Shots fired in Westworth Village
“You promise to be faithful to Him in times of happiness or trials.” Madeleine Brockway didn’t think she would have to follow through on a sacred obligation so quickly.

A threat
Did Jacob LaGrone knowingly cheat on his wife? Didn’t Madeleine Brockway know her husband-to-be was on borrowed time?

So many questions that remain unanswered at this point, pending the jury’s decision, which should be known in the coming days. According to the indictment cited Set free It is stated that Lagrone “deliberately and knowingly threatened [les officiers] of direct bodily injury” and “used or displayed a deadly weapon during the attack, namely a firearm.” That’s why the Texas District Attorney’s Office offered him a deal: no life sentence, but twenty-five years in prison, all the same. Everything about this romance bears the seeds of a Hollywood film, the title of which we can already suggest, taken from a collection of poetry by William Blake; The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
