This is one of those cases where it is just so difficult to hear/read the details. That poor woman.

I agree, if true looks like she almost got out of the relationship but took him back because of health concerns he claimed to have. Hopefully the children will receive the help they will need. Jmo

Yes, it sounds like she was so close to being free of this monster...

I wonder if there's any truth at all to his claim of having a brain tumor? I once knew a couple who divorced. The husband had been abusive. After the divorce, they found out that he had a brain tumor that was causing him to act in erratic ways. I doubt that was the case here, though. IMO, this guy was just a hateful, wicked man. Those poor babies!

I bet you he has zilch. He KNEW this wonderful woman would take him back out of pity for poor health - she was noble and caring, unlike his sorry #@%% *advertiser censored*. I am super upset over this.

I know just what you mean. Some cases just grab you like that. This one was so brutal, and Bailey looks so sweet, and those little children...this is a rough one to read about. I personally hope that if he's sane, he gets executed for this crime. It was just way beyond cruel, what he did to her!

Oh he is sane all right. He is a sadistic *advertiser censored* who just couldn't take no for an answer. ARGH.

Two children will not have to testify in court in front of their father, a man accused of killing their mother, in part because an expert said the experience "would destroy them."

Officially, Judge John Waters sustained two motions — one to find the children unavailable to testify and another to "admit hearsay statements" of the children. The second part of the ruling allows the statements the children made to a forensic interviewer to be admitted as their testimony.

Happy these kids will not have to testify. And happier even that this case is moving forward.

Man charged with killing wife, burning home could face death penalty

Prosecutors filed documents on Wednesday that said they will try to prove Bailey Clemons’ murder was "outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible or inhuman in that it involved torture, or depravity of mind." They also said the murder occurred during the commission of another felony, namely kidnapping. Those are two of the possible 17 aggravating circumstances that a jury and judge must find occurred with a first-degree murder before a death penalty is imposed. If they don't believe any of them occurred, or if they find one of seven possible mitigating circumstances, the remaining penalty is life in prison with no possibility of parole.
At a hearing last month, prosecutors told a judge that they’d given Clemons and his defense attorney until Oct. 24 to accept their offer to plead guilty in exchange for avoiding a death penalty. A hearing in the case is scheduled for Oct. 30.
