Hold on there Lawdog. You supposedly being a police man should put you firmly on the side of justus has been served here. What, you only believe in the jury verdict if it is a guilty verdict? That is kinda why we have juries, sometimes they get it right. Even here in Iowa, where you are guilty until proven innocent, sometimes the juries see past all the lies that you police tell on the stand, and all the inuendo and baseless accusations the prosecuter makes, and finds the person NOT GUILTY. Doesn't that just chap your view of the how the world should be run? See, the real reason she got off those charges is because the Police just were not believable, (sometimes they lie)and the jury saw right through their false testimony. She walks and the prosecution takes one up the yazoo. Don't feel bad though, a really good Defense Lawyer tops a pis#poor Prosecuter every time. Now she should sue his estate and make them reimburse her for the costs of her defense. IMHO

It is beyond me where most of you people get off arm chair judging this case by just what you have read or heard or knew of in their family history. That is why we have a judicial system in place. It is to sort through the evidence and make an INFORMED decision. I am related to both Locke and Denham. And I myself waivered back and forth as I read more and more on the case but in the end, I found myself torn as to how I even felt. I'm glad that the jury had alot more evidence to help make their decision. I will make this comment though. IF she had tried to kill him prior to that night and IF she was stalking him and IF he was so afraid of her, WHY was he in HER home with his shoes off in the middle of the night with his truck parked somewhere else? I honestly can't see how anyone can call him completely innocent in this situation. This would APPEAR to me as a man out for a little late night rendeavous that went horribly wrong! BUT.... if that is indeed the case,and it was never denied that he was indeed a cheater, I think a cheater deserves whatever hand he's dealt.As to whether she should have been found guilty or not, only the jury knows the reasons why they chose what they did, and I for one will respect their decision.I'm sure they wish the rest of you would too.  JMHO
You got to be kidding right? What year is this? I thought we had ways to protect battered women? What was I thinking. I am not saying a don't respect the juries decision. That is what they decided then that is what we live with. As far as us arm chair judging I would rather do that any day then be the Judge, Jury, and Executioner of a person. As far as Locke trying to kill Denham a few weeks before she got the job done read the "Denham family comments on trial" it tells a little more about that. http://www.ottumwacourier.com/letters/local_story_28800...tml?keyword=topstory |

This should be a clear message to others, if you enter someones home unannounced or break in. it could cost you your life.

I've known Chuck Denham for 30 years and I am well aware of the faults he had. I have known of Sheri Locke for about 11 years and I know that she portrays herself as the victim everyday of her life, many people have suffered from her actions, she plans ,schemes and manipulates everyone she comes in contact! I'm not condoning what went on between the two of them and we will never know the truth of what actually happened that night, but I do know that the events of that evening destroyed many people! It took a husband, a father, a grandfather and a great grandfather of three babies he never got the chance to see. It's easy for some of you to play all big and bad and pretend you have all the answers, that's what all fools do when a tradgety hits, especially in your own hometown. I can't just sit here and do nothing, it infuriates me to listen to the garbage that comes from people who say they knew him. You forgot to mention that he loved his family and would go to the ends of the earth for each and everyone of them. You didn't mention the fact that he had helped so many when they had no one to turn to. Did you ever stop to think that this could have happened to someone you love? Twelve people sat on that jury and allowed her to go free! She's not done by a long shot, she'll continue to harrass, plot and make fools of the very people that set her free. Sending her to prison sure wouldn't bring Chuck back or even ease the pain that the family feels and will have to deal with the rest of their lives, but it would most certainly stop her from hurting someone else. Think about that before you pass out judgement on a subject you know nothing about! I know what I'm talking about....I am his widow!

I have lived in Ottumwa all my life and I am so glad to see that Chuck finally got what he was deserved!! He may have loved his family but what about all those innocent families he ROBBED and done many acts of violence too??? My grandfather was self employed and always tried to help everyone. Not once or twice but MANY times Chuck robbed him this I know for a FACT!! So I tend to believe all the stories that goes with his life style. As far as Ms. Locke, I know only what I have read about her but I will say this, if she wouldn't have done it then i'm sure one of his other girlfriends or someone else he did wrong would have, he had many enemies, and I think he was living on borrowed time anyway. As far as some of his family having to leave town... well maybe they are scared of their past catching up with them too, so I think its a bunch of crap saying he loved his family sooo much. If he cared so much, why did he live the life style he did...girlfriends, drugs, theft, and much much more!!! I think he proved how much he loved his family there!!
