IN COLD BLOOD How Sally McNeil got the nickname Killer Sally 
SELF DEFENSE CLAIMS The reason why Sally McNeil allegedly killed her husband revealed Muscle worship involves recorded sessions where men pay for her to wrestle them to the ground. What started as a passion became a lucrative career, and she said in a Netflix trailer: ...If I wrestled 10 of them, that's $3k.... Ray chose not to re-enlist in the military as Sally's career became more lucrative, allowing him to pursue bodybuilding full-time. However, over the course of their marriage, Sally claimed her husband continued to abuse her, often in front of her two children.

Sally was 27 years old when she married Ray, who was only 23 at the time, but she had already been married and divorced once. Her first marriage lasted four years, and during that time, she had two children, John and Shantina. In the new documentary titled, The Killer Sally, her children share their accounts of what allegedly went on behind closed doors. The family was living in Oceanside, California, struggling to make ends meet, and John recalled his mother collecting discarded cans in return for cash. Although Ray's bodybuilding career started to take off, Sally's daughter Shantina said they started ...arguing a lot more.... "He said that I was inferior and he was the superior bodybuilder and everything should go towards him," Sally says in the documentary. John and Shantina recounted the abuse they witnessed at their stepfather's hands, confirming their mother's account that Ray had once broken her nose. Alongside his mother, John said in the documentary that his and Ray's relationship was ...a very violent one... and claimed Ray would ...abuse and beat 'him ' a lot.... John's outspoken account of what he says happened in the years leading up to Ray's death is something that director Nanette Burstein said astounded her. "I was actually kind of shocked at how forthright John was, and also by the clarity of his memory," Burstein told The Independent. "... I think he's come around to really understanding his mother as an adult would, as opposed to a child seeing her through that lens." Was Sally McNeil convicted? Sally claimed self-defense after she was charged with the death of her husband. She told prosecutors that she had feared for her life when she ran to the bedroom to retrieve the shotgun. In a 911 call that night, Sally told the operator: "I just shot my husband because he just beat me up.... Later that night she told the police: "I wanted to get out of the house, and he wouldn't let me out of the house. So then I ran back to the bedroom, and I got my shotgun." The two officers interrogating Sally told her Ray had died from his injuries and she collapsed on the table saying: "I didn't want it to be that way. I just wanted him to stop hitting me," according to the Netflix documentary. In an interview with RXMuscle, Sally described the encounters with Ray that she claimed left her bruised and injured, but said she didn't tell doctors when she had to be treated. ...He threw me across the room when he saw me talking to another guy when I was at work. He picked me up like a rag doll the minute we got home and just threw me across the room. He broke my coccyx bone in my back tailbone,... she said. While living off base in Okinawa, Japan, Sally told the outlet: ...Ray beat me over 52 times in that year over there because he was having roid rages.... Despite her pleas of self-defense, Sally was found guilty of second-degree murder and was sentenced to 19 years in prison in 1996. The prosecutors painted a picture of Sally killing her husband in a fit of jealousy as Ray was seeing another woman. Goldstein depicted Sally as the aggressor, saying in his opening statement to the jury: "She is a bully. She is a thug.... He continued: "And that's hard to say when you're talking about a woman, but Sally McNeil has managed to bridge the gap of gender." Burstein told The Independent that she believes Sally has been judged unfairly ...in the public sphere,... and said the media has called Sally "the pumped-up princess and the brawny bride and all kinds of ridiculous alliterations....
