I'm not buying the defense story of the McDonnell's marriage being a wreck, them barely speaking, and Mrs. Governor being smitten and therefore receiving all the bribes unbeknownst to the Gov. Besides being a humiliating story, I'm not even sure it's a decent defense strategy. So far the prosecution seems to be doing a good job at shooting down this charade (i.e., the Gov. was not in the dark, he was very much aware of everything).
It's particularly ridiculous how the loving, committed couple showed up in court in the early days in solidarity, holding hands, and denying everything (which already contradicts the "their marriage was a shambles" story). Now that their defense has crafted this story they make a point of showing up separately, completely avoiding each other, and not even looking at one another.
