      Why aren't there numerous records of her calling the police? She accused him of poisoning her snd the child! that was a LIE! She paid for his Vasectomy because she wanted a baby so bad yet she got pregnant and kicked him out of her life wouldn't let him see the baby? No wonder he was so angry! Did she use his money to pay for the vasectomy? Not a SCINTILLA of evidence? Terrible acting job! I think that she set him up!

    You never talk to your daughter about what happened? You come home from the park and find your son in law has been shot, but you never ask her? Even the next day or the next day? That makes zero sense.

    What do you mean you NEVER talked about what happened? You mean to tell this jury, that you leave your daughter ALONE with an abusive ex ? Why would you leave knowing he was coming over? Wouldnt you have stayed to make sure she was safe? And when you come back and find out that he was shot and killed, you didnt even ask her what happened? Does that even sound reasonable to you?? Isnt it true then, that the reason you left, is bc you two planned for this to happen? Isnt it true that you didnt ask Ashley or have ANY conversation about what happened - is bc you KNEW what Ashley was planning to do? Would you lie for your daughter to protect her from going to prison? My GOD I would have drilled her into the ground. Literally the worst cross I have ever seen in my life!!!
