Her lawywer did his job; present his client’s case in the light most favorable to the client. The fault here was the prosecutor who allowed her claims of abuse to go unchallenged, allowing her to keep those shoes on the stand throughout her testimony, and other mistakes.

This woman gunned down her husband in cold blood after he discovered her involvement with the Nigerian scammers and the resultant debt incurred in her pursuance of greed. She unplugged the telephone in his bedroom as he lay bleeding. There was no mention and no one observed any abusiveness by him prior to her blowing him away with a backshot by a shotgun she previously loaded and kept in the closet for this event. This was clearly a lawyer slander in the courtroom of the Preacher and a feminist dream of killing a man of the cloth and getting away with it.

Why should their "needs" be addressed in the slightest?
"Help me - or I'll kill you!" ???
No, it doesn't work that way.

"Her lawywer did his job;" He is still immoral for his work. Many men are paid under contract to do evil in the name of some "greater good". They are all as guilty for it.

Say what? Are we doing enough to help abusive women??

Understatement of the year, and I wasn't surprised at all.

Truly, this is an important question. Also, are we doing enough to help murderers, robbers, and rapists?

This woman lived about 8 miles from me.....
This is one case where I unequivocally would say,
I wouldn't "hit" it....
A man would have to be part Black widow or praying mantis to "hit" this woman....

criminal law is a dirty business on either side. prosecutors have to prosecute those they believe don't deserve to be punished, and defense lawyers have to defend those they know to be guilty. But it is a price worth paying for a system based on the notion that it is better that the guilty go free than the innocent punished, and that the State must prove its case rather than the defendant prove himself innocent.
I still say the fault lies first with the prosecutor for a lackluster prosecution, and second with the jury who gave in to the two women who (allegedly) stated at the start of deliberations they would convict of nothing higher than manslaughter.

“Stripper shoes and a slimely lawyer in Steve Farese got here out.”
Having a 10-woman, 2-man jury didn’t hurt her, either. Her daughter testified, under oath, that Dad never raised a hand. The jury chose to ignore the glaring lack of even one shred of evidence of abuse.

does she still have the moustache she had at the trial?
I have so far resisted the temptation to drive down to McMinnville and go into this store to see what the face of a murderer really looks like. I would love to put up a billboard across the street with her husband's picture on it, with the caption "WHY?".

” a system based on the notion that it is better that the guilty go free than the innocent punished, and that the State must prove its case rather than the defendant prove himself innocent. “
According to Bill O Reilly and the gaggle of (female) ‘legal experts’ that infest FNC, this is no longer in force.....

The last picture I saw of her is that she’s been eating very well. Mary is a poster child for the feminist movement. I am glad she is now living in McMinnville....I live South of Selmer right on the stateline.

Why is Congress Ignoring the Needs of Abusive Women? Why is Congress doing anything? This is a state matter.

This, I hadn’t heard about.
