A court filing in a Florida case this week provides ominous words from a wife and mother who was shot dead last month, allegedly by the husband she was trying to get away from.

The filing comes from a case Mary Gingles filed in December seeking a permanent domestic violence injunction against her husband.

Gingles, her father David Pozner, and the neighbor she fled to for help, Andrew Ferrin, were shot to death on February 16, as CrimeOnline reported. Gingles’s husband, Nathan Gingles, has been charged with three counts of murder, kidnapping, child abuse, violating an order of protection, and other charges related to the abduction of the couple’s 4-year-old daughter, who was later rescued from her father at a Walmart and likely witnessed her father’s killing spree.

Nathan Gingles appeared in court Friday, and his attorney entered a not guilty pleas on his behalf to all the charges, WTVJ reported.

Two days earlier, Mary Gingles’ divorce lawyer, Kelley Joseph, filed her client’s responses to Nathan Gingles’ demand for admissions that he wasn’t a threat and would never harm her.

“Deny,” Mary Gingles said over and over in the filing. When Nathan Gingles demanded that she admit there were no documented threats against her, Mary Gingles wrote, “I have documented several threats involving the tracker, the break-ins and other issues.”

The tracker refers to an electronic device she found on her car in October, which she reported to the sheriff’s office and connected through credit card records and internet searches to her husband.

When Nathan Gingles demanded she admit he never threatened to harm her, she responded that “Any reasonable person would consider Nathan’s action threated [sic] to harm me.”

Finally, he demanded that she admit she is in no imminent fear of becoming a victim of domestic violence.

“Nathan has acted unhinged … for a long time,” Mary Gingles wrote. “I am in imminent fear of becoming a victim of domestic violence.”

Ten days later, Mary Gingles was dead.

Joseph did not say why she filed the paperwork after her client’s murder, but under Florida law, Nathan Gingles’ demands would have been accepted by the court if she hadn’t done so.

Nathan Gingles’ attorney demanded a jury trial in court on Friday, and prosecutors now have 45 days to decide if they will seek the death penalty.
