On trial for murder, after reading the facts, I am sure this millionaire under the stress of losing one of his companies, shot his wife. He could not give the Police a straight story and changed it various times.

Let us hope justice will be served.

Accident or murder? Florida millionaire on trial for wife's death

Jurors heard differing stories Thursday about the final moments of a 55-year-old Florida woman, with prosecutors claiming her millionaire husband callously shot her while his lawyers characterized her death as a "tragic" accident.

After three days of jury selection, James "Bob" Ward's trial kicked off in Orlando with opening statements and testimony. Ward, 63, is charged with second-degree murder over the September 21, 2009, death of his wife inside their upscale Windermere home.

"Diane Ward was killed by a single gunshot wound as she struggled with her husband over a loaded a gun," the defendant's attorney Kirk Kirkconnell said. "This entire incident happened in a blink of an eye. Her death was an unexpected and tragic accident."

But prosecutors painted a very different picture, casting doubt on Ward's unruffled demeanor and what they characterized as his ever-changing story of what happened.

"This case is about the fact that it was Bob Ward that shot her almost dead between the eyes," said Assistant State Attorney Robin Wilkinson in her opening statement.

Florida jury finds millionaire guilty of wife's murder

A Florida jury on Saturday found a millionaire guilty of murdering his wife in their upscale home.

Diane Ward was shot dead in 2009 in the house she shared with her husband, James "Bob" Ward, in the Orlando suburb of Windermere. Two years later -- and following a week-long trial and deliberations that stretched into a second day -- he was convicted of second-degree murder.

Soon after entering the Orlando courtroom late Saturday morning, Ward went to a back row and sat between his two visibly distraught daughters, one of whom had testified that she detected no animosity between her parents. He put one arm around both in order to comfort them for several minutes, before heading to his regular seat for the jury's verdict.

When the verdict was read, the 63-year-old Ward showed little evident emotion, though his daughters continued to cry.

According to an Orange County Sheriff's Office arrest affidavit, the victim was found in the master bedroom -- "a large pool of blood at the top of her head" and a .357 Magnum handgun on a nightstand next to the bed. She was shot between her eyes.
