I live in the same county, and I don't think anybody thought much of it at the time, because there wasn't any info out on it. It was only after she wrote the children's book, and THEN she was arrested, that all of this stuff came out, and it became a sensation.

When he died, it was just some guy you never heard of, dying in his sleep. I don't know that it even made the local paper, except perhaps in the obits.

So I guess I should say that when "everybody knew she was guilty," that is to say, everybody knew once the Summit County Sherriff arrested her and put it all out there.

Glad the two options for sentencing are 25 to life, or life without parole, as well! No 10 years and out for this chick.
