2. It's sad. Even one of her lawyers said...

If Colette Reyes had only followed medical advice, her husband would probably still be alive.

That assumes she wasn't thinking about the financial gain. But I'm skeptical about that part myself and assume she was. Like good ol' Fred MacMurray in "Double Indemnity," whenever a spouse becomes Surplus To Requirements, I assume the other spouse often starts thinking about turning that person into a pile of cash.*

Her problems had been diagnosed over 10 years before the killing. But as noted, she just flatly refused to accept the diagnosis. God and Jesus would take care of her.

The saddest thing of all - Arthur Reyes was found in his garage, in a pool of blood, by his 17-year old daughter. Who immediately called 911 and had to say: "I think my Mom did it."

Not a memory I'd wish on anybody.

*Which reminds me of a hilarious case, because nobody died - Dalia Dippolito in Boynton Beach, FL. Hired a hit man to kill her husband. The hit man she hired was a cop, of course. The police faked a death scene, complete with dead body. Then down at the police station, her "dead" husband walked into the interrogation room. What a surprise! The police videos went viral on YouTube.
