Spouses (husbands and wives) have been murdering each other for a long time. Women can get away with self-defense much easier than a man can. Or she can have another guy do it for her and leave him to take the punishment.
Wow, there is SO MUCH MISANDRY in this article it drips from every paragraph.
The first example she uses of a ‘recent’ murder is the O.J. Simpson trial. Recent? That happened in 1994 - 15 years ago!
{and OJ was officially ‘not guilty’...)
The next example used, Scott Peterson from 2002 - 7 years ago!
At least with the Tom Richardson case, she is up to an example from 2006 - only 3 years ago.
The Tara Grant example is reasonably current - 2007 - 2 years old.
Then she uses 2 Escanaba cases: One from 1988 - 21 years ago;
and another one that is 70 year old that is actually a suicide. A SUICIDE !!!
The author chose to only focus on men commiting this horrible act. Yet there are plenty of women who seek to murder their former spouse.
I was just reading the story of a lady who was arrested for pouring liter fluid in the house of her former husband while he and three others slept. Thank goodness she failed in her attempt.
