...to this suicide, see the article Husband Indicted in Van Suicide. If that is the case, that there were no witnesses other than the father and the children; I think the police are being extremely creative in charging the father/husband in connection with his wife's suicide. Of course my estimation of this precludes the 5 year old child having given a credible and coherent recounting of what went on, and that recounting would of course have to implicate the father. Somehow I find it hard to imagine that a 5 year old child would have understood enough of what went on if what the plice are alleging is correct. I hope the prosecutors are not pressing charges on a statement like: 'Daddy yelled at mommy, daddy was mad at mommy,mommy said she would kill herself, daddy got out of the car and mommy went over the edge" because folks that should not be anywhere near enough even in light of what happened. People say stupid things in arguments all the time, but then again I do not even know that the police have even that much.
Maybe they have other evidence to suggest he did this, maybe it is just super creative police imaginations gone wild; I hope that the truth will come to light, the truth of reality and not some jury decision based upon conjecture because this one seems even more inventive than the rape charges against the Duke University students.
All the best,
