"Assuming it did happen several other times, it was probably going to happen again"

Yes, and that assumption is the big question. The factors you think make it a wash might be reasonable doubt to another. Lies run rampant in domestic issues or family court. Without real evidence to back up a person, I would have a doubt that anything unverifiable is likely a lie/exaggeration/etc.

I believe there is probably reasonable doubt in this case and he shouldn't be executed. But I also think he probably did it.

The biggest piece of reasonable doubt to me are the other medical issues. Sounds like she was medicated to death related to the pneumonia. But that's just my armchair opinion.
