He's a Liar
Mehki_Girl19 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I'm watching this and what I see is a manipulator and liar. He's practiced at looking sad and walking slowly for the cameras.

The hotel manager said he was calm when he came downstairs to declare that his wife had committed suicide; however, when he got upstairs and her body was lying there, he wasn't satisfied with how he left the scene and so he becomes bereft, he gives a performance, he's begging for her to return to life even though he claimed that he had given her CPR and he knew she was dead because he had already said she committed suicide.

A husband and a wife are in a room, she's having an affair, the boyfriend has called several times. One ends up dead.

The other one, who's still alive, claims he was gentle, he just pushed her back a little bit, his hand is scratched up, it's bleeding and somehow with all this adrenaline in the room, he falls asleep.

Bull.

The ego on this guy is unmistakable, there is no way they didn't get into an argument about this other man and he killed her. Intentionally? I don't think so, but he certainly caused her death.

Besides the fact that he had a motive and they were the only two in the room and she had bruises on her face., I believe he's guilty and he's a liar and a manipulator because of the way he relates the story like many guilty people do. - he tells the story, whereby it's always her.

He had one little coffee with cognac, but she had two drinks. He was calm, but she was erratic. She was kissing him, then she was pushing him away. She was drawing him close and then she was pushing him back. She was erratic, but he was calm.

He's just an innocent little babe in the woods. But, it's all her, her, her - all victim blaming. The victim caused her own death. Meanwhile, he's just the hapless husband, who fell asleep and woke up to find his wife dead. Oh whoa is me. I just fell asleep and woke up to find my wife dead.

I also believe that the noises everyone heard was them making love, and while he had her in a prone position and he was on top of her, it turned into rape.

This is not at all uncommon. You're in a vulnerable position. The man is angry with you and he gets you in a vulnerable position, where you're naked and he has the advantage of being over you and now he's going to treat you roughly, pin you down, and show you who's boss.

And when you start to realize what's happening and you want him to get off you, he's going to hold you down and he's going to continue and he's going to show you who's in power. Him, not you.

He killed her. Albeit, even I'm willing to bet it was unintentional and unplanned. I'll give him that, but he definitely killed her. He was certainly the cause of her death, even if you don't want to use the word murder.

Innocent until proven guilty?

Decent episode, information flowed well and good use of archival footage, especially the actual interview. Interesting questions raised on both sides.
