out an emotional response from fred in court. did you ever see your dad able to get over it? no. i m looking at him right now and he s not over it. but what about fred s former assistant? the woman who had given prosecutors a semblance of motive? in fact, during cross- examination, the assistant said to me fred and his wife showed affection for each other all the time . she would come in and go straight to his desk, give him a kiss, and go back to her desk in the back. the absolute bottom line is, there was no affair with jeannie barnes. fred did not kill his wife, he certainly did not kill his wife for jeannie barnes. the defense was sure it had shown the jury who fred was. the people who know him best said, there was no way in the world fred could kill his wife. now, it was up to a jury of 12 people to decide if he did.
