After surviving the attempt on his life, Rob Whedbee knew he had to carry on with life. There was no time for getting caught in the mire of the trauma he had suffered from the cunning manipulation of his wife and the attempt on his life. He had two children to care for and a living to make, and so he carried forward with determination, encouraged by the support of his family and friends. He believed his wife and her lover would be appropriately dealt with by the legal system and face a punishment fitting of their crimes. He was ill-prepared for what transpired in the halls of justice.
The defense presented lie after lie
with no pretense of evidence. Suddenly, he was no longer the victim
as he was defamed and vilified as some kind of mad monster. He beat
his wife, he repeatedly raped her, he abused the children...The
assassination of his character continued day after day as the jury
hung on every word spewed by the defense. Rob learned that the scales
of justice are not balanced, and facts and evidence are not enough.
It seemed the truth didn't matter if you told a good lie. That fact would haunt him for years.
