You people read too far into things.. uncle Jay was an abusive man. . He might not of deserved this but he definitely wasn’t innocent victim.
Also her mental state might of not been in the right place; I don’t think anyone ever truly gets back to normal after losing a child.
Jay Venable, 50, of Carthage, Texas, was killed on April 28, 2015, by a single gunshot wound to the head at his home in the Murvaul Community on Panola County Road 121. Sarah Venable was taken into custody at the scene and later arrested for murder, with bond set at $500,000.
Court records show she submitted her resignation from a teaching position earlier that year and the couple had been experiencing marital problems. Sarah Venable claimed she was not in her right mind at the time, prompting a motion for a mental exam; the case proceeded to trial with witness testimony and evidence from both sides. She was ultimately convicted of murder and sentenced to prison for the killing.
If anyone knew Jay or the Venable family, or has information about the days leading up to April 28, 2015, please share what you know.
