I didn't mean that to be a reply, I wanted it be a comment, sorry for the double post.

Seems like it is kinda odd to want to hear about how she took out the judge or whatever.

Look at the situation...his wife was cheating on him with another man, and he was caught outside his house with the same gun that was used to kill him.

So, he was caught with a gun that fired the shots that killed the guy, he was immediately outside of his house, and he had the motive of him having stolen his girl.

There isn't a court on earth that would have found a guy innocent with all that evidence.

I like the song and think it is quite entertaining...but the character that Vicki plays is kinda deranged. Not only does she murder someone in cold blood, she seems to have absolved her guilt in the matter despite being directly responsible for all the events that went down, choosing instead to blame it on everyone else.

@asugar I agree, except that brother was taken, tried and hung. There’d be no time for forensics. I assumed 2 guns. Could be 1 but I doubt it.notessential since there was no time for ballistics. Judge needed supper. Hangry?
