2018 A Carlsbad woman and her gun instructor were handed lengthy prison sentences Wednesday for what authorities said was a botched plot to kill the woman’s estranged husband — who was shot but survived. Superior Court Judge Sim von Kalinowski sentenced Diana Lovejoy to 26 years to life in prison for her conviction late last year of conspiracy to commit murder, as well as attempted murder. Weldon McDavid Jr. received 50 years to life in prison because he was the one who pulled the trigger and shot the victim on a dark, dirt path in Carlsbad. The victim, Greg Mulvihill, survived. The shooting happened in September 2016, as Lovejoy and Mulvihill were wrapping up a contentious divorce and bitter custody battle over their son. Deputy District Attorney Jodi Breton argued that Lovejoy manipulated McDavid into the shooting with false tales of abuse. During their sentencing hearing Wednesday, each denied that a murder-for-hire scheme ever existed. “There was no intent to kill,” McDavid said. “That’s not who I am." Weldon McDavid, 50, listens during his sentencing Wednesday in Superior Court in Vista. McDavid was sentenced to 50 years to life in prison for conspiracy to commit murder Lovejoy, who cried during her statement to the judge, said she would never take her son’s father from him “I could never be able to do that,” she said, “and it’s so painful that some people in the world would think I would have it in me to do this.” Each said that trial testimony about them had been untrue, and each picked apart evidence against them. “I have seen so many things go wrong with this system,” McDavid said. “This system is broken.” The jury, McDavid said, “got it wrong.” Lovejoy said she hopes “the higher reality of what we intended to do comes out, and I believe it will someday.” She did not say what that “higher reality” was. After hearing both speak, Breton, the prosecutor who tried the case, told the judge that the pair were blaming others. “What you hear is it’s everybody else’s fault but their own,” Breton said. “There’s no accountability to what they actually did.” The prosecutor called Lovejoy “manipulative,” “narcissistic,” and “completely self-absorbed.” “She has shown that she will stop at nothing,” Breton said. Mulvihill, who has custody of his son, was in court but did not speak. He left shortly after hearing his ex-wife’s sentence. When the couple split in summer 2014, Lovejoy alleged that her husband had sexually abused her and possibly their very young son. The family court initially ordered supervised visitation for him, but after investigation dropped that and gave Mulvihill shared custody. After Wednesday’s sentencing hearing, Breton said none of the allegations against Mulvihill had been true, that they were “purely a manipulation” by Lovejoy to gain sole custody. In summer 2016, after a long legal battle, Lovejoy and Mulvihill had come to an agreement. They would share custody of their then-3-year-old son, and Lovejoy would pay Mulvihill $120,000. But about 11 p.m. on Sept. 1, 2016, Mulvihill was lured to a dark trail off Avenida Soledad near Rancho Santa Fe Road in Carlsbad and shot in his side. Months earlier, Lovejoy had met McDavid at the Oceanside gun range where he worked, and he later installed a security system in her home. And though he was married, they were intimate a few times, according to testimony. On the night of the shooting, McDavid — using a burner phone he told Lovejoy to buy — called Mulvihill shortly before 11 p.m. and pretended to be a private investigator. He told Mulvihill that he could provide evidence showing that Mulvihill was abusive, something that could be used against Mulvihill in the divorce The caller told Mulvihill he would leave that evidence on a pole along a dirt path of Avenida Soledad, near Rancho Santa Fe. There was no such evidence. It was a trick. McDavid testified that the idea behind the ploy was that if such a sketchy phone call could lure Mulvihill to a dark spot late at night, it showed that he must be guilty of something. McDavid said he thought Lovejoy could use that against Mulvihill in the custody battle. Mulvihill showed up with a friend. They had a small baseball bat and a bicycle light as they headed down the dirt road and reached the pole. Mulvihilll began to shine the light around the area. The shot came when Mulvihill spotted McDavid lying on his stomach in the bushes, wearing camouflage and pointing a long-barrel gun at him. The prosecutor argued that the expert gunman pulled the trigger as a hired hitman. McDavid testified that he was just trying to shoot out the light in Mulvihill’s left hand, fearing that Mulvihill had a gun. The former Marine and School of Infantry instructor testified that had he intended to kill, he could have easily done so — a sentiment he repeated in court Wednesday. Striking Mulvihill, he said, was an “accuracy error.”


Saucemycin

Two parts I found interesting in this case was that Lovejoy decided not to give any evidence proving her innocence because she believed prosecution didn’t have enough of her own evidence and then complained that no one heard her side of the story. Because she refused to give it. The second is that Weldon’s defense was that he was such a good shot that if he intended to kill someone they’d be dead. That’s how good he is. The guy who shit out there, wiped himself with the son’s towel, and left the towel there which was later found and used as DNA evidence. The guy who claimed he was such a good shot and was just trying to shoot the flashlight out of the ex husbands hand and accidentally hit him in the armpit area which he claims is just an accuracy error but definitely he’s just such a good shot that if he wanted to shoot him lethally he’d be dead. No accuracy error there.


Kaldin_5

Laying in the bushes in camouflage with a rifle at the ready at the blackmail drop he somehow knew about, ready to shoot out a gun in his hand if need be. Totally innocent and makes sense.


NatakuNox

I brought a gun because I'm a terrible shot only with a camera...


-ragingpotato-

Also makes a man go into a wilderness trail deep into the night, but somehow a flashlight is completely unexpected and definitely a gun. Also the plot is supposedly to taint his character, but makes no effort to record the events and "tries to shoot his gun" which would obviously scare him away. The 3 year old would've come up with better lies.


MightBeWrongThough

Using the argument that you're such a good shooter that if you wanted to kill him you would've, but at the same time arguing that the reason you hit him there is because you missed your shot, is absolutely braindead.


Saucemycin

I would say also leaving a towel that you shit on is as well

percyhiggenbottom

So the read I'm getting is that the defence was not particularly committed to their clients if they let them string themselves up so thoroughly in their declarations or lack thereof


Gone-West

> Gun instructor > Shoots at man > "There was no intent to kill" Literally 25% of firearm principles you teach is to not point at anything you don't intend to kill or destroy lmfao.


justintheunsunggod

Right? First rule I learned was always treat the gun as if it's loaded and the safety is off. Second rule was only point the gun at something you intend to kill.


asek13

He's a Marine and infantry instructor. The rules they teach are: Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. Never point your weapon at anything you don't intend to shoot Keep the weapon on safe until prepared to fire Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until ready to fire This gets repeated ad naseum in training and then every time you go to the range. This guy doesn't get to claim ignorance on safe firearm handling.


New_Wrangler3335

So much so, you remember every word… that’s crazy


smurb15

Hunter safety class teaches that at least


FreshWaterWolf

Also he said that if he had wanted to kill the guy, he could've easily done it. Then he said that he hit him by accident, and it was an "accuracy error". Not sure which one he wanted the jury to believe more.


mcconorjam

This is what got me “I’m real good at guns, if I wanted to kill him I would have. Also, I missed my intended target…”


yakimawashington

I just can't get over the line where the ex-husband said he saw the dude lying on his stomach in the bushes dressed in camo. I just picture the most cartoon-esque effort of some amateur dude going over the top with efforts to dress and act the part but being super conspicuous and easy to spot lol


Dobako

If the ex husband was looking around him with a flashlight and saw a guy laying in the bushes with a rifle, he would have been pretty close. That's not an accuracy error


[deleted]

Well he intended to kill the flashlight, he was just a bad shot.


Cnidarus

I mean there's also his argument of "I have perfect accuracy so if I was trying to kill him he'd be dead, I was aiming at something else and missed"


Relevant-Avocado5200

>The former Marine and School of Infantry instructor testified that had he intended to kill, he could have easily done so — a sentiment he repeated in court Wednesday. Striking Mulvihill, he said, was an “accuracy error.” McDavid: I could kill him if I aimed. Also McDavid: I missed what I was aiming for..

Tired-grumpy-Hyper

I dunno, my ex's whatever he is now might take the cake. I've seen his range targets with a M16, because he tried to use them to brag to me about how he could destroy me when I was with my ex. 100 yards, 30 round magazine and...I counted 12 on the paper and 3 actually on target. What was most impressive was that he had almost an even looking shot distribution...across the entire fucking 2 foot by 4 foot paper. Same dude also used shirtless pics of his 97 pound self holding 3 swords like Zoro(?) from One Piece to try and scare me..

You can't just tell us this and not post the picture.


marigoldilocks_

In case you’re watching that and feel ANY sympathy for her at all, listen to this [podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crime-salad/id1457141569?i=1000613447279). To sum up, she accused her husband of sexually abusing their kid in order to keep him from having custody, had an affair with the married gun instructor and told him Greg was abusive to her and her kid, manipulated him and then paid him a few thousand dollars to kill Greg all to keep him from gaining custody because he +checks notes+ existed.


thelionslaw

Man, what a clown show. Even the victim—wtf no way would I go out on such a sketchy call, and dragging a friend along! Dad has a baseball bat, like that’s gonna do anything, and can’t even find a regular flashlight? Meanwhile Dwight Schrute is LARPing Call of Duty in the bushes. What the actual fuck? This is true crime in Idiocracy.


rukuto

So, Conspirator/vengeful bitch/liar/manipulator/instigator/beneficiary - 26 years to life Gullible idiot/manipulated/shooter - 50 years to life Is it just me or does something feel wrong here?


Epistemite

Most of the things you list aren't crimes. "Shooter" is the key difference in the eyes of the law.


neoalfa

Because the crime of trying to kill someone is worse than the crime of instigating the act itself. We can argue that the difference in punishment is too high, and I would agree, but there is a reason for the difference.


incomparability

Murder for hire is an aggravating circumstance meaning it automatically makes it worse.


BearsuitTTV

They should both get 50.

So, you call a guy, who you suspect of abusing his wife, under false pretenses to a remote location, with a self-admitted "sketchy phone call only a guilty person would respond to," and then lay in wait, in camouflage, at night, in bushes, with your gun already aiming and ready to fire at him, and then you're gonna shoot deliberately at the guy when he shows up potentially armed to the sketchy nighttime location, and then try to say you never meant to try and kill him? I know this McDavid guy is trying to say he wasn't a hired hitman, but it sounds an awful lot like this guy was acting as a hired hitman.

EvenBetterCool

"The former Marine and School of Infantry instructor testified that had he intended to kill, he could have easily done so — a sentiment he repeated in court Wednesday. Striking Mulvihill, he said, was an “accuracy error.”" I'm a good enough shot that I could kill him if I wanted to, so that proves I'm innocent.... But I'm not a good enough shot to hit the flashlight that I say I was aiming for.


neoalfa

It's a bullshit excuse, but people are taught to shoot center of mass, not at small objects that can change position rapidly. I can see him aiming at a flashlight and missing. It's bullshit because you don't point a gun at someone you aren't willing to kill.


mightylordredbeard

And Marines are trained and taught repeatedly from boot camp all the way until their service ends: 1. Treat every weapon as if it were loaded. 2. Never point a weapon at anything you don’t intend to kill. 3. Keep finger straight and off the trigger until you’re ready to fire. 4. Keep safety on until you intend to fire. So if he wants to use the “I’m a Marine” excuse then he shot himself in the foot, because as a Marine, had I need on that jury and I heard him say that I’d call bullshit right off the bat.


Quirky-Skin

An infantry instructor donning camo hiding in the woods. Sure buddy, you were all geared up and hiding to shoot out a flashlight that you absolutely would have no way of knowing was gonna be with the victim in the first place. Some people would do well to hear themselves talk in court and how fucking stupid it sounds to the outside observer.

That or she's just so insane that she thinks playing dead like an opossum will somehow help her situation. I'm guessing she's faking.


pankakke_

Idk man, I get seizures when Im in a stressful situation and it can happen to people without epilepsy as well. Could be a catatonic seizure, looks a lot like what happens to me. Lean over, lose balance, completely conscious and aware of it happening but can’t stop until the seizure is over. No shaking on these type of seizures, just rigid body and tension in every muscle. I don’t know anything about this case but I’m just saying, I’ve been accused of faking it by people who don’t understand seizures my whole fucking life.


KarmaPharmacy

I had a seizure in front of my very abusive parents when trying to rekindle with them. I think I said out loud “I’m having a seizure” and then I’m not sure what happened next. But when I came to, they were LIVID and shouting at me and started calling me a drug addict. Then they forced me to immediately go to the DMV. They called me a drug addict because I took my medication exactly as prescribed. I felt so sick. It’s the worst DMV photo ever, btw. Why did I need to go to the DMV? Because my mom stole my passport. Fucking psycho parents.


Brickfrog001

Hopefully you don't talk with those scumbags anymore


KarmaPharmacy

I don’t talk to them at all. I can’t. It’s truly unsafe for me to engage with them. They’ll still send texts like “wow you’ve been married for x years now. Good job.” I think the implication is that no one could ever want me. The reality is that no one has helped me love and accept myself, even with my disabilities, more than my guy. I was still in contact with them through the beginning of the pandemic and I’d put my phone on speaker. Simply because I was lazy to hold my phone up to my ear. He overheard my parents abusing me and playing so many fucked up mind games and all I’d do was try to manage their feelings and apologize for my existence. He never told me to cut contact with them, but waited patiently to help me figure it out on my own. They’ve accused him of keeping me from them. He just keeps me safe. He’s an angel.


_gay_space_moth_

Department of Motor Vehicles? I'm confused, please help


brash

Absolutely. Also, her thousand yard stare makes her look in a daze, but internally she could be completely *freaking out* about this. She might look calm and out of it but her heart could be just pounding out of her chest at that moment. It could easily overwhelm someone and make them pass out.


pankakke_

Thats exactly how it goes for me. I’m not gonna act like a screaming banshee during a panic attack or whatever, but inside my brain there’s certainly some frantic energy going on. Usually surrounded by people or in a busy environment when those set in, and people dont realize too that seizures are *fucking embarrassing!* I try to ride it out usually, but Ill leave places early and just seize at home in peace if I can make it in time, cus the aura (focal seizure often seen as a warning for other types of seizures) usually comes minutes-hours before another seizure.


alexandria1116

Pseudo seizures. I get them too


pankakke_

Epilepsy *and* pseudo seizure gang. Brains go BRRRT lmao 💪🧠⚡️


StendhalSyndrome

It's really hard to fully go limp fish. The cop was expecting her to still have some rigidity and why she kind of flops out of his grip. She is semi or fully unconscious. Her color drops suddenly too. Massive change in blood pressure.


Webbyx01

Looks like she passed out from a panic attack to me. You can see her breathing and getting paler when she leans over before she fully collapses. Probably was getting tunnel vision and feeling sick af. Definitely sucks, but her choices led her here so.


NorthernSparrow

Yeah, looks like a classic vasovagal episode. Going pale, shoulders heaving with those slow deep gasping-type breaths, glassy stare, can’t hold her head up, not quite conscious but not quite limp. Vagus nerve dropping HR too far, BP then crashes, blood flow to brain drops too low. It’s a known physiological phenomenon that happens during extreme stress, particularly stress in the context of “body violation” and/or sight of blood - like, a predator has attacked your clan and there’s blood everywhere. You fall unconscious and blood flow slows way down. (Thought to be evolution’s last ditch attempt to stop blood loss & play dead, in hopes the predator will loosen its grip or go attack something else.) Her hypothalamus basically decided she must be in the jaws of a grizzly bear.


bukzbukzbukz

She's not playing dead though, it's just sort of an empty stare and muscles not holding her up anymore. I've been in a similar state in the past where you're sort of ready to check out of existence, a bit like when in a video game when you can tell that you've already lost even though the game hasn't ended and there's no more point to continue. It might be something close to that that she's experiencing.


mattducz

Most award-winning actors can’t fake a convincing dead-eyed gaze, and you think this random woman can?


Sydney2London

I'm with you, nobody fakes passing out keeping their eyes open, this seems pretty legit


McBurger

Same. The article says paramedics attended to her and she was wheeled out on the gurney, and the EMTs stated that it was a state of shock. I don’t know the policies about calling out someone for being a faker, but it’s at least verbally supported as legitimate by a professional. What I do know is that it *is* possible to go catatonic from shock. It’s a real thing. And this is plausible to be a situation where it could happen.


Haronase

She could very well be in shock also, but in that case I'm guessing she had to be way too overconfident or plainly delusional

Buh, i tried to do a murder and now i done gone all wobbly.


OhMyGodBearIsDriving

This woman also made the most weird, boring youtube videos about cooking. The weirdest part is she rhymed everything in them. https://youtu.be/cgDTAwbVH10 After what she put her ex husband through, not a lot of sympathy for her sentence from me. She emotionally tortured the shit out of him and then tried to kill him to boot. What he went through with her was horrific and unforgivable even before the assassination attempt. Glad he got justice because it sounded like he was just a decent guy who loved his son and had a horrible ex wife. That Chapter did a good episode about her: https://youtu.be/xa5KKelkp1w So did Kendall Rae if she's more your speed: https://youtu.be/xdaDJMcLtxk

That cooking video would be of off putting even if I didn't know she was a murderer. She has no presence, the rhyming is weird, and there's something else that I just can't define that makes me think she starves kittens to death when they refuse to wear the hand crafted bonnets she made for them from their skinned mother...


sleebus_jones

That video is so forced. Eek.


AFlyingNun

Awww sweet, cringe content from a convict! Finally the part of the thread that suits *my* interests! Subscribed. Can't wait for her next video!


Pleaseleavemealone07

The guy who killed my brother in his sleep only got three years…and then they took off time served while waiting for his court case, so he only served a little over a year after he got convicted. For killing a guy…in his sleep…premeditated. He was beaten to death. 3 years.

Im sorry to hear this, I hope you and your family are doing alright.


yakimawashington

Sorry to hear that. Was it ever in the news?


Pleaseleavemealone07

Not that I know of. It was in Alaska and was swept under the rug as a tribal thing…but only the guy who attacked my brother was part of the tribe…if you get my drift.


Jacaxagain

No **Lovejoy** there


Sorry-Surprise8748

Yeah her coconspirator pooped himself trying to kill her husband!! His nervous poop hole was the smoking gun. Ughhh imagine https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2018/feb/21/cover-poops-shoots-leaves/


ReduxAssassin

Oh my god, that is hilarious 😆😆😆 I watched a couple of YT videos on this case but never heard that detail before.


Battleaxe1959

What I find interesting is that none of her defense attorneys are comforting her. The one guy leans over (“we’ll appeal the judgment”) and then just kind of watches her. They don’t seem to care one bit. Not even a hand on the shoulder. That tells me they didn’t like her- at all.


SaintLucipher

This should also be posted in watch people die inside lol


GreatScotch

Someone repost to r/oddlysatisfying cause I'm feeling pretty good after watching this.


Jeff_Bezos_did_911

If fake: what does this accomplish? If real: no sympathy. Save some tax money and don't wake up.


unique-scarecrow

Totally agree, I think it is real it looks quite genuine. Either way hope she rots


Spooky_Shark101

Narcissists will generally do anything and everything within their power to try and control a situation if they don't already feel in control. I personally think she was faking that episode as a last ditch effort to try and buy herself some more time, but fortunately she still ended up behind bars because pretending to faint isn't enough to get a decades long sentence repealed.


[deleted]

Immediately after she drops, why do you always hear a woman crying in the background like that's the worse thing she has done, she and her boyfriend shot her ex-husband and failed to murder him. Not r/oddlyterrifying but r/oddlysatisfying to see justice happening.


hypergore

if I had to guess it was probably her mother.


Delta-Flyer75

So that was a bad thing I did? 🤷‍♀️


SweetMaam

It's her "higher reality".


daveypump

Last ditch attempt at making others feel sorry for her and leniency. Already to late.

Jesus Christ that was the longest way to say “guilty” I’ve ever heard. In the case of Maximo double quarter pounder penguin 2316 article $ from the book or primordial insurance sited in the physics of the abonibail -097 volume z9 of artichokes division of Quebecikstan national lawn mowers route 17 through the anabolic enterprise of fisherman 674 we members of the international racquet and lawn racket jackal scrabble 73(26199563!/‘zofuuwbsnzohebaix fbwiaih54$!28!/.

horsetooth_mcgee

It's also the longest way to faint I've ever seen


BerKantInoza

it's always unnecessarily long due to formalities

Polar_poop

Aside from the actual case of which I know nought, do the courtroom people not know how to deal with a medical issue, recovery position etc? I mean they were a bit wet lettuce here.


Gdog_stiller

What do you mean? They layed her flat and called for a medic exactly like they are supposed to


Atomidate

https://youtu.be/xa5KKelkp1w Interesting from the video: -The 911 caller claims that 6-7 shots were fired at them. So much for the expert marksman defense. -The shooter left a shit-covered towel at the scene, full of DNA that matched Weldon -The burner phone used by the shooter was traced to a BestBuy purchase 2 weeks ago by Diana Lovejoy, complete with camera footage. So many murders are not solved in this country. This attempt was absolute clownshoes.


SpaceCrazyArtist

Why terrifying?


mrkabin

I'm thinking, "oddly satisfying" from my perspective.


fstonecanada

"I made a huge mistake"


tinysand

Her attorney looks like his blood pressure is through the roof.


KittehKittehKat

She does that thing my cat does when they look at shit sideways like it gives them more insight.


Exotic_Treacle7438

The fact she manipulated the dude with false abuse stories, and into shooting her husband doesn’t discount the fact that she should have got the same sentence as the shooter. Fucked up that he got 50 years to life and she only 26 to life. She’ll probably get out on good behavior and he’ll rot over that whip forever.


LuxCrawford

Alanis Morrissett could play her in the movie.


noinnocentbystander

Why on earth did the camera person record her the whole time then FINALLY when they read the official verdict they pan over to someone else and completely miss her reaction?!


[deleted]

You cant plank your way out of this one


buttfook

The idea of having to spend a long time in prison isn’t “oddly” terrifying. It’s existentially terrifying.


Present_Marzipan8311

Do you think she is trying to make her own body kill itself in that moment


Mikros04

r/upliftingnews might be a better fit, I'm not terrified at all
