Description

Defendant, Esther Sue Michael, had been married and divorced to both John Melson, who fathered defendants daughter, and Donald Michael. On March 1, 1979, defendant was at the home of her first ex-husband, John Melson, when her second ex-husband, Donald Michael, appeared at the house. Defendant, apprehensive of some altercation, left the residence but was returning to retrieve her purse when she heard two gun shots. Upon entering the house, defendant found Melson whom she believed to be dead. Michael then threatened the life of defendant and that of her daughter if they reported the incident. Defendant was forced to accompany Michael to a "dumping" area where the weapon and gun shells were disposed of. Three days later defendant was arrested at which time she gave a full account of the shooting. Defendant testified against Michael at his trial for first degree murder and insisted that she did not come forward immediately out of fear of retribution by Michael.
