Did Buford Pusser really kill his wife???

[Gixxer]

I am making this statement out of a great deal of ignorance, that having been said.....

The official story I always heard is the man went toe to toe with organized criminals and made a positive impact on the community he served. He seems to have been the target of assassination attempts during his career which more or less proves he was causing problems for these professional criminals.

Criminals have no real rules, but the system does. Which they use to their advantage. A man would essentially have to be what the book would consider "corrupt" to actually put a hurt on such an illegal enterprise. So that claim always falls flat to me. And if he was corrupt in the general sense. He can join the club. They're almost all crooks. But the crook that overall makes life better for the citizens they represent is better than most of them.

I agree wholeheartedly with the above post on them using taxpayer time and resources to make a case against a dead man who (by all accounts) did a lot of good in his career. Could be far better spent, I don't know, catching active criminals?

I don’t know if he killed her or not. But the local district attorney said if he were still alive, there is enough evidence to charge him and to bring him with indictment.
Hard to believe he could’ve killed her outside of the car,(as they are accusing him) and then stage an accident so severe that he spent next 18 days in the hospital?

Could it possibly be the D A might want his name in the headlines . Maybe he has to run again for office soon. He should check with Kamala as he might get elected without any votes.

Sounds a lot like Trump. Just saying….

What are they going to do dig him up and put his corpse on trial?
Aren't there plenty of crimes being committed on a daily basis that these investigators could be spending their taxpayer funded time working on?

Obviously you have never had a family member or a good friend be the victim of a violent crime. People need closure. So if don't go making statement's when you have no idea what it means to others who are praying to get answers... no matter how long it takes.

‘Walking Tall’ sheriff accused of murdering his wife following cold case twist: authorities

This is crazy - came out a few days ago. I've also read that he was corrupt...

Most sheriffs are. I read article to sounds like he had been abusing his wife off & own?

Hard to believe a guy would shoot himself in the face 2 or 3 times to stage his wife's murder. Lots of questions to consider even today.

Might botched a sucide attempt.

Someday,,this post might be "prosecution exhibit A".

Sounds personal to you and I'm sorry for that and I in no way mean to devalue someones life but it's a still a story without an ending and always will be because the deceased sheriff can't be placed in front of a jury of his peers.
It's not the CIA assassinating the Kennedy's and the answer isn't going to result in anything other than a few headlines for a few days.
Did the man kill his wife? I have no idea.
Did the fact that the man may have killed his wife have affect on anything in the here and now? Absolutely not and there are plenty of active crimes and missing children cases that these great investigators could be working on that could have consequences in the now and the near future.
If they felt the sheriff was guilty and told the family the same and the family already knew and believed it then what was gained by what could only have been a massively expensive and time consuming operation other than publicity?
Just for the record my mom was murdered but I don't dwell on it because it was long ago and all parties concerned have long since went to stand in front of the final judge.
