Why was John Abbott on Y&R in jail?!


Question: I saw Jack having a flashback of him and his dad in jail and John was drafting his will. Why was John in prison? I can't remember for the life of me the charges. Can anyone shed light on this? thanks.

John was arrested back then when he shot and killed "Terrible" Tom Fisher, Gloria's Ex Husband, and Kevins Bio father. He was sick of Tom threatening his family and blackmailing his wife. Not to mention Ashley was caught up in being friendly with the guy, (even if it was just to get closer to him in order to get inside information and to frame him), and John felt a need to protect them all. So he pulled out his gun in the alley behind a steak house restaurant and shot Tom. Ashley tried to take the blame, stating that she would be able to convice a jury that it was only self defence since she is a woman, but John finally took responsiblity for the crime and went to prison. While he was in prison, his health took a turn for the worse, and he ended up acting a little delirious. He kept calling Gloria "Dana" (a bad ex from years back). Seeing how easy to manipulate his father was, Jack dictated to John what his will "Should" say. Jack kept making refrences to "Dad, Your WIFE, with the way she treated you, Shouldn't get anything!" Being so general like that, John thought he was leaving Dana out of his will, Not Gloria. (Jack didn't like Gloria, and thought that she shouldn't get ANY of HIS hard earned inheritance, Even though John was in love with her and left her the house and almost half his money in a will he had done up months before) Jack made sure he had no fingerprints on the paper by backing up when John offered the will to him, and told him to take it straight to the Clergyman of the Prison. When the Prison Clergyman called Jack after John died from his stroke stating that a will was given to him, Jack acted surprised at the finding, pretending he knew nothing about it.
This is what sparked his flashback...The same Clergyman that John gave his will to was now working at Phyliss's prison. That deed was actually what sparked the whole deception of the Jabot Cosmetic/House of Kim Scandel. Jack wanted to prove himself to his father that he COULD take care of the family Legacy. So he collected all of the inheritance, bought "House of Kim" and had GiMin Kim buy Jabot Cosmetics.
That is why he seemed so uneasy and sad/guilty looking when he saw the Clergyman.

Hope this helped.

John got mixed up with Gloria and found out that Gloria was being blackmailed from her ex hubby...So John got his gun and found him and shot him dead.Thats why John went to jail.
