Florence Jensen

Starting off, it was a very good marriage. They loved each other. They had a good time. And then came this revelation of this affair.

She wanted the kids, the house, and everything. And she wanted it all. And she didn't want a husband. You really think Julie was that calculating? Yes.

Never told us about it, but he was devastated.

I fear for my early demise. Early demise is a literary term. It reminds me of Jane Austen. It doesn't sound real to me. It's not real.

He knew that she had been depressed. He knew she had the problems. She's the one that told him, there is no relationship between you and I. She wanted the kids, the house. She wanted it all, and she didn't want a husband.

The day Mark went for that police interview, he couldn't believe it. He just kept reading it and reading like, oh my God, what in the world is this? I think he finally realized that, my gosh, they think I killed my wife.

It wasn't murder. It wasn't even suicide. It was to set Mark up for attempted murder, and she was not supposed to die.

He knew he hadn't killed her. He just thought that the jury would see that. And, of course, they didn't.

I think she thought she could depend on Mark and he just thought she was pretty and she was sweet.

That is Mark and Julie's wedding picture. It was a beautiful wedding. The only thing that marred it was the fact that Julie's mother was in the hospital.

She told me her mother had ruined everything that was important to her in her life. And if she had a wedding, her mother was going to ruin that too. And of course she did.

Yes, very much so. As she got older, she could feel that she was becoming more like her mother. And I'm sure her episodes of depression were part of that.

Disappointment in her. Very definitely. There's always disappointment when you learn about an affair.

Our family knows nothing about depression.

Mark took joy in everything. He was just such a great personality. Julie was the first real girlfriend. Mark was really enamored with Julie. You could just see it. He loved her a lot. I'm Florence Jensen, Mark's mother.
