Melissa Desrosiers, 37, answered questions about her friendship with David Moss, 36, the man charged with second-degree murder in the May 2020 death of Bella Desrosiers.
Desrosiers grew up in the same small town as Moss, and she went to his tattoo shop after her husband's suicide to get a memorial tattoo.

Desrosiers told court she decided to help Moss because he was suicidal.
