Has Rebecca Mashick, formerly known as Schwartz, made any statement to you ever...

Regarding her potential involvement in the death of Dr. Schwartz and having gotten away with her involvement in that.

He also said that might have been a reference to moving assets to keep them from him.

But perhaps the most surprising testimony came from Rebecca's daughter-in-law, Dana Nichols, Ben's wife at the time.

Her testimony was similar to what she said in this deposition.

She and Ben worked for Rebecca and lived in a house she bought for them.

But Dana said her mother-in-law could be vindictive.

Like the time Dana invited the wrong person to her own baby shower.

She got mad at my baby shower because I invited my other mother-in-law, Ben's stepmom.

And she doesn't like her.

And so she fired us and threatened to take away our house and our health insurance when I was eight months pregnant.

The couple were later rehired, but Dana said that and other experiences convinced her Rebecca could be ruthless.

She had no doubt her mother-in-law had something to do with the killing.

No, because I was scared.

Because she only cares about herself.

And she doesn't care who she will hurt or has hurt to protect herself.

In her deposition, Dana read an email she sent to a friend and gave similar testimony at trial.

I want justice for Dr. Schwartz and Becky to pay for all the wrong and evil things she has done.

She doesn't deserve to be living it up and enjoying life.

Yes.
