about who was most responsible. i felt that the mastermind of the crime was jessie. she didn t pull the trigger, but without her, this doesn t happen. what bothered me was that the bar got set at 22 years for the mastermind of the crime. so he did what he thought he had to be fair and offered jarred a deal, to. 30 years in prison for pleading guilty to first degree murder. jarred agreed. jarred at times as being portrayed as this kind of victim. a little bit of jessie that, she was the mastermind. but vince was shot nine times in the head and face. i mean, you cannot discount that. no. for anything. no, it bothered me. he should ve gotten more than 30 years. tim, vince s cousin, was torn about jarred s punishment. but jessie, she should ve got more time than he did. because she manipulated him. is that the jessie you knew? this master manipulator? i would see she must of manipulated us because i would ve never paid her. i believe that she should do life. as for
but as he explains it, they were much more than that. were you kind of like a big brother to vince? yeah. with him it was like, i don t know, we had a bond. he had an outgoing personality. he had a crazy little grin. you always knew when he was doing something mischevious. and tim recalls the mischief he and vince got into in the small michelin town called cadillac. we would go play in the creeks, go fishing. we actually build a rough out of old barrels that we threw in the water and tied sticks to it, never floated but sounds like huckleberry finn. yeah. but vince s childhood story wasn t always so idyllic. vince is mom, left at eight -month-old. so he was raised with his dad. i think his dad was married to six times. that was a little tough on him. janet madison considered herself into surrogate mom. she says growing up, he spent a lot of time at her house. her son was vince his best friend. he was just like one of the other boys. he was always there. they did eve
i m still proud of him. with vince s career heading in the right direction. he took another big step and popped the question. jessie said yes. there was a connection between them two tjat they loved each other to death. they would argue, i think they had just argue to make up. some people say that that s the best part? it is. after the wedding, kids soon followed for the happy couple. two girls and a boy. as a sergeant in the army, vince spent a lot of time overseas, so it was up to jessie to handle the home front and take care of the kids on her own. it s not easy having a husband who s away. it takes someone special to be able to endure that and get through that. tim says somehow jessie and vince made of work. when we d see him and jessie,
be set aside because law enforcement agency for military police should have followed the same rules that the earlier police department of christian county had followed during that day. jessie goslyn s statement was thrown out. the news hit vince s family hard. hearing the news that vince was killed it was horrible. but what the justice system did was unfair. when they threw that out of court, i was devastated all over again. we thought that she was going to walk away. we thought that they were going to get away with. it but prosecutor pryor wasn t window without a fight. she filed a motion with the kentucky court of appeals. jessie and jarred meanwhile, we re out and about relatively free. how did you feel about both jessie and jarred being out on
he was afraid that i would be mad at him. and i wasn t mad at him. vince had two sons from two relationships by the time he was 18. but janet says, he only ever saw them as blessings. how is vince as a dad? he was awesome. he changed that diaper, he d clean up that puke. he didn t care. his kids were his world. then, someone else entered his world, a hometown girl named jessie long. vince loved her unconditionally and you could see it. he was happy, he loved her. and janet says he started to settle down, moved in with jessie s family and quickly bonded with her dad, a vietnam vet. he was the one who suggested the military might be a good way for vince to get on the straight and narrow. so, vince joined the army in 2005. he was 21 years old. this is a boy who s gone from baggy pants and spiky hair to now he s going to have the military cut in the uniform. i mean, that s like a one 180 for vince? it is a 180. it s what he needed. you must have been very proud of him? i
