Blaine Hodges had nearly exhausted his appeals on an embezzlement conviction.
That would have left his wife and daughters home alone while he was serving time in prison.
Friends of the family were afraid of what might happen in Blaine's absence... especially since Earl Bramblett spent so much time at the Hodges home.
Keith Humphry says those fears came up today in Bramblett's capital murder trial.

Hager was the president of the Country Club of Virginia in Richmond in 1990 -- the last year it had an all-white membership.
On a radio show in January of this year, Hager and a caller discussed retiring the state song.
The caller says "How about if we replace it with 'Dixie'?"
Hager says "Sounds like a good solution."
Hager's spokesman says it was a flip remark in answer to the caller and wasn't meant to be insensitive.
And on a possible Confederate flag license plate, Hager said it would be okay if done "in a dignified and non-confontational manner."
