When Christian Griggs arrived at his estranged wife’s family home in October 2013 to pick up his four‑year‑old daughter, the visit ended in tragedy. Moments after calling his father for help, Christian was found face‑down on the porch with six gunshot wounds—four of them in his back. His father‑in‑law, Pastor Pat Chisenhall, claimed self‑defense, and no criminal charges were filed. But years later, a civil jury ruled that Chisenhall was responsible for Christian’s wrongful death, rejecting the self‑defense narrative and awarding damages to Christian’s daughter. The case continues to raise questions about investigative failures, racial bias, and a family’s long fight for accountability. Join Patreon here to binge bonus content!
