Is Sally McNeil close with her children

American bodybuilder Sally McNeil was imprisoned for murdering her husband Ray McNeil in 1995 despite her allegations that he was abusive and that she had shot him in an act of self-defense. Both her children John and Shantina were raised by her mother, who lived 3000 miles away from where she was imprisoned. This meant that the children saw McNeil only about once a year. While the two of them (John and Shantina) were very close to each other, they grew up with a strained relationship with their mother. But now they are rebuilding it. McNeil lives in Hephzibah, Georgia and has remarried. She met her husband, Norfleet Stewart, at a support group. Both Sally's children John and Shantina attended her wedding. They now live much closer to their mother than they did while growing up and it is believed that they now share a stronger bond. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Thank You!
