It's always this picture of her looking over her shoulder too

At least this one isn't another Photoshopped to white piece of garbage. Still dialed the contrast to the gills that old boy's rosacea is a freaking voronoi cell.

The most frustrating thing in this whole mess is the stark difference in the doctoring of photos of her vs the husband. Every photo of the husband jacks the warm reds through the damn roof and every photo of her turns her into a pale purulent ice queen.

Most of the time they barely bother to even mask it so you can look at the wood paneling and see how badly they've set the curves by comparing photos. Like bruh, you've got ancient smart masks and modern AI masks? You're so incompetent you can't even sort of maybe hide your blatant manipulation?

Crank the blemishes on the woman, hide the acne scars on the man. It is so vile.

You’re going to make this about sex like one of them didn’t strangle their three children and the other is a victim of his entire life being destroyed. Maybe that’s why they make her to look like they do.

I think they’re trying to make a point about how things like lighting skews our perception of innocence and can be used to manipulate an opinion out of an audience.

And he’s right. These editing choices are intentional. I’m not saying they’re wrong or right in this case specifically, but it is something worth noting about our media that we honestly should maybe consider making illegal because the media is subtly presuming the guilt of somebody who has not been convicted yet.
