Killer Sally is the perfect documentary that shows how bad reputation can act like gasoline to your problems.
I honestly think that the documentary pays too much lip service to Sally and victimhood. It brings up how victimhood can just excuse the trial. The documentary isn't about rational truth, it's about Sally's story as she wants it.
Everyone that goes into military suddenly has PTSD and blames all their problems on it. Sorry, I guess all combat vets are ticking timebomb. Therapy just doesn't exist in 2000s it seems.
I think that she is a manipulator who tried to use every excuse in the book and even though some justice was found she still got away with public sympathy even though this woman shoot her husband twice with a shotgun that needed to be reloaded... the prosecution was absolutely right about that and the journalists are absolutely willing to bend over for victimhood excuse because that is what sells these days, it seems....
At the end of the documentary, I laugh, I was imagining her living in a cat lady house in the middle of nowhere trying to treat her PTSD and abuse (I was so wrong!) there she is on a beach with target sorry husband #3 less than 2 years after she was released. That Prison time really fixed her PTSD and trauma from getting abused by the nightmarish Ray. She could just flip the switches off in her brain and start again, just like that... even her son couldn't do that.
Maybe she did get a lot of help, maybe she has the right attitude to get back on her feet. But the one thing I got from this documentary is that this woman did NOT get as battered as she says she was or can't act it out at all. There are just no lasting signs, no proof of it : you lived to take your clothes off and train at the gym every week, not even one person at the gym saw you in a training bra and questioned why you have bruises on your neck? In the 90s?! After OJ Simpson trial?!
