Trial for murder and attempted murder is set for Sept. 2004. Husband shot estranged wife in the back twice, after shooting her friend 3 times, once in hip,second shot grazed arm, third shot missed. Friend is eye witness and wife made call to 911 saying husband shot her then she died. Husband on the run for several weeks and is now in custody awaiting trial. Wife is my sister in law and this happened Dec. 26th. 2003. Since this happened we have tried to get wifes property that was in divorce papers (divorce would have been final in January 2004.) But the husbands Mother had cleaned out the home of everything from Refridgerator, washer/dryer, beds, big screen tv, Wifes antiques, and her personal computer, she also has husbands motorcycle and absolutely everything. She refuses to surrender wifes property to the family and police can do nothing about it. My question is how difficult would it be to get a judgement in small claims court for the personal property of wife? Husband was denied bail because the judge stated that due to the evidence proper, that a jury will most likely find husband responsable for crime. Small claims may be the reasonable way because a lawyer has said it would cost more in legal fees than it is worth. This has been very hard for my mother in law and my wife, and they can not do this anymore and have asked me to help. My mother in law is the personal representative of estate. If any more info is needed I will be happy to give it. I appreciate any and all advice. This whole ordeal has favored the criminal and not the victim. Thank You.
