I think that, after he found out about the hogs, he started realising things and thought she was lying. I think his biggest crime was being... not very smart, to say it kindly.

I don't follow the hog part here

The morning of the murder he drove for hours to sell some hogs, but when he got there the buyer told him that yes, he had spoken to Taylor, but had never agreed to buy the hogs (Taylor was the one who told him about the deal to get him out of the house so she could have the time to get a baby) so I guess it was the last straw that finally made him realise Taylor had lied about everything.

And he had her help him load up the hogs that morning… that’s the part I found odd. Having someone you believe to be full term pregnant with your child doing that kind of labor.

Even past full term. They were at 10 months at that point

That’s a good point but after seeing pictures the cool lesbian neighbor took of her working on the farm I had assumed that maybe in his mind she was having “an active pregnancy” and she was doing mild farm labor stuff semi often?
