[00:34.78]It was as open and shut as anything I have seen
[00:39.14]He was a pillar of town, his reputation was clean
[00:43.26]It was right before Easter in the first week of spring
[00:47.69]
[00:51.50]He didn't show up for service that Wednesday night
[00:56.13]The congregation knew something weren't right
[01:00.07]
[01:00.88]Blood on the bed when they opened doorthe
[01:04.08]
[01:05.01]The preacher was dead on the bedroom floor
[01:08.33]
[01:09.13]And everyone knew there had to be some outside thing
[01:14.06]That made this happen
[01:15.75]
[01:17.24]Because they seemed like the perfect family
[01:23.17]
[01:25.23]He'd been shot in the back a day before he was found
[01:29.74]His wife and three kids were nowhere around
[01:33.89]An Amber Alert was issued in town
[01:37.97]
[01:42.90]Everyone was shocked at the scene of the crime
[01:46.65]She'd taken the kids across two state lines
[01:50.83]Found her in Orange Beach with the kids in the car
[01:55.19]Sent back to Selmer to await her trial for first-degree murder
[02:01.08]
[02:16.54]Was she crazy or just plain old mean
[02:20.28]To have gone and done it?
[02:23.20]
[02:24.50]She said she heard the bang and was afraid he'd be mad
[02:28.74]And made a run for it
[02:31.03]
[02:32.61]Said, they were having a fight and the gun was a bluff
[02:36.97]She didn't pull the trigger it just went off
[02:40.65]
[02:41.34]Said that he berated her about everything
[02:45.73]Made her do things that made her feel so ashamed
[02:49.22]
[02:50.03]Nobody at church would ever suspect
[02:53.76]Made her dress up slutty before they had sex
[02:58.01]In the courtroom that day there was an audible gasp
[03:01.90]
[03:02.52]What they put up on display the locals couldn't quite grasp
[03:08.25]
[03:14.62]There was an audible gasp in the courtroom that day
[03:19.24]When the defense pulled out and displayed
[03:23.53]Them high-heeled shoes and that wig he made her wear
[03:29.47]
[03:32.09]Reduced her charge to voluntary manslaughter
[03:37.69]
[03:40.12]And I ain't judging either way but she's already out of jail
[03:47.68]
[03:48.30]And it was them high-heeled shoes and that wig he made her wear
[03:54.23]
