I see your point and I somewhat agree with what you wrote. Would CC have committed this crime had he merely been miserable as a husband and father, without someone else waiting for him? It is impossible to say at this juncture. I personally think the fact he had MM waiting on him, and his strong desire to fill whatever "hole" or "void" he felt in his life, placed a bit of urgency into this for him.
So, I don't think you can say she didn't truly have anything to do with this. She may not have helped plan it, and she may not have wanted it to happen, but ultimately - much like JMM being connected in a minute way - she is linked to this crime.
Sorry, I just wanted to comment on the Fl g/f........TL is in no way responsible for what happened to Chris Coleman's family.
CHRIS COLEMAN is the one, IMHO, who did this crime.
CHRIS COLEMAN is responsible and no one else.
This is the same thing we've been through with just about every case of a husband murdering his wife. They usually have a g/f. The g/f is clueless as to the capabilities of their often times secret lover.
TL may be guilty of poor behavior in dating her friend's husband.
TL may be guilty of dating a married man.
TL also may be guilty of stupidity in believing this man loved her and was leaving his wife and kids for her.
TL is in NO WAY responsible for this crime.
Chris Coleman didn't want to be married anymore.
Chris Coleman wanted to be free.
Chris Coleman wanted a different life-style.
IMHO, it wasn't the g/f, just as it wasn't in the Laci Peterson case. It's the *life-style* of FREEDOM that Chris wanted.
When one murders their wife and children to get what they want, there's no one else to blame. There are NO EXCUSES.
We'll never understand it. We'll know the reason, but we'll never understand how he could have done such a thing. Because to understand it and accept it, it would take us all in a very dark recesses of a mind, that we do NOT want to even go.
JMHO
