Transcription

What happened to Matthew Trussler?

2514.403 - 2536.692 Payton Moreland

Eine Minute auf dem Stand, sie würde wirklich wütend sein und dann einfach einen Schlüssel fliegen und schmerzhaft traurig sein. Und das hat die Juristen wirklich nicht zufrieden gemacht. Aber das war nur der Tipp des Eisbergs, als es kam, Melissa zu beweisen, dass sie schuldig war, weil die Gerichtshofbranche noch einen wunderschönen Punkt in Melissa's Geschichte gebracht hat. Okay.

Es kommt aus einer ADT-Besuchskamera, die an der Kuppelsfeuer geblickt wurde. Sie hatten also eine Kamera im Haus. Es ist um 3.42 Uhr.

Hat sie das nicht erkannt?

Und du kannst Matthew ziemlich ruhig durch ihren Feuer gehen. Alles über seinen Demeanor ist ziemlich normal. Und dann ist Melissa hinter ihm in diesem Foto. Und sie ist überhungert. Sie sieht iratisch aus. Sie ist enttäuscht. Sie ist sehr intoxiziert. Sie ist fast so schrecklich wie Matthew in der Küche. According to the timeline, their fight begins less than 20 minutes later.

And then at 4.08 a.m., Melissa returns into frame. And she's standing in the foyer, just staring at the wall for a moment. And in that clip, you can see that her right hand is covered in blood. And then Melissa turns back and walks back into the kitchen. Now, there's so many alarm bells going off with these tapes. This is nuts. This is insane.

2625.25 - 2640.456 Payton Moreland

One of the biggest things the prosecutors point out at trial is, okay, if she's in self-defense, right, and she's in distress, she feels like her life is on the line here, like she's claiming life. Why would you get out of the kitchen where the fight is happening?

2640.476 - 2641.357 Garrett Moreland

And then go back in.

2641.417 - 2658.25 Payton Moreland

And then like calmly and then run back in. Why would you run back towards your aggressor, the person who's trying to kill you? I think it's pretty clear to say that Melissa probably did not get hit into the head and stumble into her office and that she could have easily called 911 in that moment if her life was in danger.

2659.151 - 2684.902 Payton Moreland

But she was either so drunk she couldn't comprehend what was happening or she chose not to. So after less than a week of testimony, the jury came back on February 18th, 2022 with a verdict. The 29-year-old Melissa Turner was found guilty of second-degree murder. She was later sentenced to 20 and a half years behind bars. But the damage Melissa did to Matthews family and his memory was irreparable.
