Story here. Excerpt:

'HONG KONG — An American woman lost an appeal Monday of her conviction in a Hong Kong court for the beating death of her husband in a sensational case widely known as the "milkshake murder" trial.
...
The 44-year-old housewife from Minnesota was convicted in 2005 of giving her husband a milkshake laced with sedatives in 2003 and then fatally bashing the wealthy banker on the head with a metal ornament.

Kissel said she was defending herself from an abusive husband and appealed the conviction and her life sentence in prison. But prosecutors argued Kissel was a cold-blooded wife who planned the attack in the couple's luxury apartment.'

guess Hong Kong hasn't heard of feminist justice

and presumed innocence of any woman that claims abuse.

maybe Justice still survives in a westernized country.

sedatives and then WHACKO on the head.

that's original. all these new ways for women to kill.

she should have just waited until they came home for Christmas

and claimed rape/abuse. by the time he got free of the law, her and her

lover would be well in charge of his estate.

this judgement won't stand. somebody call n.o.w.

probably got taxpayer lawyers standing by on speed dial

for just this sort of emergency.
