Michael Shaver’s Attorney

The common theme of all of them would have been, leave me alone. I don't want to have anything to do with you. Just leave me alone. I don't have family.

His car was still there. His guns were still there.

Yes.

His activity on Facebook was usually pictures of himself, pictures of friends, pictures about the plane that they would work on. All of that ended and then it started up with various silly memes that were just not in keeping with his personality whatsoever.

We knew he was last seen November 7th and didn't show up to work November 10th. So we believe it happened during those three days that he was killed by Lori.

Lori really wanted to be with Jeremy. She actively sought to ruin that relationship between Jeremy and his wife.

Was there ever a time that Lori He went on and said, I had nothing to do with this.

Facebook helped solve the murder.

Was there a period of time where you reached out to Michael Shaver in an attempt to communicate with him?

And what was that response?

You don't know what grade you were in when that happened, right?

You don't know what month this happened in, correct?

You don't know what year this happened in, correct?

I think it was very clear that she was willing to do whatever she could to try to protect her mother and avoid her mom going to prison. It also is not consistent at all with any of the physical evidence. Her version of events involved two shots, and there was absolutely no question that there was only one shot in this case, and that was the one to the back of the head.

The biggest question I have for you is when did your husband get killed?

When he left and moved out, he left his car, correct? He stopped going to work and lost his job because of it, correct?

November 2015, he just vanishes off the face of the earth. No one can account for him, correct?

The day that he showed up in May of 2016, what vehicle did he use to get to your house that day? So he gets walked? When you take what she said happened there that day and then just break it down with, well, if that's true, where was Mike's car? If that's true, when his body is found, why is he dressed like he was in bed sleeping?

She made up this May 2016 story to distract. Jeremy Townsend talked to law enforcement three separate times. evidence that has been presented is not that in May of 2016 Jeremy Townsend shot this man in the back of the head. It's that Lori killed him in November of 2015. Mike is buried in her backyard. She's the one that installs the fire pit and puts the cement slab over his body.

She lied to friends, family, and law enforcement about his whereabouts for years. All the evidence points to her because she is guilty of murder in the second degree. Thank you.

We are dealing with a scenario where we have the allegations made by Lori Shaver.

Mike's version of offense was she was the one that grabbed the gun. She was the one that was initiating the violence. He was trying to calm the situation down.

Ultimately, Michael was arrested for not anything dealing with the firearms, but he admitted, I grabbed her, and law enforcement arrested him for battery.
