yeah i would leave

@Blake Pariseau Yeah I am selfish. Do I care how you judge me, holier than thou?

@Blake Pariseau dude if the sacrifice require a leg I don't think that's right----- well if you're joking you got me tho-

I'd run away

@@TheRetirednavy92 One young girl I was in love with tried to emasculate me by doing make-up on my face and asking me to sit on her lap at parties. Then she suggested that when we marry, I should change my name into hers. Given my state of mind at the time, I knew I would have followed through. All those steps are legit, but given that society is not accustomed to that, I would be left in the cold like a fool now if we had divorced after that. I am happy that we broke up before that. Wow, we d so much for love which can be detrimental.

We laughed aloud as well...it was the perfectly deadpan delivery that got us!

@@IndrasChildDeepAsleep she wasn't complaining

That’s what was bugging me too. I was wondering what here poison was (No pun intended lol) she must have had some kind of chemical addiction of some sort to push her to such extreme evil. Maybe it was just shopping 🛍 woman are suckers for it (some men too) my e she got herself an opium habit or alcohol 🍹. Killing your own children though, come on.

Absolutely what I thought

Yeah her greed got her caught. She wasn’t very smart, if she invested the money she scammed wisely, she could have lived well

@Q I'm not sure that's true, although "budgeting" isn't the word I'd necessarily use when it comes to managing wealth. But having a sense of how far your money will actually go- its value, and how to maximize this- would be key. Lottery winners who aren't financially literate and don't visit financial planners or make wise investments but opt instead to buy mansions and luxury vehicles for all their family members usually end up broke.

@Q exactly

Probably was just trying to convince him to do it so because artery in the let would be an easy way to bleed out....

@@lovejoy7065 Psychology is so interesting. I read somewhere that there are a lot of sociopaths in the world but not all of them kill. And I don't know if sociopaths can also be Psychopaths or if it's one or the other.

Haha yes he's reading his script like a child reading aloud for the first time.

Not really. Ppl work everyday without a limb, etc and live happily ever after-

@@kimmccabe1422 Yeah, missing a leg or any other limb means the work you can do and get hired for is limited. Just because disabled people work and are happy doesn't mean they have the same amount of options as someone who isn't disabled.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Glad you made it!

That's one of my biggest fears. I could never even consider it.

Ikr!! It would have to take an imbecil to even fall for her idea then go ahead and do it. Good grief!!

I’ve only read one other instance where someone cut off their own limb by choice. They had become trapped by a boulder in a remote mountain area and realized starvation was imminent and rescue doubtful so they cut off their leg. THAT was warranted. THIS is just insanity!

@@Cuddlefishluv it was his arm not leg

@@beaniebaby1208 Thank you. I probably need to change it to “limb” to be more accurate. In any case, it’s still insane. 😳 Hope you have a blessed day.

Exactly !

@M. Anthony C. I correct this statement all the time.

Mmmmm.... money is evil. People like this SHOULD be held accountable but we should also take note of WHY they felt the need to do these things so they don’t happen again.

@The_Jaguar_ Knight it is what the bible says

Along with her trust in murder, apparently.

i guess they didn't have a leg to stand on

@@swish6754 Exactly . I agree with you , her trust in murder too .

Good for you! However marrying for money is not the problem per se. Many people in history participated in arranged marriages with not much issues. You have to be a special kind of sick to end up with as much bloodshed as Martha did.

I have a bit of a parable: no matter how rich monetarily or how resplendent one may be able to live here on earth, we all die as poor & penniless as any hobo on skidrow bc u can't take it w/ u & u surely can't buy ur way n2 heaven, but u certainly can n2 hell.

I was a very young mother. I had four children by the time I was 26 years old and I learned a valuable lesson that I pass on to people. The only thing a child really wants in life is to know that their parents love them and that only comes by spending time having fun with them. All the store bought things don’t matter if you don’t say, “I love you at the end of every day!”

If you had little resources why were you irresponsible enough to have four children. Its fiscally stupid and just cruel to have a child born in guaranteed poverty.

Ingrid Dubbel You must be very young and single. I started having children at 19 and it was because my first husband threatened to kill me if I did not marry him and beat me up every day for two and half years before I finally got help to get away from him. And the only children who are born to parents to “Guaranteed Poverty” are from parents who were never told go succeed in life. And that you can have do and be anything you want in life. As far as the past, because birth control was illegal in many countries until 1947 and it was seen as a gift from God to bring children to the earth. Yes statistically you are right most young teenage moms and their children do not fare very well these days. However because I had a very good education my children were not raised in poverty and now three of them own their own business and one makes a lot of money being an underwater welder.

Many wards suffered a similar fate unfortunately, it was sometimes a way of trafficking children under a respectable cloak of charity.

I wondered if there wasn't more to that, as well.

Natalie Palmer - I wonder if it was more Martha’s idea. She likely seduced the poor old man in order to get at his money. Either way, you’re right, it’s definitely creepy.

Jim Wright she was evil in many ways, however, a little girl cannot just seduce an old man. The adult should not only know better but do better as well. His actions have nothing to do with wheat that little girl may or may not have done. And that being said, I do not think it was her idea

You can't judge these people by our standards today.. that was common habits back then.. besides there's were motives on each end

Hello, Yes I know of too many cases of people committing awful acts to get money :(

Many of the rich, or their family founders, have done things not all that different from her to get where they are now. There aren't a lot of innocent people in this world.

Seems like people can do anything to get rich... Except working

@@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz Okay? That doesn't really have anything to do with the original comment

@@ct6410 ^ ditto on this

Ct, at that time that was very common. Most woman got married at 15 and usually with old men.

@@amylove5431 I learned that neat little fact about the "good old days", when I was in fifth grade, reading The Color Purple. How they (families) would marry the daughters off.. Fun fact, ain't it....

@William Rackham u could have save ur whining for something or someone else. Especially since it has zero to do with my post. Good try tho

It wouldn't have helped at all. She was a sociopath. You know that, right? She didn't even shrink from killing her own little children for money.

Um... Why did you watch it three times?? Getting ideas? Lol strange.....

Lol I had to listen to it four times because I couldnt believe people could be so stupid. I laughed then almost cried.

Well, I don't think that the death pleantly is much "karma" as many of these people actually deserve (otherwise, I agree 100%)....

Crystal Floyd I think he was punished because he agreed to be bribed and even accepted money. He became greedy for more money and when he did not get it, he blew the whistle. ThAt what was explained in the video.

The most bewildering thing to me is, the jury found them innocent of fraud but guilty of trying to bribe whistleblower? Huh? Obviously, they would, by definition, have to be connected. They were trying to bribe the surgeon to assist them in their fraud. So jury says, ``yeah, they shouldn't have bribed surgeon, [for what: fraud,] but they're innocent of fraud?

@@quickchris10comcast I mean I can imagine someone desperate enough, who had legitimately had an accident, bribing someone to minimize evidence to the contrary. Bribing someone would be sketchy but not necessarily proof that an accident wasn’t an accident, especially considering how distressing the potential loss of income would be if you had legitimately accidentally chopped of your leg.

Hi Mort 😊! You're right, that's a very dark and interesting case; I have a book, it's called "Mord in Wien" ("Murder in Vienna"), where this case is included.

I know which case you are talking about . Both the mother and son were given the death sentence but the son's was later commuted . The mother and son were shamelessly carrying on an incestuous affair . They killed the son's young wife when she found out . The mother was beheaded by axe . The execution was partly botched as the axe passed out from her lower jaw instead of cutting off her head !! Gruesome !

Thallium can only enter the body in a compound, i.e. a salt. They described it a bit wrong. I wonder how the boy was supposedly saved after he had received the thallium. Even modern medicine can do little once it has been distributed into all tissues.
