Disgraced Lawyer Violently Kills His Ex Wife For Wanting To Take Their Kids To Church!

A North Dakota lawyer allegedly beat his ex-wife to death in Minnesota on Tuesday as she clung to the youngest of their five children and two others screamed for help, according to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office.

The younger boy, 2, was so traumatized he didn’t respond to questions from deputies after they had his father in custody and rushed his mother to the hospital.

The deputy found that Carissa Odegaard was not breathing. He cuffed the ex-husband and attempted CPR on the victim. He noticed “severe head trauma” and called for an ambulance.

Three brothers, ages 9, 8 and 2, were inside during the attack. Two other siblings were outside in their mom’s car and were spared the horror, according to the complaint.

The 8-year-old told investigators that after beating his mother to the floor, his father “was on top of her choking her.”
