In reply to the discussion: "Guilty": Part Two [View all]H2O Man

After she was convinced her husband would not be released from jail, the murderer's wife filed for divorce, and would move out of the area. She told friends about what a violent, abusive husband & father he had been. She had previously been afraid to leave him, because she believed he would hunt her down and kill her.
Some of our family's support system thought she bore some responsibility, for not going to the authorities before. My family was clear: we do not blame her at all. Just the opposite -- she was a victim, too.
The fact that no one from his family -- not even one of his daughters -- ever showed up at any court hearing or the trial to support him, speaks loudly.
