A childhood friend of a Utah doctor charged with killing his ex-wife testified Wednesday that John Brickman Wall blamed the woman for ruining his life.
Klaus Fiebig said he spoke to his old friend several months before her death, and the pediatrician seemed centered around his hate for ex-wife Uta von Schwedler.
“At the end he said something peculiar: ‘Would it be bad if Uta wasn’t here anymore?’ ” Fiebig said. “She didn’t plan to move away.”

But later, he started lashing out at her if something went wrong. Gardner-Smith stopped working for him about three years later.
“I just couldn’t do it anymore,” she said.
