You are correct. Pack up and leave when he’s at work or out somewhere. Plan ahead. Save some money for the move and a couple months rent. I know from experience.
There was a channel that had a video about how to prepare before leaving an abusive relationship. Have a bag somewhere with the stuff you need: official papers, pills, a phone charger, maybe a new inexpensive phone that the abusive partner doesn't know about etc.
I really wish that people who murder their spouses would consider the damage they do to their children. You can’t say that a parent who says they love their children would cause so much pain they cause them. It’s devastating and heartbreaking. Such evil and selfish acts
Abusive jealous men that have been told they want a divorce by the wife are always unalived by the nut job they're married to ,and they don't love their children or they would never contemplate putting their kids through that kind of heartache.
Im a firm believer in ' theres no such thing as a coincidence' i would give David Swift the benefit of the doubt if his wife had not filed for divorce just before she was killed. It just seems to be too big a ' coincidence ' that a stranger would abduct qnd murder her, whole she was involved in a contentious divorce.
You don’t know that he murdered Karen. Actually as I type this a mistrial was declared and the Jury was Not Guilty on all the charges except Manslaughter, they were deadlocked. So still not proven. Don’t ever be on a Jury since you reach a “verdict “ without hearing all the evidence. Judging how these kids are dealing with Trauma to this degree & grieving is beyond disrespectful and disgusting. You haven’t walked in their shoes.
There isn’t really much actual evidence that the father did it. The mother was partying, drinking and swinging with a group of people, so it’s not that easy to know who could have been jealous of who.
A very vague, undetailed, unemotional account of the time of his Mother’s disappearance, yet added the extra detail of the man who “looked like he’d never done a workout in his life” 🧐
I’ve read law enforcement thinks it’s because she wanted a divorce and I also read he was arrested for stalking his second wife! And within 24 hours of Karen going missing he was flooding dating websites. The judge would not allow that evidence in grrrr!
Still nothing has proved David did it. That poor young man. Actually prosecution and defense attorneys are jokes. They ask the same questions so many times!
@@CarisstaRashele The dogs were treated in such a way some are dead. Chaos and disregard for safety and the defense lawyer was asking the questions. I would not have. The cleaning of the pool showed a family togetherness. Might get sympathy from the jury but I would hardly bring it up while trying to show innocence.
They should fight for their mother justice!!! What kind of kids are they??? Support their dad forget about their own mother disgusting and disappointing.
Actually the prosecution was inept. Cuz, c'mon. We know the man killed his wife. But he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. So, the defense did do something.
Before I was getting ready to leave a similar marriage , I started going out with friends .. I guess people would have said that I’m a bad mom because for first time in a long time I found a little bit of freedom and was trying to figure out who I am . People are ridiculous . She disappears after she files for divorce , getting away from a controlling husband and everyone thinks she’s a swinger and it’s the people she hung out with . Sick . The kids will cling to the one person that raised them no matter what. It happened so long ago and kids have a short memory and tend to be resilient .
@@BrendaMitchell-c9u yep, same with mom of 3 Paige Birgfeld and Michele Harris. There's a couple more but I can't think of their names. Its not always the husband.
I noticed it too. I wasn't gonna say anything but I definitely scrolled the comments to see if I was alone in my thinking. Something seems off here. Idk
I'm not either but I di feel his son was somewhat evasive in his answers. I don't think these kids were treated kind by investigators and law enforcement, they both seemed suspicious of questions being asked in this trial. But that doesn't mean anything as far as swaying towards a guilty verdict.

We haven’t been shown much evidence, that the father did it. The mother was involved in a group of people who were swinging and partying all the time, and in groups like that, it’s not easy to know who may have been jealous of who.

LESSON LEARNED: IF contemplating divorce one should NEVER TELL SPOUSE BEFOREHAND. Especially when Anger Management has been an issue.
The most dangerous times for women are when they’re leaving an abusive spouse and when they’re pregnant. Violence increases during pregnancy.

So he cries tears when his son talks about the dog getting ran over but did he cry when looking at his wife’s autopsy photos?
remember we didnt know what really happened. there are many innocent people jailed because of assumptions
I really wish that people who murder their spouses would consider the damage they do to their children. You can’t say that a parent who says they love their children would cause so much pain they cause them. It’s devastating and heartbreaking. Such evil and selfish acts
I really wish ppl wouldn’t blame other ppl for murder when there is no factual evidence. I’m glad the jury doesn’t share the same mob mentality

It's so sad to choose murder instead of divorce but it happens everyday in America.

How unfortunate to be a dog in that neighborhood. Dogs getting shot, run over, poisoned, and declared an "outside dog" that's not allowed indoors.
Sounds like the neighbor was a violent person. Maybe he needed to be investigated for the demise.

A very vague, undetailed, unemotional account of the time of his Mother’s disappearance, yet added the extra detail of the man who “looked like he’d never done a workout in his life” 🧐
Did he kill his wife because she was wanting a divorce or something completely different. I'm new to this case.

I would hate to be in their shoes. It is asking a lot of them to remember what I’m sure they’ve tried hard to block out.
Almost as bad as the Daybell children
So the defenses try to blame the victim 🙄
Yep. Sure did. And it worked. Poor lady got no justice
I don’t understand why there is so much emphasis on the dogs ?
I think it’s bc they found blood and bleach was to clean up the scene not the pool.
And they were trying to say the death smell in the garage was one of the dogs
The defence lawyer is embarrassingly inept.
Well, his client was found not guilty
Actually the prosecution was inept. Cuz, c'mon. We know the man killed his wife. But he was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. So, the defense did do something.
@@marshapieroni6677 you just don’t know when to let go. It’s innocent until proven guilty

She was around with her kids. Her habits only changed shortly before her death, several witnesses have commented on this.

Who was the stranger in the cemetery? Why was he there?
How could he kill her? he was on crutches?
Seems Mum got involved with some shady characters. Haven't heard anything yet that proves Dad did it.

There is something wrong wrong with this testimony
No known cause of death, neither daughter heard anything,
Her skull was broken

I feel they want to cover for his dad
I bet this man gets found Not Guilty ........
Yep, I think so too. There is no direct evidence, and that is what we have come to expect thru our CSI-related shows.
What is the importance of the deceased dog?
Blood in the garage area.
Was this guy in college in Pulaski TN ?
Im not convinced beyond a reasonsble doubt

So there is no proof whether he killed her or not
What a wonderful father to put his children through this BS. Disgraceful dude and I hope you get convicted 😮😮

There was no evidence that he did it

Why do children defend the man who killed their mother..reminds me of Chad Daybell’s kids
Because children go into a type of denial...these are the parents after all. It's a traumatic experience...disbelief..shattering
We haven’t been shown much evidence, that the father did it. The mother was involved in a group of people who were swinging and partying all the time, and in groups like that, it’s not easy to know who may have been jealous of who.

Everyone blaming father,noone say nothing about violent neighbour

Not guilty
Guilty

Why does the accused keep writing.
He’s taking notes. They do it all the time
