Story here. Excerpt:
'GAINESVILLE, Ga. — An Army wife accused of setting her apartment on fire botched an attempt to collect on her husband's $400,000 insurance policy when he survived and her two children died instead, a federal prosecutor said.
Billi Jo Smallwood, 35, was denied bond at a Friday hearing in northeast Georgia, where she appeared on federal charges of damaging government property by fire.
"She set fire to her own home in hopes of killing her husband and wound up killing her kids," Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Gabay-Smith said.
...
Smallwood's family members stood and identified themselves to the judge in support of her release on bond. Her husband, accompanied by friends in Army uniforms, stood and said, "My name is Wayne Smallwood and I am here to support my wife."'

"My name is Wayne Smallwood and I am here to support my wife."'
He is there to support his wife???!!! What an ass!
I also wear the uniform and have a military $400,000 life insurance. I do not stand with this "fellow" soldier on this. If she did do this I am appauled by his actions. If I was his sergent, I'd do what I can to kick him out of the military!
Simple
They should sentence her to death plain and simple, but they won't. She'll prolly get therapy, 10 years served and a pink lollipop.
maybe he thinks she didn't
maybe he thinks she didn't do it. Hell, maybe she actually didn't do it. Who knows?
....being optimistic is just getting harder and harder these days.
