I watched the whole trial and there is no doubt that Melanie McGuire killed her husband.  She chopped him up and put him in suitcases because she couldn't life the dead body by herself.  She left a blanket in one of the suitcases, and it was from the medical office that she worked at.  There was alot of things that tied Melanie to this murder.  Her lawyer, Joe Taco know she did it, but is upset he lost his case.  Get over it Joe Taco.   SHe killed him. 

From what I saw on Primetime, it doesn't look to me like they had enough evidence to convict her.  Weird stuff happens in life and things aren't always what they seem.  I could imagine them getting into an argument and him taking off to go gamble and then getting into a fight or something and getting killed.  The blanket could have been in his car when he left, along with the trash bags.  I don't think that she would have accidentally left a medical blanket in with the body.  She would have noticed that.  Especially if she was being so meticulous.  Someone who didn't see the relavance of the medical blanket would have left it in there.  The suitcases, he probably took with him when he left.  Also,  it seems to me that he could have been looking up all that stuff on the internet to try and kill her.  He threatened her before, maybe he had thought about killing her.  Things must have been pretty bad at that time if she went and got a restraining order and filed for divorce.  I don't see how this would have helped her situation, or even how she could have thought that it would.  She could have just gotten the divorce and the restraining order and moved on with it.   Also, the fact that the bullets that he was shot with came from the same gun could easily be justified if he were carrying it on him that night and someone got it from him and shot him with it.  He could have been robbed, or any kind of situation like that could have occured.  It looks bad, but so do a lot of things.  I know that a lot of people out there have lost something and were sure that someone you knew stole it.  Only to happen upon it later, feeling shamed for thinking they would do such a thing.  This could be the same thing.  People always expect the worst.  It's how our society has become.  No one trusts anyone.  And, I guess that's just how it is.

I think there was tons of evidence that pointed to her:

1.  A prescription for a drug that could knock her husband out written on a a prescription pad from her office

2.  She bought an unregistered gun just a month before his death in PA, (she lives in NJ) supposedly for a man with a temper and who had shown that violence toward her? 

3.  She drove to The Boardwalk to "move his car as a prank" only hours after he allegedly slapped her, choked her, and shoved a dryer sheet into her mouth?

4.  How did she know he had gone to the Boardwalk and how did she get there and back?  Supposed she paid $200 for a taxi? 

 

Sorry, the only smart thing this lady did was remove all evidence of her cutting up the body in her house.  Other than that I think she's guilty as sin.

As for her attorney, he sounds more like a lover than counselor.  I've never heard an attorney so adamant about the innocence of their client.
