  1. Enough of men getting screwed

  2. Thank you for talking about him as a person

  3. I guess it's not good to plot with a woman on another man's wealth. Even if it pays .

  4. Reporter : I'll do my best to sound like Lionel Hutz on this one.

  5. Man. The loss of a divorce lawyer. What a loss.

  6. Our condolences to the families and friends, May God Bless you with courage and strength in this difficult time 🙏🏼🙏🏼

  7. Never get married. Problem solved.

  8. He probably was taking the man for everything he had smh but the ex husband should’ve just killed himself if he wanted to hurt somebody 🤷🏾‍♂️

  9. Payback's a b****,. About time somebody evened the score with this BS they do for the POOR women all the time.

  10. Demon. Exterminate it immediately. Next

  11. MY FINANCIAL GOAL IS TO BE MAKING AT LEAST UP TO $1,000,000 EVERY YEAR BY INVESTING HEAVILY BOTH IN CRYPTO AND STOCK. I NEED GUIDIANCE. please comment below.

  12. Wtf, he dun murder the lawyer and set da office on fire!! Only in the movies SMH!! My condolences to everyone!!

  13. OMG it's just horrendous what happened to the innocent guy it's nobody fault that he was a lsr it's way his wife was going to divorce him .way people want others to pay for their mistakes .just ridiculous my condolences to the attorney family

  14. Wow. No wonder she divorced him. He's a dangerous individual.

  15. Al from Married with children

  16. Sad and avoidable outcome. Divorce laws can easily be changed to make it less painful. The person who files for divorce gives half their net worth to their former partner and if they both agree to the divorce they go their separate ways without gaining anything from each other. Easy peasy.

  17. Dangerous profession. I wouldn't touch it. Also, don't get legally married, makes a split easier.

  18. Well I guess this guy thought killing was better than a divorce but now he will live his life in prison.

  19. Sore loser kills lawyer who was defending his wife. No prizes for guessing which political persuasion he follows. The sore loser party

  20. What a waste of space that murderer is. No wonder his wife wanted out.

  21. He's a divorce lawyer.
    Guarantee he deserved it.

  22. Nothing more american than this story….convinced out of 300m people that 150m of them are murderous psychopaths. Only thing missing is a jesus fish on the murderers pickup truck.

  23. I guess the perp took Shakespeare seriously. A horrible tragedy guy just doing his job.

  24. Seems like a legitimate reason?

  25. The men in these these comments are bitter and evil crying somebody took my stuff and they were probably terrible husbands husbands

  26. No wonder she wanted a divorce.

  27. How is he gonna get mad at the lawyer for doing his job?

  28. to be honest im surprised that this doesnt happen more offen. that being said sad that this happens at all

  29. Oh well. Be a little more fair when it comes to men in divorce cases and men won’t go crazy

  30. Sad sad story .
    Condolences to the victim's family

  31. Another abuser murders those who helped his victim escaped.

  32. Why are so many men lately taking a few people with them when they off themselves? It’s beyond selfish and cowardly. So many wives, kids, grandparents, and now divorce attorney killed by an unhinged individual in last couple weeks.

  33. Moral of the story: don't get married. Don't even date. You have two hands ✋🤚

  34. Most lawyers are in for the money no matter how guilty and wrong the client is this should be a learning lesson to add stay professional

  35. Why people go into family law practice is beyond me.

  36. Nothing like committing felony murder to solve a problem that you could have walked away from.

  37. Hey you want to play that game you want to get involved in something like that usually ends up bad you know it sucks you know I just it sucks it's too bad that he lost his life for doing his f**** job

  38. Someone should have probably told him that that wouldn't stop the divorce proceedings

  39. Gee, I wonder why she wanted to divorce him 🙄
    What a shame they can’t see themselves clearly.
