I think Mary Maloney is not crazy. Why? Because she was
laughing and she put on make-up after she killed him. I think she was just
trying to cover up her tracks by going to the store and acting like if it was
just any other day. Who wouldn’t want to cover-up a murder they just committed?
Especially back in those days, women didn’t have as many rights as men did, and
she was a detective’s wife. She was also thinking about what would have
happened to her unborn baby. Would they kill her and her baby? Would they wait
for her to have her baby? With all these questions running through her head, I think
she did the perfect cover-up; she had his friends eat the murder weapon – the
leg of lamb. Without the weapon to connect her to the crime, how would they
have convicted her? I think her pregnancy also played a huge role; one minute
they are the most joyful people in the world, and then the next they are on a
murder rampage . I think she played it smart!
