...Takes Care of Mom?" [Feb. 1]: Francine Russo should not beat herself up for not being around more when her mother's health was failing. Most of us do not have the Cleavers or the Bradys for relatives. "Family craziness" is a major reason people move away in the first place.

During the 2005 trial, the prosecution chipped away at Kissel's credibility by revealing she had a secret lover in Vermont - a television repairman. The team put a private investigator on the stand who said that her husband, an investment banker, told him he was worried his wife was trying to poison him - testimony that the appeals court judge dismissed last week as hearsay that...
