Something isn't right here.... There is no way she would have been married at a prison without knowing that her intended husband was on death row. She may have been naive enough not to even ask or do any investigating but I don't believe the prison would have let her marry him without her knowing the truth. Deathrow prisoners aren't allowed contact visits either- even for their weddings- so something just isn't making sense. I'm not proud of the fact that I was a prison wife the 13 years so I know a little more about the system than the average bear and I can promise you- she knew he wasn't coming home.
