He hit the door, broke his wrist,” ex-wife Crystal Sparks said during the questioning. “He threw me up against the back of the door ... He was not a good dad.”Sparks told the defense Kronk exposed their 6-year-old to porn. She couldn't remember whether she filed for a protective order and couldn't explain her email praising Kronk for finding Caylee Anthony's remains saying he did a good thing.“Given the opportunity, he probably would've killed me,” ex-wife Jill Kerley said.But ex-husband Roy Kronk didn't kill her, though she says he duct taped her hands, kidnapped and beat her.“He probably was the one who murdered Caylee Anthony or had something to do with it,” Kerley said.“I deem these tactics as despicable,” WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said.Sheaffer says it's telling that the defense private investigator did not interview Kronk's bitter exes under oath, which makes them worthless.“Very clumsy investigating technique or it was deliberate not to go under oath, because they might not have gotten the same responses,” Sheaffer said.The biggest problem with all the accusations is that they have nothing to do with Caylee Anthony's murder. He says it's a hard sell that Kronk murdered Caylee, pretended to find her remains, collected a reward and set himself up for a possible death sentence.“How absurd does that sound when I say it? Absurd,” Sheaffer said.It's not uncommon for bitter exes to do this.“You bet they see an opportunity for their 15 minutes of fame and to, in fact, pay back,” WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said.Sheaffer points out that, if the defense team repeats unsubstantiated allegations like this outside of court, they could be sued. They didn't during their morning network blitz Friday, which tells him they have no evidence to back them up.“Well, what happens to a cornered animal? They just lash out, lash out, lash out,” Sheaffer said.Kronk's attorney said the defense never asked Kronk specific questions about these allegations Thursday when they had him under oath and could’ve pinned him down while they had the advantage of surprise. Sheaffer says it's another indication that this is another media stunt without any evidentiary or legal substance.Roy Kronk said he first found the plastic bag containing Caylee's body in the woods near the Anthony home in August, but a deputy didn't take him seriously and really didn't investigate. So he called deputies back into the woods again on December 11 and that's when they took a close look and found Caylee's body.Kronk's estranged son told the defense (watch it) he thought Caylee's remains were found last November, not December, which the defense twisted into Kronk having prior knowledge. The problem with that is that another meter reader told Eyewitness News he was the one who told Kronk about Caylee's neighborhood; Kronk was not familiar with the area.Kronk worked for Orange County until last month, when he was fired during a dispute over a shoulder injury.
