Wow that’s just crazy!! There was a similar kinda story like this where an author wrote about a murder and it was found that he says things in the book about this murder that wasn’t released to the public and was eventually arrested for the murder based solely on the book

Her grief was… surprisingly manageable for the first three years.

Year later she published a book about getting caught about killing her husband after publishing a book about the grief from the death of her husband

Ma’am your husband died yesterday and you already have a book to publish?

Murdering your spouse doesn’t have to be just a crime. It can also open up pathways to new revenue streams not previously accessible.

Her professor is like, “I didn’t mean ‘write what ya know’ quite that literally…”

What a god damn piece of trash this woman is. To only get 25 years for premeditated murder is insane.

If you’re into court videos there’s a lot of coverage on this case, her lawyer was absolutely horrendous.

The odd part is she didn’t write it. A ghostwriter did it.
That fact came out during the trial.

“Found responsible for his death” just doesn’t have the same ring as “convicted of his murder.”

My sister bought her book to read with my nieces/nephews after my mom died. The story was so surreal.

A real farm to table story.

Maybe that was her way of coping?? Gurl that’s wild

She was painfully obvious about it wasn’t she? Like I recall her going on a news show to promote her book and telling her share of events the night he died and people called in like ‘she clearly poisoned him, right? you should probably get someone to investigate that’

She also sent memes to her boyfriend shortly after her husbands death. She tried and failed to kill him once before. SHE WROTE A LETTER IN JAIL TRYING TO TELL HER FAMILY WHAT TO SAY AS WITNESSES (then claimed it was a part of a novel she was working on)
(I watched the Emily D. Baker coverage of the trial so no single source to link, its more a broad gesture toward her YT channel)
