September 2016 mein, Alabama ke Eclectic sheher mein, 17 saal ke Jesse Madison Holton par apne maata-pita, Mike aur April Holton, ke hatya ka aarop laga tha. Yeh ghatna tab hui jab unke ghar mein ek party ke dauraan vivaad utpann hua. Mike Holton, jo Eclectic ke poorv mayor aur fire chief the, aur April alag reh rahe the aur talaaq ki prakriya mein the. Us raat, Mike ne party ke baare mein jaanne ke baad, apne bete Madison ko police ke madhyam se anushasit karne ka socha. Lekin kuch hi der baad, Mike aur April dono apne bedroom mein goli lagne se ghayal paaye gaye. Mike ki goli lagne se turant mrityu ho gayi, jabki April ne aspatal mein dam toda.
Pehle, jaanch adhikariyon ne ise murder-suicide mana, lekin baad mein Madison par apne maata-pita ki hatya ka aarop laga. Madison ne hamesha apni nirdoshita ka dawa kiya aur kaha ki uske maata-pita ke beech ladaai hui thi, jiske baad usne madad ke liye padosi ke ghar bhaaga. Ek saal aur teen mahine jail mein bitane ke baad, December 2017 mein use bond par riha kiya gaya. October 2018 mein, pramaan ki kami ke kaaran, uske khilaaf sare aarop hata diye gaye.
Rihaai ke baad, Madison ne apni zindagi ko naye sire se shuru karne ka faisla kiya. Usne apni high school ki shiksha poori ki aur University of Alabama at Birmingham mein history padhne ka irada banaya, taaki aage chalkar kanoon ki padhai karke defense attorney ban sake aur doosron ki madad kar sake. Lekin, uske Instagram profile ke anusaar, usne apne pehle sapne ko poora karne ka faisla kiya, jo uske maata-pita ke jeevit rehne par tha – apne desh ki seva karna Army mein shaamil hokar. Vartamaan mein, wah apni patni, Diana, ke saath Berlin, Germany mein niwas kar raha hai, jahan uska base sthit hai aur wah wahin apna bhavishya dekh raha hai.
Madison kehte hain ki unhone apne purane jeevan ko peeche chhod diya hai, jo party karna, sharab aur drugs ka sevan karna shamil tha. Ab wah apne naye jeevan par kendrit hain aur apni patni ke saath Berlin mein apna bhavishya bana rahe hain.
