Marriage, You Just Have to Smile at True Love

Is the institution of marriage strong or do the marriage strike advocates have another powerful arrow in their quiver? Let's ask Cody Lee Johnson's family and see what they think.  Cody Lee Johnson, 25, married Jordan Linn Graham, 22, because he was "in love." They had dated for two years and certainly he must have thought she was the one.  On July 7, 2013, just eight days into his marriage, Cody's new bride allegedly pushed him face-first off a cliff in Glacier National Park.  Jordan initially told authorities that Cody had left with friends but later supposedly confessed to the crime. Cody Lee Johnson's body was found five days later in an area of the park so steep and rugged that a helicopter had to be used to retrieve his body.

According to charging information, Jordan allegedly admitted to authorities that she had initially lied.  She supposedly said that she and Johnson had an argument, were upset and decided to go to the Loop Trail.They continued arguing on the trail until a point when Johnson allegedly grabbed her arm.  This allegedly caused Jordan to push Cody "..in the back, and as a result, he fell face first off the cliff."

Jordan Linn Graham has been charged in federal court with second-degree murder. charge in Johnson's July 7 death. So far, Jordan's public defender, Andrew Nelson, has no comment.
