The St. Clair Alabama courts run like mollasses in the winter. I am headed up to Tennessee in a few weeks to begin the process up there of revoking the marriage licence that Brian entered into, unknowingly, illegally. The law is clear. Bigamy in Tennessee is a Class A Misdemeaner.
In the meantime, the woman calling herself Brian's Widow has already carried on another relationship which produced a child (Brian died July 31, 2006, she was pregnant by May 31, 2007), and now she is working on her second relationship since Brian died 31 months and 19 days ago.
She still visits her ex in Prison.
She still removes my flowers from my son's grave.
UPDATE:April 2010
The St. Clair County Judge declared the marriage between my son and the woman claiming to be his wife legal for 28 days and not since May 20th! The Bigamy remains an issue! This leaves the door open just enough to keep the issue in the main stream!
I am heading into the fourth year without my son, without closure. I spend every hour of every day working towards justice in my sons case, and autopsy law. I cannot help but hear what is going on around me involving the parties. I'll get a phone call or an email telling me this and that. I find it very interesting that the "widow" is now dating a deployed Soldier. I pray for him.
No response yet from Tennessee. The search is on for the venue. So far it looks like it will be Alabama.
