June Cleaver would know.

No more than Natalie Wood.

The fact that the woman was engaged in infidelity with her husband should have been an afirmative defense against the deeds of that day.

At least thats the way it used to be.

I agree the fact that this went to trial is indeed another example of the decline of civilization.

[null and void]

I know what you're thinking... Did I stab eighteen times or only sixteen? To tell you the truth, I forgot it myself in all this excitement.

This here's a 14" Ginsu Magnum, the most powerful kitchen knife in the world, and it can cut your head clean off. Now, you must ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky?

Well, do you, punk?

2 sides 2 every story
One man's gloom is another man's glory
Sun 2 a shadow, rose 2 a thorn
Ain't no fury like a woman scorned
Ain't no fury like a woman scorned
No fury like a woman scorned

[Thinkin' Gal]

No more than Natalie Wood.

Okay, now that's going overboard.

That's a fair comment, but I would submit that the juries are made up of a cross section of our populace. That they can't rationalize better than this does say something about our society at large. It isn't pretty.

Should infidelity be a reason for ending a marriage? Of course. Should it warrant the death penalty? I don't think so. It is wrong. It's a betrayal of mate and family. I just don't think it's worth killing someone over. That person, by their actions, has demonstrated that they aren't worth the trouble. Write them off...
