0:00 don't be afraid of 0:01 violence it's good for you I mean 0:04 there's three things that make our 0:06 existence right art fing and killing so 0:13 art kill John battalia was a terrible 0:16 husband and father who stooped to 0:18 unbelievably evil depths for revenge and 0:20 this video explains how after her 0:22 husband turned abusive Mary Jane made 0:25 the decision to divorce JN for her own 0:27 safety it was at that moment that she 0:29 learned of his ter terrible history 0:30 which he had hidden from her for more 0:32 than a decade over the following months 0:34 she did her best to keep him at arms 0:36 length but with two shared daughters it 0:38 felt almost impossible to get rid of him 0:41 sadly he would do anything to make her 0:43 life a misery even if it meant resorting 0:46 to the worst crime 0:48 possible welcome or welcome back to 0:50 Coffee House crime folks my name is 0:52 Adrien and as always I've got another 0:54 Darkly fascinating story for you this 0:56 one's probably one of the most saddest 0:58 and sadistic cases that I've covered CED 1:00 and this guy well he really did take 1:02 revenge to a whole new level and by the 1:04 way I've got some very exciting projects 1:06 in the pipeline coming very very soon so 1:08 please do make sure you're subscribed 1:10 for more information until then check 1:12 out my patreon or Instagram and now with 1:14 that said please grab yourself a coffee 1:16 pull up a seat and get ready for the 1:17 Deep dive this is the case of John The Battaglia family 1:28 battalia how did folks the year is 2001 1:32 and we're traveling to one of America's 1:34 busiest States Texas more specifically 1:37 our story occur and the sprawling city 1:39 of Dallas home of the Cowboys frozen 1:42 margaritas and apparently financial 1:44 banking it is here that once upon a time 1:47 we could have found the somewhat broken 1:49 and estranged battalia 1:51 family consisting of John battalia Mary 1:54 Jane Pearl and her two daughters faith 1:56 and Liberty battalia we'll get back to 1:58 the likes of Mr B Talia soon as there is 2:01 quite a lot to unpack there but circling 2:03 back to the mother and her children Mary 2:05 was a loving parent who adored her two 2:07 daughters being 9 years old at the time 2:10 this video takes place Mary Faith who 2:13 was the eldest of the two children was 2:14 born in 1992 she was known to be a real 2:18 tomboy hated the color pink and refused 2:20 to play with dolls and if she was ever 2:23 given a dress to where well that would 2:25 never go down well apparently in stark 2:28 contrast Liberty battalia who was born 2:30 in 1995 was only 6 years old she grew up 2:34 as a quintessential girly daughter 2:36 reving and dressing up playing with 2:38 Barbies and dolls and performing dance 2:40 for her mother despite their contrasting 2:42 preferences both sisters found no 2:44 trouble in getting along though they 2:46 were almost Inseparable were polite and 2:48 kind to those around them and both 2:50 attended John Bradfield Elementary in 2:52 Highland Park looking at the pair side 2:55 by side in their School Portraits it is 2:57 easy to see their personalities and 2:59 differences is shining through while 3:01 Liberty sits hand on hip in a floral 3:03 dress Faith takes a more casual stance 3:05 in her red short sleeve baggy buttonup 3:08 shirt the two girls were quite lucky 3:10 their mother named Mary Jane Pearl was a 3:12 loving and devoted parent and she was 3:14 also a successful antique stealer the 3:16 happy family of three lived in the 3:18 affluent suburb of Highland Park found 3:20 in Dallas it's a shame that I can't 3:22 leave the story here and that's because 3:24 their father named John battalia was 3:26 still in the picture when it came to his 3:28 personality behav 3:30 Integrity pretty much everything else he 3:33 was an entirely different story although 3:35 John and Mary did initially love each 3:37 other this would not last forever and so 3:40 after marrying in 1991 and having two 3:42 kids they would divorce in 1999 so the 3:45 next big question is who was John who 3:48 was this man and why did Mary divorce 3:50 him unfortunately answering those three 3:53 questions will leave you rather outraged 3:55 and 3:57 disgusted born on the second of of John's terrible behaviour 3:59 August 1955 John with the last name 4:02 reminiscent of Pastor hinted at his 4:05 Italian Heritage Jon's Roots can be 4:07 traced back to a military base in 4:09 Alabama where Julia and John battalia 4:11 Senior welcomed him into a rather 4:13 nomadic existence from Alabama to Texas 4:16 then to Washington DC Oregon and New 4:19 Jersey their constant relocations 4:21 characterized the life of a military 4:23 family often forced around the country 4:25 as a military child Jon experienced a 4:28 strict and harsh up his father John 4:30 battalia Senior enforced discipline 4:33 throughout rather physical punishment 4:35 becoming rather aggressive and wielding 4:37 belts if his children failed to comply 4:39 with his orders the household rule was 4:42 clear here do as I say and don't ask 4:45 questions with the consequence of the 4:47 beating if they did not listen to their 4:49 parents now living in such an unkind 4:52 manner has been extensively studied with 4:54 research indicating that this form of 4:56 parenting will inflict significant 4:58 psychological trauma on a child despite 5:01 the challenging environment John 5:02 reserved his affection for his mother 5:04 Julia who was the Peacekeeper of the 5:06 home unfortunately though Julia's mental 5:08 struggles led her to confinement in a 5:10 mental institution in 1972 when John Jor 5:14 was only 17 years old and battling 5:16 severe depression she eventually turned 5:19 to alcohol as a coping mechanism in the 5:21 meantime John embarked on a dynamic 5:23 Young Life touring with bands serving in 5:26 the military trying his hand at modeling 5:28 and earning an account ing degree a 5:30 degree which will eventually become the 5:32 profession he settled into now before 5:34 his marriage with Mary he was actually 5:36 in a previous marriage with Michelle gy 5:39 with this marriage also resulting in a 5:40 daughter named christe and although this 5:43 relationship would end in 1987 Jon 5:45 continued to care for his daughter 5:47 following the end of his first marriage 5:49 Jon would eventually find Mary Jane 5:52 Pearl with their wellwise resulting in 5:54 marriage on April the 6th 1991 at the 5:57 time John seemed to be Charming polite 6:00 and exceedingly generous to those around 6:02 him unfortunately though as you will 6:04 soon find out this was all just a facade 6:07 it was over the next 8 years that the 6:09 couple welcomed two daughters into the 6:11 world Mary faith in 1992 and her sister 6:14 Liberty in 1995 from an external 6:17 perspective the growing family seemed to 6:19 be quite happy in their life in Highland 6:21 Park however behind closed doors 6:24 challenges arose in John and Mary's 6:26 relationship because post wedding John 6:29 underw a very noticeable transformation 6:32 The Man became irritable prone to 6:34 shouting and occasionally raised his 6:36 fist though never striking initially but 6:38 over these years Jon's Behavior 6:40 escalated to belittling Mary 6:42 manipulating her actions and constantly 6:45 undermining her but despite these 6:47 difficulties Mary attempted to keep the 6:49 family together especially after the 6:52 birth of Liberty the verbal abuse in 6:54 their relationship was never constant 6:57 instead Jon adopted an erratic hot and 6:59 cold approach one moment he would be 7:02 deeply enamored with his wife and the 7:04 next he would erupt into fits of 7:06 shouting now it's probably worth 7:08 mentioning here that Jon had bipolar 7:10 disorder his demeanor and his behavior 7:13 would never be consistent with his wife 7:15 and this forced her into a continuous 7:17 state of confusion and discomfort 7:20 leaning into this Jon was also a man of 7:23 many masks and so despite the verbal 7:25 abuse he was able to keep it hidden from 7:28 those around him he would never display 7:30 his violent behavior in front of their 7:32 two daughters who were from everyone's 7:35 perspective his pride and joy to 7:37 onlookers including Mary herself John 7:40 was devoted to his daughters often 7:42 showering them with both support and 7:44 affection many believed he would never 7:46 harm his daughters as he never once 7:48 raised his voice spanked them physically 7:51 hurt them or even scolded them and 7:53 although Mary felt rather unsafe herself 7:56 she believed that her daughters were 7:58 secure in the care of their 8:01 father so we have a classic wolf and 8:04 sheep's clothing situation going on here 8:06 what could possibly go wrong well 8:09 unfortunately this was merely the 8:11 beginning over the years they spent 8:13 together Mary would eventually defend 8:15 herself and bite back at John but John 8:18 he would double down and punish her even Too far. 8:20 harder Christmas of 1999 was supposed to 8:22 be like any other the family spent the 8:25 festive period together accompanied by 8:27 John's first daughter christe however 8:29 that is when things took a dark and 8:31 violent turn it was on Christmas Eve 8:33 that John attacked Mary for the very 8:35 first time and tragically it was in 8:38 front of all of their children the girls 8:40 begged their father to stop as he 8:42 punched and pushed her to the floor 8:43 leaving Mary covered in cuts and bruises 8:46 and obviously that was it for her the 8:48 very next day she reported him to the 8:50 police and filed for divorce with all 8:53 daughters witnessing the assault Jon 8:55 didn't have much room to deny his 8:57 actions and so with that in mind mind he 8:59 pleaded guilty to one count of 9:01 misdemeanor level assault and was given 9:03 2 years of probation this meant that Jon 9:06 was no longer permitted to live with 9:08 Mary which kind of makes sense because 9:10 she had already expressed that she did 9:12 not feel safe around him and of course 9:15 her daughters would stay with her now 9:17 despite John proving that he was 9:18 dangerous he was still allowed to see 9:21 his daughters in fact he would still see 9:23 them weekly babysitting them at his 9:26 place picking them up from school and 9:28 even visiting them at their mother's 9:30 house without any supervision Mary still 9:33 believed that JN would never harm his 9:35 children and that furthermore he loved 9:38 them more than life itself I mean as 9:40 I've already said he had never shown any 9:43 form of abuse towards his daughters but 9:45 little did Mary know that Jon was 9:47 capable of much worse than she could 9:50 imagine and neither did she know of his 9:52 terrible history a history that he had 9:55 kept hidden from her throughout their 9:57 entire time together and although Mary 9:59 was aware of his previous marriage she 10:02 wasn't quite aware of why it 10:06 ended as you may expect the reasoning Peeling back the onion. 10:09 behind the divorce was not sound at all 10:12 because as it turns out michella 10:14 divorced him after months of physical 10:16 abuse and as for the harassment well 10:18 that had become so bad that she had to 10:20 file a request for him to be arrested on 10:22 multiple occasions as she feared for her 10:24 and her daughter's safety Jon was not 10:26 discreet about his abusive Behavior 10:28 either 10:29 on one occasion he assaulted Michelle 10:31 right outside the front Gates of his 10:33 daughter's school on another he visibly 10:36 broke her nose Jon's violence only got 10:38 worse after these altercations 10:40 eventually leading Michelle to file for 10:42 divorce and John he was Furious about 10:45 the news in fact upon finding out he 10:48 attacked her so severely that she had to 10:50 be admitted to hospital and all of this 10:52 happened at a public bus stop the 10:54 authorities were Swift to involve 10:56 themselves after this but sadly it was 10:59 already too little too late because 11:02 although Jon wouldn't hide his cowardly 11:04 attack on Michelle he had still caused 11:06 her more Grievous harm after she alerted 11:09 the authorities following his assault 11:11 John pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor 11:13 charge and began his first 2-year 11:15 probation he then discarded his wife and 11:18 daughter leaving the two of them to pick 11:20 their lives up as he looked for a new 11:22 woman to terrorize and so John's and 11:24 Michelle's marriage ended in 1987 and 11:27 then shortly after 11:29 Along Came Mary Jane Pearl although it 11:32 was evident that JN had a long history 11:34 of violence it was only after filing a 11:37 report herself that Mary became aware 11:39 and of course after this discovery it 11:42 only further solidified her resolve in 11:44 the divorce despite his probation 11:47 demanding that John refrain from 11:48 messaging Mary he would ignore these 11:50 instructions and continue to harass her 11:53 instead he further told her that if she 11:55 were to revoke his probation he would 11:58 stop the harass M and So eventually she 12:01 complied sadly This Promise did not last 12:05 long it was in Easter of 2011 that Mary 12:08 gifted their daughter a $50 gift card 12:10 but later that night John left Mary a 12:13 terrible message on the answering 12:15 machine Mary Jean next time you give my 12:17 daughter $50 why don't you tell her how 12:20 you screwed her out of her college fund 12:22 you effing Pig how does that feel Pig 12:25 simultaneously John began to verbally 12:27 bash Mary Jane in front of his 12:29 colleagues he would often tell them how 12:31 vile she supposedly was and revealed 12:34 that she was Banning him from seeing his 12:36 daughters of course he made himself out 12:38 to be an innocent and devoted father and 12:41 claimed that he just wanted a normal 12:43 life with his family however his 12:45 Whimsical facade would not last forever 12:48 over the next 2 years his resentment 12:51 towards Mary simmered steadily 12:53 approaching a new boiling point and all 12:56 of this venomous hate was sure to erupt 12:58 in in one of the most terrific and 13:00 unpredictable ways May 2001... 13:04 possible May 2001 as John moved through 13:08 the first half of the year he began to 13:10 violate his probation more and more 13:12 frequently this was marked by frequent 13:14 incidents such as public drunkenness 13:16 marijuana use curfew breaches and 13:19 relentlessly harassing Mary with so many 13:22 violations the police had instructed him 13:24 to turn himself into police custody but 13:26 instead of doing the right thing he 13:28 decided to see his daughters instead 13:30 hiding all of this information from Mary 13:32 in the process meeting faith and Liberty 13:35 from a neutral zone parking lot John 13:37 took them home for dinner while Mary 13:39 watched the three of them drive away 13:41 with him living at Adam Hat's loft 13:43 apartments located in Dallas it wasn't a 13:46 long drive away using her time alone to 13:48 relax she then made her way to a 13:50 friend's home for dinner and a catch up 13:52 Mary had done this many times before and 13:55 today was supposed to be no different 13:57 but tragically she would be Gravely 14:00 wrong it was roughly 2 hours into her 14:02 evening that she received an unexpected 14:05 phone call picking up the phone her 14:07 youngest daughter was on the other end 14:09 of the line but something appeared to be 14:11 off she seemed extremely upset all she 14:15 could manage to say to her mother 14:16 through tears were why do you want Daddy 14:19 to go to jail Mary's stomach dropped it 14:21 immediately became clear that her girls 14:24 were not safe in the presence of their 14:26 father all she could do now was tell her 14:28 six-year-old daughter to run and find 14:31 safety but what happened next was 14:33 unbelievable following her plea to run 14:36 Mary heard several gunshots ring out 14:38 over the phone first it was two then a 14:40 short succession of five followed by 14:43 silence that was until JN picked up the 14:45 phone before saying Merry [ __ ] 14:48 Christmas that being a cold reference to 14:51 the day that she reported him to the 14:53 police that phone call must have been 14:56 the most unbelievable moment in Paul's 14:58 life she had long known that Jon was a 15:00 bad apple but for him to murder his own 15:03 daughters that was just far beyond her 15:06 darkest imagination she ended the call 15:08 and DED 911 immediately she had to act 15:11 fast if there was any chance of her 15:13 daughter surviving they would need 15:14 medical treatment as soon as possible to 15:17 make the situation more complicated 15:19 officers knew that Jon may be there and 15:21 armed and dangerous and so officers had 15:23 to be very careful but after being given 15:25 the all clear with medical personnel 15:27 rushing to say face Liberty they were 15:29 sadly pronounced dead at the scene 15:32 detectives would find 16 Firearms 15:34 located throughout the entire property 15:36 as it turns out he was not collecting 15:38 them merely for self-defense with Jon 15:41 nowhere to be found after police stormed 15:43 the property it appeared as if he had 15:45 cowardly fled the scene but he would 15:47 only do that after leaving a chilling 15:49 voice message on the answer 15:51 machine the message read good night my 15:54 little babies I hope you're resting in a 15:57 different place I love love you I wish 15:59 that you had nothing to do with your 16:01 mother she was evil vicious stupid you 16:04 will be free of her I love you very 16:07 dearly you were Brave Girls very brave 16:10 Liberty you were oh so brave I love you 16:13 so much bye this voice message would 16:17 only further break Mary's heart JN had 16:20 murdered their daughters for the sole 16:22 purpose of Revenge for reporting him to 16:24 officers and with this dangerous man out 16:27 amongst the public nobody knew if anyone 16:30 else was at risk an active search was 16:32 executed with the authorities and 16:34 volunteers alike looking for him within 16:36 the hour and thankfully it would not 16:39 take long for Jon to be tracked down the 16:41 man was found at a local tattoo parlor 16:43 getting commemorative tattoos of a rose 16:46 on his left bicep that being to 16:48 symbolize the two daughters he had just 16:50 mercilessly slaughtered what kind of 16:52 sick person does that following his 16:55 Discovery Jon was apprehended outside of 16:57 the tattoo parlor but only after getting 17:00 into a fist fight with officers outside 17:02 quite frankly he is lucky that he wasn't 17:04 shot on sight with him now in custody 17:07 all eyes were on Mary and her daughters 17:10 the community was devastated to learn of 17:12 the Dreadful news and many couldn't 17:14 fathom their father's deplorable actions 17:17 this was a moment when the community 17:19 banded together around Mary who was left 17:22 with one of the most harrowing ordeals a 17:25 mother could face their funeral would be 17:27 held soon after after with faith and 17:29 Liberty laid to rest alongside their 17:31 grandfather in Hillcrest 17:34 Cemetery in the meantime John was Legal Proceedings 17:36 incarcerated while he waited for his 17:38 trial to begin this would take almost 17:40 one year to commence beginning in April 17:43 2002 and as expected John battalia was 17:45 charged with the most severe crime 17:47 possible that being two counts of 17:49 capital murder you know John's actions 17:51 were so vile that he now actually holds 17:54 Coffee House crimes fastest record and 17:56 deliberation timing that being 19 17:59 minutes it took the jury only 19 minutes 18:01 to determine his fate for the rest of 18:03 his life that is how confident and angry 18:06 they were at the man being found guilty 18:08 with two counts of capital murder Jon 18:10 Now faced life in prison without the 18:12 possibility of parole or with it being 18:15 the state of Texas the death penalty 18:17 Jon's defense argued that since he had 18:19 bipolar disorder he had diminished 18:21 responsibility for his actions and 18:23 therefore should not face the death 18:25 penalty rightfully so this motion was 18:27 denied in fact just 8 days after being 18:30 found guilty Jon had the luxury of 18:32 having his tattoo needles upgraded to 18:34 the spicy needle because he was 18:36 sentenced to death via lethal injection 18:39 following his final sentencing Mary Jane 18:41 Pearl would say you are one of the most 18:43 heinous murderers of modern times I 18:46 would like to say the next time you see 18:47 me is when they put that needle in your 18:49 arm but I'm not going to waste my time 18:52 by being there and it wasn't only his 18:54 recently divorced ex-wife who would 18:56 endorse his execution either either 18:58 Michelle gy and his only surviving 19:00 daughter christe both believed he was a 19:03 twisted man beyond Rehabilitation 19:05 christe eventually reached out to her 19:07 father though she never forgave or 19:10 Justified his actions she understood 19:12 that Justice was due and so she never 19:15 fought his final sentence following this 19:18 John was held at the palansky unit near 19:20 Livingston in Texas which is hailed as 19:22 one of the hardest prisons to serve time 19:24 on death row being held here includes 22 19:27 hours of solitary confinement per day 19:30 and even so-called recreational time is 19:32 spent alone in a cage over the next 16 Twisted Interviews 19:36 years on death row johon would do 19:38 several interviews in which he talked 19:40 about his reasoning behind murdering his 19:42 daughters he often joked and talked 19:45 extremely matter of fact about his 19:47 crimes showing little remorse in the 19:50 process now on death row and with no way 19:52 out he knew that he was a dead man 19:54 walking with nothing to lose in his 19:57 Newfound comfort he commented on all 19:59 previous crimes including his assault 20:01 against his first wife Michelle attacked 20:04 Michelle uh I wouldn't really call it 20:06 attack went up to her where she's 20:08 walking down the sidewalk and I said 20:11 you're uh you're going to have to learn 20:12 this lesson and I just held her by the 20:14 shoulder and I popped her in the head 20:15 twice and you know she moved her head 20:18 the wrong way and I snapped her 20:20 nose the first blow that he hit me was 20:23 in my eye and it was like I felt my eye 20:26 hit the back of my head and come forward 20:29 but then he hit my nose which broke my 20:31 nose the bone punched through right here 20:34 and she fell down and I just walked away 20:37 she said I struck her about 20 times but 20:39 she was unconscious before she hit the 20:41 ground and then my jaw which dislocated 20:43 my jaw um and then I had like a big 20:46 bruise here and as I fell he just kept 20:49 hitting and once I hit the ground then 20:51 he just started kicking well the fact 20:53 that she got me put in prison she knows 20:56 that that uh the [ __ ] she pulled the 20:59 only way to keep from sending her front 21:02 teeth flying out her [ __ ] is to have 21:04 me behind this 21:06 glass cuz she's a [ __ ] and she deserved 21:10 to have the [ __ ] knocked out of her but 21:11 you know what the hell and when you 21:14 think about that instant how how does it 21:15 make you feel makes me feel like I 21:18 should have killed her she's such a pain 21:20 in the ass John also attended multiple 21:23 interviews where he claimed that he was 21:25 an excellent father calling himself a 21:27 fun and loving father to his three 21:29 children but considering how much of an 21:31 abusive nasty piece of work he was to 21:33 his previous wives I couldn't disagree 21:36 more I think I was a good father to 21:38 Liberty and Faith yes I I mean you know 21:41 I tried to be oh gosh oh my fondest 21:46 memory of my daughter's um well I have 21:49 another daughter she's 30 now 21:51 Christie when uh when we used to all get 21:54 together and go somewhere it was a kind 21:56 of a little bit of a three three ring 21:58 circus if you could imagine three highly 22:02 energetic fun little girls just having a 22:06 great time file for divorce I knew she 22:10 was going to betray me and that betrayal 22:12 would probably lead to all of our deaths 22:15 so I went and got their names John 22:17 failed to show any remorse throughout 22:20 all interviews and instead of facing his 22:22 shortfalls and apologizing he casually 22:25 chatted as if he were the main character 22:27 sitting at a bar his indifference to 22:29 others is very apparent here he acted as 22:31 if it were his way or the highway and he 22:34 felt Vindicated in teaching his Partners 22:36 a lesson whenever they stepped out of 22:38 line knowing he was on death row and 22:41 with no power and no way out Jon also 22:43 made it appear as if this was the way he 22:45 wanted to die as if it were better than 22:48 any other option available and it was on 22:50 his terms would I say I'm ready to be 22:55 executed I mean I don't want to be 22:59 cuz especially now that I'm speaking to 23:01 my daughter I like 23:03 that but 23:06 um I mean as far as like mentally 23:10 prepared yeah I mean it's not going to 23:12 be that big deal I mean it's better than 23:14 getting snuck up by somebody and shot in 23:16 the back or killed in a car crash and 23:20 you know chopped up the hamburger meat 23:23 or dying in some stupid son of a bitch's 23:25 war in some place so I mean of all the 23:30 possibilities it's not that bad it's 23:32 very clean and they're very nice to 23:35 you 23:37 considering I mean you could die of 23:39 cancer and have some big giant growth on 23:41 the side of your head or your brain 23:44 being 23:45 tumored but I mean just you go to sleep 23:49 it's kind of nice it's almost snow 23:53 whsh John balan's execution date was 23:56 initially scheduled for March the 3rd 23:57 30th 2016 but this was delayed several 24:01 times after he argued that he was not 24:03 eligible for such a sentence due to his 24:05 mental state these appeals were The end for you, John. 24:08 overturned multiple times with 24:10 psychologists contending that johon was 24:12 deliberately feigning ignorance after 24:14 several unsuccessful attempts to 24:16 overturn this Jon's execution date was 24:19 slated for February the 1st 2018 a 24:22 staggering 15 years after he murdered 24:25 his two young daughters now despite EXP 24:27 stressing that he was ready to die many 24:29 years prior Jon tried to push for an 24:31 appeal a mere few hours before he was 24:34 sentenced to death well too little too 24:36 late mate on February the 1st 2018 at 24:39 9:14 p.m. John battalia was executed by 24:43 lethal injection surprisingly despite 24:45 prior statements indicating otherwise 24:47 Mary Jane was present at his execution 24:50 in the days leading up to his execution 24:52 Jon persisted in claiming wrongful 24:54 conviction accusing his Ex-Wives defense 24:57 attorneys prosecutors the jury and even 25:00 the K Klux clan of conspiring against 25:03 him those who had known and once loved 25:05 John including his Ex-Wives and even his 25:08 surviving daughter concurred that the 25:10 death penalty was the fitting outcome 25:12 here during his execution the room was 25:14 split in two for witnessing one half to 25:16 be occupied by the victim's family and 25:18 friends and the other for Jon's family 25:21 and friends in a strong visual statement 25:23 to JN nobody occupied the latter half 25:27 after seeing Mary in the crowd John 25:29 would say well hi Mary Jane before 25:32 turning to the warden he further said 25:34 I'll see y later bye go ahead please 22 25:38 minutes later he was Remembering Faith and Liberty. 25:44 dead John batala's death spelled the end 25:46 of pain and misery to many near and far 25:49 everyone agreed that this was the right 25:51 outcome for his terrible actions as a 25:54 direct result of John batala's case the 25:56 state of Texas changed its law laws 25:57 around child visitation rights after 25:59 divorce taking any sort of domestic 26:02 violence into account this change was 26:04 way of a je for honest I mean it's quite 26:07 obvious to recognize that if you're 26:08 violent towards a previous spouse you 26:10 are capable of doing it again faith and 26:12 Liberty are now at rest next to their 26:14 grandfather and although it's been more 26:16 than 20 years they are still mourned to 26:18 the day by those who loved them with 26:20 their premature deaths faith and Liberty 26:22 are immortalized as young innocent girls 26:25 it is wild to think that faith would 26:27 have been the same age as me their 26:29 Futures was stolen by a man who is 26:31 supposed to care love support and 26:33 protect the two of them and as a result 26:36 they miss out on everything that life 26:38 could have been as I said John battalia 26:40 took the definition of Revenge to a 26:42 whole new level a level that is really 26:44 hard to beat in fact this man he is just 26:48 pure evil and it's a good thing that 26:49 he's gone anyway folks I think I'm going 26:51 to wrap this one up here today I think 26:53 I've covered all the bases before I go 26:55 though I'd love to know what you think 26:56 about this one do you think that Jon 26:58 should have received the death penalty 27:00 or remained behind bars for the rest of 27:01 his life to add to that it became quite 27:04 clear that Mary Jane had no idea about 27:06 John's history even after getting 27:07 married so do you think that should be 27:10 something that is identified in the 27:11 system or is that too Vigilant before I 27:14 go just a reminder that if you want 27:16
