Or maybe it came out that one of their kids (or someone else) did the shooting, and the husband was taking the fall for the kid. I saw that on Law and Order once.<br /><br />I hope you find out what the real story was!Kerry Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590443839479686201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671432547717724571.post-29837714790581217252011-05-15T06:56:10.574-07:002011-05-15T06:56:10.574-07:00Very interesting story.

I'd like to suspect something came to light from or about the wife, i.e. extenuating circumstances. Could the DA's letter have included additional sensitive documentation that was censored from the material you saw?

It's also possible that his children or parents were suffering due to his absence and the community felt their need was great.
