Republican Senate candidate for Pennsylvania and accused wife-strangler Sean Parnell, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, lost custody of his three children following a shocking testimony by his stranged wife Laurie Snell, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
The news outlet reported that “Laurie Snell and Parnell separated in 2018. They have three children, ages 12, 11 and 8. During her testimony on the first day of the Butler County custody trial on Nov. 1, Snell alleged that Parnell had physically abused both her and her children.” The report also noted that “a court docket in the case showed Senior Judge James Arner awarded primary physical and sole legal custody to Snell, with partial physical custody to go to Parnell.”
“He tried to choke me out on a couch and I literally had to bite him to escape,” Laurie Parnell said during testimony.
Ms. Parnell reportedly began to cry as she recalled her painful and horrific experience. She said that her husband and Republican candidate “would call her a “whore” and a “piece of sh*t,” The Tribune-Review reported.

“She also testified that he once put her out of the car and left her by the road after they argued when he told her she had to get an abortion,” The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. “In a court hearing here over custody of their three children, Laurie Parnell described years of intense rage and abuse that she endured from her husband,” according to the news outlet.
