Getting away with murder.

Now this case about a husband being stabbed by his wife may set a dangerous precedent if only because of the comments associated with the verdict.

Now it sounds like an accident to me so I'm not really all that concerned about this case.

What does concern me is that it is a recipe for getting away with murder. An abusive husband. Verbal abuse is now worse as physical abuse. Kill them, claim you didn't mean to and you get away with it. Another victory for the feminists. When are our legal guys going to grow balls and stop this one sided attack.

It was intolerable but tolerated for years. If she was so concerned about verbal abuse why was she still with him? Using 'cruel words' apparently warrant a death sentence. What exactly are cruel words. 'Fat cow', 'Old bag' although clearly not nice don't warrant such a punishment in my view. He refused to undergo therapy, whoopee doo dah, kill him then. Why not 'I'm leaving you if you don't go for therapy'

Yet again we see males as the aggressors every time. Women can kill and get away with it but can you imagine if it was the other way around. The feminists would have a field day and this guy would have been sent to jail.

It is about time that killing aggressive husbands, boyfriends etc. is not just shrugged off. They need to leave them. If they are stalked or whatever we already have laws for that that can stop it or put them away. But to be judge, jury and executioner then getting support from our society is going to far.

I saw the same article. Quite shocking how she has been given a community sentence.

The subplot seems to be that the husband 'deserved it' for the abuse meted out over time...

As you say, had the roles been reversed, feminists would have been scandalised by a non-custodial sentence!

The interesting thing about this is that for centuries men have dominated women by sheer strength. Now, because we have become more caring and considerate, men let women get away with murder. Quite literally in some cases.
