The amount of emphasis being given on the marriage itself is shameful. Does it really matter whether he was unfaithful? The trial is about murder, not about fidelity. CNN and Connie Chung are particularly guilty of giving credence to the "poor and helpless housewife driven to kill" idea.

I hate the media.

And Farah jumped on board as well, basically saying that "the creep" (that's how he refered to the dead husband) got what he deserved.

But looky-looky at this little gem: "We had both gone through divorce..." she said.

Hmmm... Wonder if she wasn't so faithful herself in lives past...

I agree — this is about MURDER — not adultery, it's not a hate crime, or vigilante justice — MURDER!!!

Good thing she was driving a Mercedes and not an SUV. At least this gives her a chance to avoid the chair.

The trial is about murder, not about fidelity.

Another poster chided me for not remembering that people who killed philandering spouses were not even charged not so long ago. It made me think.

There's some truth in that.
