Ah yes, that normal marital problem of sleeping with two other women.

It’s certainly not the sort of character evidence that makes you think there must have been a terrible mistake, is it? The man sounds vile. I imagine she feels very conflicted for the sake of her children. Not quite sure how old they are now but having your mum give evidence that your dad...

The case might actually have been easier if she had died (not that I am wishing that on her, of course). All the empirical evidence points one way as far as I can see, but her statements really muddy the waters. I think he will be convicted though, there doesn’t seem to be any other rational...

The case is very odd. I can’t think of another example of attempted murder where the victim seems quite ambivalent about the charge. It must be a mind bender for the legal teams.

It’s interesting, isn’t it? I think she doesn’t want to believe that he did it.

Nor me. She wouldn’t be in a position to probably even think straight after such an horrific experience, and he doesn’t exactly strike me as the type to have enough courage or honour to end the relationship normally or respectfully.

This case seems too far fetched to be believed but he surely is guilty, right? I can’t think of any other explanation, though I think you’re right that the defence will suggest suicide. It’s all so audacious though, did he think that these things weren’t investigated?

Yes, I’ve watched that before. It’s terrifying that it was never solved.

I hope so too. The bloke sounds like a total slime ball full stop.

I’m sure Elsie’s sibling is with their Dad. As far as I can see he has faced no charge so there is no reason to assume that his child has been removed from his care.

I don’t think her other parent has faced any charges from what I’ve read? I wonder if it’s to do with protecting his other child.

Sorry, editing post as read properly now. It’s a really sad story.

Gosh, she’s been waiting a while for this, hasn’t she?

This whole crime is very odd. No wonder her exotically-named brother is smelling rats.

I thought some of you might find this interesting. Sertraline and Prozac are both SSRIs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/aurora_shooting

Crikey, he's enjoying his moment in the spotlight, isn't he??

Just seen this, I'm delighted that he has been brought to justice.

I certainly have seen lots of oblique references to the instagram post in MSM. I think the judge yesterday called it a cry for help. But no-one seems to have offered effective help.

On the traumatic childhood event front, it does bring to mind Jed Allan who killed his mum, stepdad and sister (and subsequently himself) when he realised his mum was on heroin again, which seemed to be based on protecting his sister from what he endured as a child. That said, he wasn't...

I think it's a known side effect that it can make suicidal feelings much stronger. It's not a suitable drug for psychosis but I don't know if it is can cause it.
