RBBM
I think that some women (straight, married, have children) may defend CW with the subconscious idea that if he did it, so could their spouse. So, if they place the blame on SW it can't happen to them. They would never do this to their own family, their husband certainly wouldn't, now they're "safe". It was just some "other" high strung woman, couldn't happen here, no way, never...
It's always important to look at the subconscious reasons why we might be reacting to an event in a certain way. I know that I view this case subjectively, others must too, but some people don't stop to censor or ruminate enough. Not speaking of anyone on this board, but in a general sense.
IMO
