Why do you want to blame your husband?

I don't think the ending is surprising, because the film has repeatedly shown some information about the actor's wife, which means that the case must be related to her, otherwise the scenes of her masturbation at home are not necessary at all. A woman who is confused about her own value and the future-a top student who graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology can only be a housewife making up her bed, and being troubled by her husband's extramarital affairs, fear and despair linger in her heart It is completely understandable to kill in order to preserve the family, but one thing is still not understood-why did she frame her husband? Now that the blame is being put on, why bother to fake a fake scene of rape and murder by sexual perverts?

Nico Della Guardia: We would like Mr. Molto to take the stand.
Judge Larren Lyttle: [angrily] NO!
Nico Della Guardia: Judge, you said that we'd be given leeway if the Defense proceeded with this frame-up theory. You said that!
Judge Larren Lyttle: Yes! But I did NOT know then that the State's chief piece of evidence was going to disappear after last being seen with Mr. Molto. I did not know THEN that the Deputy Prosecutor and the Chief Pathologist were going to *manufacture* evidence and testimony! That, gentlemen, is a FAIR interpretation of today's events. I'm still struggling with what's going to happen to Mr. Molto, but what is NOT going to happen is him getting up on that witness stand and making things WORSE!
Tommy Molto: Your Honor, my testimony will...
Judge Larren Lyttle: WITHDRAW, GENTLEMEN!
[the lawyers step back]
Nico Della Guardia: On befalf of the People of Kindle County, the State rests.

Rusty Sabich: Next time you talk to him, tell him to call me so I can find out what's going on in my own *fucking* investigation. Painless, you tell Molto, and you tell Nico, too, that this is cheap, cheap politics. Cheap Police Department bullshit. God better help them and help you, too, if I can't make a case for tampering.
