Yep.

Think of OJ Simpson, that racist and sexist bastard.

And herein lies another difference- OJ was seemingly very likable. Likability is not to be underestimated.

BTW, amazing we are comparing stashing pot in someone's car with a brutal double homicide. But I totally get you.

If we must bring OJ into this, he was a public figure, so there really is no comparison. That, and some people are depicted as "likable" ("popular", whatever you want to call it) until they are not. Jill didn't stand a chance, because she was so over the top wrong. Also, it is not far fetched to guess Jill had wronged other people before she overreacted (!!!!!!!) to Kelli. Jill was/is paranoid, there is no getting around that. Jill's problem is that she confused "sneaky" with "smart". HUGE mistake on her part.

NP here. They didn't just 'stash pot', they also planted a bunch of prescription pills, and the article made is quite clear, that while the pot would have been a misdemeanor, 40 opioid painkillers without prescription do qualify as narcotics distribution.

OP, thanks so much for posting this! This story is shockingly crazy.. and I, for one, do think that Kelli Peters deserves every single penny of that settlement.

This is probably fodder for another thread, but the OJ trial also came on the tails of one of the first videotaped and widely publicized police beatings of an unarmed civilians since the Civil Rights movement, and after the LAPD had been shown to be basically top to bottom Klan sympathizers. Without the Rodney King beating, there would be no OJ Simpson acquittal.

Anyone else surprised that when Jill/Ava/Crazy Eyes told her husband he should kill himself that his policy was only for $500K. A $400K/year attorney and he's only got a $500K policy? That's what I've got and I only make $120K!

Oh, and I didn't know she was having an affair! OMG! The firefighter was married, too! I'm so glad they were busted. However, justice isn't really served until Kelli and her family get their monetary damages. I hope her DH gets healthy.

Her affair partner's wife is lucky that she was already being watched and in hot water when the affair broke up. Crazy eyes would totally pull an Amy Fisher or some other setup for his poor wife.

I was also surprised at the low value of the insurance policy. Maybe that's the payout for suicide. It could be higher for a different kind of death.

Not only was Jill having an affair with a married firefighter, she went nuts when they broke up and went to his house to tell his wife. She also wrote a letter to the wife's employer. This woman does not know how to let stuff go.

I wonder if she thought that $500k would tie him over for a year before he found work? Who knows, as she wasn't very bright.

No, she wanted HIM to kill himself. Take one for the team and all that jazz.

In which case, Jill is worse than I thought, and so is he. She didn't value her husband at all, and probably thought the firefighter boyfriend was going to leave his wife for her. Joke's on Jill, because firefighter boyfriend wanted NOTHING to do with Jill and her drama. Do you blame him?

When are you leaving DC ? You twat . You've missed an opportunity to stay on topic .

I read the whole series - each day it was published. Besides PPs comments on this what "surprised" me what that the firefighter was described as so anti an affair/long term when he had been involved over 2 years. Also- firefighter's wife wasn't mentioned but she should have kicked him to the curb.
