Ok, I have a friend that was brutally murdered a year ago. It was awful. He had been having an affair with a woman for about 15 years. She had made attempts on his life and his wife's life many, many times. The day that he was murdered, his girlfriend had paid for a retainer for a divorce for him. They had been together all day and spent time together. Then, he had went home that evening. They had parted on good terms. Later that night, the girlfriend called him up and asked him to come over. He did and he went in, took his shoes off, and went upstairs. His girlfriend went in the bathroom and started a bath. He was in her bedroom. She came out of the bathroom with a pillow in front of her. Behind the pillow was a gun. She shot him twice. Then, she moved the pillow and continued shooting. She shot him again as he made his way to the stairs trying to get away from her. He stumbled down the stairs and through the living room to the front door. She shot him 2 more times during this. As he exited the front door, she fired 2 more shots. She hit him with 1 and missed with the last shot. So, she shot him 6 times from her bedroom, into the hallway, down the stairs, through the living room, and out into the yard. Then, she calls the police to say that she shot an intruder. When police arrive, she is walking around her yard with a flashlight looking for him. They said that any regular person that had just shot someone that had broke into their house would not be out looking for them. I totally agree with this statement. I know both parties very well. I have seen this lady run over the man and his wife. I have seen her beat both of them with a 2x4. I have seen her stab him. Plus, I have witnessed many other incidents. However, she was acquitted on Friday of all accounts. No 1st degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, or any other lesser charge. She just walked away. She literally got away with murder. What is our world coming to when you can shoot someone 6 times and just walk away from it free? Please help me understand this.
