On December 16, 2015, 38-year-old Jack S. Jetton was found unresponsive on the kitchen floor of his home on Slayden Road in Moscow, Tennessee, with a single gunshot wound to the chest. Fayette County deputies were called at 4:44 p.m. after his 35-year-old wife, Charis Jetton, placed a 911 call saying she had just shot her husband. The couple’s three children, ages 2, 3, and 12, were in the home and were secured by responding officers.

According to an affidavit, Charis Jetton told deputies a verbal and physical altercation preceded the shooting, and that she retrieved a .380 pistol from a kitchen cabinet and fired once from a distance of about six to eight feet. The weapon was recovered where she said it had been. Charis Jetton was charged initially with second-degree murder, booked on $300,000 bond, and later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony. The court sentenced her to consecutive terms totaling ten years, with seven years for manslaughter and three years for the firearm conviction. She appealed, arguing past abuse and mental illness, but the appellate court affirmed the confinement sentence.

Does anyone have information about the events at the Slayden Road home that day or recall seeing signs of trouble in the family beforehand?
