Maybe this guy was an abuser, but she never went to police? She had no other options?
Would be very easy to fake bruises (self inflicted) and literally get away with murder.
Watch the film RED PILL for a start on the Men's Movement.
This happened in Lose Iana. Things different there.
You can switch the roles here with him cap’n her and see how that shit would have stood up
If he’s strangling her at the time she shot him I can see how that would be self-defense.
IMO that is.
If abuse can be proven that would be a mitigating factor in determining the severity of a charge as well as determining sentencing but it shouldn't be a get out of jail free card.
I used to know the long time police chief of a small town in Western, North Carolina. He was a really sharp old guy.
Something he told me stuck in my mind. He said women would sometimes push their husband mentally and verbally until he would finally push back. She would then call the police and use the law against him in a divorce.
A Sheriff’s Office spokesman said none of the prior incidents of abuse had been reported to law enforcement. “The woman described hiding the abuse from friends and family but was able to provide a significant amount of corroborating evidence to back her statements,” Capt. Jason Rivarde said.

Hmmm....I wonder how much insurance they were carrying on his life.
Says she has evidence of past abuse. Some women are too afraid to tell or go to the cops. I knew a woman whose husband would wait until the kids were sound asleep, then beat her body on areas the kids would not be likely to see. She would muffle her screams so the kids wouldn’t hear her. She was too afraid to go to the cops or leave him. I asked her why he was beating her. “ Well, I guess it’s my fault. I guess I just make him mad.”, was her reply. I knew another woman who, as a young woman, had gotten married to a Puerto Rican guy, who was a drug dealer. Like the other woman, he demanded a perfect home. This one was made to keep the house spotless, and wash the walls, floor to ceiling, every week, or get beaten. She also had 2 kids and a full time job, and her husband would clock her drive time, and if she got home one minute past the time he new the drive was, he’d beat her. She finally got away from him. I forget if he went to prison or was killed. She never reported his behavior. She was scared to death of him. I’d like to think if a man beat me, he’d only do it ONCE, but when there are kids involved, I imagine the fear of what might happen to them if he killed you or succeeded in getting your kids away from you, would complicate your actions, to say the least.
Having said all that, if the woman had some kind of documentation that she had been repeatedly abused, she might have been better off to be charged and gotten acquitted. There’s no statute of limitations on murder. I’d hate to have that possibility hanging over my head the rest of my life.
On the other hand, she might have gotten some jurors like a few FReepers here, to whom no woman is any good, it’s always their fault, and they all deserved to be beaten.
Assume the local cops know these people better than I do.
“...multiple gunshot wounds”.
Still moving. Ah another twitch.
Perhaps it’s time to quit worrying about who’s the more deserving victim. The dead dude was under the same obligation as the wife to express his victimhood and run from the toxic relationship long before this confrontation.
Unless somebody can find a huge life insurance policy issued a couple of weeks before his death, the axiom of mutual respect should apply. I figure that this round goes to the wife. It looks like the prosecutor agrees.
