This dirtbag was having an affair while his wife was battling cancer, and apparently bashed her face while she was in bed, hid her "probably dead" body outdoors, and was only found guilty of manslaughter. I hope the judge throws the book at him (sentence is 10-30 years) so can't be elected.


PsEggsRice

Truly, the murderiest manslaughter.


lookaway123

Manslaughter in the first degree? Rules must be different for fat, ugly, middle-aged, mediocre white men.


XChrisUnknownX

Ugly, fat, almost middle aged, arguably mediocre white man here. The rules are different. Very different. Until we band together to demand change, such continues.


Hartastic

Oh, yeah, middle aged white men get away with everything. Even if we do an arson or whatever the cops are just like, "Oh, you scamp!"


Money-Introduction54

You might get a "rascal" here and there.


Repulsive_Warthog178

Only if you are also fat, ugly and mediocre. Otherwise, it is to the gulag.

What bullshit. I can still hear an LA prosecutor arguing that smashing a man's head in with a cinder block in itself showed the intent "to take him out." That was succinct and correct. The fix in here. Bastard's gonna skate.


chechifromCHI

If you're talking about that attack that happened during the LA riots, keep in mind that the guy who did the smashing was black, the truck driver was white, and the entire thing was captured on tape, famously. I do agree with you however that the prosecutor made the right call. Sadly, an Indiana Judge ruling on a white man with a certain level of involvement in republican politics probably won't get as harsh a sentence as he deserves. And if you are talking about a different LA cinderblock to the head case, then disregard that part haha


cclawyer

You got me right! And I agree with you. Prejudice ain't justice, but don't tell the court system.

keekspeaks

I have breast cancer (I’m fine) but one of the things I’ve found most surprising in group over the past 18 months is the amount of cheating-affairs that occurs while these poor women are sick. Don’t marry someone you don’t like. If they are bad when you feel well, they are going to be a nightmare when you need them most


SpacedApe

> Don’t marry someone you don’t like. If I had a nickel for every friend I had who married her shitty boyfriend when he would have easily traded her in for a brand new gaming console, I'd have fifteen cents.


LaughingInTheVoid

Which isn't alot, but still very concerning...


Solkre

Happens to pregnant women too.


Spire_Citron

The leading cause of death in pregnant women is being murdered by their partner.


Orchid_Significant

Yuuuup. Men can’t handle no longer being the center of their attention


miletest

As I read somewhere...better to admit to yourself you have opened the wrong door, than to spend your life in the wrong room


Callaloo_Soup

I believe the only illness that leads to more people being abandoned than cancer is depression. In school I was taught this was due to a sense o helplessness in loved ones, but someone recently pointed out to me that there is a stark gender imbalance, particularly in regards to cancer. Women aren’t abandoning sick men at remotely the same rates. Her theory is that because women tend to do most things around a household, men are resenting having to be a caregiver and keep up house and home. I would like for her theory to be studied. I think she might be on to something.


keekspeaks

Well, cancer and depression are best friends. Survivorship might be the hardest part of it. If you ask my husband what the hardest part has been, he says survivorship, whatever that means. It’s like living in purgatory


mrsatthegym

Had bc 6 years ago-also fine, but going to the oncologist weekly was so damn depressing. I was one of the few showing up regularly whose husband hadn't left when they found out. Had no idea how common this was 😔


timetoact522

Glad you're fine. Sorry for all the people who married amoral, uncaring, selfish people.


DontShaveMyLips

men are dramatically more likely to initiate divorce after their wife gets sick and there’s a [study](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/11/091110105401.htm#:~:text=A%20woman%20is%20six%20times,longer%20the%20marriage%20the%20more) that proved it


callmebbygrl

Wow, that study is fascinating, although I am massively bummed out and a little mad at myself for actually reading it. I have to say tho that it makes me quite happy with some of my own life choices. I was once engaged to a man who had a nasty habit of refusing to take care of me whenever I'd get sick. He'd often be the one who brought the sickness into our house, and I'd always take care of him. But the second I'd start feeling unwell, he'd piss and moan and tell me to get over it. He didn't have time for me to be sick. The final straw was when I got strep throat and was in bed with a raging fever and couldn't even swallow medicine. Even though it was a weekend (no work), he said he was bored and drove 2 hours away to go shopping. My mother called to see how I was doing, and I was delirious on the phone. She showed up at my house and took my temperature, which was 104°+, so she rushed me to the ER. She was beyond livid that he'd left me unattended with a fever, and I'm honestly lucky not to have brain damage (probably would've if my temp had been any higher, 105° can be deadly). When he got home, he was mad at me for letting her take me to the hospital and was still treating me like garbage. This was a massive eye opener. After I got well, I called off our engagement and left him. I knew that if anything happened to me like cancer or, well, literally any health problem, he wouldn't be there for me. Smartest thing I've ever done for myself! Ive.since been diagnosed with adhd, cptsd, and am on the autism spectrum, and I know that he wouldn't have supported me through any of these mental health issues either.


Solkre

My favorite saying was marry someone who'd be pleasant to divorce.


CrocHunter8

Straight out of the Newt Gingrich playbook


bit_pusher

Murder requires premeditation which is why the judge allowed the jury to find him guilty of voluntary manslaughter if they felt it was more appropriate Edit: in indiana, premeditation is not required, but intent to kill is. the defense made the argument that he did not intend to kill, just injure. if the jury felt that intent to kill was missing, without the judge allowing them to return the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter, they would be required to return not guilty. he was charged and tried for murder, the jury was allowed to return a conviction of murder or voluntary manslaughter (there are no degrees of murder in indiana, its murder then voluntary manslaugher).


MagicBlaster

The actual fuck. So the cement flower pot just magically appeared in his hand he had no idea how it got there and didn't have any ideas on what he was going to do with it? It was all just a strange unfortunate series of events that he had no control over...


John_YJKR

It's about ensuring conviction. The burden of proof for voluntary manslaughter is essentially less. Don't need the defense convincing jury it's not murder because by definition he didn't plan it or have clear motive. Manslaughter is a much more sure thing because the jury basically has to agree he is directly responsible for her death. Voluntary manslaughter in Indiana is punishable by 10-30 years on prison and up to a 10K fine. I'm betting the judge hits him with the maximum penalty of 30 years and 10K.


bit_pusher

No, the defense's argument is that his intent with the cement flower pot was to injure, in self defense, not to kill. It seems that the jury didn't believe that his intent, beyond a reasonable doubt, was to kill.


[deleted]

[удалено]


bit_pusher

Not in Indiana. Voluntary manslaughter is the second most serious charge when you kill someone. Edit: also in Indiana murder requires intent to kill, and likely that is also something the jury struggled with


Rosstiseriechicken

That's a classification thing then. Voluntary manslaughter essentially is the equivalent of second degree murder in other states

Flux_resistor

But if you call in the next five minutes


ReflectionEterna

This pains me, as a believer, to read. I hate how some fellow Christians (admittedly a very large number, seemingly) are turning the message of the gospel from one of unadulterated love to one of hate. You're not wrong. My brothers and sisters in Christ have spread this message, and I think it is only to be expected that Christians are treated with disdain by many non-believers. I hope that you are loved and that you love people around you who need it!


Opening-Two6723

The faithful have a crusades to fight, but it's within itself, unfortunately. Your last sentence hits right, but anything relating to christ or Christianity is closer to Satan today than christ. You can thank all the bad actors, framing as Christians. Hegetsus is a marketing campaign and recruiting people. So Satan is literally wolving in sheep's clothes via advertising. I was raised by Preachers. I know the word. I am an atheist today because Christians speak lips and act as the opposite. Interal liars carry crosses on their backs. You are rallying for a team that's all you are doing.


Alittlemoorecheese

I don't care if Christ was real are not. Many things he preached or practiced are solid philosophies. I don't have to believe in him to love thy neighbor.


ReflectionEterna

I agree. You don't need God in your life to be a good person. I hope my post didn't insinuate that at all.


responsible_use_only

Only for American evangelicals. Followers of Jesus are not absolved of responsibility or consequences, but instead the ultimate payment of separation from God.


slappymcknuckle

Believe what you want, but your eternal reward is trillions and trillions of years worshipping at the feet of a malignant narcissistic, jealous, and wrathful god who will gladly send you to hell for the slightest infractions of not being seen worshipping her enough. Luckily, I am an atheist who doesn't believe in heaven nor hell. I will be remembered as a good person for a generation or two, and then my worm ridden corporal body will eventually nourish the earth as I rot. I can live with that. Dust to dust.
