Woman kills man by spiking his smoothie with antifreeze
posted by Adam on 04:36 PM July 13th, 2004
Domestic Violence bandersnatch writes "In this article, a woman charged with killing her brother-in-law by spiking his smoothie with antifreeze admits putting the chemicals in the drink, however she pleads not guilty to the charge of murder. Why? Because she only intended to hurt her relative severely enough so that he would have to move into her home — and she could then take control of his finances, claims her attorney. Who wants to bet she'll end up with some sentence like a year in some low security prison while if a man was found guilty, he'd be sitting in the chair?"

The man this monster murdered had his insurance in her husbands name. The husband was not involved with this crime and hasn't been charged.

I wonder if he will use the insurance money to try to get her off? Some men are really that dumb I am sorry to say.
Death in the commision of a felony is Murder 1 (Score:1)

As most of you who post here know I try to be logical in my posts and don't pretend to be a legal scholar. Why the disclaimer? Because I am about to say this:

Correct me if I am wrong, but causing the death of someone while in the commision of a felony is a capitol offense and many states call for Murder in the first. She was attempting fraud at such a level it would be a felony - or whatever she would be charged with I am sure it has got to be beyond a misdemeanor.

Now, if the original crime is reduced to something trivial, then it could be involuntary manslaughter.

But, consider this: suppose I give a woman exstasy for an attempt to commit a sexual assault, and instead she dies: isn't THAT on par? I mean, some will say "rape is a complete violation" (to which I would agree) but the after effects of this toxin can be permanent damage. I know I'm mixing apples and oranges, but you get my drift.

Anyone else want to chime in?

Wow!

I thought feminism was against "objectifying" people.

This cupcake targeted the man as a piece of dead meat .... that's pretty terminally objectifying.

And her lawyer has the gall to suggest "she only tried to kill him," though not REALLY kill him, because she had a plan that would benefit everybody!

The defense strategy is a not-too-subtle appeal to a jury's assumed chauvanism and silly idealist dementia about how women don't premeditate violence, and how, if they do, it's always got an altruistic side to it.

Dead is dead.

But not if you're female.... a dead body of your own making just means "I've been further victimized by the Evil Patriarchy! Call my womynz' advocate, stat!

And, indeed you are correct Steven; it seems she's been charged with muder.

From the same article, "[She] was expected to face a Superior Court Judge on Monday to be told formally of the murder charges that were filed against her a day earlier.

[Her lawyer] said she will plead not guilty.

He said a more appropriate charge would be reckless manslaughter.


I doubt the murder conviction will stick but, with the pre-meditation to cause greivous harm, 'reckless manslaughter' would b too light.

And, OMG, did you see the picture of this cow? (gagging sounds)

I'm reminded of a statment attributed to Sir Winston Churchill. One evening at a social function, when he was a bit in his cups, an unpleasant and disapproving British society matron said to him "Sir, if you were my husband, I would put poison in your tea!"

To which he replied, "Madame, if you were my wife, I would drink it."

"Power & Control," the Feminist Mantra (Score:0)

Contrary to the drivel that the domestic violence industry regularly spews, power and control, as this article proves yet again, is very often a female weapon used against men.

Daphne Patai in her book Heterophobia talks about how the psycho, radical feminist movement that drives the women's studies programs often use "Fruedian Projection" in their accusations of men. In other words these sick puppies who are obsessed with power and control see that as an obsession of the entire male sex, yet it is radical feminists and some other women (and men) who are the ones who ruthlessly strive for and ruthless weild power and control like the true tyrants they are.

Power and control is something that most humans strive for to some degree to have a sense of stability and well being in their lives, but it is radical feminists, women's studies programs and sick domestic violence batterers like the woman in this story (as well as some men)that abuse power and control to hurt other people.

This can't be right - violence is only perpetrated by men on women. It must have been self-defense. She was probably having a really bad episode of PMS. Or Pre-PMS. Or Post-PMS. Or menopause. Or she was on antipsychotic medication. Or she had a bad childhood (one in which she was abused by men). Or it's his fault.

Puhleeeze...any guesses how long it takes before this becomes a Lifetime Movie of the Week?

Man-hating Hollywood is not beyond making this into another motion picture, showing her in a in an understanding (sympathetic) light, then giving the actress an academy award for her courage in standing up to the evil partriarchal male system that is undoubtably responsible for this.

If I were her attorney I would definitely plead battered woman syndrome, after all she needed (wanted) the guy's money, and as a female living in a patrairchal soceity she's a victim and should be empowered. Have any feminist organizations taken up her cause yet ("I am woeman hear me roar")?

In a sane reality this woman should get the death penalty!
