Orange’s alleged ‘black widow’ gets burned
Write a letter to the editor
The controversy landed on the cover of the Hook in 2004.
Donna J. Somerville, the so-called “black widow” of Orange County, has lost her quest to hold on to the farm she tried to inherit after the questionable death of her husband, the Daily Progress reports. Like notorious spouse-killer O.J. Simpson, Somerville was acquitted in a criminal trial of killing her husband, who died mysteriously in 2001, only to lose a civil action waged by relatives of her alleged victim.
Woman sure had her nerve to stick around after all that, and especially to assert any “rights” she might have to inherit property rightly belonging to his kids. Surely the “confidential” elements of this settlement still allow her to keep a tidy sum nevertheless.
Poetic justice will prevail for Ms. Somerville….she someday will have to face her doings. But I am glad she doesn’t get to keep the farm…her best bet is to move FAR away from here.
Last time I checked, Ms. Somerville was acquitted of the charges against her. Everyone is so quick to judge, but were any of you there the night Hamilton Somerville died? It seems like the perfect scenario to point the finger at her because she did not come from the wealthy background as Mr. Somerville did. So, while you’re judging her, look at yourselves, you will be judged for accusing this woman when you do not know what happened.
Just as you said about Mrs Somerville, O.J. Simpson was acquited too, but society has deemed hime guilty, but none of us were there we don’t know the truth, only O.J. and God know what happened on that night, so for the article to even state that
“like notorious spouse killer, O.J. Simpson”, Mabe O.J. needs to read this and see what his attorney says about a lawsuit for Liable/Slander.
Poor OJ…
