- When will we men learn the expendable role woman place us???? Woman demanded a princes entitlement lifestyle (whether legal or illegal) from men at the expense of men. This is nothing new --- "quality men" sacrificing their health and life to carry the financial burden of a women demanding a fairytale. Even more said and painful is the fact that woman and society judge men with such venomous animosity that refuse to support this unrealistic fantasy or dream. This pathetic wife is just as guilty as her husband yet she still plays the sisterhood of victim hood card. This is what we call equality of genders and womens liberation.....woman should be ashamed.

- I can't believe the number of misogynists responding. There is really a big problem with womanhaters in America.
First of all, 48 hrs. shouldn't have glorified them! Nor any other criminals on their show. She shouldn't profit from writing a book either. She obviously didn't know about the crime-spree he was on. Yes, she didn't work outside the home, but was a loving wife and Mom. Oh, I guess that doesn't count!
HE decided to commit a crime. It is a decision, like we make decisions every day. Stop making excuses for him. He did the crime, he has to do the Time, but he shouln't be made into a celebrity or the wife either. She had every right to divorce him. They mentioned drugs also. I doubt she was doing it along with him. He was a bad guy. He seems to realize that he made a big mistake, as long as he is remorseful and doesn't repeat it. She has the right to go on with her life -- he betrayed her and embarrased her and her kids. Yes, he was trying to provide for her, but that isn't the way to go about it. Alot of people like the comment above said , "Gee, why didn't I think of that"? But, most people only think about it -- not carry it out! Also, if it was the other way around, do you think the husband (Stephen) would stand by his woman (Jeanne)! I think you know the answer to that one!!! THANKS.
- YOU SEEM TO HAVE A VENOMOUS HATE TOWARDS WOMEN -- DO YOU THINK YOU MOTHER DID THIS TO YOUR DAD?
SHE WASN'T PATHETIC, HE WAS! SHE DIDN'T ROB MORE THAN ONE BANK.

- Wow! I can''t believe this woman was there putting the pressure on this man, and he wanted sooo bad to keep her and their kids happy, and then she dumps him? He really screwed up, but marriage is suppose to be for better or worse. I can''t believe she would not stand by this Great father for those kids, and stand by the man who she loved and married. This is very unfortunate for the kids. Sounds like she is more concerned about continuing to have the finer things in life instead of sticking by her man. It''s not about the money, I guess she still doesn''t get that part of it. This man was so broken down and this was toatally out of character for him, and he will come out of prison, and how sad to not have his wife, and kids to come home to, and be there to support him, like he supported them. I think God was working on Trantel prior to his imprisonment, when he was going to those Bible studies, and he would go back and lose more money, it''s not about the money. I think God wanted Trantel to focus on him and trust in him and give up his desires of this world. I don''t think you need to worry about his punishment, Are you a sin Free person? This man is only human, just like you. Don''t be to quick to judge. He made a mistake, and he has more than paid for it by losing his children and his wife. Besides, prison isn''t going to make him a better person.

- "he wanted sooo bad to keep her and their kids happy" by robbing banks! Gee - why didn't I think of that?
Oh, I don't know that prison will make this bank robber better because I'M NOT A FU$CHIKNG# THIEF???????
Folks, I'm white and I gotta ask, if this was a minority - would you feel the same???? I don't think so. This story is BS.
- Hello, if you love your family, you do not put your life and future with them in Jeopardy, that was a choice that he made. So now this is her fault. If he had any kind of strength he would have told her they were in trouble and took all legal means to get out of the mess, instead he chose to ruin the whole family. Sin Free, you have got to be kidding me. What about the tellers he scared to death, with his gun threat. I was a teller and was robbed and had to go to counseling for a long time from being victimized. Bottom line he made his choices which did not include talking to his wife and went to jail, that is exactly where he belongs.
- "he wanted sooo bad to keep her and their kids happy" by robbing banks! Gee - why didn't I think of that?
- I just finished watching your " Stolen Dreams" segment ,on the Trantel case and I also read the info. on your website. I don''t know how anyone can make a comment like some of those posted above, because until you have walked a mile in the person''s shoes you have no idea what they were going through.
I understand where Jeanne is coming from because I have walked at least a mile in shoes similar to hers, except I was the bread winner at most and my now ex, was the compulsive liar. I was the one that wanted to pay if he couldn''t but he lied and continued to lie. He was so good at it that in the end he distroyed our lives and still got to walk away.
I am not saying what Trantel did was right because it was absolutely wrong, but for Jeanne and in her defence I understand that when one believes that they married the perfect man, then her question to herself would be.." How could he possibly be lying to her." - Reply to this comment
- I usually do not respond with such vitrial at the TV show. I was STUNNED what a *** he was married too. Ummmmm....you didn''t work, wanted the big house, the range rover, private preschool, vacations & "allowance" - yes, you had your head buried in the sand. What he did was wrong, but he did it to try and keep your endless supply of wants satisfied. Now, that he is paying the next 9 years of his life for your lifestyle....you have the right to be "free" - your meal ticket ended and now you toss him to the trash pile. This is a typical American female....marry the "man" (IE: meal ticket) of her dreams......spend him into bank robbery to keep the family happy and then divorce the sucker (so much for "til death do us part") when he can no longer supply your allowance.
This is all the more reason we are now teaching our son''s NOT to marry the *** - just enjoy yourself and the day she quits her job, dump her *** for the next bimbo....
I am livid at this story...however it shows many women''s true colors...you are in it for the sperm donation to get your "babies" and then he better provide a story book lifestyle ($$$) until he is divorced and she keep it all and moves on to the next victim... - Reply to this comment

- OMG - this is about BOTH people who were thieves. I am livid at this story for portraying both as victims of circumstance. Shame on you, 48 Hours!
- She did not rob the banks, she ignorant and weak for not knowing what was going on. People live on what they are accustomed to. I work 50 to 60 hrs per week (Yes I am female) but that is what I a accustomed to. I am sure that if I would have been married to a rich SOB I would not have to work as hard, and would have been accustomed to having someone to take care of me. As far as her divorcing the guy good for her, she now has the responsibility of raising 2 children, and getting a book deal is a good thing. Everyone keeps commenting on how self absorbed she is and missing the point that he CHOSE TO ROB BANKS<<<<<<< she did not. He chose to go TO JAIL, she did not put him there. Why does this make it her fault??????????
- Read the comment above idiot. It pertains to you as well. What has happened to the men in this world??? Thank goodness mine isn't a JERK!! And no, he does not have alot of money. She married before the money started rolling in. So it was love she married for.
- Any woman in this day and age who does not ask her husband about what it costs to live as they do deserves everything she got.
Yes, Steven was too proud - or was she just too dependent?
I expect the reason that he lost more after every prayer mtg was because he assumed that God would answer his prayers by giving him big wins- so he gambled more- maybe God's answer was to wake him and his wife up to the real world.
I think the worst part of this is the divorce. He slugs his guts out trying to support her and fails so she dumps him. Shame on her!
I won't buy her book either tho I would buy one by him.
Her vows were, for richer or poorer- yeah right.
I think it's good that this was on CBS because it shows how easy it is to get in trouble even if you're really a good person.
- P.S. - to "jkhood01" - blame dear ole Bush for our economy problems - not Trabtel. You moron.

- Wow, how incredibly self-absorbed was this woman? His wife? She says towards the end after having to get a JOB like the rest of the world - "Every check I got was to pay his problems back - his debt." What about YOUR debt, lady? YOUR problems? YOU were probably the root to your debt. Your spending sprees, your ridiculous "allowance" - your need to be Miss La Tee Da of the neighborhood. You are sickeningly oblivious to how you contributed to WHY your husband did what he did. Kudos to him for being man enough to do whatever he needed to do to make sure you and your kids continued to live the life you were accustomed to. Sadly, he got caught. Good riddance to bad rubbish like you who did nothing but SPEND SPEND SPEND every penny he made.

- Agreed. Not that he is absolved from having committed the crime, but now she's writing a book? DO NOT BUY THIS WOMAN'S BOOK!
- I live in Rockville Centre(same community) as him. My brother was on his sons baseball team. Jeanne is a normal person who shouldnt have been put through this. Neither should have the kids. He didnt mean any harm. He just wanted to support his family. You guys should be ashamed and realize that these people actually had to go through this. And she is not a gold digger
- YOU ARE A JERK!!!!!!! Maybe you are dissin her coz you can't put your woman in the finer things in life and spoil her to the point where she doesn't have to worry about things. She was his wife, not his mother!!! I doubt very seriously if she would have gone along with any of that. He should have told her they were broke. He didn't want to admit he failed. The blame is on him. He changed the rules without her knowing. I will definitely buy her book if for no other reason than to **** you off!!!!!!!!!!!! Once again in case you missed it the first time-YOU ARE A JERK!!!!!!!!!! Read between the lines because my opinion of you is worse than that!!!!!!!!
