OK "Daniel's financial problems apparently started with trouble in the family's jewelry [Northups] business in Woodward. The defendant expected to inherit the 100-year- old business where he worked alongside his parents for years. But things changed. John Floyd Daniel Jr., the defendant's father, testified about the turmoil in the business once the defendant's new wife, Roberta, who was known as Bobbie, started working in his Woodward store. Bobbie Daniel was fired because of a way she treated a customer in front of him and his wife, John Daniel said. After that, he said, he decided against giving Terry Daniel the business. In fact, Terry and Bobbie Daniel bought another jewelry store in Watonga and moved."
