Josh Jones and Laura Keck have prosecuted hundreds of cases, but no case has troubled them quite like the murder of Becky Bliefnick.
Josh Jones: You put yourself in the mind of Becky Bliefnick in the last moments of her life, the fear that she had to be feeling … You can’t walk out of that house and not be affected by it.
Becky was just 41 years old when, on the afternoon of Feb. 23, 2023, her own father discovered her lifeless on the bathroom floor of her Quincy, Illinois, home. She had been dead for hours — shot a total of 14 times. None of the wounds were immediately fatal.
Josh Jones: It took her minutes to die. … It was an emotional response for both of us to realize not just that she had been executed … but that her last minutes were lying on a floor alone, in the dark, in extreme pain, waiting to die.
Yah, he totally murdered her. I’m surprised the jury took 4 hours, they must have had lunch in the middle of it.
one juror had doubts but thankfully came to the same conclusion that everyone else did
the husband killed his wife
IMO this says a lot. He is talking to his children in this statement but couldn’t say “I didn’t kill your mom” he says
Tim Bliefnick: My kids. … I just want them to know that I love them, and I miss them … I’m innocent. I didn’t kill Becky.
I picked up on that too. Can’t judge the odd behavior of a criminal defendant though. Everyone is different.
That’s a bit of a stretch. Really, the gun evidence is what cinched it. Good job by the prosecution, because that DNA evidence wasn’t great when it could have been from his kids.
wow! read the whole thing. Interesting read.

The article was written by an “Erin Moriarty”. I just kept imagining Starlight interviewing them.
Survey says: guilty!
Show me the murder weapon!
Killed with the same kind of gun that was in her name that he “couldn’t find” a week before their divorce court date. After telling multiple people if something happens it was him. Ya, he totally didn’t do it. How did he think he had any chance of getting away with it?
Everything points to the fact that he did it.
That poor defense lawyer, forced to dance around like that. He surely knew how ridiculous and far fetched his arguments sounded.
Between the fake Facebook account with records of buying what sounds like a fairly unique bike, and the Google searches? I’m not 100% certain, but any doubts I have are unreasonable in light of the overwhelming evidence.
Entitled white men are dangerous.
