understanding you've reached a verdict is that correct yes your honor did it ever occur to you that your dad would be
00:00:36
blamed for the death of your mother mr kendammer if you please rise absolutely not me the jury find the defendant todd
00:00:43
a kendhammer guilty a first degree intentional homicide is charged in the information husbands kill
00:00:48
their wives all the time husbands kill our wives where only they know the motive
00:00:54
every day but it happens all [Music] 806 am on a friday morning car accident yes a place or something
00:01:12
came through a windshield he reported that there was an accident where a truck lost the pipe and it hit his wife
00:01:19
and he needed help she stopped breaking out her northern mouth he tried to do cpr while she bled all over
00:01:28
you're doing great i think he was just frantic [Music] this is the driver this is todd i gotta see if she's okay
00:01:41
well just wait let them do their work okay the only thing he really cared about was what's happening to barbara
00:01:47
and when can i see her she don't like to be alone no i wonder what [Music] the injuries on barbara did not occur by
00:02:01
a pipe coming through the windshield do you believe that todd kendhammer murdered his wife yes
00:02:08
and they exhaustively searched for a motive in this case no infidelity no financial trouble no life insurance no
00:02:18
domestic violence history no argument history do i know why he did it all i don't i
00:02:25
know it didn't happen from a pipe coming off a truck because there was no truck and none of his story is true
00:02:33
what are we looking at here here's the area where the pipe went through the windshield you can tell standing right
00:02:39
next to it it's pretty easy to take a pipe and hit it just like that it only makes
00:02:42
sense one way is that he caused her injuries caused her death and tried to cover it up
00:02:48
there was a sensational narrative the way the state wanted to present it a man kills his wife stages an accident
00:02:56
the jury was given a very narrow view of what really happened and what the evidence really showed
00:03:04
[Music] what do you want people to know about your father that he's not a bad person
00:03:11
he didn't do this and he deserves to come home do you think that todd kendhammer got a
00:03:19
fair trial no i don't all right if this could happen to todd kendhammer it could happen to anybody
00:03:29
[Music] you
