Murder?
1.He got himself drunk that night
2.He put himself in the suitcase
3.He put himself in a position where he was dependent on a woman with known (especially by him) alcohol & emotional issues
A video featuring emotional drunk talk does not prove murderous intent
2 intoxicated people doing stupid intoxicated things
She passes out and he is trapped
Accident
Manslaughter/reckless homicide at best, if the system understands "justice"
May not satisfy a lynchmob but would closer to a just outcome
JMO on our broken system
She wasn't so drunk that she couldn't instantly formulate a plan and decide that zipping him in would be an excellent way of keeping him trapped to have to listen to her, and punish him for his previous wrongs against her.
She wasn't so drunk that she couldn't apply logic/reason/memory of his transgressions to why she wanted him in the case and what she wanted to say to him, and actually respond cognitively to him saying he couldn't breathe.
She wasn't so drunk that she couldn't remember she was creating her own library of videos of him, and then film him for over two minutes with a steady hand.
She wasn't so drunk that next day speaking to an officer outside she couldn't remember wanting him to squirm when she zipped him in. In other words pay.
She is responsible for her defense. It wasn't that she was too intoxicated to form intent, it was that she intended to keep him hostage and then lied that she thought he could get himself out. She wouldn't have felt as safe as she did to sit and laugh at him, if she thought he could get out and attack her, right then or when she went to bed.
She left him and went to bed knowing he couldn't breathe - how can we tell that? - because she acknowledged that to him, the danger she had put him in, on film. Yep, you can't breathe and it's for all the times you did this and this.
IMO
