She knew that it was all about to come down around her and OF COURSE her husband was going to be or was furious at that situation. The laslt thing a pastor in a small town needs is his bank account overdrawn by thousands of dollars.

She "snapped" under all this pressure and shot and killed her husband in cold blood while he slept.

She deserved the death penalty and if not that at least life in prison with no possibility of parole.

I know that she will get her just reward some day but I hope that mystical concept of "karma" comes into play and she does not enjoy her freedom.
DITTO!!!!

I believe she was abused, but I also think she is getting off too easy.

and what do you base that belief on?

her kiting checks?
her falling for an internet scam?
her overdrawing their bank account by $1000s?

or because she shot the guy in the back?


or was it because she got on the stand and contrary to every one else in the known world, said he was a bad guy?

Man, I thought this was a self help thread, and the only thing that went through my mind was:

Lord, don't let Sis. Jill see this one....





Well, never judge a thread by it's cover!

I've seen enough in the domestic abuse shelter where I work to know that it is usually hidden from the public eye. That's the norm, not the exception. And I suspect the jury used good criteria in which to decide whether she was or not.
