In Britain, you will find that many murders are given the verdict: misadventure. Seriously. When I lived there, a man from the south of England drowned his wife up in the Lake District. He then reported her missing. When her body floated up and was recovered, they put the pieces of the story together and figured out he killed her. And many people just said ‘well, she nagged him’. And excused it. I don’t remember that he had to do any time for the murder.
I have the transcripts from his lawyers interrogation. “Was she a big nagger?” ‘ No, no. A little white white woman about this high.’
True, but then I am a Scotsman. LOL
If its the case I am thinking of, you are wrong.
