Absolutely.

If you're going to commit a crime, if you want to get rid of your spouse and claim it was an accidental shooting, that's the place to do it.

You're not going to have any witnesses.

So here's the thing about Danny Joe.

She was completely unafraid of.

what might happen in that interview.

You know, a lot of people we talk with you and I, right.

They are worried about how they're going to come off and they're worried about possible legal ramifications, um, that, uh, uh, that might follow, right.

Are they going to get charged?

Are they going to be implicated in some way?

Are they going to get sued?

Uh, Danny Joe was not worried about any of that.

she was completely forthright.

And, you know, her testimony, like, did not get Tex off the hook.

And although there was rampant speculation at the time that, you know, she was in on it with Tex, either because they were having an affair or because he was going to, like, cut her in on the money or something like that, none of that turned out to be true either.

There was no relationship between Danny Joe and Tex except a friendly one.

And she was sort of as much Diane's friend or maybe more so than Tex.

I mean, there was nothing going on there, which is, again, as I sort of was talking about before, like...

Like, if you're going to kill your wife, you are not going to do it in front of somebody who you don't know is going to back up your own story.

Sure.
