Melanie McGuire Diaries

48 Hours this past Saturday ran the Melanie McGuire story. Thanks to the people on the Court TV message boards for letting me know it was on. You’ve asked for my opinion of the show, and I promised to share it with you.

I wrote my opinion about Melanie McGuire back when Primetime told her story in late June. After watching the 48 Hour video diaries episode of Melanie this past weekend, my opinion hasn’t changed. I still see a manipulative, psychopathic murderess.

The only thing that stood out in the 48 Hours show was that Melanie couldn’t hide her incredible hatred and despisal for those around her. Before the trial in the Primetime interview, Melanie was still hopeful she was going to get away with murder. Even when she started taping the video diaries, she was hopeful –playing her part of the innocent person — loving the attention — believing she could fool the world.

But as the trial went on, and it looked worse and worse for Melanie, she couldn’t contain her feelings. She realized she was losing control in her manipulative game and with that, expressions of pure hatred and despisal came over her. They flashed like wicked lightening.

If looks could kill, people would have dropped like flies in the courtroom and during interviews with 48 Hours. Her looks certainly caused my heart to race more than once. Did you see it?

It was bone-chilling as is Ms. McGuire.
