Mobile, AL: Mobile jury gets wife-son slayings trial

MOBILE — A jury in Mobile is deliberating capital murder charges against Michael Woolf, who is charged with killing his wife and 2-year-old son.
Angel and Ayden Woolf were found shot to death inside their trailer home March 5, 2008.
Woolf testified in his own defense he accidentally shot his son during a fight with his wife, then shot at her.
The defense has argued he killed his wife in the heat of passion, which would constitute manslaughter.
Prosecutors said Woolf questioned whether the boy was his after learning of his wife’s extramarital affairs, and the boy became an extension of his wife’s betrayal.
Defense attorney Greg Evans said Woolf never intended to kill his family and argued the prosecution did not prove otherwise.
The jury got the case Monday.
