SewingDeb - Although I think that Justin murdered his wife, I don't think that those accused should be added to this thread until they are convicted. That's just my opinion, though. :blushing:

Oh, I'm sorry. I guess we shouldn't add the guy who may have shot the judge in Reno and is now charged with stabbing his wife to death unless/until he's convicted.

SewingDeb - Like I said, that's just my opinion! I didn't start this thread, but I figured that we should at least let these guys have their day in court!!

Then, again, there are actually some murderers that did have their day in court and got off--like Blake and Simpson!! So, forget what I suggested!! :blowkiss:
 
Oh, I'm not arguing. I'm glad you posted that because I was finding all kinds of men on trial right now for the murder of their wives. I can wait to see if they're convicted before adding them.

LOL about Blake and Simpson. I know what you mean.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) -- A jury recommended a death sentence Monday for a north Florida man who was convicted of gunning down his wife on a beach, then making up a story about a botched robbery.

After deliberating 30 hours before finding Justin Barber, 34, guilty Saturday of first-degree murder for killing his wife April Barber, 27, at Guana River State Park in August 2002, jurors spent just an hour before reaching an 8-4 death recommendation.
------------------------------
Prosecutors said Barber killed his wife to collect on a life insurance policy worth more than $2.1 million. They said Barber was facing mounting debt and his wife's allegations of infidelity. He was arrested in July 2004.

Sep 23, 2006 - Green gets 90 years for killing wife, unborn son

CROWN POINT | For what David Green referred to as a "series of bad decisions" he'll be spending 90 years in prison.

A jury found Green, 31, guilty of murdering his estranged wife, Stacy Green, 29, and their unborn son, Nathanael, in their Griffith home Nov. 2, 2004. Stacy Green was days from delivering the child.

At his sentencing Friday, Green told Lake Criminal Court Judge Thomas P. Stefaniak Jr. his first bad decision was moving out in February 2003, when Stacy Green asked him to leave.

That was followed by having an affair, telling Stacy Green about it after having dinner with her and their two children Nov. 2, 2004, and fighting back when she attacked him with a knife, he said.

Upon sentencing Green, Stefaniak added to that list of bad decisions "clearly wiping the knife" off on his dead wife's sweat shirt, washing it and putting it back in the kitchen drawer, walking to the car and driving back to his mistress, leaving his two children, age 4 and 5, to discover their mother dead in a pool of blood.

Peter McFetridge murders girlfriend- August 1985

<Snip>
Peter McFetridge in 1988 on charges of murdering his girlfriend in August of 1985 even though her body hadn't been found.

Goodfellow said the girlfriend had kicked McFetridge out of the house the day before she disappeared.

He said there was blood on the carpet of the home the couple shared on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland and there were bullet holes on the floor and wall that he believed came from a rifle that McFetridge owned.

Goodfellow said he also introduced a statement by McFetridge's mother that McFetridge had admitted to her that he had shot his girlfriend.

In a dramatic development in the trial, McFetridge, who was represented by veteran defense lawyer Tony Serra, claimed that he shot his girlfriend in self-defense and revealed that he had buried her 3 feet under their house.

His trial was halted for nearly two weeks while authorities dug up her body.

Goodfellow said the girlfriend's body had five bullet wounds, which he said destroyed McFetridge's contention that he had shot her in self-defense.

McFetridge, who died in state prison last year, was convicted of second-degree murder.

However, Goodfellow said he thinks McFetridge would have been convicted of first-degree murder if his girlfriend's body hadn't been found.

He said because the body was found, McFetridge was able to give jurors "a plausible story" that the shooting occurred during a heat of the moment boyfriend-girlfriend argument.

"His story was that there had been a confrontation," Goodfellow said.

I wonder, in how many of these murders were there previous signs of violence by the husband? In many cases it's reported that no one had any idea there were problems in the marriage and the husband had never before been violent or even in trouble with the law.

Many of the Scotty supporters refuse to believe he's guilty because he was always known to be "kind and supportive" and had never had so much as a traffic ticket. How rare (or common) is that?

To paraphrase from John Douglas, "If the perp's character doesn't seem to match the crime, then you just didn't really know his character." I'll try to find the exact quote.
 
Seems like the main reasons husbands/boyfriends kill their wives/girlfriends are:


1- She's in the way and he wants out

2-She's pregnant and he doesn't want the burden of another child

3-Collecting on that life insurance policy is looking really good to him

4-She's decided to leave and he can't handle losing control of her (Kinda of like, "If I can't have her, no one else will")
