GUILTY AK - Kristy Manzanares, 39, killed aboard Emerald Princess, Juneau, 25 July 2017 *husband arrested*

[Tippy Lynn]

Maybe he'll plead insanity.

Four states, including Kansas, Montana, Idaho, Utah, do not allow the insanity defense.

ETA- since this is a federal case the defendant may plead insanity.

Federal and state availability

In the United States, a criminal defendant may plead insanity in federal court, and in the state courts of every state except for Idaho, Kansas, Montana, and Utah.[SUP][30]

I agree. And I can't imagine he would want to put his girls and family through the pain of testifying. Even someone who kills his wife is capable of caring about his kids after the fact in the cold light of day when reality sinks in...I would hope, anyway.

He put his wife through the pain of killing her, apparently right in front of his kids. I won't hold out any shred of hope that he'll decide to spare anyone any pain (other than himself).

Tapatalk has been terrible lately. Did it get an 'update'? It's harder to navigate, I find a lot of things I click never load; it's really off-putting.

Yes, my Tapatalk app had an update about 8 days ago.

So - we don't have an actually "date" yet for his next court hearing?

TIA!

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Has Mr. Manzanares undergone a psych evaluation?

 

[SteveP]

I would assume that would be one of the first things his attorney would request, but it is not something we are aware of, at this point.

Typical plea for some.

This issue may not be significant to others, but IT IS TO ME. In all the photos of beautiful Kristy, I noticed that she is wearing her wedding ring. (Some of the published photos have been cropped, so you do not see her hands....so you'll have to look for them) She is even wearing her wedding ring on the photo taken right before she boarded the ship. Conversely, KenM is not wearing a wedding ring in any picture I have found....I have enlarged them, focused in. (I've attd the full photo. And there is also another in front of crashed airplane, etc.)

I've heard all the reasons (too many in fact) from women who jump in and claim, "My husband doesn't wear a wedding ring because of his job", yada, yada, yada. Ironically, the woman who told me her husband never wore a wedding ring, didn't know her husband showed up at one of our properties with the "woman he had just picked up at a bar!" I wouldn't go along with his deception and threw him. My husband and I are equals in our marriage....we both contribute to the household. I was a single business woman for many years....and I have seen a lot. I told my husband, the day he stops wearing his wedding ring (FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN AMPUTATION OF HIS LEFT ARM) I will assume he is no longer committed to our relationship. I'm sure my observation will generate controversy, but so be it. It is afterall my own personal experiences that have formed my opinion.
I can only surmise Kristy was proud of being married. She loved her family, adored her children and didn't deserve the violent rage that took her life. Why is it that the men who do not wear their wedding rings before the death of their spouses, so conveniently wear them when they are on trial?

Ok glad that's what works for you and your husband. However my husband does not wear his ring to work because he works with his hands and it's literally a safety hazard. How dare you insinuate he is not as dedicated to our marriage as I am? FWIW I wear my ring because it's a gorgeous big rock. For a lot of women it's a status symbol thing.

Let's be real, kristy was gorgeous. I highly doubt her husband was raking in the hotties whether he wore his ring or not.

I believe it is what is in the person's heart that makes him/her married, far more than what is on a finger. While I always chose to wear mine, I do think there are many valid reasons for not wearing one. As you pointed out, Kristy was gorgeous, and I also would bet that she was the big breadwinner financially in the marriage, so if she had voiced a problem with hubby not wearing a wedding ring, he most likely would have had one on.

Not a significant issue to me, and yes I'm using the work excuse. I love my ring but I have to take it off any time I go "on the floor", usually multiple times a day. I end up leaving it off and squared away somewhere safe all week. If I try to keep putting it back on throughout the week, without fail I'll realize I'm wearing it when I shouldn't be and my only options are to put it loose in my pocket or put it on my keyring in my pocket. No bueno.

Mine is a welder, wearing a ring (even a silicone one) is a safety hazard.

In recent years, I (a woman) have not been able to constantly wear my wedding rings due to an allergic reaction. No one knows why I was fine for many, many years .... but the last five or so I seem to develop horrid rashes from out of nowhere. I tend to switch my rings from the right hand to the left ... does that count as being deceptive? I hope not. And DH has never worn a ring.

Nickel allergy? You could try clear nail polish. Or maybe there is something better.

thanks .. Good idea, and I wish it was that simple.... didn't work. I have always been allergic to "cheap metals", but never to my quality rings and earrings. Now I cannot wear jewelry, but am not welcome to giving up my wedding rings yet.

 

[human]

I have a nickel allergy and even gold contains nickel. I can wear stainless steel . I have my grandfather's wedding ring from 1901 and that must not contain nickel as it is gold.

I can also wear sterling but the jeweler needs to know the quality . That is that it has no nickel.

Hi Spellbound :wave: I have a similar situation, My DH gave me a new ring for our anniversary three years ago. Unfortunately it has been breaking my finger out since. Partly due possibly to a nickel allergy, but mostly I think because the band is quite wide. So I only wear it when I go out, not around the house, water from washing my hands when in the kitchen is retained under the band.
Ive been told that I should wear either 18 karat gold or even better, Platinum. Mine is 14 karat gold . My DH only wears his when he's not working because he works with his hands and it's not safe.
