Verdict Watch and Big Questions


*though you can find unblurred photos of the kids with Ana online, I don't want to expose them, but you can easily see her love and joy for her children on her face

 In an unexpected move on Thursday we learned that Brian Walshe would not be taking the stand to plead his case in the trial that will determine his guilty in the death of his wife Ana Walshe. As it stands now Walshe has already plead guilty to the dismemberment and improper handling of her body. Now he is asking 12 people to believe that he did that out of panic when finding his wife dead in their bed.

It’s a story that could maybe make a little bit of sense if you don’t know everything else about the case. If you don’t know that in the moments after he supposedly found his wife dead in their bed he searched for how to dismember a body, he also searched for information regarding when she will start to smell badly, and a number of other ghoulish gruesome topics. What he did not search though speaks volumes.

Instead of, well calling 911 for help for his wife he also didn’t search “can my wife be saved if she’s cold” or whatever state she was supposed to be in when he “nudged her” and she “fell out of the bed”. If that sounds a bit familiar, then yes it’s giving flashbacks to Chad Daybell. Not only did he not search for maybe her ability to be saved, if he genuinely was afraid of being accused wrongly it makes you wonder why he didn’t search if cause of death can be found in the autopsy.

I mean, yeah I get it let’s say she suffered a fall down the stairs like in another popular case and she looked like she had taken a beating. It would make sense to be worried that it could look bad for him, but we are talking about a woman he claims died in her sleep. It doesn’t take a doctor or forensic nerd to know that most natural causes of death are determined in an autopsy.

Yet, he didn’t. No, instead he took one of his sons with him to a hardware story to purchase parts of his cleanup kit. Now not only does this child have nowhere to go to visit his mother’s resting place as she was likely incinerated after her remains mixed in with the refuse at garbage sites he chose were picked up by the garbage pick-up crews before authorities could track down what he did with, but this child will one day in the future learn that his father took him along to purchase the very items used to rob him of that right.

I guess, it’s easy to see where I fall on all of this. I hope this man will go down for first degree murder, though second is being offered as well. This is where it will get tricky for the jury. Will they believe that he had planned even a little bit to kill his wife, or if he snapped. Since we are still waiting on a verdict I would guess that this one issue is what is holding up the jury’s decision. Either way let’s hope and pray that no matter the outcome the children in this case find peace and never have to face the man who took so much from them.
