explained what they believed happened and pointed them in the direction. So she was like, he did it. Wow. Yeah, she was like, that's fucked up. And Grady was sitting in a large overstuffed chair, the gun sitting on an end table beside him. And according to Detective Joseph Stottlemyre, when the arresting officers entered the room, he said, take me, I'm ready. And he was arrested without incident.

Okay. The bullet entered Jack's chest on the left side and exited from his right shoulder. He was rushed to the hospital by ambulance, but he died a few hours later from his wounds. Oh, that's just awful. That also escalated the crime from attempted murder to second-degree murder. Grady was taken to the county jail to await his arraignment.

I think it was because... He said he was going to. That's very much first degree. That's what I'm saying. I think that should have been first degree. Yeah. I don't think it would have mattered either way. Because in the meantime, a coroner's inquest was held to determine exactly what the fuck happened in that apartment.

And during the inquest, Donna explained that she and Jack had run off together a few weeks earlier and that her father had, quote, not been happy about the impending marriage.

though he had consented to it. During his testimony, Detective Stottlemyre recounted Grady's statement, telling the panel of the jury that Grady claimed he had heard talk in the street that Lane, which is Jack, had been saying nasty things about his daughter, and he had taken all he could take, pulled out his .32 caliber revolver, and shot Lane. Yeah, that's not how it happened.

No, that's not it at all. Grady was arraigned on a charge of third-degree murder. And in early 1979, the case went to trial. Over the course of several weeks, a number of family members testified that Grady had made threats towards Jack and Donna, and Donna herself testified that she had been with her father when he purchased the gun.

However, several other witnesses, including Grady, indicated he had purchased the gun because Barbara had been receiving threatening phone calls. Okay, okay. Testifying in his own defense, Grady told the jury that Donna had changed since she started dating Jack. Yeah, she was probably happier. She was more independent.

She would sneak out of the house late at night and come home sometimes with beer on her breath. Oh, honey. Okay, Glasshouse. For real. Okay, Glasshouse. Grady also claimed that once they were alone, Jack had come at him in a menacing fashion. I bet. And he said, I don't know what came over him, but I was scared, I guess, of him killing me. Okay. I doubt it. Yeah.

As for all the contradictory evidence and witness statements, Grady claimed all those people, including the police, got together and fabricated their stories. The police often do that. That's a real dumb thing to say.

On February 22nd, 1979, the jury retired for deliberation and returned a little over three hours later to find Grady guilty of third degree murder. When the verdict was read, Grady began weeping at the defense table. The verdict came as a surprise to many, including the prosecutor, who actually expected an acquittal with Tom because of sympathy for his condition.
