Would you kill for LOVE?...

While I was a freshman studying Criminal Law, one of the cases I dissected was about a woman who killed her husband in order to protect their child from harm. The incident took place in their home. The family came home from the park due to heavy rain. The husband was at the stairway walking his way up the stairs while his 3-year-old son was behind him. Accidentally, the husband was out of balance. The wife who was just a few steps away saw that the husband was about to fall and the child will be harmed. Instantly, the wife held the umbrella up to stop the husband from falling, instead he was pierced by the umbrella and got killed. Though the child was safe, he lost his father from the incident. The wife was prosecuted for the murder but the verdict came out that she was not guilty on the ground of self-defense. A man was murdered inside the University library last week. The investigation shows that it was a case of a love-triangle. The suspect was a married man. He shot the victim with the suspicion that they had an affair with his wife. Although the affair was not confirmed, he still managed to kill the victim. The suspect was arrested and is now on trial for the murder. Two cases, two murders, but with the same denominator which is love. Victims are innocent but were killed with the same reason, love. If you are going to kill for love, which one are you?
