Chris Coleman on 48 Hours

If you saw 48 Hours this past weekend, it was a fascinating story about a couple, Chris and Sheri Coleman,  who were married twelve years, and supposedly became a target of hate mail.   They started receiving threatening letters targeting Chris because he worked for Joyce Meyer, a well known religious televangelist.  The letters hit Chris up to stop “preaching the bull”.

Move forward six months later, and the family is still receiving hate mail.  Chris goes to the gym one morning and tries to call his wife. He couldn’t reach her, so he calls a neighbor who happens to be an investigator at the local police department, Detective Justin Barlow.

Detective Barlow sadly finds the entire Coleman family murdered in a house.

This case was littered with clues about who did this, and the police correctly picked up on it and prosecuted Chris Coleman who is now behind bars and rightfully so.

At the end of the 48 Hours show, I found it fascinating what Chris said.  Chris is asked if he knows who murdered his family.

Chris responds, “I have absolutely no clue, believe me. I’ve racked my brain to try…for two and a half years to try and figure that part out (laughter). I just had to stop and give it to God–just release that and do my best to forgive that person and move on.”

Oh. My. God.  

That is the most absolutely ridiculous thing I have ever heard:  bar none.

If there is one statement that puts the nail in the coffin for Chris, this has to be it!!!

No innocent man who is sitting in jail for killing his wife and kids is going to give it to God and move on.  Hell no!!! They are going to want to get justice for what was done to themselves and their loved ones!!  They aren’t going to forgive a person who wrongly put them in jail!!!

It’s amazing to me how the mind thinks it can fool people.  If this guy had any clue how a real victim would feel, he would have NEVER said this.

Unbelievable.

If anyone had their doubts about Chris, this should close the book for sure.
