In re R.R.
Robert R. appeals from a 2007 order declaring his twin daughters, R.R. and E.R. free from his custody and control (Fam. Code, 7820 et seq.).[1] The Fresno County Superior Court based its decision on the following alternate grounds: appellant abandoned his children ( 7822), and appellant was convicted of felonies, the underlying facts of which proved his parental unfitness ( 7825). Appellant last supported his children and had contact with them in 1999 while he and respondent were in the midst of acrimonious marital dissolution proceedings. The trial court found his testimony that he did not intend to abandon the children was not credible. Appellant was subsequently convicted of soliciting the rape and murder of his former wife (the respondent here) and the murder of her family law attorney. The order terminating parental rights is affirmed.
