People thought she seduced him and used sex to make him kill her husband.

The courtroom was absolutely packed. You have Rob's family and friends on one side, Sabrina's friends and family on the other side. And everyone, everyone in that room was very anxious.

She was facing first-degree murder, conspiracy, solicitation, the poisoning charge, attempted murder, and accessory after the fact.

I could not imagine Sabrina's family and Robert's family being on even remotely good terms.

I think so much of what went down in this case had to do with... what Rob Lamone's family wanted. To them, Jonathan Hearn wasn't the one who betrayed them and Rob Lamone, right? The betrayal for them was with Sabrina. So if you're Sabrina's family, you could imagine how they might look at Robert's family and think, yeah, you guys are... a huge part of why she's in there.

People could not get enough. As soon as we started live streaming opening statements, I mean, we were blown away by literally thousands of people during the day, all day, were just glued to it. I mean, they wanted to see every single second of this. People who were typically watching soap operas now were watching this trial.

Essentially, the law says if you are under the age of 26 at the time of your offense, you are eligible for parole after serving a full 14 years. It's possible he'll be denied parole, but... Based on everything that we know about what they're looking for at parole hearings, he's checking all the boxes for being a model inmate.

It is no coincidence that Sabrina Limon was arrested just days before her former lover was scheduled to go on trial for her husband's murder.

That is, but, but, um, routinely, Legal professionals will do this. So her attorneys are definitely going to and they did in their in their documentation. They use very inflammatory language. You know, they you know, they make it seem like it's a conspiracy that on an absolute lack of evidence. It's like, OK, listen, none of those things are the case.
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep08: They Saw You
And incidentally, did you know that attorneys, whenever they put those briefs together or they put something together, they file for the court, there's no burden on them to tell the truth. Okay, if it's an affidavit and somebody signs their name to it, there is a burden then, but it's on whoever's declaring that or swearing to it, right?
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep08: They Saw You
No, absolutely. And it just goes to, like, the case being dismissed does not give you the answer as to if she did it or not. You know, it just doesn't. I think we all wish that it could because we want to know. Like, it's just human nature. You want to know. Right. Is the child sick or not?
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep08: They Saw You
But there's no legal requirement, and it happens all the time. These attorneys know that. So they can grotesquely falsify information when they put it in these documents like that. And they do that to be very inflammatory, to make, oh, we're going to get real excited now, now that we see that.
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep08: They Saw You
And as complicated as this is, if you were to hand any one of these cases, I think, to a very, very good and capable family law attorney or defense attorney today, because of how limited the professionals are, the judges and everybody in their understanding, they're going to be very effective at arguing it. So I'm not surprised to see that.

And obviously, I think we all probably just need to keep it in our Rolodex. I believe that this child in this case, that her condition is going to worsen. It would not surprise me if she dies from some supposed medical condition along the way because the courts failed this child. And it is that simple.
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep08: They Saw You
reasons. Um, I really hope there's not a settlement in that case. I feel like that happens often. You know, we never get to find out, really information, the real information on either side.
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep08: They Saw You
Yes, that would be great. If there's a trial, a jury trial, that would be, I would think, very informative.

I mean, and if King County settles with her, to me, it's like, okay, they've settled everything, right? I mean, they charged her. They went through with charging her, but then that would be it. They didn't stick to it being a felony. Then they dismissed the case. So if there's a settlement, it's like they really don't want to go up against her.
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep08: They Saw You
That's a very, very interesting... and I think I already told you, I had the thought, not as a journalist, just as a person, that if I did something and I was criminally charged and then they dismissed the case, I personally think that I would go away quietly and just live my life and think, damn, I got lucky. I do not think that I would say, actually, let's go to court and let's open this all up.
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep08: They Saw You
if I knew that I got away with doing something, you know? So, and I think that's how the average person looks at it.
Nobody Should Believe Me
S05 Ep08: They Saw You
Yeah, yeah. If you got away with it, why would you do that? Yeah.
