Guilty Domestic Battery
Guilty 2nd Degree Murder

RIP Kendy

Did they say why 2nd degree? I tried watching the trial but it seemed like it was going really slow. I’ll have to give it another try.

Judge has his number and won't give him a low sentence. He knows all of the dirty details of his past that the jury didn't get to know.

I might not ever agree with murder in the second degree, as opposed to first degree, but I didn't sit there through the trial. I tip my hat in great gratitude to the jury who had to sit through this trial. Thank you.

Not that I've heard. They deliberated so long I bet they were split between 1st and 2nd.

Previous arrests​

About 10 years ago, Daniel Howard learned his wife had an affair with one of his friends, the Kootenai County Prosecutor’s Office said in a 2015 Spokesman-Review story. Daniel Howard then threatened his friend and, later poured syrup in his vehicles, left him vulgar messages and fired a shotgun in his house, the prosecutor’s office alleged. Daniel Howard admitted to some of those acts and agreed to pay restitution.

Investigators also found thousands of rounds of ISP ammunition at Daniel Howard’s Athol residence and said the ammo had disappeared when they returned weeks later with a search warrant. He claimed he kept the ammo at his house for convenience because he was a shooting range officer and lived near the range.

He was sentenced in early 2015 for malicious injury to property, petty theft, title fraud and failing to tag a deer he shot.

Hopefully Kendy's son and the rest of her family can start the process of reconciling. From what he said on the stand they were close before the murder.

Julie doesn't pull any punches, does she?!
And she's right...Daniel Howard is a simple self-centered bully and .
I hope he enjoys his time in prison. (Was a prison sentence worth not losing half of your assets Dan?? You thought killing your wife was the best strategy? Really?)
