How to murder your wife. Jack Lemmon..funny movie
He said, yes I killed her, and she deserved it. An all male jury found him not guilty.
LOL! I think that's a fact question. A killing may not be murder or even manslaughter, but justifiable homicide (i.e. 'she deserved it' or in the good old Southern phrase, 'he needed killin'.)
Did his lawyer request a jury instruction on justification?
