    So the husband’s relatives will be lawyering up and taking both the police and his vindictive sister-in-law to court over this wrongful death , right? Big fat civil lawsuit for driving him to suicide. The DA ought to be looking into investigating the sister-in-law for criminal charges as well, she clearly manipulated this situation and may well have done so hoping for just this outcome.
