Renard Spivey, a television bailiff who was acquitted of murdering his wife, has spoken publicly about the case that upended his life, maintaining his innocence while acknowledging the ongoing emotional toll.

Spivey was found not guilty in the shooting death of his wife Patricia at their Houston home. During the incident, Spivey claims he was acting in self-defense when his wife confronted him with a gun.

"I didn't pull the trigger," Spivey stated, describing the confrontation as a situation where he was trying to protect himself. He maintains that Patricia had approached him while armed in their residence.

Despite his legal acquittal, Spivey says the tragedy continues to affect him deeply. "I live with it every day," he said, becoming emotional as he discussed the case. He reports experiencing ongoing sleep difficulties related to the incident.

The case involved a television personality known for his work as a bailiff, though specific details about the legal proceedings and evidence presented during the trial were not provided. Spivey's acquittal indicates that a jury found the prosecution did not prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in the shooting death.
