theweaselkingUpdate on this story from yesterday, since more facts have come out:
The wife only claimed she was being raped *after* the husband shot her lover, the 911 call shows that the husband never believed her about it at all, and the husband has a history of violent and abusive behaviour.
Meaning,
1) it wasn't self-defense or defense of property, he just killed the man who was kissing his wife.
2) the accusations of rape came after that, when the wife was afraid he'd kill her, too.
3) the tape record shows that he never, ever believed her story about the rape.
Short version: Her conviction is a travesty, his non-trial is a travesty.
