[edit] conviction?

The article contains no information about her conviction (where, which counts, etc.). -- Túrelio 10:40, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thomas Barfield?

"After her arrest, the body of Thomas Barfield was exhumed and found to have fatal amounts of arsenic." A Thomas Barfield is not mentioned earlier in the article. Is this supposed to be Thomas Burke or Jennings Barfield? If the implication is that she murdered either one of them, would that not invalidate the claim that "it is believed that Velma's first attempt at murder was at her very own mother...", which occurred three or four years after the death of Jennings Barfield (who she married after Burke's death, as that is described as her first known experience with the death of someone close)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.115.1.4 (talk) 14:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

The person was actually Jennings Barfield. There seems to have been a error on the clarkprosecutor.org page. However in the body of the text the individual exhumed was referred correctly as Jennings Barfield. I have fixed the name. Nicklinn (talk) 15:54, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
