Truth is he WANTED to and WOULD HAVE if the courts had not stopped him...right???? or wrong?????

The state in the end condemned her dilapidated home and she ended up with less than half of what she could have had, rather foolish on her part.
The point is in the way the story is being portrayed, not what might have happened.
