hi I'm two Thorne Rose I'm a cam model I'm an artist I love Fitness Melissa Turner was a cosplay model who also
00:00:07
produced her own adult films she lived in Riverview Florida with her boyfriend Matthew Trussler a cosplay model is
00:00:15
basically where you dress up as like your favorite characters I would do Elvira Misty from Pokemon I
00:00:26
really loved the makeup and the props and the costuming her life changed dramatically on October 18 2019 when she
00:00:35
called police telling them she found her boyfriend covered in blood laying on the
00:00:40
pool deck in their backyard I was the prosecutor who went to the crime scene that day
00:00:55
I thought it was bizarre there was the insinuation that he had done this to himself and he had a stab one in the
00:01:02
back he couldn't have done that to himself right these flowers back I tried giving him CPR I'm sorry I just thought
00:01:09
that there was a lot of acting happening where she's dialing 9-1-1 and make herself cry
00:01:15
I don't know what happened it was exceptional acting fantastic actress she wanted to be in
00:01:22
movies Melissa says she was scared and confused what began as a night of drinking Ended as a homicide
00:01:29
investigation the kitchen's a bloody mess why is the kitchen a bloody mess a initially told investigators she
00:01:45
didn't remember much but later on she said she did remember an argument with her boyfriend that turned physical a
00:01:52
neighbor's security camera recorded audio at around four o'clock in the morning that gave investigators a better
00:01:58
picture of what happened that night how would you describe the tone of the voices that you heard so the little bit
00:02:04
of male voice that was tough to distinguish but the female voice was very very loud sounded very angry what
00:02:12
could you hear what kind of phrases so I heard get up I heard so and then there was an
00:02:22
explicit die you heard so die and then I heard um you know it sounded like a female
00:02:30
voice was crying saying what what did I do Melissa says that during her argument
00:02:36
with Matthew he attempted to strangle her that's when she says she stabbed him in the back
00:02:43
I thought this was it I thought he was gonna kill me and then I stabbed him lightly in the back just
00:02:53
to get him off of me a few hours after Melissa called police she was arrested and charged with second-degree murder
00:03:00
and two years after Matthew Trussler was found dead on his patio his fiancee Melissa Turner went on trial for murder
00:03:09
it'll be a world of weight off my shoulders for this child to just be over during Melissa's trial the jury heard
00:03:19
nothing about her cosplay modeling and acting out fantasies online the judge had ruled that that information wasn't
00:03:26
relevant to the case but prosecutor chinwe Fawcett saw it differently I did think that the jury should have known
00:03:32
that she was an actress and she was able to make herself into this victim type person and then Cry On Demand
00:03:42
shot you said 4 33 a.m so effing die right no I have no recollection of that I explained my side and why I did what I
00:03:56
did you're crying right now is that is that what's happening are you crying right now do you know what tears look
00:04:03
like are you crying because you can just cry on cue I'm crying because because my life is on the line right now
