At dinner last week, Chris and Roby Marshall grappled with the unthinkable: Their father actually might be paroled from jail in the murder of their mother. How would they cope? And what could they do to stop it? It was a conversation no brothers should have — but life has been a series of unthinkable conversations for the Marshalls...

"We're going to stand up and defend our mom," said Christopher Marshall in an interview with the Asbury Park Press. "We're going there in person to send a clear message. We believe going there in person is the most compelling way to make our case."

Next month, Christopher, 48, and his older brother, Roby, 49, will travel to the state Parole Board in Trenton where they will plead with all 15 members to keep their father incarcerated... "We feel he should stay in (prison) — forever," Christopher said on behalf of himself and Roby.

A New Jersey man whose plot to hire a hit man to kill his wife became the inspiration for the book "Blind Faith" and a TV movie has died. Robert O. Marshall was 75.

New Jersey's Department of Corrections says Marshall died Saturday at South Woods State Prison.

Hi,

Hope it's OK to post this here: Robert O. Marshall, husband of the murdered Maria Marshall and subject of the "Blind Faith" book and mini-series, died in prison the other day: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/25/n...-region&region=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well

Wow, I remember when that case was prominent and when the book came out and was such a big best-seller. Hard to believe it was that long ago!
