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.
A compilation of daily news articles from around the United States about deaths (including both people and animals) that appear to occur in the context of a past or present intimate relationship, focusing on 2009-present. (NOTE: this blog is limited to incidents that appear in the media and are captured by our search terms. We recognize this is not an exhaustive portrayal of all deaths resulting from intimate violence.) When is society going to realize intimate violence makes victims of us all?
