The ex-wife of the octogenarian charged with shooting Ralph Yarl said he was prone to violence during their troubled 14-year marriage – and that it “doesn’t surprise” her that he pulled a gun on the teenage boy when the child mistakenly showed up at his address.

Mary Clayton, 81, who was married to Andrew Lester when she was young, has not spoken to him in decades and didn’t even recognize him when he appeared in the news for allegedly shooting Yarl, who had shown up at his address instead of one a block over to pick up his siblings, The New York Times reported.

Clayton, who had three children with Lester, said one of her daughters called her in California on Tuesday in shock at the shooting.

“I was always scared of him. It doesn’t surprise me what happened,” Clayton told the newspaper.

Here we go... feed the woke mob some more

[nwrep]

Sure, that’s what an ex-wife would say.

[silent majority rising]

Not a story. Click, click, click...Click Vampires on the move this morning.

[AppyPappy]

I’m not surprised at this at all

[chajin]

I wonder why we never had background stories like this on the Nashville massacre murderer...

The issue is always the revolution. Mr. Lester may be a saint or a devil, but he’s a dead man walking, because that promotes the revolution.

Yes. When I want accurate information about someone I always ask the ex.

Lol.

She took half his property and was granted a lifetime annuity from him, yet she’s still an ingrate.

Subsidizing bad behavior always results in more of it.

[escapefromboston]

Probably should have shot her too

[Ikeon]

OMG an ex-wife verbally degrading her ex-husband? Here’s my shocked face 🤡

Correct. Last I heard, they had a suicide note,a few laptops as well as notebooks filled with relative information. Information they will not release to the public.

I always believe 100% everything anyone’s ex-wife says about them. [smh]

[stevio]

Not that I’m encouraging it but, white people don’t stick together through stuff like this. black people be all like “He never didn’t do nufin!”

[Jewbacca]

Ex spouses never lie. Never, ever.

It’s a shame.

Mr. Lester may be a saint or a devil, but he’s a dead man walking...

...with the aid of a walker.

[Sacajaweau]

They had a half dozen folks say he's dangerous.

He's 84...he needs assistance...not jail time.

In the meantime...no mention of the twins...

How old were these twins??

Critical condition...traumatic.

Only pictures I've seen...Kid with Attorney....Mom with attorney...pic in the hospital

The ex...

If there's anything to back these claims up this will hurt him badly. The only thing that might save him is if his lawyer arranges a full neurological workup...at a major hospital (Chicago,Dallas,etc)...and it shows serious brain deterioration. Otherwise he's gonna die in prison. Escape Artist https://www.researchallofus.org/data-tools/data-snapshots/

Different story if there are any police reports....hospital reports...

Sounds like a Democrat to me. I wonder if anyone has found any evidence that he is a Democrat.
