I felt that I owed it to him and to my kids to just stand by him. Nobody wants to go through a murder trial. It's very surreal. I just had to tell myself, walk, sit down, don't fall, don't cry. In my mind, Mark was innocent before. He was innocent from the start. That's what everybody thought.

I didn't think that anybody would believe her, and I just thought if that was truly the case, and Mark truly did that, she would have come forward right away.

I really believed that at the end of that trial that he was going to walk out and walk home with us.

It just kind of rings in your head and echoes guilty, guilty, guilty. I didn't understand how 12 jurors could be so certain that that's how it went down when I had so many questions.

It wasn't just him being sentenced to life. We were sentenced to a life of a father in prison. I do feel that that whole time, Mark was giving a grand performance. I could never come back and say, oh, he got angry at me or he was rough with the kids. I had nothing. I had nothing. He was perfect.

How did you meet Lori? So I originally met her at Gold's Gym. I met her through her then boyfriend, Jay Townsend. He introduced us as his girlfriend at the time. She had just lost a lot of weight and she wanted to start working out. Lori was super sweet. She was just someone that was very easy to talk to. She liked going out to dance and stuff. So we just kind of connected.
