charges ranging from narcotics offenses to interpersonal violence. Kullander Smith had in fact already left the father of the two children while pregnant with their second child due to domestic violence. The criminal record for the father of the children also included assault charges against a girlfriend prior to
Kullander Smith, as well as a sentence for making death threats towards a security guard and two arresting officers which had been settled in court only months prior to the children being taken from Kullander Smith and placed in his care. Despite this, the court decided to award the father with custody and grant Kullander Smith limited visitation rights, with a note specifying that the order should be revisited in the case of the father failing to follow orders. The orders were not followed, and yet the arrangement was not reconsidered. Instead, when it came to court, it was decided that the children should remain with their father to minimize disruption as they had lost contact with their mother even though the sole reason for this loss of contact over a prolonged period of time was the father's actions in failing to allow visitation sessions to occur. The court ordered that Kullander Smith be granted supervised visitation sessions of gradually increasing increments, and that the sessions should take place at social services with transportation provided to and from the venue for Kullander Smith so as to ensure her safety.

cousin informed social services as well as the abusive ex-partner of
Kullander Smith. Days later, social services came to the apartment of Kullander Smith and announced that the children were being removed. A witness testified to the children crying as they were taken from their mother and they were later placed with their father who began to pursue custody after learning that Kullander Smith had done sex work. During court, the father of the children openly bragged about the fact he was friends with social services employees involved in handling the case. The court hearings ended up focused on whether Kullander Smith was still selling sex and speculations about how her ex-partner felt about this and what this might mean in regards to suitability for custody rights. According to some witnesses, the actual reality of the situation in terms of the impacts selling sexual services might or might not have were not meaningfully considered or even given an opportunity to be considered. To make matters worse, the court spent little to no time considering the gravity of the charges against the father of the children, or the fact that Kullander Smith had never actually been found to have put the children at risk or harmed them. The only allegations that were made against Kullander Smith were from her abusive ex-partner (the father) and even those accusations were dropped by the time the last court hearing occurred.

But the social services venue had failed to secure the knives in the kitchen, which meant that the father was able to help himself to the eventual murder weapon and proceed to run outside and stab Kullander Smith to death.
