Cynthia Sommer talks to reporters after she was freed Friday. With no proof that Sommer was the source of the arsenic detected in her hubands's liver, the government relied heavily on circumstantial evidence of her financial debt and spending sprees to argue that she had a motive to killer her husband.

Has justice been served? I believe so, for our criminal justice system is not perfect. However, Ms. Sommer could have helped herself as far as not raising suspicion by maintaining a somewhat (reasonable) profile after the mysterious death of her husband.

What Ms. Sommer needs is a few classes on impression management for one should wait until the dusk settles before undertaking questionable conduct. Remember, regardless of what anyone believes, what others think about you REALLY does matter.
