From the comments of article.
Daddy was 18 and momma was 15 when girl was conceived. (Wasn’t that Statutory rape at the time back in 1991 in Alabama?) Grandaddy probably didn’t like daddy too much for raping his daughter. I doubt they got along very well after that.
Daddy is crazy. I mean in 2014 he shoots into an occupied public building at a step-daughter’s former boyfriend.
Grandaddy (momma’s daddy) is trying to protect girl from nutcase daddy back in 2002. So Daddy accuses grandaddy of sexual abuse and coerces momma and daughter to go along with it. They’re probably terrified of him and what he might do to them if they don’t play along, seeing as how he’s so crazy that in 2014 he shoots into an occupied grocery store because a step-daughter’s former boyfriend is inside.
Daughter he fathered with mother in 1991 when he was 18 and mother was only 15 is now 24 so mother is around 39-40. Yet two years ago in 2014 he’s shooting at a teenager who is step-daughter’s boyfriend which probably means step-daughter is also a teenager. Sounds like he’s no longer with momma of daughter #1 and is with momma of younger step-daughter instead.
Zero physical evidence a crime was ever committed back when daughter was a little girl.
Maybe granddaddy is the one who plead guilty back in 2002 in exchange for a light sentence so granddaughter wouldn’t have to go through the pain of a trial either lying about granddaddy about stuff she doesn’t even understand or spilling the beans about how crazy daddy is? Or maybe grandaddy is just as bad as daddy is and did do it?
Now daddy takes a 40 year sentence in a plea bargain to prevent 24 year old daughter (who is now racked with guilt because she realizes what crazy daddy manipulated her into helping him do to granddaddy back in 2002) from having to go through the pain of testifying after daddy kills grandpa in 2014. Yet same daughter is willing to painfully spill her guts to the newspaper about it? Have you ever heard of Stockholm syndrome?
Stunning imagination there!
