After graduation she became a marine.\u00a0 While in the service Sally took up competitive bodybuilding.\u00a0 That&#8217;s when she met Ray McNeil,\u00a0 Ray was already a bodybuilder on his way to the top.\u00a0 Sally and Ray were married after dating just a couple of months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At first they had a great marriage.\u00a0 Ray made it to the <em>Mr. Olympia<\/em> competition. Sally was becoming a well-known bodybuilder.\u00a0 Somewhere along the way, the marriage turned sour.\u00a0 Then on Valentine&#8217;s Day, 1995, Sally called 911 to say she had just killed her husband.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Killer Sally<\/em> provides background on the case over the course of three episodes.\u00a0 Was Sally a victim of spousal abuse or a cold-blooded killer?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Killer Sally<\/em> is an interesting docuseries that could have been told in two episodes.\u00a0 By stretching it out to three, some of the impact is lost.\u00a0 The first episode provides background. Even after marriage Ray was a player and abusive.\u00a0 He&#8217;s the bad guy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the second episode we learn that Sally was also abusive.\u00a0 Even worse she had a criminal record for violence!\u00a0 She had beat up her mailman,\u00a0 attacked a female bodybuilder at a competition and got into a drunken confrontation with a bouncer (she wouldn&#8217;t stop dancing on a table) that led to police intervention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Making Ray as the total villain in the first episode while holding back all the bad stuff on Sally until the second probably felt like a shocking reveal to the filmmakers.\u00a0 It just felt a bit cheap to me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There&#8217;s no question that Sally killed Ray.\u00a0 She claims he was beating her up and she killed him in self-defense.\u00a0 The facts show Ray was shot twice with a shotgun.\u00a0 I won&#8217;t spoil the verdict, but will say I agreed with the outcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em style=\"color: var(--text-color); font-family: var(--text-font); font-size: inherit;\"><strong>Killer Sally <\/strong><\/em><span style=\"color: var(--text-color); font-family: var(--text-font); font-size: inherit;\">earns 3 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_c.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/2022\/z121022zview_killersally2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"285\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Killer Sally (2022) Director:\u00a0 Nanette Burstein Stars: Sally McNeil, John McNeil Tagline: None.
