IMO a big part of it is biology - mostly testosterone levels (but research also has shown low serotonin levels contribute to aggressiveness). In general, most species of male mammals are far more aggressive than females; often they are protecting territory or mates or both. Wouldn't be much...

IMHO it's wrong that the jury doesn't know his pleas. Those are relevant to the case!

Perhaps they should be left without food, water, hygiene for days at a time, and loud music played in their cells. I usually believe in rehabilitation and some degree of mercy but not in this case. Treat them the way they treated her. IMHO MOO.

IMHO she told him she was leaving him and he snapped. Afterward he realized he had two options - blame it on an intruder, or blame it on her. Given the CCTV in the lobby, blaming an intruder wouldn't be prudent. It also would lead to the establishment of a crime scene with all that entails. But...

The stepfather is absolutely not culpable. That's like saying a DV victim is partly to blame because "she provoked him into punching her." Firing a weapon into another car is illegal and unacceptable, regardless of the feelings that the other driver's behavior may provoke.

Hunting is not allowed after sunset.

I don't think sexual crimes are increasing necessarily, but that women are more likely to report them rather than stay silent. IMHO MOO.

So she allegedly killed the father of her children (JW) by cutting off his head because she was afraid that him moving in with her and her husband, who is JW's son from a previous relationship, would disrupt her family's life. Her husband is her children's stepfather but also their half...

So she is 22, about to have her third child and yet cannot care for children. <sarcasm> It's so great that her parents/family members/anyone is looking out for her and ensuring that she has reliable birth control.</sarcasm>

This case reinforces to me that white male privilege is still going strong. Imagine if CS had been Parker's stay-at-home mother, rather than her father. Would a judge have shown the same leniency? I don't think so. Grown men's abhorrent behavior is excused and glossed over. After submitting...

I'm still shocked that AB is not in custody.

Why on earth can't LE do something? Sounds like Ashlee did not have legal custody but took Melodee anyway and was the last person M was seen with. And Ashlee is now refusing to cooperate? In what universe is none of this illegal / worthy of arrest

Both things can be true - it is a DV-associated homicide AND he loved her, grieved her loss, and had pet names for her. ' And it really doesn't matter if anyone else saw any evidence of stress or tension or DV in their relationship! Abusers are very good at hiding it. But EG was less so - she...

The idea that this was a suicide has never made sense. It was based on believing SG's assertion that EG was in the apartment alone and alive when he left for the gym, and that the door was locked from the inside when he returned. It is not based on any evidence, biomechanics, or physics, that's...
