Memphis, TN – Davy Lee Spotts, 38, was annoyed at her daddy, 67-year-old Don Reynolds. Maybe she didn’t like having a boy’s name. Maybe they just didn’t get along. Details about their relationship are sketchy.

On Monday afternoon, the pot boiled over between father and daughter. Neighbors had heard them yelling at each other inside his apartment. Moments later, a bloodied Don Reynolds staggered out into the parking lot and collapsed. Spotts followed him out and stood over him screaming, “I hope you die!” She kicked and punched her father as he laid helpless, adding final insult to fatal injury. As witnesses gathered, Spotts ran back into the apartment. She was a bloody mess to be sure and had cut herself in the process of stabbing her dad. Blood is slippery. Police found her inside the apartment trying to clean the blood off of her.

Don Reynolds made a dying declaration to a witness saying his daughter had stabbed him. That is icing on the prosecution’s cake. Davy Spotts got her wish, her father is dead. She is in jail. Sometimes getting what you wish for is getting something you once wished for.
