Her husband, David Mitchell, owned one of the largest construction companies in Texas, and their mansion sat on a two-acre lot in a prime location. But perfection was nothing more than a facade. Sara met David in 2013 at a charity dinner. He was charming, wealthy, and persistent. They married in 2014 in a ceremony that made the society pages. For the first year, David was the perfect husband. He brought her flowers, took her on expensive vacations, and supported her work as a lawyer.
Everything changed in 2015. David started drinking more. He criticized Sara’s work, calling it sentimental nonsense. When she defended her clients, he would fly into a rage. The first time he hit her was during an argument about a case she was handling for an immigrant family. “Do you care more about strangers than your own husband?” he yelled at her before punching her in the face. Sara was in shock. David immediately apologized, crying and begging for forgiveness.
He promised it wouldn’t happen again, but it did, time and time again. The abuse worsened over the next two years. David controlled her money, monitored her phone calls, and isolated her from her friends. Sara was trapped, too ashamed to tell anyone what happened behind closed doors. On September 15, 2017, David was found dead in his home office with three gunshot wounds to the chest. Sara discovered the body when she returned from a client meeting.👉👉👇💕
