On True Crime Today, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me after the Matthew Farwell verdict to talk about the way Sandra Birchmore's life was picked apart in court. The former Stoughton police detective was convicted of killing Sandra and her unborn child after his lawyers argued she took her own life.Jurors heard about Sandra's mental health, her grief and her past, including a psychiatric hold after an argument with her aunt. Farwell's lawyer called her telling so many people she was pregnant a cry for help. The defense also put her relationships with other men in front of the jury, and the jury still convicted on both counts after telling the judge it was deadlocked.Shavaun and I talk about what happens when a woman gets called "crazy" or "too much," how her struggles became the defense's story while her plans for her baby didn't, and why a woman's love life changes how much people care. We also talk about blaming her as a way to feel safe, and what to tell a woman who thinks no one would believe her either.Sentencing is set for February.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
