Alan, did you have anything to do with killing your wife?

It was a sight the family of murder victim Sheila Bellish thought they would never see.

Alan Blackthorne.

Blackthor, do you have anything to say about this?

Sheila's millionaire ex-husband being led to court for his murder trial on charges he allegedly arranged her brutal killing.

Just months earlier, Blackthorn, a retired businessman, was living the country club life in San Antonio, Texas.

All right, please. Others had been convicted of Sheila Bellish's killing.

We find it the defendant is guilty.

And although they had implicated Blackthorn in the 1997 murder for higher plot, he had never been arrested.

Alan, did you want Sheila murdered?

Never. In no way.

I didn't want her murdered.

I didn't want her hurt.

I didn't want anything in that nature to ever happen to her.

Period.

Ellen, in your heart.

I don't have any comments to make you guys.

Despite Blackthorn's denials, Texas authorities kept digging. It was a murder case they couldn't let go because of who had witnessed Sheila's violent death, her four babies.

I don't understand how anybody in the face of the earth could do that.

Jean Smith is Sheila's mother.

I've spent so many nights crying over those children because they were Sheila's mother. I've spent so many nights crying over those children

because they were Sheila's angels. She always said, Mama, look at my angels.
