A woman was busted on camera trying to secretly poison her husband in a way that would have probably killed him if he didn’t catch it in time. The husband felt suspicious when his coffee was tasting weird, so he set up a hidden camera in the kitchen. He caught his wife on hidden camera secretly poisoning him by putting chlorine bleach in the coffee machine. He figured out it was bleach by testing the coffee with strips that are usually used to test pool water.
His name is Roby Johnson and his wife’s name is Melody. I’m not sure how long they’ll be married for after this. It appears that the couple was on their way to divorce anyway, but this is probably going to speed that up! After she was arrested, she faced attempted murder charges. But she pled guilty to something much lower – a felony of putting poison in foods or drinks.
Sure, they may have had relationship problems, but when one person is putting chlorine bleach in the drinks, that’s when you know something is really off. Roby Johnson spoke out to the judge, as reported on KGUN9: “hrough our 17-year journey together, she has never attempted to physically harm me until last year… Her transgressions were predominantly verbal and emotional.” But wait, there’s more. Here’s why she really didn’t end up in jail, according to the crime news report:
“While her period of incarceration may have imparted valuable lessons, I harbor doubts that it alone will address the underlying issues,” Roby Johnson said to the judge. “Hence, I respectfully petition that Melody be mandated to undergo mental health treatment and educational programs in concert with probation.”
Melody Johnson’s attorney argued she has a history of anxiety and depression and is willing to continue mental health treatment. She argued for leaving the punishment at the year Melody Johnson’s already spent in jail. but the judge ordered three years probation instead, plus mental health treatment.
