检察官Fern Larochelle认为Amy对事件的描述前后矛盾,Mark想结束婚姻是导致暴力事件的导火索。他强调了刀伤的深度和Amy的记忆缺失,并提出Amy蓄意谋杀Mark的推测。他指出邻居听到Mark的尖叫声而Amy却没听到,这很可疑。 Amy的辩护律师Howard则认为Amy儿子记错了,她手里拿的是磁力工具,而不是刀;Mark抓了她的头发,她腿上的伤是踢打持刀袭击者的结果。他强调Amy没有意识到伤势的严重性,并质疑地上的血迹是否属于Amy。 Cindy作为Mark的妻子,坚信Amy蓄意杀害Mark,即使并非预谋,但她的意图是杀害Mark。 Susan作为Mark的朋友和同事,认为Mark是一个温和的人,从没见过他与人争吵或冲突,Amy的自卫说法与她认识的Mark不符。 陪审员Trish认为Amy的行为举止不可信,她像个被抓住的孩子一样试图脱身。她指出Amy将刀洗干净,清洗桌子上的血迹,而不是查看Mark的情况,这很可疑。她还认为没有获得Amy过去暴力行为的信息,这会改变一些人的观点。 检察官Jeffrey Rushlow在Amy第二次审判中,提供了Amy袭击Mark和警官的证据,以及她对汽车的损坏。 法官在两次审判中都对Amy的行为和说法进行了评价,并最终做出了判决。

2004 - Waldoboro, Maine.

In June of 2004, 39-year-old Mark Dugas was stabbed with a kitchen knife in his home by his wife, Amy Dugas in front of her son. Though she claimed the incident happened in self-defense, she was arrested and charged with his murder.

Mark’s family and friends were determined to bring the truth to light: that Mark's death was the result of escalating domestic violence.

As the midcoast Maine community rallied together to bring awareness to a side of domestic violence not often seen, a contentious trial unfolded in the courthouse.

In this episode, you’ll hear from a member of the jury who said they didn’t get the full story during the trial; and what they didn’t know had a huge impact on the verdict.

This is part 2 of 2 of Mark Dugas’ story.
