Crime over a slip ‘n slide. Jordan Henning lied and lied. Ashley Henning was shot and died, Murder, justified? You decide.
Ashley Henning, Sgt. 1st Class in the U.S. Army, was shot to death on her 37th birthday.
Her death was no accident or crime committed at the hands of a stranger.
She was gunned by her soldier husband, 34-year-old Jordan Henning, who was angry her 8-year-old son couldn’t remove the water hose from a slip n’ slide they had set up in the yard for the party.
Jordan was so angry with the boy for failing to unhook the hose and his mother for trying to help that a next-door neighbor came over to check on them.
Ashley Henning asked the family friend to call 9-1-1 over his terrifying behaivor, which seemed to enrage Jordan Henning even more.
The prosecution said he had “hatred in his heart” for his wife over their strained relationship.
All witnesses could testify to was his constant complaints that she didn’t have fall into his arms every time he wanted to have sex, but Jordan claimed his wife was abusive and when he berated and shot her five times on her birthday he had simply “snapped.”
You won’t believe what the jury believed about the crime.
Join us for this week’s episode of Gulf Coast Confidential “Don’t invite Jordan Henning to the party: Killer husband’s wife died over Slip ‘N Slide.”
