Even if there was clear evidence of homicide, where is evidence that the husband committed homicide?
“Means, motive, opportunity” is good guidelines for investigation, but it is not evidence.
Rumor has it, he didn’t even have a dog, but would have been convicted of it anyway.
Didn’t comply to rules of evidence.
How do you get two counts of murder when only one person died?
Not sure if it applies here but in some states if you kill a pregnant woman you get charged with 2 counts of murder rather than 1.
Case was “merely supposition”, as Holmes would say.
How can you murder someone twice?
Oh boy, she got de crazy eyes!
We had a secretary that committed suicide after a string of personal tragedies. Her husband committed suicide, a year later her son did too, and then her daughter died in a car accident. All of this in a span of 3 years.
It was very sad.
Thanks for the correction. I was tired and missed they were not using her married name of Moore (still can’t get used to that) and see now that indeed it was her stepson. The article says she was “deeply affected” by his death, though, and I have no reason to doubt that.
That poor man, lost his son to suicide, then his wife, then falsely accused of her murder. Apparently, depressed people* who commit suicide are in such a dark place they are unable to consider how it will affect those who love them, even if they know that terrible complicated grief firsthand, as this lady did.
So often, those who have lost someone very close to them to suicide torture themselves with questions like “why didn’t I see this coming?” and “what could I have have done to prevent it?” and “is there anything I said or did to contribute to their decision?” Some become suicidal themselves.
*There may be a few “revenge” suicides, as in “I’ll make them sorry” but I imagine these are a tiny minority of completed suicides.
I don't know. Derek Chauvin was convicted of two counts of murder and one of manslaughter for the death of George Floyd, and I have not seen an explanation of how the prosecutors were able to bring all of those charges for a single death. Perhaps someone knowledgeable in criminal law will be able to explain it.
