Bad Blood
Then he said, I think we need to talk about going our separate ways. And he was very calm about it. And what did you say? I responded in a way that was probably antagonistic because I said, I am so ready to do this. Let's just do it. That's when it started because he said, who the hell do you think you are? You think I don't know that you have a condo and that it's not for Greg, it's for you?

Bad Blood
You no good bitch. I don't love you anymore. I hate you. I've wasted my life with you. Why can't you just die?
48 Hours
Bad Blood
And I'm sure he didn't mean to kill me with it at that point. But he just took and he says, you bitch. And he just glanced.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
He kicks me. He grabs me. Then he came for the last time toward me. He's telling me, you no good effing bitch. I'll never let you have half of my assets. I will see you dead first. And when he bent over and he's telling me he'll see me dead, I'm hoisting myself up. I feel the handle of the hatchet. I picked it up and I swung.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
I couldn't stop hitting him. I was terrified out of my mind. I didn't know if it was one time, two times, three times.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
It was not rage. It was terror. I was terrified. There is a difference between rage indicates anger. I was not anger. I was terrified at this point for me.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
It was a blur. It was a blur. The only thing I can tell you is that, for me, going to school was always a safe place. I went there so many times after he abused me, and it was the only place that I ever felt good about myself. That morning, I was in shock for sure.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
The horror of it is something you can't even imagine. You cannot possibly think that there's any rational thought there. The only thing that happened at that point was I was on autopilot doing what I had done for 30 years. I was fixing the ugliness. I was fixing it because when the ugliness was gone, it was like it never happened.

Bad Blood
If my sons knew they'd hate their father and I couldn't let them hate him, I wanted them to love him.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
And I'm covered up. I'm cleared up and covered up. He's coming toward me and he's mad. He's mad.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
Right about where you are. Right about where you are. Yes, and I can see his shoes just like your shoes. As I'm getting up, there's a black railing around the generator, and I'm using it for leverage, and as I get up, I feel the handle of the hatchet.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
I don't physically remember stabbing him, but obviously I did. But I was screaming at him to get off of me. Get off of me! Just get off of me!
48 Hours
Bad Blood
I loved him. If I had to redo May the 10th, I wish I would have let him just kill me.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
I sat down and cried because I couldn't fix him. I couldn't fix everything else. I had fixed everything else, and I couldn't fix him. I couldn't fix him. No matter what I did, I couldn't fix him. He was dead. I kept saying, Bob, why did you do this to me? Why did you do this to me? Why?
48 Hours
Bad Blood
No, I am not guilty of murder. What made her do it? This is a very complex case. It wasn't as simple as wife kills husband with a hatchet.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
All I can say to my sons is I'm very sorry. And I want them to know that I love their father. They know that I did. I want the boys to know that I love them with all my heart, and I wish that I could undo what happened May the 10th. But I hope they find their way back together.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
He was very charming. He was very confident. He was a very strong personality, and I felt very secure. He was my knight in shining armor.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
We're in the car coming home from his brother's wedding reception, and Bob was drunk. He had much too much to drink, and he reached over, and he tried to push me out of a moving car, and he's pounding me with his fists.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
I was in a state of shock. I had never experienced anything like this before. I'd never witnessed anything like it. Why would you choose to stay knowing that he tried to throw you out of a moving car? Frankly, I was naive. I was only 21 years old, and I just loved him, and I said, this has to be a fluke. This is a one-time thing.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
I knew that if I talked about that way, it would escalate the abuse. It would escalate his anger and his rage. And I knew not to do that because if I did that, it made the situation worse.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
I walked in and I sat down in that triage room in tears and I was crying. And I looked over and I saw a parent from my school. And I knew if she found out the grapevine at school, I just couldn't do that. My career was everything to me.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
No, I did not. Did you plan to do him any harm? No, I did not. At any point? My God, not. My God, a hatchet. No.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
He was verbally abusing Greg, telling him what an a**hole he was. He didn't know what he was doing.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
And he told Greg to pack his things and he threw them out on the street on his birthday and told him to never come home again.
48 Hours
Bad Blood
And I heard his footsteps coming toward me. He grabbed me. Bob liked to grab and squeeze.
