And for fans who can't get enough of the Jack Boyle melodrama, this is a delicious moment. Here she is, the other woman, the seductress, the vixen Jack needed to be with at all costs.

For TV watchers, Sherry might be entertainment. For Mad Dog, Sherry is key to his case. She's motive. Now, the prosecution doesn't need to supply a motive. The law's view is, who cares why Jack killed Noreen, as long as you can show he did kill her. But jurors like a motive. It helps them put the pieces together. So in the trial's second week, the motive walks to the witness stand.

She's wearing a power suit with broad, padded shoulders, the style of the times. Sherry is 20 years younger than Jack, attractive, with curly, dirty blonde hair.

Sherry gave birth to a daughter on January 12th, 1990, less than two weeks after Noreen's disappearance. The baby's name, Christine, for Jack's mother. So now, Mayer wants his team to impress on the jury that no one can trust Jack, not even the mother of his newborn. After all, Jack didn't tell Sherry he was married until she was halfway through her pregnancy.

That is definitely not what Mad Dog wanted to hear, that this loyal new mom finds Jack completely trustworthy. So at this point, how does the courtroom scorecard look? The video of the body, the jackhammer, the tarp, they all connect Jack to Noreen's burial and through that to the murder. Hard to believe he doesn't have something to do with this crime. What about character attacks?

Well, in a church-going Midwestern town, infidelity isn't gonna make you a welcome dinner guest. Mothers lock up your daughters, that kind of thing. But Sherry, in my view, I think she backfired on Mad Dog. She was like a character reference for Jack. Plus, Sherry's kind of evidence that his womanizing days are over. So, end the trial here, and I'd say, Jack has a chance of walking.
