THE DISPUTE
I
He lay in wait
Entangled in a lengthy hostile divorce and custody battle
Entangled in a contentious divorce and custody battle
A bitter divorce and custody battle
In the midst of a heated divorce and custody battle
Embroiled in a heated divorce and custody dispute
Embroiled in a bitter custody dispute
He lay in wait.
Through an ongoing custody fight and divorce
A continued strategy of complete and total war
Two years of torture
A Back and forth Hellish
conflict
A divorce and custody battle
Contentious, protracted
Hotly and continuously contested
II
One morning, she disappeared after dropping
her kids off at school, leaving behind
spatter, stains, smears, blood-like
on the garage floor, paper towels, trash can, steering wheel, trunk
In darkness, luminol blazed forth a nightmare
She likely sustained an injury or multiple injuries
that experts would consider unsurvivable
They put him in an empty cold room
full of spotlights
naked with a metal bed rack
and a Velcro blanket.
It was a bitter breakup
Lengthy and expensive, with no end in sight
GAL fees at approximately $180 thousand, and more to come
Attorneys’ fees: $90K father; $1,650,000 mother and more to come
Custody evaluation: $20 thousand approximately, and more to come
A bloody shirt and bra, fingerprints, DNA
all dumped in a conveniently “creepy” neighborhood
Then a 43 page arrest warrant
“I didn’t do it.” says his mistress,“He did it!”
He is dead. She’s in jail.
And the desire for justice reaches beyond the grave to seize the living
How do you respond to the charges?
Not guilty.
No one, it seems, is guilty.
It was an intense divorce and custody battle
For he lay in wait
He lay in wait.
