In first interview since being accused of murder in Texas, a TV bailiff sobs, "I live with it every day"
CBSN
Former Texas sheriff's deputy Renard Spivey had a long television career as the courtroom bailiff on the show "Justice for All with Judge Cristina Perez." In 2019, his life changed drastically when he was arrested for his wife's murder.
Shortly after 3 a.m. on July 28, 2019, police were called to the Houston home of Renard and his 52-year-old wife Patricia. When first responders arrived, they found Patricia dead in the closet with multiple gunshot entry and exit wounds. Renard, 63, had a bullet wound in his leg. He told first responders that he and his wife had been arguing and were tussling over his gun when it fired. Officers doubted Renard's claims.
They wondered why a man of Renard's size — 6'3" and around 290 pounds — would need to struggle with his wife, who was just 5'6", over a gun. They also questioned how a gun could go off multiple times by accident. Renard was charged with his wife's murder. CBS News consultant and former prosecutor Lisa Andrews explains, "The multiple shots is definitely what gives everyone a lot of pause as to why it's not an accident."
