I wish the judge had been allowed to finish what he was saying

Of course she had rage. She was abused for 15 years!!!

I believe this women because of my first marriage... I identified with everything she said.

I feel like I could have been this woman if I had not had the courage to leave my abusive husband. If I had not left he would have killed me. She showed no emotion because she has learned to cover up and continue on with the abuse of 15 years. Now she is suffering through a jail term. Living with an abusive husband is indescribable. It is easy to judge unless you have been through it. She was traumatized and was carrying on like she did after every abuse episode. Cleaning up and pretending everything was normal. I hope she is receiving counciling.

As a woman of abuse I understand this woman in the sense of the fact that she has no emotion when you're abused and you show emotion it enrages them even more to wear if you have no emotion the abused might last 15 minutes a half hour but if you show emotion it'll last for hours may continue on for days so you become numb to your emotions you show absolutely nothing

When your in a abusive situation weather or not your a the wife or a child, you learn how to control your emotions. I grew up in a horrible violent and with a abusive father. My Mom didn't believe in Divorce and had my dad not let us and went to his lover. I have no doubt that he would have murdered her. He almost did anyway. I was the youngest sibling so I had no choice but to go to see my dad. I would be crying hysterically begging my mom to not make me go. We were in a small town and he was a businessman. The police wouldn't do anything. I would cry , be shaking uncontrollably, and begging for to leave town so I didn't have to go. She couldn't do that or she would have gone to jail. The second my dad drove up. I would push all of that aside, wash my face so he couldn't see how scared I was. You have to be able to control your emotions. Because those emotions will make them thrive on the terror. I don't know much about this case but from this interview. I think it was self defense. I think in that moment in the floor with him on top, I think she snapped. We know 100% that when a victim is leaving their control is the most dangerous time for the victim(all though I hate that word). He found out she was leaving him and he went off like never before. Then in that moment she snapped. She knew that it was her or him. It sounds like she had pushed it all down, just like most women (or anyone that are being abused dose) she was doing the something she always did. Cleaning it up and acting like nothing's happened. If you don't cover up the abuse enough and someone asks about it. You would be beaten worse. She was in that fog and in shock.

We learned in law school, any accused person who shows no emotion isn’t doing themselves any favors with jurors.

She seems guilty to me. But I never told anyone about my abusive ex husband for 15 years. No one knew. I felt ashamed. Finally I’m speaking out after leaving him ...now I have my voice!

So that's what they call it now. "yard work" Hatcheting your husband to death, is "yard work.

It is very suspicious that she did not call the police right away and tried to cover it up. If it was self defense she had no reason to call the police right away. She butchered him to death she didn't just strike him once or twice. Also if she was truly abused for decades there would have been signs or proof.

Listen to the freaking judge! He has many years of experience and definitely paid attention to all the evidence!

The juror’s comment that it was unbelievable that Nancy went to Home Depot to buy the hatchet, at night, on a stormy night, in the rain? People buy tools so they can use them later all the time. I go to Lowe’s and Home Depot at night, after work so I can buy a tool so the next time I have time off that week and plan on doing yard work I have the tool I need to do that work! Its not unusual or an obvious sign of premeditation...

She snapped from the years and years and years of horrible emotional abuse.PTSD PTSD PTSD. My heart goes out to her.

Why would you not think about calling the cops. I mean yeah you might be in shock but regardless you gotta call the cops

I don’t know what happened. But when you commit a Manson type murder. It’s murder

I had written to her and also to the judge in her defense. 38 years of abuse mental and physical That Could Have Been Me also except for the Lord protecting me!

Why wasnt this self defense? She needs a better lawyer

Lies lies lies

This woman is screwed up

Let her out

She was abused for 31 years she cried for 31 yrs. The crime she committed was against herself that she did not get help. But if she had he possibly would have killed her long ago.

Being abused, male or female, you actions are different, some of the story sounds far fetched, but who really knows? Be nice and good with each other, or get out.

I lost 4 members of my family to a domestic abuser. It wasn't until my niece finally said i had enough of the controlling behavior, did he murder her, their child and her parents. Domestic abuse is not taken seriously enough in this world.

She's where she belongs. Soon as she wrapped his body up without calling for help.This women got caught in multiple lie's!!

There might of been abuse. But she planned his death

She didn't mention that the hatchet was in a sheath. She had to unsheathe it to do the damage she done. There's also the fact there's CCTV of her stealing a second hatchet. Guilty as sin.

She guilty my mother was in domestic violence a lot she cut a man across his chest and then called 911 right after I don't believe this woman at all

Sociopaths make good actors. You can’t deny it.

The one thing she said that I believe is that he was an abuser.

Judge is a certified legend.

Let her out.

100% shouldn’t have been convicted

That juror talks with her teeth clenched- tense much?

It's a blatant lie

Megyn Kelly ....LOL sure she regrets her choices!!

Dear God Judge spend some money on your teeth for heavens sake.

She is guilty, and is exactly where she deserves to be. She did it with the hatchet purposely, so everyone would say, why would she be so stupid to buy it the previous day, blah blah blah....as far as a motive, sometimes it doesn't always have to make sense to the outsider.

I believe her m release her . Bob was a bad bad man
