| What most people do not know or put together is the timeline of events. Her hubby is a jerk. No one says it, but there is a small portion of doubt that he didn't cause this to come about to begin with, and once he got his hands on her money, he wants her gone....That is the only portion about this whole thing that just hacks me off..It isn't about life, death, will, etc. It's that he is a jerk, and he is getting away with it.

From here, it is nothing but court battles. I can imagine what the parents feel...if there was a slim hope that she could come about enough to get him tossed for life, I can understand WHY they are fighting as much as they are.... |
