Frugal? That's absolutely nuts to take back a $13.00 item! But in her case, she couldn't return it because of those 3 receipts all around $5 - $6 for what - 2 gals. of gas and she had put gas in it. I doubt if any store would take it back smelling of gas, even if she washed it.
I heard a woman from California say on HLN that everybody who drives from Cali to Az knows that gas is 80 cents cheaper in Az, the minute one crosses the border the price plummets so there goes the money-saving reason for the gas cans.
She has lied once - enough to impeach her testimony right there if one is a purist. But this woman lied a second time through ???? times - enough to shred her credibility on the stand for anything she says. And inconsistent statements is another reason to impeach the witness. Her testimony is full of inconsistencies. She's about the most impeached witness I've ever seen. Technically, the jury shouldn't believe one thing she says. I don't know how a jury can't find for premeditated murder with the max sentence against her but usually there are one or two in every group of people that need more convincing than others for pre-meditation or have empathy somehow with the defendant in some way, just can't stand to see the State "kill" a woman, are secretly anti-death penalty or just think life is far more of a punishment in the long run. IDK, if you don't max punish people who overkill/slaughter as she did w/out good evidence of any kind giving her any credible justification for it, then you send a powerful message that in some cases, a minute- or two-long slaughter is excused by our society and justice system.
I guarantee you, if she were a man who killed his female lover in this same manner, it would be a done deal - the needle.
