As Anthony Sanchez awaits execution for the 1996 rape and murder of Jewell 'Juli' Busken, Charlotte Beattie is evangelizing his innocence, placing the blame Sanchez's father.
He said he had been let down by his trial lawyers, who he said didn't check his alibis or even his address. He didn't live a mile from Busken at the time of her murder like prosecutors alleged, he said, but in the next town over.
"I started going around with him and we just went places and we had a nice time," she said. The following year, she gave birth to their son, now 27.But he"kept on coming back and forth," Beattie said, adding that he often"mooched" off her to pay for his drinking. And over the years, he"started getting more hateful," she said.
"He'd say, 'I'll hunt you down and I'll kill you if you say something,'" she said."That's how he was whenever he was telling me about Juli Busken... there were a few times he talked about it sober. He just kept on talking about it." That includes Cathy Hodge, who married Sanchez Sr. in 1980 when Anthony was a little over a year old."I raised him," she toldShe spoke of the physical abuse she regularly suffered over the course of the 14-year marriage."It started off just a slap here, slap there, and it got worse and worse," she said."During the week, everything was normal. It was usually on the weekends when he started drinking, and he would get to a certain point and then he got real abusive.
