There is one thing that bothers me tremendously, so much so that it might just be enough to cause me reasonable doubt in this case and I believe he's guilty. However reasonable doubt comes to me in the suicide letter where it states......"My new love will never leave the family" Not 'her' family or 'his' family, no... 'the family' That sentence was intentionally constructed to leave out the sex of the lover. There was testimony from Jocelyn's 'new love'. She states , they kissed 3 times. It wasn't known to others. The whole case, for me, comes down to, did he know about his wife's affair with that other woman? If not, he couldn't have written it into the suicide note. The more I think about it the more I come to believe he didn't write it. It's hard to believe that he may be innocent because everything screams guilty. But if he didn't write the note..... She must have.
The cops really have nothing but their suspicions and speculations. That's what they get paid to do. Would someone PLEASE tell me whether or not, at trial, it was proven that Earnest knew about Jocelyn's female love interest prior to her death. If you have that information, PLEASE take a few seconds out of your life and let me know.
Thanks,

Watching this episode I thought of a book entitled, "The Mask of Sanity". There is an excellent page about it on Wikipedia.

As he talked to the reporter I got pretty creeped out. He was too smooth and emotionally detached. And too factual. Like he was describing some unfortunate event in the news instead of the murder of someone he had spent so much time with.

Heartbreaking! After watching the program I believe he did kill his wife. And I think Jocelyn's friend was right. I think Wes probably wanted to kill her the night she went over to see if her friend was okay.
