Spot on. She is evil. She spent the last 6 years on house arrest at a friend's house so after the verdict was her first time in jail. She realized what a horrible life it will be until she dies so she threw Scott under the bus, like all narcissists do to everyone around them because she is cornered like the rat she is and cannot sleep, buy or cheat her way out of this one. She is crying for herself now because she sees how she will live the rest of her life. Scott is innocent and wasn't near there the day of the murder. She is evil and will rot alone as ole Rusty will slowly separate himself from her and he is in his 70's so he will die before she does more than likely. I think she is 62 but the last month in jail since sentencing took its toll. No more pearls for her. She had it nice. She cheated throughout their entire marriage. both she and Gary were more worried about splitting their assets in a divorce than living good lives for themselves and their kids. her grandchildren will be better off without her in their lives.
Based on her character, she would never ever cover her son's crime. She is extremely cold and selfish woman. It was her who killed her husband. She would've presented all the evidence to prove her son's crime if that is even the truth. That's what her lawyer's been claiming throughout the whole trial. They were never able to prove her claim during the trial. It's disgusting and unbelievable now all of sudden she claimed that she knew the whole time that it was her son who killed her husband. Then what her lawyer's been doing after all this time? She sounds like a sociopath.
Thats what I was thinking. She supposedly her mom she wasn't going to cover for him, then cover for him and now she's not covering anymore? Get your shat straight! To keep it up and not just try to throw doubt, but to bash him and accuse him with every sentence is disgusting and she should be ashamed.
@@coopersmom8339 she said that she take the blame, but what blame since minute one she throw Scott under the bus. GPS showed he wasn't there, he has a solid alibi.
There are a lot of scary females, because a lot are covert narcissist. Narcissistic men you can see coming a mile away. The scary ones are the covert narcissist, and a lot of them have borderline personality disorder, social dysfunction, sociopath. ....and you will never know it until they strike. I was married to one for 22 years I will never be the same but I'm lucky to be alive. ... I think a lot of women spend their lives being the weaker sex, less physically able, in a lot of cases having much less mechanical ability, etc and they hate it. ...but they want to run the show, and eventually, a plan comes together. 👎 ...watch your back guys, I really mean this.
@@kimokelly2841 Unfortunately, she does not know about such feelings as being ashamed! If she was so sure that Scott was the culprit, she would have proven it before the trial was over! And besides, she would have testified herself. But she didn't want to because she didn't want to answer any questions from the prosecutor. But sitting and confronting everyone when she can't be questioned, she can. She is really out of her mind!
She had a friend Sherrie and this woman has terrible character. This woman was slso divorcing her husband and she took Melody's debit card with her and used it so Melody could deceive her husband while she was in Jamaica at the Hedonism Resort with her lover. She and her friend probably fed off of each other as they walked and dissed their husbands. These two had another male neighbor and he testified about some shocking hateful texts she sent him about Gary. She associated with Rusty and Sherrie and other people of questionable character.
The judge let her go on too long and so did the attorneys. She is supposed to talk about impact not conduct the trial over. Typical narcissist. They always have to have the last word and they will lie, cheat, steal from their own family and friends to save themselves. I have 3 sisters who are narcissists and I haven't interacted with them in 15 years. I had to cut them off like a cancerous growth. She tried to frame Scott from the start but it backfired and after spending the last five-six years on house arrest with a friend, she is now in jail and will be in prison and she realizes there is no way out for her. So she throws Scott under the bus.
"Prosecutors argued Farris was the only person with a motive and the opportunity to kill her husband, noting she was the beneficiary of his $2 million life insurance policy."
MOTHER,,,WHAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN SAY SORRY TO YOUR CHILDREN FOR PUTTING THEM IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR LOVE AFFAIRS...YOU EVEN BROUGHT YOUR LOVE TO DANCE WITH U IN FRONT OF YOUR HUSBAND...OOO LADY WHAT YOU PUT YOUR FAMILY THROUGH...NOT EVEN SAY SORRY....THATS WHY I DON'T BELIEVE YOU...
@weeble-wobble if she would have said to her children sorry she would have had my grace..but she trashed most of them with anger and hate which shows me she is capable of killing..
Her friend is lying.. He doesn't even sound sincere. He knows Melody is a mean person. She didn't love Gary nor her children. Her children were financially benefits for her.
Actually she will be 99 yrs old cause the judge added 5 more yrs to the 30 yrs for parole hearing , she will die long before her first parole hearing 😮
It was still fake, no tears, turning the shaky fake voice on and off v quickly. Who statement was laughable, I feel sorry for Scott dealing with that for a mother, I hope the golden child realises she's a complete user and cuts off contact with her.

Melody keeps manipulating those around her evil heart! SMH 🤦♀️ Where were her husband Gary and her children when she was spending joyous time with her lovers? Huh?
Oh Melody...giving her speech talking about her husband....the husband you disrespected and had affairs on, stole his money for your many boyfriends, the husband you didn't love and could not wait for him to die so you murdered him. Off to prison with you Melody you deserve to be in prison. Justice for Gary Farris💔❤️💔
For 40 years I've had gay friends. The language, demeanor and intonations in this man's voice are that of a gay man. His mother is likely wtill alive and that's why he hasn't been more explicit. Momma likely knows anyway but may not want her Southern church friend to know, but likely do too.
She is exactly where she belongs! After she gets her sentence, Chris, Scott and Emily never need to hear or see her again! They can move on in life and try to forget all the harm she has caused.
Melody has 2 sides! This Thomas guy didn't know her that long. Gary had *emotional* affairs, she was actually *sleeping* with other men! She told Rusty that Gary was on the burn pile. She also said she didn't intend for Gary's body to burn as bad as it did. What other evidence do these people need! Prosecution and Judge should not have let her go on and on about Scott! The reason Scott's bathroom was so clean is because *she* went there to clean up after she killed Gary so it was part of her setting him up! Melody set Scott up in so many ways! I'm glad she got life. She is so bitter and angry. Her time in prison will be hell!
It's not. She's just acting because she wants someone to visit her in prison. Show must go on . Notice how she stops crying when judge is sentencing her. Disgusting individual.
The judge is following the law. During sentencing, the defendant can do a lot, but they cannot argue the FACTS of the case. She has been found guilty by a jury. Judge is just doing his job.
He should have shut her down in the first 2 minutes and not allowed her to continue. After he told her to not go into the things she was, she kept right on and he didn’t stop her!!!!!! WTH?!????
Why can they bad mouth the victims but victims can not bad mouth the murderer. So wrong. Same thing happened in that jamie k trial the victims werenot allowed too. This is a disgrace
She's had a lot of time to write this garbage and figure out the best way to act it out. She could have testified but would have been slaughtered on cross. It's sad to see the damage of a narcissistic mother on the family.
The Judge in this case is shitty. He allowed way too much slander and misconduct. Melody is guilty. The way she is trying to blame her son is disgusting. She shows all the signs and mannerisms of a psychopath. Melody only cares about Melody. I feel so bad for Scott and all her children. They deserved better.
I was under the impression Scott left that day to go golfing with friends and spent the day at lake coming home late went to bed so he could get up early to go golfing with friends.
Judge David L. Cannon Jr. demonstrated that he is a lackluster judge. He was weak and sentenced her with parole. This judge failed Scott because he had the responsibility of stopping the expressions of this evil woman from the get go and he decided to allow her to continue hurting malignantly specially her son Scott, her other son Gary and their families. This judge failed Gary perhaps mostly. He began his expressions like Pontius Pilate, washing his hands, thus demonstrating that he is a pro-defendant and weak judge.
Amazing to see that anyone believed her theatrical sentencing statement. The jury ruled out her son due to a few facts and she's the one who decided not to testify. Too much, too late, Melody. But we will send you one of these ---> 🎻 for the appellate court.
@@An-Alien-On-Earthmom was spotless and her son wasn’t around dummy had prove her cell was in the home he was with friends and she called him just to do as she blame him put all he’s things who does if he killed he’s why would he leave anything of he’s around make no sense
She didn't consider Gary her spouse. He was her meal plus ticket. She didn't want to give up the life of luxury! She is evil and not innocent. Sentence her as you see fit Your Honor!
Yes, they did. You obviously disturb watch the entire trial the tomeline proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that melody was the only one home wuth Gary when the murder occurred !
@susannasPOV They proved Scott was there too. Watch the interview of the ignorant jurror on TH-cam. She thought she could have moved Gary from the basement of the house too. Complete idiot. No 60 year old woman is moving 300+ pounds. Shows what most women have experienced......Nothing
I said I would take the blame and not that it’s time to take the blame….uh um, definitely not taking the blame. What an evil woman, how she got such a great husband and family is unbelievable!!
I can’t watch Court TV any more because I have seen innocent people convicted of crimes. This lady could not have killed her husband. She was convicted because she had an affair and she has certain confidence about herself .
@@dorothyellisc7303 I have removed the criticism of your statement. I will do that much for you. However, this is a public forum and I am allowed to vigorously disagree with you, after all you did the same thing to this channel. It seems it’s a case of do as I say, not as I do.
I think they were both involved, so she's not innocent by a long shot, imo. At most, if true, then one was found guilty and one got away with it. Also, even though she may claim that she didn't testify because her attorneys advised her against it, no completely innocent person (who had no involvement in the crime) would have taken that bad advice of their counsel. Period! Obviously, her attorneys may have believed that there was some circumstantial evidence that worked against her.
I think Scott killed his dad. She’s a crappy person and hated her husband but I don’t believe she was the one who killed him. Scott took advantage of their bad marriage to cover his crime.
@@RSmith9946you’re accusing someone who was ruled out. Like I said before, that’s exactly why she gave her little “speech”-one last effort to divide her own kids; and you’re falling for it
I still am not convinced Melody committed this crime…I think she has a good argument for appeal…and before everyone throws darts my way yes I did watch the trial..all of it!
She was proven to be the only one who was on the property at the time of the murder.Why do you want to believe that the son did it.He was proven not to be anywhere near the murder site.
Her chance to tell her side was long gone, sentencing is not the time. Her behavior was no real surprise to me, but appalling none the less. That judge is ineffective and inept and should not retain his position.
Suddenly, my husband, my husband, my husband, had she forgotten long ago that she had a husband? All she had were lovers and holidays...... After watching this long trial, I agreed that she should deserve to be in jail even she is innocent.
Melody Farris is a vile, cold blooded murderer who killed to have a life with her two timing lover Rusty. She was just angry because Rusty is suddenly no where to be found. 😅 😅 😅 😅 Melody->note to self “ Should have stood up and shown respect for the jury so they didn’t see my true colors.’😅
She said she didn't kill him. She didn't say she wasn't responsible for his death. It's possible a hitman was hired to do this deed on someone else's behalf. So sad, I wish we could read people's minds in cases like this so we could get to the truth. Repeatedly lying, clamming up, acting secretive, and having secretive affairs did not play well in her favor, whether she did it or not. If she really didn't do it, she should have testified on her own behalf.
And Chris needs to cut it out he is a drunk he Lacks he lacks the courage to stand alone or stand up for his mother who has been nothing but good to him and his children he obviously cannot maintain relationships as it appears that his drinking has separated him from his ability to maintain his marriage is children clearly love their grandmother and even alibi her on the night that they wanted to get into the hot tub again Chris cut the crocodile tears you and your brother who used to beat you up all the time because you're weak have now gotten together with your little sister who's nothing but a trader as well to figure out how you're going to spend mommy and daddy's money
I don’t understand why nearly every case these days the defense is always whining about evidence that was not allowed to be admitted. What is the deal? Isn’t that the defenses fault? I’m tired of hearing that evidence was not permitted, cuz then it wouldn’t be evidence.
I've watched every second of this trial & saw through Melody from her very first interview. She's an habitual liar, a narcissist evil money loving excuse of a human! She doesn't know how to love anyone besides herself. My heart breaks for Gary a good man & a kind father & his children who loved & respected him. Melody totally belongs in prison. God help the children to continue living with their broken hearts especially innocent Scott 🙏
I have to wonder why convicted criminals get to issue impact statements at the sentencing hearing, especially when those statements re victimise the families, like this and The Boone statements. These people have had ample opportunity to air their opinions and grievances during the trial and an opportunity to take the stand to do so, so why give them a platform to double down on them? This needs to change.
I don't believe she did it. I don't believe she even knew what was happening with the woodpile. It is a 10acre site. But even if it were a more 'normal' type size garden, unless she made a point of finding out, why would she even know what was going on. My family do stuff in our small back garden and I haven't a clue what they're doing as I rarely go out there. Never mind a large heavily wooded site like she had. They had zero actual evidence against this woman and so therefore resorted to attacking her morals etc on a personal basis. So what if she had romantic partners. Who are we to judge the state of her marital relationship. In fact, I'm impressed that instead of being lonely and miserable, as so many people are in circumstances like hers, she made the effort to seek out a bit of happiness in this extremely short time that we have here on earth. Good for her. Her husband had been doing the same thing. That doesn't make her a potential killer. I see this hating on the woman far too much in the US legal system. It's not far removed from the old days of the witch hunts! I know who I think really did it. The one who had plenty to benefit from, and who failed their lie detector test! He, and his other siblings have come out of this very nicely haven't they. Another travesty of justice!

Looks like she has cottonwool under her lip.
I know that's right that lip is something else
Too many 🍆
Cat in the Hat
@@girlnextdoor7 wonder if she had Botox gone wrong?
I was under the impression Scott left that day to go golfing with friends and spent the day at lake coming home late went to bed so he could get up early to go golfing with friends.
He was home the night of July 3rd.
Judge David L. Cannon Jr. demonstrated that he is a lackluster judge. He was weak and sentenced her with parole. This judge failed Scott because he had the responsibility of stopping the expressions of this evil woman from the get go and he decided to allow her to continue hurting malignantly specially her son Scott, her other son Gary and their families. This judge failed Gary perhaps mostly. He began his expressions like Pontius Pilate, washing his hands, thus demonstrating that he is a pro-defendant and weak judge.
This judge is so outta line he needs to be sat down.
Haven’t seen so much tension in a court room like this one
She should've showed respect by standing for the jury!
Amazing to see that anyone believed her theatrical sentencing statement. The jury ruled out her son due to a few facts and she's the one who decided not to testify.
Too much, too late, Melody. But we will send you one of these ---> 🎻 for the appellate court.
It is amazing.
Thomas has been fooled by a psychopath. That can certainly happen to decent people.
Whoever cleaned up that bathroom is the one who did it.
Her son
Yup her she was very clean spotless
@@An-Alien-On-Earthmom was spotless and her son wasn’t around dummy had prove her cell was in the home he was with friends and she called him just to do as she blame him put all he’s things who does if he killed he’s why would he leave anything of he’s around make no sense
@@iveliserojas612 Did you flunk second grade?
@@iveliserojas612how did you pass your English classes? Wow
Pure evilness hope carmas gets her soon blaming her son what a devil 😈
She didn't consider Gary her spouse. He was her meal plus ticket. She didn't want to give up the life of luxury! She is evil and not innocent. Sentence her as you see fit Your Honor!
She needs to go to prison FOR LIFE!
Jury didn't know the definition of Reasonable Doubt
Yes, they did. You obviously disturb watch the entire trial the tomeline proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that melody was the only one home wuth Gary when the murder occurred !
@susannasPOV I watched r he entire trial. They never proved anything except she cheated on Gary. The End. Most lawyer agree too!!
@susannasPOV They proved Scott was there too. Watch the interview of the ignorant jurror on TH-cam. She thought she could have moved Gary from the basement of the house too. Complete idiot. No 60 year old woman is moving 300+ pounds. Shows what most women have experienced......Nothing
Objection please!!!
I said I would take the blame and not that it’s time to take the blame….uh um, definitely not taking the blame. What an evil woman, how she got such a great husband and family is unbelievable!!
All her kids are useless except for Amanda . He husband was a controller and workaholic. No wonder she had affairs .
I can’t watch Court TV any more because I have seen innocent people convicted of crimes. This lady could not have killed her husband. She was convicted because she had an affair and she has certain confidence about herself .
@@dorothyellisc7303 if you doesn't watch then you didn't know how she lied to the police since minute one.
@ I watched the trial every day. The End
@@dorothyellisc7303 I have removed the criticism of your statement. I will do that much for you. However, this is a public forum and I am allowed to vigorously disagree with you, after all you did the same thing to this channel. It seems it’s a case of do as I say, not as I do.
@@dorothyellisc7303 sorry, you said you can't watch Court TV, so... you watch or don't watch?!
Melody is GUILTY 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Nah
Bury her in your mind sons of Melody and then forget her she's not worth your tears😢
I hope the right person was found guilty. This case has lots of twist and turns
They sent the wrong one to prison IMO
I think they were both involved, so she's not innocent by a long shot, imo. At most, if true, then one was found guilty and one got away with it. Also, even though she may claim that she didn't testify because her attorneys advised her against it, no completely innocent person (who had no involvement in the crime) would have taken that bad advice of their counsel. Period! Obviously, her attorneys may have believed that there was some circumstantial evidence that worked against her.
I think Scott killed his dad. She’s a crappy person and hated her husband but I don’t believe she was the one who killed him. Scott took advantage of their bad marriage to cover his crime.
@@Dawn5085wow, her “division” speech worked for some-exactly what she intended to do, and you’re falling for it. All evidence pointed to HER.
@@RSmith9946you’re accusing someone who was ruled out. Like I said before, that’s exactly why she gave her little “speech”-one last effort to divide her own kids; and you’re falling for it
How much he knows about her then her children? She is trying everything as she can to cover up what she did, and blame it on her son Scott😮
Still ME, ME ME. I have never seen a person so jealous of her children , because of the attention their father gave them.
I still am not convinced Melody committed this crime…I think she has a good argument for appeal…and before everyone throws darts my way yes I did watch the trial..all of it!
so did I and I DO think she did it.
She did do it, and was convicted of it. She is where she belongs!
I hope she gets a new trial. Especially when they didn't present all the evidence
I don't know what to think😢
I think the judge has doubt
I believe her that the son was involved. Something’s needs to be revisted
She was proven to be the only one who was on the property at the time of the murder.Why do you want to believe that the son did it.He was proven not to be anywhere near the murder site.
@@peggygraham6129 He was there the night of July 3rd.
Her chance to tell her side was long gone, sentencing is not the time. Her behavior was no real surprise to me, but appalling none the less. That judge is ineffective and inept and should not retain his position.
I can’t believe she threw her son under the bus!
Nah you just can’t stand the truth missy
I don't think she did it. Having affairs doesn't mean she's a killer.
I totally think it was Scott. Failed lie detector.
Go back to sleep
Oh I believe this family’s story ain’t over yet…….
Suddenly, my husband, my husband, my husband, had she forgotten long ago that she had a husband? All she had were lovers and holidays......
After watching this long trial, I agreed that she should deserve to be in jail even she is innocent.
No evidence enough for me in this trial. They did wrong.
I think the judge is not sure either
Plenty for me. She’s evil incarnate and guilty as hell.
@@betsydooner6422 he was in control of the proceedings, that's his bad
Melody Farris is a vile, cold blooded murderer who killed to have a life with her two timing lover Rusty. She was just angry because Rusty is suddenly no where to be found. 😅 😅 😅 😅
Melody->note to self
“ Should have stood up and shown respect for the jury so they didn’t see my true colors.’😅
Te grinch is going away for life.Just do not kill your Husband
She AND her boyfriend GUILTY!!!
What a disappointment these kids turned out to be.
Fake tears
Its not fake, but she is only crying for herself. Selfpity
There was alot of holes in this case and they know it
Scott is guilty as hell
Police ruled him pretty quik.
@@lydiakinnaman3679dumbass pd
She said she didn't kill him. She didn't say she wasn't responsible for his death. It's possible a hitman was hired to do this deed on someone else's behalf. So sad, I wish we could read people's minds in cases like this so we could get to the truth. Repeatedly lying, clamming up, acting secretive, and having secretive affairs did not play well in her favor, whether she did it or not. If she really didn't do it, she should have testified on her own behalf.
And Chris needs to cut it out he is a drunk he Lacks he lacks the courage to stand alone or stand up for his mother who has been nothing but good to him and his children he obviously cannot maintain relationships as it appears that his drinking has separated him from his ability to maintain his marriage is children clearly love their grandmother and even alibi her on the night that they wanted to get into the hot tub again Chris cut the crocodile tears you and your brother who used to beat you up all the time because you're weak have now gotten together with your little sister who's nothing but a trader as well to figure out how you're going to spend mommy and daddy's money
First time sbowing emotion
I don’t understand why nearly every case these days the defense is always whining about evidence that was not allowed to be admitted. What is the deal? Isn’t that the defenses fault? I’m tired of hearing that evidence was not permitted, cuz then it wouldn’t be evidence.
What is wrong with this judge?! This is horrible
I think the judge has more info. than the jurors. He must think she is innocent.
Well she has caused something to think about
She's pathetic. What a drama queen 😂
Wow Scott you are so guilty what an angry man
@@lizcummings5985 he wasn't there. How is he guilty?
Scott did it
that son sure looked quilty while he read that statement ..
Scott killed his dad.
I've watched every second of this trial & saw through Melody from her very first interview. She's an habitual liar, a narcissist evil money loving excuse of a human! She doesn't know how to love anyone besides herself. My heart breaks for Gary a good man & a kind father & his children who loved & respected him. Melody totally belongs in prison. God help the children to continue living with their broken hearts especially innocent Scott 🙏
I have to wonder why convicted criminals get to issue impact statements at the sentencing hearing, especially when those statements re victimise the families, like this and The Boone statements. These people have had ample opportunity to air their opinions and grievances during the trial and an opportunity to take the stand to do so, so why give them a platform to double down on them? This needs to change.
I don't believe she did it. I don't believe she even knew what was happening with the woodpile. It is a 10acre site. But even if it were a more 'normal' type size garden, unless she made a point of finding out, why would she even know what was going on. My family do stuff in our small back garden and I haven't a clue what they're doing as I rarely go out there. Never mind a large heavily wooded site like she had.
They had zero actual evidence against this woman and so therefore resorted to attacking her morals etc on a personal basis. So what if she had romantic partners. Who are we to judge the state of her marital relationship. In fact, I'm impressed that instead of being lonely and miserable, as so many people are in circumstances like hers, she made the effort to seek out a bit of happiness in this extremely short time that we have here on earth. Good for her. Her husband had been doing the same thing. That doesn't make her a potential killer. I see this hating on the woman far too much in the US legal system. It's not far removed from the old days of the witch hunts!
I know who I think really did it. The one who had plenty to benefit from, and who failed their lie detector test! He, and his other siblings have come out of this very nicely haven't they. Another travesty of justice!
Exactly!! Very true!
@@moonlightshadow2664 have you ever heard of divorce? She didn’t want a divorce, yeah you can date as much as you want AFTER you get a divorce. She didn’t want it because she wanted the lifestyle he provided for her. She stood to gain 2 million in case of his death. The children stood to gain nothing,0, nada
Gary's son looks like his father😂
Oh haha?????? Smh
Which may be why she hates her son, Chris, so much.
Ain't no mamma's baby, papa's maybe
Why aren't the 2 brothers sitting next to each other? My heart goes out to them
