Amy Robach

The fact that his he claims his wife was attacking him, trying to kill him, that when she did, she pulled him on top of her.

So she's on the ground on her back.

And in according to his testimony.

While she's trying to kill him, she pulls him on top of her and then was able from being on her back with him on top of her, he weighs more than her, he's taller than her, a man versus a woman, you get it.

She's able to wield a rock up at his head from that position.

Everything he was describing, I'm sorry, there was no juror who could have possibly believed that that was a likely,

or even like possible scenario.

It was ridiculous.

I thought that was really interesting because so the conversation was, according to Dr. Gerhardt, they somehow started talking about this emotional affair again.

And she, according to him, brought up the fact that she wanted to start traveling for work, and that would include her possibly meeting and being around physically with this man she had an emotional affair with.

He claims that his wife brought that up on this hike, and that is what led to this physical altercation that she provoked and ended the way it did.

So, look...

maybe the jury just felt like there was no way to prove who started what.

And if you can't prove that, you can't know that he premeditated this act.

However, you have to remember, the prosecution, I thought, did a pretty good job trying to lay the groundwork

groundwork for that very notion that he premeditated this because he was obsessed because he was buying these books he was they were just showing him going to the wife of the man she had an emotional affair with and trying to get her to attack his wife or confront his wife he had just been thinking about this for so long and they were trying to just establish some sort of his mental

decisions along the way that led to that day where he ultimately, they claim, tried to kill her.

So I even said, having listened to, we didn't listen to every single, because of the time difference, that's just full disclosure, full transparency.

But what we did here, to me, I was a little surprised that one hour, two hour, three hours, four hours, all of this time went by.

I actually thought this time, a decision, a jury verdict would come much sooner than eight hours plus.
