He beat her mercilessly.
Not surprised if she was “in on it”.
There are Muslims who hit and demean their wives EVERY DAY, as part of their religion.
Was she stupid for pursuing a relationship with him? Oh yeah. But once connected to him she was not her own person, but dream on and call her names if it makes you feel bigger...
But not with a stick thicker than their thumb. Sharia law says that would be wrong.
I don’t buy the “he beat her” story. I think that was a lame attempt to provide cover for her.
Where were her parents(she visited frequently with Speed Bump) on the merciless beatings?
They are a doctor and a nurse, they are required to report this abuse. How could they allow this to go on?
Weren’t they afraid for the safety of their grandchild?
So she ceased to have personal moral responsibility for her actions?
She therefore is permitted to commit any crime she wants without culpability?
That's a strangely anti-American and misogynistic analysis.
I also read that she worked 80 hours per week and he had not job.
I'm not aware that she has made that claim.
Tamerlan's assault charge was for slapping the face of a different woman, Nadine Ascencao, 25 years old, of Brookline. According to Ascencao, the fight was over another woman. The charges were dismissed before trial. "He was always tough," Ms. Ascencao said, but "never really did anything major." Not until he got religion, apparently.
