Sorry, I know this thread is a month old. But I was just reading this story somewhere else.
And I wanted to point out to both of you that this particular crime was not at all about a father being denied custody rights.
In this divorce, this guy was accused not only of being violent (which I’d guess you wouldn’t believe, anyway), but he cheated on his wife while she was fighting cancer, and then he left to move in with his mistress.
So, he’s the bad guy. He always was the bad guy. She complained to the court that he was a bad guy. And he proved her right.
Here’s more info:
I watched the video tonight (Aug 2). Clearly a man shooting his wife in front of his daughter is insane.
I wonder if he made bail?
My only point is that based on having gone through this twice I KNOW that women in a divorce will say ANYTHING and too often clueless judges buy into it to the detriment of all concerned and particularly the kids.
Also, if it were proven in open court that the sob ever hit the woman even once, I would automatically start leaning away from his version of events.
I never laid a finger on either one of my wives though they richly deserved it!
I will Google this up and see if the guy made bail.
He didn’t.
