“Listening to this podcast has been so hard because everyone assumed Deven was guilty and lying from jump! If she was a white woman, things would be perceived differently and we all know it. If this story were told as if she were white, people would have a different opinion. Melhoff disgusts me! He’s sickening! He literally is what Alabama is. I live here, I know! I’m from Birmingham but went to college at Univ. of Montevallo IN Shelby County! I couldn’t wait to leave. I’m originally from NY too and moved to AL as a teen. Worse mistake ever, although I didn’t have a choice. Alabama is embarrassing to live in! The people and politics here are backward-thinking and backwoods-thinkers. I wish Deven would have never stepped foot here. She was far better off in NY.
People keep saying she could have left, she didn’t need to kill him. People are so ignorant and know nothing about victims of domestic violence. Even John’s family members knew he was abusive. And Alexis!! Ugh! She is a liar and should be ashamed! And Melhoff, matter of factly stating, “You know Alexis did that, right?” in reference to the shotgun evidence in the trailer. He says he knows she did it because Alexis said she did it. A white woman’s words, who was on the phone at the time, carries more weight than the black woman who was actually in the situation. Tell me how racism doesn’t play a part? Anyone in these reviews who is upset about the way Deven is portrayed is racist too! Check yourself!”
