work when you have been found guilty of malice murder and felony murder in a court of law.
Or, perhaps she has spent the last several years of her life trying to piece together what happened to Gary. She constantly said on the recordings she believed Scott did this. Maybe she never professed it publicly because she needed to be certain before she did so. And now, she is certain. What if he did do this? Should she just alturisticly take the sword for her son? Does she not have the right to profess her innocence? I'd say, of course, she does. I believe her. I believed she was innocent before her speech at her sentencing hearing. I was shocked she was convicted. I didn't believe the prosecution even proved a murder occurred, let alone Melody was responsible. There is certainly more evidence that points to Scott. Is it possible this was scarlet letter justice? Martha's testimony lends credence to this thesis.
OJ, Jodi Arias, Scott Peterson, and countless others claimed they were all searching for the "real killers". Give me a break. Melody led Gary to the burn pit at gunpoint. Shot him in the head and rolled him into the pile. She used the tractor to drive their massive property to bury the gun, tried to clean up the blood, showered in Scott's shower and then used Gary's credit card which Scott said she wasn't allowed to use to buy stuff at Walmart and re-load her disposable phone so she could call Rusty.
@@ScottM94the trial is over and done with. This is post-trial, pre-sentence, she's supposed to apologize. He could sue her, but what's the point? She'll die in prison.
@@tmholtry this is obviously part of the trial. It is the sentencing phase of the trial. It is not defamation of character to have a theory and espouse on it during a trial. A defamation of character suit would go nowhere.
The judge should have shut her down immediately. He let her spew lies for a few more minutes causing immense pain to the already struggling family. She had her chance to testify during trial. Her saying she was following the advice of counsel is an excuse. I expect to see an appeal based on insufficient counsel in the near future. She set her self up for several different possibilities didn't she? She knew was she was doing.
Former public defender here, married to a current public defender: Just an FYI... its insanely and disgustingly common for clients to immediately turn and blame everything on their own counsel immediately after trial. No matter how great the attorney was or wasnt. No matter how much evidence was or was not stacked against them. No matter how difficult the client was or wasnt to manage. It is a thankless job that simply comes with having to regularly respond to this type of thing. It just typically comes in the appellate petitions and post conviction petitions and not in the defendants statement at sentencing. This is why criminal defense attorneys have to pay the most for malpractice insurance.
I'm a legal practioner from a different country and you hit the nail squarely on its head. I have such sympathy for the defense team and the family members she tried to destroy. This affects reputation and careers when it comes to attorneys vehemently defending her, who is good enough during a trial when she has simply nothing to say, and now being portrayed as some of her scapegoats for her "innocence". Too little too late.
Watching this case from Australia and am flabbergasted at the defendants conduct; if the defendant was that convinced someone else was the killer then she should have testified during the trial phase (but that would have opened her up to cross examination...😒). Put up or shut up.
Absolutely gross. She did it. I also am very upset with the Judge about how he handled this. Anyway, nonetheless she’s right where she needs to be for the rest of her life.
I remember Samantha Josephsons trial her murderer’s mother tried to say he didn’t do it he was innocent Judge Clifton Newman shut her down and shut her up real fast he said no no your son was already CONVICTED by the JURY he is guilty and this judge should have done the same! This was so disgusting and disturbing
She did plenty of talking when Gary was found and in interviews afterward. She could have said all this at the time when it could have been investigated. This was not the time and was so wrong. She is just plain evil.
@@BehindtheHeadlineTrueCrime Love is not what they had. She used him for money just like the rest of the family She wished him dead many times. Narcissists don't have the capacity to love. Get real. Love isn't having multiple affairs throughout your marriage and taking out a $60K home equity line without talking about it with your spouse. Then loaning some of that money to one of the guys she was having an affair with to help him make payroll.
Those phone calls to Rusty.. seal the deal. He is in the burn pile and the body wasn’t supposed to burn that much.. Scott was cleared. She clearly hates Scott and is her scapegoat, must be the black sheep out of all her kids!
My Dude: Scott WAS NOT “Cleared.” I watched EVERY MINUTE OF THE TRIAL. The cops DID NOT search The Barn AT ALL!!! They said it Over & Over & Over at Trial. Scott lived ABOVE The Barn, yet The Barn WAS NOT Searched. Scott was absolutely positively NOT “CLEARED.”
@@wildmercuryfilmsI watched every day, she's guilty but she don't like prison, she wanted Gary his money and live again as a rich woman with lovers. But game over!!!
@@MRuiz-th8jx , I didn’t think there was anything important in those calls. She never implied she did it. She may have known something and didn’t come forward.
Me too!! What is happening? I can’t believe the judge allow her to blame her son and drag him the entire time. She’s been found guilty. Totally inappropriate.
If you drank as many Mountain Dew a day as he did, I’m surprised the guy was even alive. he was cheating on her. Every chance he got she knew nothing about the finances. He let those boys treat her like dirt. They were stealing from him and wouldn’t work. Lazy.
@@warrenweapon she’s that, but I think she’s innocent of this crime. She’s going to prison for life for. adj a jury should not convict someone because they don’t like them. They should stay focused on the fact, and the fact is the prosecution did not prove this case.
@@ampmf13 Even if she is, she gets absolutely no sympathy because that means that she knew and said nothing to save her herself or she knowingly accepted responsibility for it so why be mad about it now? I actually believe that she and her son were involved, but she didn't think she would be found guilty. Still evil.
Melody really thinks too highly of herself. She doesn’t want to go to jail, and her rhetoric reveals the evil in her heart. How could she speak such cruel words about her own son? There’s no trace of maternal love in her whatsoever

@@myrathompson9645 I’m sure she said that to Rusty because Scott put him there! Remember her watching Scott go to the burn pile? She saw Scott at the burn pile several times and Gary wasn’t around so she figured it out!

She didnt testify cuz shes a liar, and she didnt want to be cross examined. She likely knew that she would be ripped apart on the stand by the D.A. This way she can say whatever she wants and not have to be challenged on it.
Omg she shouldn't ever get paroled. Not only that if Scott was guilty which i don't believe he is i dont belive he would have taken the stand nor would he be in that court room. And your right no emotion right through the whole of this trial. Why didnt she bring all this up when she was first interviewed by the police. 😡😡 shes nothing but a monster.
Just when you think Melody couldn’t possibly be more of a liar, adulteress ,horrible mother and much more she blames her son again!! I pray for Gary’s children,grandchildren. Melody has tried to ruin their lives,be strong,do it in peace for your Dad…
She lied about everything in her life and refused to take the stand where her lawyers could have asked her questions. She just didn't want to answer to Gary's lawyers as they would have torn her to shreds.
She is such a disgusting POS of a "Mother"! Horrible, horrible excuse for a human being! Us real Mothers would do anything ANYTHING To protect our children. She's no mother. I can't imagine what Scott is going through listening to this..
Gary had multiple affairs, too. So tired of this double standard. And you don't know she lied. It's really hard to say who's telling the truth. But if she is telling the truth, then Scott is the one who ruined everyone's lives.

Why do they keep showing Chris. That’s why people are getting mixed up she’s talking about Scott but the camera is constantly going to Chris??!!WHY cameraman get your people straight
She is disliked by everyone who watched the trial because she cheated on her husband, but don’t forget her husband cheated on her as well. She was treated like dirt, her children and her husband allowed that to happen. This woman is innocent.
I can't believe the prosecutors and the judge let her say all those things about her son. The judge gave her a soft admonishment but when she continued where she left off, he let her go on. There are people who might always wonder about the son because they let her go on like this. It was so unfair and my heart goes out to the son who lost his father, his home and had his life turned upside down, now have to sit quietly in court as his mother attempts to defame his good name. Why didn't anyone stop that?!
WHY feel sorry for him? He's a waste of a human that parasitizes everyone around him.doesn't seem to care He's getting blamed. Killing his dad may be the only thing He ever put effort into in his life, and I'm sure it was impulsive. He's probably running great interview lines in his head right now.
If she wanted to say something, she should have taken the stand. Don't blame your lawyers for your choices. A lawyer only advises their client not to take the stand if they know their client wont be able to answer the questions without looking guilty, but at the end of the day it's the client's decision. This woman would throw anyone under the bus to cover her ass. She referred to Gary as that body, and now he's her loving husband and Big Daddy? Melody told her lover Rusty before anyone else noticed Gary missing that he was on the burn pile. How would she know that at 2:30 am on the 3rd of July unless she murdered him? She hated her husband but loved his money and wanted all of it with her lover Rusty. She used and humiliated Gary in life and degraded him in death. My condolences to Gary's children, grandchildren, family, and friends.
The judge is unprofessional and has not sentenced her according to the findings of the jury! He should have stopped her mud slinging and only did when the state sad something! What an evil woman, still trying to blame her son, and what a joke saying her husband was taken away from her, while sleeping with Rusty! She should have gotten life without the possibility of parole! Guilty as sin!
I've seen trials where the guilty party is interrupted by the judge and reminded to only speak to the judge and nobody else in the courtroom. Scott is a victim in this case. It was crazy that he allowed Melody to re- victimize the victims.
It’s inappropriate for her to be allowed to sling mud after she has been found guilty. I can’t believe the judge allowed it to go in like he did. Comparing her son to the Apache school shooter? She is deranged.
Why? She said it's the legal advice she received to not talk/testify. Also, her no-stand-up when the jury entered into the court room seems also from her legal counsel. In case like this, today is the last chance for her to make her voice to be heard. I think the judge got it too. That's why he rendered the sentence with a possibility of parole, IMO. She does have personal interests on Gary's death but if the prosecutors grasped it as the solid evidence to make their case, chances are, they missed the truth of the case. In case like this, it remind me of "Murder on the Orient Express"... She begged the court to find the justice to Gary and to her family. She shed lights on some critical pieces to the truth of the case, IMO.
“I have waited for years to make this statement to everyone.” You had your chance during TRIAL. YOU chose NOT to testify. Your lawyer works for YOU. EVIL! 😡
7 of 10 Murder Trials end in CONVICTION. Meaning: A DEFENDANT DOESN’T HAVE MUCH TO LOSE FROM TESTIFYING. Yet: Lawyers ALWAYS TELL THEIR CLIENTS NOT TO TESTIFY. And the jury ALWAYS SAYS: If I were Not Guilty, I would TESTIFY. LAWYERS SHOULD STOP TELLING CLIENTS NOT TO TESTIFY!!!! It hurts their chances. Many jurors ASSUME GUILT if they don’t testify.
Yeah, but you know lawyers can be incredibly persuasive. And they typically do their best to persuade their clients not to take the stand. It's plausible.
I think her lawyers are responsible for this. She said it's the legal advice she received to not talk/testify.

No kidding. I can't believe those who think she was innocent are not looking at the facts. She hated him, and only stayed for the money while she carried on with her boyfriends.
"This needs to be known, judge." But she had her chance during the trial to testify and she didn't take the stand. Unhinged to blame her son again in this final stage. Imagine having a mother like this.

If you (god, or whomever you choose, forbid) were told by your attorneys not to testify, knowing full well you didn’t commit this crime, you’d take the stand and tell your attorneys that it’s your life, not theirs. Innocent people don’t just sit back and allow attorneys to dictate their fate.
Listening to boone was horrible lol but from a psychological perspective, it was gold, so on brand and text book. It was every bit of the insanity we expected it to be

I don't think the truth of the case has been brought to the court. She said it's the legal advice she received to not talk/testify. Also, her no-stand-up when the jury entered into the court room seems also from her legal counsel. In case like this, today is the last chance for her to make her voice to be heard. I think the judge got it too. That's why he rendered the sentence with a possibility of parole, IMO. She does have personal interests on Gary's death but if the prosecutors grasped it as the solid evidence to make their case, chances are, they missed the truth of the case. In case like this, it remind me of "Murder on the Orient Express"... She begged the court to find the justice to Gary and to her family. She shed lights on some critical pieces to the truth of the case, IMO.

@@nca9364 no lawyer would ever tell you to testify. Let's look at who does...Murdaugh, Boone, only stubborn lunatics. I wouldn't testify if I was innocent.
She should have testified on the stand if she felt this strongly about her case
She foolishly trusted in a judicial system which failed to do a proper and thorough job in its investigation . Her lawyers should have entered a lot more into evidence regarding Scott & the way he manipulated the story from the get go . Shame on the County for taking his word and failing to do proper , objective detailed analysis from the very beginning . Because of her adultery she has been branded and tarnished as a scarlet woman for everything that transpired and it simply proves how Scott used this tactic to steer the law enforcement officers

Her lawyers said not to so she took poor advice
Maybe but people tend to listen to their attorneys when they strongly encourage them not to take the stand.
@@taramay8174 All her life she did as she pleased so we’re to believe she listened to her lawyers.
This woman is diabolical. She told her boyfriend that “Gary’s on the burn pile” the night it happened and he said “don’t say another word”. An innocent person does not say that. Wow. Just wow.
Who took him physically to the burn pile ?
Probably another one of her lovers.
To even be able to say those words about someone you claim to love. Shows she did it just in itself. I couldn't imagine even uttering the words "my husband's on the burn pile"
@@taramay8174she could’ve taken him in the tractor. Hell she could’ve rolled him down the hill. The burn pile was not that far from the home and it was a downward slope. There’s a video of the property on TH-cam.
@taramay8174 she said in one of the jail recorded calls to Rusty that the inside house has no evidence, which likely true since it seemed premeditated--waiting for 4th of July fireworks.. Also I think it's easy for her to scare Gary with a random shot in the basement (note: there's a basement door at the same level as the backyard) then instructed him to go outside to the pile and shot the 2nd round outside closer to the burning pile.. (but on her defense, she said in the initial interview how she was traumatized with fire.. so it could be she was just so upset that Gary decided to burn that pile anyway and ignored her concerns).. she knows..
If Scott did it, why didn’t she call 911, instead of calling Rusty?
@@curiouscat2379 if you think your child murdered someone you are in shock and you don’t know what to do. You need time to think wrap your head around it. No mother wants to throw their child under the bus unless they’re absolutely certain.
Exactly. Neither Melody or Rusty were panicked when she said "he is in the burn pile" No one rendered aid to help Gary. Pathetic liar she is. Scott had nothing to do with any of it.
@ how do you render aid when they are a crispy critter fried beyond recognition? How are you going to aid this person? What would you do if if you believe beyond a doubt, without seeing it with your own eyes that your child killed someone? I was going to shock and call someone I trusted. I would not call the police. Sorry, but that’s the truth.
@@TG-zd2se Even if Melody did not have anything to do with it and I believe she did, not rendering aid, not calling the police, not calling fire department and calling Rusty and Rusty not shocked or rendering aid is a crime. We all know Gary was beyond CPR but you cannot hide a crime because you don't want to report it. If Melody was so sure Scott did it, she would have called 911 and had him questioned on the spot. The child didn't kill Gary, Melody did and that is why she didn't call 911. She waited for the grandkids and kids to come over to help discover it because if she would have found it by herself the next day she would have been prime suspect. She set it all up. If I found anyone, stranger or family burning I would call 911 which is what Scott did when he found it the next day after he found the bullet. You are just like Ted Bundy's mom who called her son a sweet boy on the stand after he brutally killed women across the U.S. in the 70's. The Dahmer's ignored prime symptoms. Child or not, parent or not, you are supposed to report the crime.
@@TG-zd2se Not talking physically but if she thought Scott did it why didn't she call police that evening? She would have heard the tractor start up, she would have heard the gun shots in the house afterall she was the only one home. She did it and neither she nor Rusty were shocked that "he was in the burn pile" neither called police to check it out. No one could have saved him but Melody wanted the grandkids over to help her discover Gary's body in the burn pile the next day. She forgot about the bullet in his rib which she probably grazed in the house and then she forced him to the pile at gunpoint, shot him there and rolled him in.

She sat in that prison cell and created this whole elaborated story. Its scary how EVIL and COLD this woman is. She lied on her children and killed her loving husband for insurance money and thought she was gonna run off in the sunset with her lover. Trust me the jury got it right.

I watched the trial and was sickened by the testimony of these “kids” of how entitled and greedy they all seemed and never thought they would find her guilty. Incredulous that anything in your life can be held against you! Cops have a narrative that gets them an easy conviction and force the facts to fit that narrative! They take snippets of information and strewn them together as one narrative out of context, they will purposely leave out pertinent information if it would shed doubt or point at someone else. Cops and DA are incentivized to find a guilty verdict regardless of if they are the right person! Sickening
Scott hated working for money so killing his dad was his solution. Scott is spoiled to the bone. What a show he puts on as if he's surprised. 😏
It shocks me that anyone thinks she is innocent! Sick woman! So glad she was found guilty

100%
This is an opinion, and it’s an inaccurate one. Not everything is admissible in court and you can only discuss evidence that was entered as evidence (note that leaves evidence NOT entered as off limits to discuss in front of the JURY). Being subject to cross examination, INNOCENT or guilty, is not an open discussion. Many innocent people choose not to take the stand in their own defense because they are counseled NOT TO due to a large variety of legal reasons it appears the dense TH-cam audience doesn’t understand.
She was probably advised to not take the stand since most of this stuff would not have been admissible. The state clearly decided she wasn't allowed to just come out and say this ..they make these types of decisions before the trial and it would have been damning to their case therefore they would have definitely made it so they so she could not say this stuff. If you know the system (and the prosecutor certainly does) then there's almost no reason to not get your conviction since you can have whole sides of the story omitted.

The truth is nobody actually knows what happened except for Gary and the person who did it. The state didn't even put forward a reasonable hypothesis about how it happened. How can anybody know for sure? And Scott isn't an angel. He stole money from the family, drove drunk with the kids, chased an older man who he didn't even know in a car to threaten him, pawned his kids off on Melody, and was cruel to Melody for years. Everyone in the family has been demonizing Melody for having affairs, but I haven't heard one peep about Gary's affairs from anyone. It's a total double standard. And everybody agrees Melody was a wonderful grandmother. So don't pretend like this is super clear-cut because it really isn't.

She never begged investigators to look for the "right killer".
Or, perhaps she has spent the last several years of her life trying to piece together what happened to Gary.
She constantly said on the recordings she believed Scott did this. Maybe she never professed it publicly because she needed to be certain before she did so. And now, she is certain.
What if he did do this? Should she just alturisticly take the sword for her son? Does she not have the right to profess her innocence? I'd say, of course, she does.
I believe her. I believed she was innocent before her speech at her sentencing hearing. I was shocked she was convicted. I didn't believe the prosecution even proved a murder occurred, let alone Melody was responsible. There is certainly more evidence that points to Scott.
Is it possible this was scarlet letter justice? Martha's testimony lends credence to this thesis.

The truth must be hard of people
Former public defender here, married to a current public defender: Just an FYI... its insanely and disgustingly common for clients to immediately turn and blame everything on their own counsel immediately after trial. No matter how great the attorney was or wasnt. No matter how much evidence was or was not stacked against them. No matter how difficult the client was or wasnt to manage. It is a thankless job that simply comes with having to regularly respond to this type of thing. It just typically comes in the appellate petitions and post conviction petitions and not in the defendants statement at sentencing. This is why criminal defense attorneys have to pay the most for malpractice insurance.

I'm a legal practioner from a different country and you hit the nail squarely on its head. I have such sympathy for the defense team and the family members she tried to destroy.

I think she is not guilty
She's spinning a conspiracy theory.
Notice the constant use of “I”
“Me” and “My” while throwing everybody else under the bus. What a terrible mom and frankly human being.
Wow,this lady has no conscience and no shame.
both her sons, and Garys family watched in unbelief at her statements..she loves no one but herself..they had video, of him not being home, and at the lake with friends..she is sooo evil..she too easily turns her emotions on and off..this household must have been a total nightmare to live

WHY DIDNT THEY ARREST THE SON IN COURT ???
@@kellycuckoo3143😂
If she waited for years, why didn’t she testify when had the chance? The woman is a psychopath!
She said, in her monologue, that she didn’t testify due to being advised not to.
Advised not too, but it was still her choice. @TotemCrow
I dint think she would get to say all this if she had testified
The truth will set you free. She should have told the truth to begin with.
She didnt testify cuz shes a liar, and she didnt want to be cross examined. She likely knew that she would be ripped apart on the stand by the D.A. This way she can say whatever she wants and not have to be challenged on it.
If she really thought this, the time was during the trial to bring all this up.
She chose not to.
And its obvious why.
Shes full of bullshit
WHY didn't she say this BEFORE??? She BLEW IT.
She explained she was told NOT to TALK
@@60nygalIt is always her final decision. That is no excuse.
So do yall think she's telling the truth? Or lying? I've only seen clips .
Omg she shouldn't ever get paroled. Not only that if Scott was guilty which i don't believe he is i dont belive he would have taken the stand nor would he be in that court room. And your right no emotion right through the whole of this trial. Why didnt she bring all this up when she was first interviewed by the police. 😡😡 shes nothing but a monster.
No remorse no accountability. Unbelievable!
And the judge will take that into account when he sentences her.
Just when you think Melody couldn’t possibly be more of a liar, adulteress ,horrible mother and much more she blames her son again!! I pray for Gary’s children,grandchildren. Melody has tried to ruin their lives,be strong,do it in peace for your Dad…
She lied about everything in her life and refused to take the stand where her lawyers could have asked her questions. She just didn't want to answer to Gary's lawyers as they would have torn her to shreds.
She more evil than I thought
She is such a disgusting POS of a "Mother"! Horrible, horrible excuse for a human being! Us real Mothers would do anything ANYTHING To protect our children. She's no mother. I can't imagine what Scott is going through listening to this..
Gary had multiple affairs, too. So tired of this double standard. And you don't know she lied. It's really hard to say who's telling the truth. But if she is telling the truth, then Scott is the one who ruined everyone's lives.
So shes holding her own trial now? Absolutely disgusting that she was allowed to go that far... Pure evil
You do know that Scott failed a polygraph? Then was inadmissible in the trial… just saying!

She wouldn’t risk cross examination as she would have been exposed
She is disliked by everyone who watched the trial because she cheated on her husband, but don’t forget her husband cheated on her as well. She was treated like dirt, her children and her husband allowed that to happen. This woman is innocent.

I can't believe the prosecutors and the judge let her say all those things about her son. The judge gave her a soft admonishment but when she continued where she left off, he let her go on. There are people who might always wonder about the son because they let her go on like this. It was so unfair and my heart goes out to the son who lost his father, his home and had his life turned upside down, now have to sit quietly in court as his mother attempts to defame his good name. Why didn't anyone stop that?!
So so wrong.
That son used his father for money what are you all talking about ..... this was a spoiled rotten son that took his father's life
@lbenjaminable was never impressed with this Judge!
WHY feel sorry for him? He's a waste of a human that parasitizes everyone around him.doesn't seem to care He's getting blamed. Killing his dad may be the only thing He ever put effort into in his life, and I'm sure it was impulsive. He's probably running great interview lines in his head right now.
@@joycestepancevich6591What I worry about now is how much prosecutors seem to be lying to by the police.
I don’t understand why the judge let this criminal saying all that staff making circus in the court room.
If she wanted to say something, she should have taken the stand. Don't blame your lawyers for your choices. A lawyer only advises their client not to take the stand if they know their client wont be able to answer the questions without looking guilty, but at the end of the day it's the client's decision. This woman would throw anyone under the bus to cover her ass. She referred to Gary as that body, and now he's her loving husband and Big Daddy? Melody told her lover Rusty before anyone else noticed Gary missing that he was on the burn pile. How would she know that at 2:30 am on the 3rd of July unless she murdered him? She hated her husband but loved his money and wanted all of it with her lover Rusty. She used and humiliated Gary in life and degraded him in death. My condolences to Gary's children, grandchildren, family, and friends.
How did they allow her to say all this? Wild. And they found her guuilty, Scott was cleared. 3 out of four kids believe she is the one who killed him.
The judge is unprofessional and has not sentenced her according to the findings of the jury! He should have stopped her mud slinging and only did when the state sad something! What an evil woman, still trying to blame her son, and what a joke saying her husband was taken away from her, while sleeping with Rusty! She should have gotten life without the possibility of parole! Guilty as sin!
I've seen trials where the guilty party is interrupted by the judge and reminded to only speak to the judge and nobody else in the courtroom. Scott is a victim in this case. It was crazy that he allowed Melody to re- victimize the victims.
The judge acted so unprofessional throughout the whole trial and here too.
Another judge interrupted the victim impact statement on the ballerina case but this lady can say whatever she pleases? Ridiculous
It’s inappropriate for her to be allowed to sling mud after she has been found guilty. I can’t believe the judge allowed it to go in like he did. Comparing her son to the Apache school shooter? She is deranged.
Judge shouldnt allow this
Criminals have rights in this country. This isn't eastern Europe or South America. Grow up
how do you know she is not telling the truth?
@@Vale0x3 she should of said all that on the stand. Not after she was convicted.
Why? She said it's the legal advice she received to not talk/testify. Also, her no-stand-up when the jury entered into the court room seems also from her legal counsel. In case like this, today is the last chance for her to make her voice to be heard. I think the judge got it too. That's why he rendered the sentence with a possibility of parole, IMO. She does have personal interests on Gary's death but if the prosecutors grasped it as the solid evidence to make their case, chances are, they missed the truth of the case. In case like this, it remind me of "Murder on the Orient Express"... She begged the court to find the justice to Gary and to her family. She shed lights on some critical pieces to the truth of the case, IMO.
@@sweetiepie3359oh come on. You know that she wouldn’t have been able to talk freely and cross examination is always brutal, guilty or not.
“I have waited for years to make this statement to everyone.” You had your chance during TRIAL. YOU chose NOT to testify. Your lawyer works for YOU. EVIL! 😡
7 of 10 Murder Trials end in CONVICTION. Meaning: A DEFENDANT DOESN’T HAVE MUCH TO LOSE FROM TESTIFYING. Yet: Lawyers ALWAYS TELL THEIR CLIENTS NOT TO TESTIFY. And the jury ALWAYS SAYS: If I were Not Guilty, I would TESTIFY. LAWYERS SHOULD STOP TELLING CLIENTS NOT TO TESTIFY!!!! It hurts their chances. Many jurors ASSUME GUILT if they don’t testify.
She had her chance way before the trial, also. Can you imagine how insane it would have been if this were her testimony in court? Wow.
Yeah, but you know lawyers can be incredibly persuasive. And they typically do their best to persuade their clients not to take the stand. It's plausible.
I think her lawyers are responsible for this. She said it's the legal advice she received to not talk/testify. Also, her no-standing when the jury enter into the court room seems also from her legal counsel. In case like this, today is the last chance for her to make her voice to be heard.

Her son guilty as hell
Why the hell did they allow this?! In Australia there are certain things not allowed to be said during the sentencing. It has to be approved. This is sick. What a monster she is.
If this were true she would have testified in her own defense. She’s just throwing out baseless allegations. This woman is not a mother she’s a monster 👹
She said her legal team advised her not to !! I would be suing them then !! Also, I would be asking for a new trial as they were working against my best interests. What does she have to lose ?
Then, her legal team is BEYOND incompetent
@ a legal team will almost always not recommend taking the stand but it is ultimately the defendant’s decision
@ Exactly so she should appeal immediately on those grounds !!! I wouldn’t let anyone stop me speaking if I wanted to !! Crazy !
If you (god, or whomever you choose, forbid) were told by your attorneys not to testify, knowing full well you didn’t commit this crime, you’d take the stand and tell your attorneys that it’s your life, not theirs. Innocent people don’t just sit back and allow attorneys to dictate their fate.
I've never seen a mother lie on her own Son like this in my life .
Help you restore your family, lady you just lost your family!
Well said Melody. Scott is guilty. He’s in disbelief that you spilled the beans in your statement. Scott, be a man and confess.
Totally agree
She should have taken the stand
What on earth????? How is this allowed? She was giving a whole testimony.

How low, how pitiful for a mother to kill their daddy & then blame one of them for what she is guilty of. SHE called Rusty the night she killed Gary --July 2 or 3- & told him He is on the burn pile.
