Her time never seemed right to me. Guilty, but her association with Perkins resulted in a ridiculous sentence.


I don't recall if this is 100% accurate, but I seem to vaguely recall that a pretty reasonable deal was offered... something like 10 years. Or trial and face mandatory minimum life for the specific charge she had. She gambled thinking her "i was drugged" defense would work and lost.

Tough call if you feel you're truly innocent, but given the outrage at the time, she was probably facing a stacked deck.

Well maybe she believed she would be found not guilty. If nothing else she at least has a new trial.

And reading the opinion, she may have been committing adultery and certainly has some culpability in her actions but with the new evidence it might show the other woman, who was Perkins wife at the time, consented and may have even encouraged the three way then when she was identified in the video denied and played the victim card.

The video was found after Perkins was arrested so this woman might have thought she was going to be brought into the middle of it even possibly being a suspect.

I think she lied and let Curtin take the fall.

Licking the vagina of an unconscious woman is a life sentence. The law is the law.

Don’t have much sympathy for Melanie Curtin. What kind of meth whore white trash brings their child with them to the neighbors then has a 3 sum with the neighbors?

Mom of the year there.
