The way she is laying is strange. Like some of you have suggested, she was probably on her knees begging for her life. No way was she punching him and landed that way.
South Miami man who kills wife and posts photo on Facebeook to make first court appearance
Derek Medina, the South Miami man alleged to have murdered his wife and posted a photo of her dead body on Facebook, is expected to make his first court appearance Friday afternoon.
Medina, as do all inmates in Miami-Dade bond court, will appear via closed-circuit television from jail. The afternoon hearing begins at 1:30 p.m.
It is unlikely that Medina will make released from jail -- in Florida, a charge of first-degree murder does not allow for an immediate bond.
On Friday morning, it was unknown if Medina had a lawyer.
Medina's life was open to the world.
On YouTube, the 31-year-old South Miami man posted scores of videos of himself enjoying sports.
He authored six online books, with long-winded titles about spirituality, saving the world and hunting ghosts. Medina snapped photos of his arm tattoos, meals, boating trips and drinks poolside with his wife.
But on Thursday, Medina shocked South Florida by making one last announcement on Facebook: that he had shot and killed his wife before posting a photo of her twisted, bloodied body lying on a linoleum floor.
"I'm going to prison or death sentence for killing my wife. Love you guys. Miss you guys. Take care. Facebook people you'll see me in the news," Medina wrote in a Facebook post that remained public for hours Thursday evening before the site removed his profile page at the request of police.
Even in a world accustomed to intimate details of people's lives plastered on social media, Medina's posts, which went viral, were shocking.
Medina walked into the South Miami police station around noon Thursday, then spent the evening speaking with homicide detectives about what led up to the shooting death of his wife, Jennifer Alfonso, 26.
Investigators, armed with a search warrant, began documenting the crime scene inside the couple?s townhouse at 5555 SW 67th Ave., then charged Medina with first-degree murder late Thursday.
Alfonso's 10-year-old daughter from a previous relationship was upstairs at the time of the killing, but was unharmed. Officers quickly escorted her out of the home, with a blanket wrapped around her, after finding Alfonso's body.
Medina is likely to claim self-defense.
His father, Derek Medina Sr., told reporters his son killed Alfonso only after she brandished a knife. In the younger Medina's Facebook post, he did not mention a knife, but wrote: "My wife was punching me and I?m not going to stand anymore with the abuse so I did what I did. Hope u understand me."
But according to an arrest report, Medina admitted to investigators he got into an argument with Alfonso. The report said he went upstairs, fished his pistol from a closet and pointed it at Alfonso.
Alfonso yelled she was "leaving him," according to the report by Detective Jonathan Grossman. Then, Medina, still brandishing the weapon, followed her downstairs to the kitchen, where she grabbed a knife.
Medina said he disarmed Alfonso, put the knife in the drawer, then shot her several times after she began punching and kicking him, the report said.
The photo Medina posted on Facebook shows Alfonso, wearing all black and pink socks, on her knees, twisted backward in a bloody heap.
Alfonso's former boss at a West Miami-Dade Denny's told the Miami Herald that the husband was extremely jealous and had hit Alfonso in the past.

Has anyone posted the link to his blog?

If so, by bad.
Thank you. I wasn't sure how to word that.
I was thinking along the lines of "dropped on his head as a child."
You know, with facebook being the way it is and people being all eager to post pictures as soon as they happen, I was not surprised someone has actually posted a picture of someone they killed sooner. It was bound to happen, IMO.
THIS.
I was just telling a friend that it's not a surprise, sadly. It's disgusting, no doubt, but it's not exactly shocking.
The way her body was laying seems to go against his story. Unless she was punching from her knees, then ok.
I think it has happened before, actually.
really? I thought maybe, but I cannot remember for sure. Off to google..brb
There was a kid in my area who posted a scene from Psycho as his FB banner, and gave a "farewell" on facebook before he went to his ex gf's house and killed her new boyfriend, her mom, and himself. He let her live after she witnessed everything as his point to "make her suffer". That was the closest relations I've seen to a murder on facebook.
I actually house sat for his friend's mom, and would see him from time to time. He was the only "polite" friend of all the kids who would come over.

Has it? One of the articles must have a link to something then. Like a related story thing, or even citing it as an example of people going "too far" on the web or whatever.
do you mean on just any social media site? pictures of who they murdered or pictures of a dead person? like that one kid who posted a pic of a man who killed himself on twitter and his son saw the picture without knowing it was his dad?
I can't say 100% but I feel like some other guy posted pics and then pulled them down, a long time ago.
a local news station posted this story on FB and there is at least one guy on there basically defending him because " The problem is, women are raised to think "a real man doesn't hit women" But then they think it gives them a free pass to hit a man with no consequences. " and he goes on about how family courts are biased towards women, and maybe she deserved it blah blah blah.
don't get me wrong, if he was abused by her and threatened by her for a long period of time and he really felt this is his only way out then.... well, i just don't buy it. honestly. especially since he gave us the photos, which do lead me to believe that she was on her knees while she was shot. and i didn't notice a weapon on her, either.
Everyone has the choice to leave an unhealthy situation. Leaving being easy and emotionally untaxing is the mind fuck.
Oh, so this guy was just standing his ground too, huh.
didn't a kid cut his mom's head off & post pics of it?
God if that works for him in court.
It depends on whether or not FLorida hates women as much as black kids.
I was thinking the same thing. I've been trying to find it, but I'm not having any luck.
eta: I see you found it.
I'm honestly waiting for that. No lol.
That was a bad one..
