“He looked like the Statue of David. He was beautiful,” Sally told the doc’s producers. “Lust at first sight.”The two behemoths married in 1987 as both their stars were rising in the world of bodybuilding, fake tans and posing for pictures. Things were good — at least on the outside. Behind doors, the couple argued constantly.
On Feb. 14, 1995, at their home in Oceanside, California, an already volatile situation boiled over into bloodshed. On the evening in question, the couple was engaged in a massive domestic donnybrook that kept escalating.Instead, she grabbed a shotgun and squeezed the trigger twice. Ray McNeil took a blast to his abdomen and another that took his head off.
“The media referred to her as the ‘brawny bride’ and the ‘pumped-up princess.’ Sally says she spent her life doing whatever it took to survive, caught in a cycle of violence that began in childhood and ended with Ray’s death.”Her children are 100% in the beleaguered bodybuilder’s corner claiming that Ray McNeil was a psycho-abuser.
Steroids or not, Sally McNeil was an abused woman terrorized daily by a monster. She insists it was going to be either her or Ray in a coroner’s van to the morgue.Prosecutors took another view. Their theory was that Sally wanted Ray off the board and that the killing was planned and premeditated.
