Not necessarily. Ashley wasn’t around when Amma was trying to seduce her boyfriend at the pool at her house. Made it pretty clear that they would go over there and hang out whether Ashley was around or not

Yeah but she had the bite marks on her ear and knew about the blood under the bed. Unless she actually thought John was the murderer and was willing to try to scrub evidence for him.

Idk, for as much as she craved attention I could see her turning John in as soon as she had evidence against him to get her 15 minutes

I was wondering the same thing. Lots of details have been left out because you know...whatever.




Bc if thats the case, you just have two unsolved murders that nobody really cares about.

There would be no evidence that Adora killed the girls. It would just be a "well she poisoned her daughters so she must haved killed the girls." That doesnt work. ALl theyd have to do is have a medical examiner show that the murdered girls werent poisoned.

did yall actually watch the show? they found the pliers used to pull the girls teeth, so they were charging her with murder of the 2 girls.

yes, and thats not enough to get an old woman convicted of a brutal, physical murder of two girls. not in real life at least, in this fantasy dream world yea I guess.

Just a non hater, honest question: Was Adora being charged with the murder of the girls or just attempted murder of Camille and Amma?


the entire reason they handcuffed Adora was when they found the bloody pliers

and then the cop mentioned later that they matched the blood to the girls

I guess they would've address that part in court. At the time, they had all the evidence they needed to put the cuffs on her....especially since they knew she was drugging her kids. Who's to say she didn't drug the other two and then pull their teeth out after? Or maybe she had help but that wasn't important at that particular time in the story.

Anyone want to take a stab at why what appeared to be the Ann Nash investigative file was in a bag on the upper floor of the Crellin house?

alright.

well if that is all they got, then that is a super weak argument.

obviously its partially a murder weapon, strike one. but a defense is going to easily point out that in no way did Adora have the strength to kill the girls, pull their teeth, strangle them and who knows what else they did. its possible that she doesnt even have fingerprints on them, was she dumb enough to carry around some bloody pliers and keep them in the kitchen. theres no physical evidence or dna other than the pliers to match her to the girls (although the cops around there are way too dumb to even think about a dna test). and honestly her poising the girls is a defense for her against a brutal murder, thats not the style of killing she has been shown to do.

her defense is much stronger than her prosecution.

fair enough. i just think if you look at it from a what would happen in court, based off what we know, it's not enough to convict her for the two dead girls. from my standpoint, and I have watched a TON of Dateline and 20/20 and its unbelievable how many people get let off despite having a lot of evidence going against them.

although that sounds like a "i stayed at a holiday inn express last night" argument from me lol

this.

i think paired that she poisoned 3 of her own daughters, being close with the 2 girls and bloody pliers that matched their DNA was enough circumstantial evidence to convict.

It's not like she was going on trial that night. The DA still has time to build a case.

She has a habit of trying to kill teenage girls and has the fricking murder weapon(ish?). That's plenty of evidence to arrest her.

Wonder how many "AHA!" moments/easter eggs throughout the series that we could discover knowing the end result of Amma being the killer, the most blatantly obvious one being Amma saying "My friends would do anything for me" in an earlier episode and those same friends warning the chief not to be sexist about the previous epsiode (when he assumed a potential drunk driver to be a man) as the town also widely assumed the killer was male.

I knew the plot was about to twist as soon as that little girl's mom showed up to the apartment looking for her. Lots of people complaining about how abrupt the ending was, but between the end credits scene + information you can gather from the book ending, it should be sufficient. Series was very slow at times, but the payoff was worth it and the acting was superb.

Overall I am okay with how it ended. Don't love that we were basically told only a guy could pull the teeth and now we are expected to believe Amma did it unless I am missing something

Not sure if I saw it on here or reddit, but at the dinner scene last night she asks Camille if she would rather her or John die when talking about the death penalty.

People can give you crap if they want, but these things are absolutely true.

I feel like this was an okay show. Then the ending was hit with the current trend of internet overreacting to everything, saying how incredible the ending was.

Just because they waited until the last 10 seconds of the show, and then a quick credit sequence, to somewhat explain some of what happened, doesn’t make it an incredible ending. As you said, that seems to be the m.o. of the woman who wrote this.

I’m also not on board with the “I don’t want to know what happened” people. I don’t watch shows and movies to make up my own stories of what may have happened. It’s a cop out to not have to tell a full story, and is eaten up by people who want to make everyone think they are super sophisticated.
