I'm not even sure what it is we're disagreeing about, do you? lol

Sort of--if I recall lol. I think its more about Donna's arrogance and such and you think its not but is about something else, I forget lol. It's nothing big, we agree generally though.

For me, if Donna told the inmate that she didn't take the plea deal because she thought she'd be found not guilty, I don't believe that- I don't think that was the reason.
Despite her age, I think it was for the same reason Magbanua didn't take the deal she was offered, that is, she'd have been admitting to not only her own guilt but that of others and I don't see Donna ever doing that.

I agree with your view of Donna never admitting her guilt, I agree she never will. I do think though she also was convinced she would not be convicted. That's where we differ I guess lol.

GrandmaBear, are you familiar with the YT channel, Guilty Words?
I only know it in relation to this case but I've found all of the episodes I've watched re the case to be so very fascinating!
The episode below offers insight as to what the email evidence shows was the dynamic between Donna and Wendi.

No, never heard of it. I'll try to remember to give it a watch later.

i watched this, she does a good show. I read quite a few comments and her responses as well. I would say it isn't anything I and most didn't already think but also see she did it quite awhile back so maybe before some had come to the same conclusions.

i too think wendi is the head of this and by her own behavior played her mom's tendencies... I've watched her in court and she's one "cool" customer as opposed to Donna...

the host though also says in many of her responses Donna thought herself so above, untouchable and that she'd get away with anything (my words, not hers) and also would be found not guilty which is how i see her as well.

i agree on both wendi and donna.

i'd watch the creator again, she's pretty good but it wasn't anything really new to me but again it was an older show long before donna was convicted.

Well, to be clear, I haven't disagreed nor do I, that Donna's arrogant but surely, I don't think she was feeling untouchable as she was scrambling to get her affairs in order, not least of which was a passport for Vietnam (lol), do you?

True but still doesn't mean she wasn't sure she'd win if charged. And so on.
