How sad. She was a dear friend. I hope he pays for this.
Coward…..how come if those aleeged scratches happened over a few days he didnt walk away before that. And a butter knife. Really…..he could have done different than to shoot her. And for them to not find a knife around her……that was murder……i pray he does not get a slap on the wrist for this. So sad.

@Shay…glad you were able to get out of your situation but not all situations are comparable to yours…to another. I don’t know either of these individuals and none of can speculate as to what actually happened inside that home. I understand, completely, PTSD. Some can overcome it and some allow it to beat you down. There’s no excuse for any type of abuse towards another person. I’ve seen it from both man/woman and it’s sad to witness. I pray for this young ladies family and I pray for this gentleman accused of this crime. Yes, we can all say “he should of walked away”…when a person has been in such a sad environment they don’t even think that far…sad sad sad situation right here

@ KARMA
Unfortunately I have walked in the very same shoes that this man has. I did it for 11 years until my abuser decided to start physically abusing my children. Never in the 11 years did I think that murder was the answer. Suicide perhaps but never murder. My ex husband had several guns in the home.

As a woman who was verbally and physically abused I can tell you that there are always options and murder isn’t the answer. You have to ask yourself if staying is worth it. In my case it took an ER visit with suicidal ideations to figure that out. Did I want to stay in the horrible situation or stay. I went home, packed a bag for myself and my two young children and went to a battered woman’s shelter. I never looked back.

I say again, there are always options. They may not be the easiest but they are options none the less.

I don’t pretend to know what the dynamic was between this man and the woman he murdered(allegedly) but I will say he had other options than to shoot and kill her.

This is a very sad situation, men do get abused by women too and it happens more in the elderly individuals than you think, that’s what people don’t understand. A butter knife or a stick, anything is a weapon and I am sure this isn’t the first time she’s abused him and he had a breaking point, someone can only take so much, and no one has walked a day in his shoes to know what he has had to deal with. Your saying he could have just walked away, sometimes it’s easier said than done when you have never been in an abusive relationship. I don’t condone what he did but that may have been the only way to get out of it. You don’t know until you knew what he dealt with on a daily basis. From what I’ve read he seemed to be a pillar of the community, now that same community needs to stand behind him, because he needs someone on his side right now. Let that sink in.

@WOW I totally agree with you except in this case the offender is 72 and lived in the good ol’ days so she should know better.

Btw, “snapping under pressure” could be used to excuse pretty much any kind of heinous crime! PTSD is now a demon that we can blame all our wickedness on. God does not send conditions, diseases, or disorders to hell. He sends people there who have rebelled against Him.
