The Bob Ward case
« on: September 12, 2013, 09:56:51 AM »



Florida real estate developer James “Bob” Ward was already in a whole lot of trouble before he fatally shot his wife Diane in 2009. He was being sued by his insurance company over allegations that he had misappropriated over $20 million for personal purchases, including a $750,000 mansion and a $140,000 car. Bob Ward subsequently claimed that the stress had made Diane suicidal, and that he had accidentally shot her while attempting to prevent her from taking her own life. We’ll leave it for you to decide if this is consistent with his call to the 911 operator immediately after the shooting: “I just shot my wife. She’s dead. She’s done. I’m sorry.”

Ward was sentenced to 30 years in late 2011, despite pleas for leniency from his two adult daughters. Incredibly, his lawyers argued that Ward was the victim of “class prejudice“—specifically that statements made by the prosecution about the Wards’ lavish lifestyle biased the jury against him, amounting to “prosecutorial misconduct.” The appeal was roundly denied, and Ward remains in prison. -- http://listverse.com/
