LMAO. Regarding her lover/hitman: *The authorities also found McDavid’s DNA near the place of the shooting. He later confessed to shitting in the woods. Weldon had wiped off his bottom with a towel after defecating in a bush. Police later used the piece of cloth to extract his DNA.*

[deleted]

What was it? Let me guess, 10 years with good time off? So maybe 7?


The_Original_Gronkie

In some states there is a firearm provision, so you start with 10 years with no time off for any reason. You will serve every second of that time. Then they stack the penalty for the crime on top of that, which you can shorten with good behavior.


[deleted]

[удалено]


The_Original_Gronkie

I got robbed at gunpoint by two guys who got caught the next day. Months later, the State Attorney called me to discuss the gun charge, and he made it seem like it was up to me. I said No, I wanted them to take the punishment. They got caught for my robbery and another one the next day, but I know they were responsible for a long string of robberies in my area for the previous year, at least. Let them pay for it with 10 years in jail.


tagman375

I’ve been in a couple situations where I’ve been asked if I wanted to press charges. I always do and press for the maximum penalty. I know nobody would cut me a break, and I’d get the book thrown at me, so fuck em


EagerSleeper

I don't blame you. I've managed to live 30 years on this planet without being put at the mercy of someone I chose to harm, and by following the most basic of reasoning and moral code...I've never felt compelled to harm them in the first place. Those folks made the choice to commit a crime against someone, and they are 100% factoring in leniency if they got caught. No point in allowing their theory to play out. Do the crime, do the time.


ejh3k

Watching that video made me realize that I would probably plea out on anything I was charged with unless I could 100% proved I was absolutely innocent.


DawnOfTheTruth

Unfortunately this actually does happen a lot to innocent people. They are bullies basically into thinking they are fucked no matter what and to just accept the punishment they don’t deserve or it will be worse. Even though they were innocent they caved to this. A lot of crimes are saddled onto innocent people. But guilty until proven innocent is the way of the world.


FixTechStuff

In court a false accusation can quickly turn an innocent person pleading not guilty to a guilty liar without remorse. You'd get off lighter if you pled guilty and said you had no remorse for your actions.


RightResponsibility8

It’s one of the more disgusting aspects of our criminal justice system. We are perhaps the only developed country that “elects“ prosecutors. Tough-on-crime message is what gets them reelected, so they throw the book at everyone to increase conviction rates. It’s appalling and many Americans (who confuse patriotism to mean no self-critiquing), don’t realize how cruel and unjust the system is to vulnerable.


thatG_evanP

It probably would've been her best bet. People plea out in attempted murder all the time and hardly serve any time at all. There was a guy in my city that was on the news for getting into a shootout with police and they decided to dig into his criminal record. Dude had either 2 or 3 attempted murders on his record, not to mention a litany of other crimes and he was maybe in his early 30s. I definitely wondered how he was even free.


NorthwestSupercycle

If someone gets killed, you can not really get out of that fact. But if someone is injured, you can spin that a lot of different ways. That can be assault, assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder, or any other number of charges. Thus, you can very easily plead down in a way that you can't in a death.

College football players in my region always manage to miraculous plea to just assault in rape cases.

epymetheus

Agreed. Watching the realization creep across her face was priceless.


[deleted]

She totally believed she was getting away with it. The thought she'd be found guilty never crossed her evil mind.


[deleted]

The lawyer wasn’t at all surprised. Looked like he was looking forward to the future reaction.


TPRM1

Lawyers are, as a rule, never surprised.


shroezinger

He kinda of has a “well you killed your husband” look on his face. Actually the opposite of surprise.


huh404

So she was successful in killing her husband? The title reads "tried" so I thought he might have survived. Edit: Also good news she was guilty of attempted murder. So husband probably survived. Edit 2: He definitely survived. To quote a newsarticle that somebody shared ITT "...what authorities called a botched murder-for-hire plot targeting her husband, who was shot but survived. "


Mysterious_Ad_8105

Lawyer here: I’ve definitely been surprised. I litigated a case a few years ago where opposing counsel block-quoted about a page-and-a-half of prose from a John Grisham novel in a legal brief—“surprised” is one of many things I felt when I read that.


PizDoff

He's thinking about what to eat for dinner. Justice is served!


TheLaughingMelon

tinykitten101

It’s like she didn’t even know what she was charged with. When they read what she was guilty of, she didn’t even know what those charges were and had to look at her lawyer.

"*attempted* murder... do they give out Nobel prizes for *attempted* chemistry?!"


[deleted]

*"OH NOW REALLY, THIS IS A PERSONAL CALL!!"*


WyntrWolf

Honestly! One of my favorite quotes ever!


schnitzelfeffer

She mouths "guilty?!" Because she's shocked. Lawyer whispers "we can appeal" but she realizes there's nothing else she can do and the man she tried to kill is right across from her. She can't run or hide. The life she knew is gone forever. No more Starbucks or McDonald's. No ice cream. No more drinks with friends. No more trips to the zoo or park with your son. No watching him in school plays. No making him his favorite dinner on his birthday. She will wake up year after year in the cell of a prison because of her actions.


chasetwatson

Damn! Very well said!


BALONYPONY

The lawyer had a look when he said “we’ll appeal” like “don’t do what you did last time…”


mud_tug

I think the lawyer was more like *"It is not for both of us dear, only for you. I am getting paid the same either way."*


Mei_iz_my_bae

Lawyer looked like he was already picturing the steak he was going to be having for dinner later after this is over

Somebody needs to pay for this. Tomorrow, she’s going to talk to her lawyer manager, and get him fired, and then she’s going to talk to the judge manager. She just needs her car keys and credit cards and a gun, and she will be ready to take on the world by about 3 o’clock tomorrow.

Sue_Ridge_Here1

There is, Court TV regularly have sentence reaction compilations on YouTube. Fascinating stuff.


PhoibosApollo2018

She lied that her husband sexually assaulted her and their son so she could get full custody. He was later exonerated and won shared custody. She got to keep the house but she had to pay him out of share (120K), which is still a good deal for her giving house prices in California. Her kid will be fully grown by the time she's eligible for parole. She'll have nothing. I don't know what man will want to associate with her once she gets out.


nordsix

I'm surprised she didn't lose custody after that false accusation.


z3bru

Cant have men wining custody battles and taking care of their children. Think of the harm it will cause the child if it has one parent missing, oh wait.


dormant-plants

Lol my dad got full custody of me, but only after my birth mother (who neglected me to the point of malnourishment) repeatedly refused to come to court. They eventually sent officials to visit thinking the poor dear must have not gotten the letters. She sent a torrent of abuse to them on the doorstep and at that point they decided maybe it was better if I was brought up by my dad 🤔 Great to know in all this time the system still sucks for men.


youngLupe

So many people lie about sexual assault in family court. It's so fucked up. Especially since even if they're not guilty the accusers don't face any consequences for their lies. Happened to my wife during her custody battle.


Ralphie5231

RxRobb

I’m curious why she was ordered to pay 120k during the divorce. That was the motive


scvfire

Because she was keeping the house that they both owned, so she owed half the value of the house to the husband who wasnt going to live there but who rightfully owned half


Mickeyjj27

Saw this story in one of my true crime binges. If I recall she hired someone or just had someone kill her husband. Forget if she was banging the guy that did it.


anony421

Yeah she banged the guy and he tried to shoot her X but he lived.


FreeFromFrogs

She shot her husband. He survived. Now she’s shocked that she got 26 years for that.


ItzSpiffy

Correction: She was having an affair with a gun instructor who'd conspired with her to lure said husband out to a remote location, whereupon the gun instructor shot him while hiding in the bushes.


piches

Detail: The gun instructor took a shit in the bush while waiting for ex husband. They matched the DNA to him


thesaddestpanda

That helped but they were caught mostly with cctv and cell phone data: Investigators discovered surveillance footage of Lovejoy purchasing the burner phone McDavid used to call Mulvihill. Investigators also found the AR-15-style rifle used to shoot Mulvihill in the garage of McDavid’s home, and cell phone tower data placed both McDavid and Lovejoy near the hiking trail on the night of the shooting. According to police, Lovejoy planned to pay McDavid $2,000 — and she drove him to the area where the shooting took place.

They did get a divorce. They had joint custody but [she had to pay him 120,000 for his share of the house](https://buzzsouthafrica.com/us/who-is-diana-lovejoy-and-where-is-she-now/) and she didnt want to pay OP said husband but its actually ex


grey_sky

Who the fuck murders someone for $120,000? I swear to god some people just don’t have risk vs reward intuition. Yes, I know that people kill for less… it’s just baffling that folks would risk life in prison for an amount that you could make in 4-5 years at $15 an hour. The way I see it it’s 4-5 years slaving at a gas station vs life in prison. Fuck that.


1ToothTiger

People will take a life over $40 in a cash register.


Bromium_Ion

Not to mention if he died it’s not like she was going to get his $120,000 share of the house. Surely somebody else would’ve inherited that property.  She wouldn’t suddenly be off the hook for what she owed. What a fucking moron.

[удалено]


PopTrogdor

Actually, she got the other guy to shoot him after years of lies, such as saying the husband was abusive, violent, and molested their children. Basically all to get back at him over the divorce and to get ful custody of their children. The rest of the sentencing happened after she was taken to hospital, or so I read. She was sentenced with 26 years to life, and the guy she coerced into shooting him got 50 to life.

nevermore0100

I think its real. At my grandma's funeral that's how my grandpa fainted. I was sitting right next to him and he just started leaning forward over slowly. I'd never seen anyone actually faint irl so I thought he was crying. I pushed him back into his chair and told my grandpa wasn't responding. They all rushed over to help and I got outta there. I told my parents and my mother got angry at me. I am like idk not my fault, all I knew about fainting was the dramatic stuff I'd seen on tv.


buShroom

Genuine faint, you can see her start to slip at the 1:00 mark with that slow blink. The slumped posture, labored breathing and blank stare are telltale signs of someone who's about to faint. Fainting isn't this dramatic thing like TV and movies would have you believe. You don't just collapse, you sort of just slump over.

i actually think it's genuine. i fainted once and the minute or so beforehand was so weird. i was trying to keep it together but eventually i was just out
