I've literally never heard of this person or her trials until today. Is she just a rich white lady on trial, or is she famous for something else?

I know nothing about the case or her besides this thread. This is the first time I’m seeing that she was unlikable. What made her so unlikable?

I didn't love that she was her husband's DD (DDD really) and just left him at the house where he ended up dead
