    From the sounds of it, if this woman had gone to her employer - this good man - and explained her situation, he possibly would have lent her the money anyway. But no. Her first response was to steal, lie, commit burglary and murder, and then continue to lie. What a horrible person.

      I think he was going to fire her and that letter was her attempt at gaslighting him into keeping her there. I don't believe her. Why would she go looking around the workplace for the letter if he forgave her? It's not a coincidence they went there to get the letter. She also wanted them dead because she knew he was going to report her to the police and she would never work in a position of trust where she could steal again.

      Him firing her would’ve most likely ended the exact same way for him. The motive was she didn’t want to go to jail from the get go and was allegedly willing to do whatever to stop that from happening. Didn’t matter what he said or did. Once he knew she stole, it was over for him.

      Pretty much. I can’t imagine anyone thinking differently. She wrote that letter hoping for mercy but Paul probably didn’t give her a clear answer about losing her job or paying it back. She likely figured the doctor had more money at the house and those guys went there hoping to eliminate the “problem” and find more money.

    • @Mike--Oxmall
      @Mike--Oxmall 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

      Considering he didnt suspend or report her straight away I believe shes probably telling the truth. The house wasnt robbed either, its like they were just looking for the letter. It seems they genuinely believed that getting rid of the letter with her confession on it would clear her of the crime. The idiots didnt seem to realise that all the doctor needed to prove her guilt were the bank records showing her writing cheques to herself.

    • @Fcreceptor
      @Fcreceptor 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      @@Mike--Oxmall not necessarily. The doctor might have told her “we’ll talk about it later” or something along those lines to indicate he wanted to mull over how to appropriately handle it. And the murderers who actually broke in and killed him and his son might have ransacked the house looking for cash. Theft of property would just put the spotlight on them and they seemed to have had a good idea on how to get away. They cleaned the car of prints and the police had no clue who actually committed the crime. I’d say they almost got away with it.

    I mean, I guess I'm confused about Maria's story. She says at trial that she tore up the letter, but how did it get in his jacket? And then she blames the police for rewriting the letter even though the whole purpose of her tearing up the letter was so that no one would know about the letter, so if she tore it up, how would the police even know that there WAS a letter in the first place? Strange coincidence that the police make up a letter apologizing, and she happened to also write a letter about the same subject but tore it up, isn't it?

    • @SeenGod

    • @windowpain1
      @windowpain1 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

      I'm also confused, as I was initially assuming the letter was discovered in the jacket after she claimed she ripped it up, which is why the letter would be treated as the smoking gun in the story--proving that she had lied. But it sounds like she only first says she ripped it up during the trial, after the letter was discovered, which would be weird time to make up that lie.

      She changed the story to ripping up the letter after the prosecution pointed out that she was to blame for the murders because her assassins went in there for the letter. No letter = no crime by her lol. She was reaching. What I don't understand is why people believe a lying thieving murderer when she says her boss forgave her and was going to keep her on as an employee. There's no proof of him forgiving her and that would be why he and his son were killed. Because she never would have got another job with them alive knowing what she did.

    It feels completely unreal to me that the jury would believe Maria's sorry excuse of a defense... The cops planted the letter?? How would they have known about it when only she and her acolytes knew about it?? And that letter when it was found, even if assuming it was "planted", didn't even do anything to help with the case! What was the police supposed to gain doing that?! And if the letter was indeed retrieved by her (contradicting her own initial testimony), why did the home invasion still took place? Wouldn't it imply that the goal was always to kill Dr Jarrett, if the letter wasn't even in the picture? Isn't it obvious she simply changed her story to cover for her a$$, to feign that she didn't even have anything with the burglary to begin with, to get out of that charge too?? To me, this all makes her look infinitely more guilty, not less!

    So the only person who was connected to the murders and embezzlement was the same person who claimed “he forgave me and wasn’t gunna fire me”? HMMMMMM. God, no good deed goes unpunished, the last of Aleta’s family just wiped out, all for the sake of Maria. I hope she doesn’t get out early, this doesn’t feel like justice at all, she was the mastermind behind this all and got away with double murder. Two lives for $9,000…

The fact that she was given a second chance by the victim and she still went along with the burglary plan is outrageous. If the doc had a soft spot for her he probably would have willingly helped her financially. It is always amazing to me that criminals never seem to have forethought and insight into the consequences of their actions and many have such feeble reasoning skills.
