The point of the trial is not, did she kill her husband. The answer to that is undeniably , yes, she did. The trial is to decide whether it was it negligent under the law. The other issues with her brother in law and family issues don't play into this case. That would be of concern if this was a murder trial but it isn't, it's merely was the killing negligent or not?

My humble opinion, yes, it was terribly negligent to have fired that shot. Per her own statements she did not even know what she was shooting at other than a "large black thing." She stated that the shot was fired after sunset and two reenactments showed she couldn't identify her target. That's negligent in my opinion at the very least. Not sure of the law but the court will decide soon.

That she profited from this accident, was under financial stress before it, and has since reportedly taken up with the victim's brother seems to me rather interesting. I guess the glove didn't fit.
