I imagine Laurean’s defense attorneys will claim that Maria was having a consensual affair with Laurean who dumped her. Then she vindictively accused him of rape. However, when she tested positive for pregnancy, she believed she could persuade Laurean to continue their relationship and perhaps even leave his wife & child.
Her final, desperate effort to get Laurean’s affection was to drop the charges against him and check out of the Marines. Maria confronted Laurean & his wife at their home and became physically abusive. Laurean was defending himself & his wife and accidentally killed Maria. They both panicked and Laurean’s note describing *suicide* was written under duress and inaccurate.
Now I shall try to regain some sanity and fix lunch.
IMO, Cesar's wife threw an iron skillet.
Maybe you should write for TV (I hear they need writers these days ;) ;) )
Keep in mind, one doesn’t ‘check out’ of the Marine Corps.
