If she were to do this crime in the United States, she would get away with it. All she would have to do is claim, 1) she was beaten as a child, 2) her husband just wanted her to be a stay at home mom, 3) claim her husband was a conservative, 4) claim her husband forced her NOT to have abortion, and 5) claim her husband was favor of the Iraq War and support the troops.
In the United States, she would get the sympathy vote from jurors and her husband would not only pay for the debts. He would also have to pay all court and attorney costs, pay ehr alimony for the rest of her natural life, lose the house and all his possessions to her but he would end up in prison for some trumped up charge the ACLU and her liberal attorney thought up.
Only in the United States.
We have a woman in jail in our community right now for poisoning her husband with anti-freeze. She is thought to have killed her first husband in the same way. Also, she tried to kill her daughter with anti-freeze and pin the second husband’s death on her in a fake suicide note.
