Well do you know what he was going to do with her? Maby she thought this was the only way out, was drugged at the time, or maby she is just psycho. What happened in the bedroom and what did the investigation turn up?
Jails are so full of pot heads they toss murders and rapists out. What makes you think they will keep a woman beater in? That guy may have threatened her to keep her in that position.
Thinking it was the only way?
Half the people in jail are there because they thought it was the only way. That doesn't make it right or legal.
Was drugged?
Anything she takes is her fault. I got a buddy that doesn't remember driving his car up to the gate. That didn't keep the MPs from giving him a DUI. You think he forced her to take something? Every drug I've ever heard of being used to rape someone is a downer. Not a hallucinogen or an upper which are the only drugs that would result in violent behavior.
She's psycho?
Probably. The victims friends testified that he had complained about her stalking him and slashing his tires. She killed him while he was in the shower. The sheer anger and violence it would require to stab someone 29 times cut their throat and then when you know they're dead shoot them in the face is excessive. Then when she was questioned she just said she wasn't there. Then when they proved she was she said it was a bunch of burglars. Then she said self defense. Denial. Denial. Denial.
Jail and prison are two different things. Spending a few days in jail doesn't make you a better criminal. Its just traumatizing and makes your life suck for a while discouraging behavior. 27% of people in actual prison are violent offenders and statistically are more like to end up back in prison. The rest are druggies and triple offenders. That's a different debate for a different time though.
