## Resource

A 54 year old retired Navy intelligence officer meets a 24 year old ballerina at a political fundraiser. Then thirteen days later, they got married. What follows is a story filled with allegations of abuse, claims of poisoning, a failed ballet company, years of bitter custody litigation, psychological evaluations, restraining orders, and a marriage that seemed to be unraveling from the very beginning. Then, while preparing for a move to Maryland in September 2020, the couple found themselves alone inside a Florida home., and minutes later, one of them was shot dead. The survior claimed it was self defense, but the questions of what was true, and what was false was left for the courts to try and decide.
