In photos, Marie Crabtree smiled and posed with her children, but police allege she killed to receive life insurance payments.
She allegedly told a friend, I want to put something in his drink so he won't be here.
We will be alleging these are premeditated direct acts of murder.
Thanks for having me again.
Yeah, right at the end of this trial, the jury was told about a discovery which was made in Jonathan's room after his death.
Inside a bin was a crumpled up handwritten note.
That note was shown to the jury and it was read out aloud.
It said, hey mum, my Brian keeps telling me to do this.
I want you, Marie, to have my share of the H. So the note ends on just that single letter.
I mean, that's the inference.
If you ask the defence, the prosecution says it's simply incomplete and indistinct.
So there's just no way to know.
Well, yeah, it depends who you ask.
As I said, the prosecution doesn't think it's anything of significance.
There was clearly spelling and grammatical errors, which didn't make sense.
For the defence, though, they say it was clearly a final letter to his mother stating his wishes before he dies.
So it was put to the jury that Marie was motivated by money.
We've talked in the other episodes already about the fact that she was also on trial for fraud.
