there was a time, the first two thing i would talk to would be denise. and there were several times within the first few days, after her death, trying to figure out what to do with the children next. i just want to grab the phone and call her. she was my support. but denise was not there to support nathan. because the state, argued, he killed her. you have eyewitness identification, dna, gunshot residue, motive? and they all point to one person. and he sitting right across from you. nathan s trial began on july 14th. exactly 17 months after the murder. reporter, bo ebenezer, covered the trial for nbc s w. ike in pizzeria. we re a lot of people anxious for this trial to start? i think a lot of people are anxious, especially the family, the family wanted to find out what really happened.
brother could quite to a process. he was part of our family for 17 years. he was like a son to us. and to think that he could actually just shooter in the head. and this is a man who s devoted his life to being a good person? exactly. but by the time nathan went on trial, she had changed her mind. he had been leading a double life. just a bad dream that wouldn t end. this just won t end until nathan is convicted. here at the pure county courthouse the trial was big news in trial in town. he was a missionary, accused of killing his wife in an upscale neighborhood. things like that just don t happen in pizzeria. nathan pleaded not guilty. he insisted he would have never done anything to harm his beloved wife.
