Yeah, right - an accident. The old “the gun went off, I don’t know how” or “I didn’t hit her that hard, she fell” etc. etc.
I am withholding judgment until I know more. If he is guilty may God have mercy on his soul. Virginia is a death penalty state and they use it. He is over 21. If he is not guilty, if it truly was an accident and he panicked, I hope the facts become known.
We just don't know much at this point. We only know she is dead, she had visible signs of trauma, he was a person of interest in the first few hours and charged with first degree murder the next day.
We also know he was involved because his attorney said it was an accident.
That's it.
