And hey if a scrawny black teen can become a sidewalk-wielding human tornado in Florida, then people can trick cops into making a false arrest for reality tv.
If you mean St. Trayvon, he was hardly "scrawny".

There other possibilities. For example, they are three intelligent, disinterested people who care about real justice.She has been recorded hiring the hit man. The three jurors are either blathering idiots or else voted to acquit knowing she was guilty.
You confuse your disgusting biases with fact.Either way, they would not be voting to acquit if the genders were reversed.
What does "better man" mean to you anyway? One who thinks women are innocent victims no matter what they do (like hire hit men to murder their husbands).I'm not here to make you a better man.
It's not a prejudice. It's a fact that women often get treated with kid gloves when they murder or try to murder their husbands or boyfriends. Mary Winkler got 60 days for murdering her husband in cold blood. Nikki Redmond got acquitted for shooting her boyfriend in the back, murdering him.However you choose to justify your particular prejudices is your business.
The case does not hinge of his testimony. She is on tape hiring the hit man. The only reason you even think she might be innocent is because she is female. If a man had hired a hit man and was recorded doing so, there would be no question that he would be convicted. No matter how many ridiculous stories of "reality TV show pitches" his lawyers came up with.If you are ever on trial for a charge in which the testimony of a policeman whose professional performance will be rated as to whether he convinced you he was willing to commit a crime on your behalf, let's hope you find a sympathetic jury.

Maybe, maybe not.If they were that they would have voted to convict.
I know of no case where a man is recorded hiring a hitman and who made the defense that he was play acting and that he was entrapped. Do you have any cases like that where the man was convicted? After all, someone who is concerned with equality in the law would wish to compare apples to apples, not apples to turds.Name one case where a man hired a hit man and was recorded doing so and was not convicted.

And on and on it goes. Derec is outraged that a woman who apparently tried to hire a hitman to kill someone beat the charge. But when a black teenager is hunted down and killed by an armed vigilante and the jury lets the killer go, Derec slanders the victim. Derec's racist bullshit never takes a day off. It is good thing he is not able able to procreate.
Everybody should be outraged at that.And on and on it goes. Derec is outraged that a woman who apparently tried to hire a hitman to kill someone beat the charge.
It's "slander" and "racist" to say Trayvon wasn't scrawny? Also, why do you and Squirrel keep bringing him up almost five years later?But when a black teenager is hunted down and killed by an armed vigilante and the jury lets the killer go, Derec slanders the victim. Derec's racist bullshit never takes a day off. It is good thing he is not able able to procreate.

Hires a hitman to murder her husband, but despite video and audio evidence that has her dead to rights, she avoids conviction again.
The Latest: Retrial planned after murder-for-hire mistrial
Does anybody really think if it was a man hiring a hitman to murder his wife that 3 jurors would refuse to convict? Or that the appellate judge would overturn the original conviction?
It is reading cases of evil women like this one that I am really glad to be single.
From what I've read in other threads, this indicates she was 'overcharged'
I have not. There is still some hope, but given female privilege and attitudes of feminists like Jarhyn I am not too optimistic this woman sees justice (which would be a 20 year sentence as she originally received).Did you miss the part in the headline you quoted that said a retrial is already planned?

Bullshit.Ok, so, we know reality has biases. Usually these are liberal biases, since humans, and life in general started out doing things in shitty ways and have gotten better at doing things over time.
1. Women are capable of being abusive in their relationships, just like men.And in this case, it's a problem in nature that 'men', or more specifically humans with a lot of testosterone and/or a particular vulnerability to its effects tend towards revenge, necessary or not. It's not hard to see how a 'woman', or for that matter anyone who is lacking in the effects of testosterone could very easily find herself in a situation where a jilted lover wants to kill or maim her as revenge, and she ends up being unable to convince skeptical law enforcement that he presents enough of a danger to actually jail him for his threats. Sometimes the religion of 'law' strikes so deep that even if they believe her, they refuse to help because the written rules haven't been satisfied to do so. Sometimes the law outright gives the revenge-minded lover free reign right until the point where she is dead and buried.
So in a nutshell you advocate murder of men by women. No other way to say it. Also, I thought advocacy of illegal acts (and murder certainly is one) was against the TOU.In the face of these realities, sometimes a person will need to hire protection, but in the face of a persistent and clever psychotic revengist, more extreme measures need to be taken; it costs a lot to hire a body guard and a patient but evil person can easily outlast most people's funds to hire muscle that they otherwise couldnt manage. So they hire people to kill the fucker. And sometimes a jury of one's peers recognize the simple ethical reality of a situation at this point:
You are assuming that if a woman murders (or hires somebody to murder) her husband she is doing it because he is a "psychotic asshole" and not, like this woman, because of money or some other reason. And do you extend the same benefit of doubt to men who murder (or hire somebody to murder) their wives? Do you assume that the wife was a "psychotic asshole" and think that "he didn't do anything wrong and doesn't deserve a the consequences of conviction even of time served"?The cops were being lazy or 'lawful neutral', the woman was in danger of a psychotic asshole, and it was either her life or limb, or his life or limb, or that from her perspective it was the only option she had and that she didn't do anything wrong and doesn't deserve a the consequences of conviction even of time served.
If you extend this "right to murder" to women and only women then this is the very definition of privilege.That isn't female privilege, and is a perfectly reasonable situation where a jury would acquit someone even in full light that they did it.
This woman is anything but "innocent". There is no evidence her husband was abusive and even if he was, that does not justify murder. She could have just left him.Was it what happened here? We don't know. But I'm going to guess from the way things went down and that most people are mostly right most of the time that the accusation that this is privilege rather than defense of the innocent is spurious.
Since her victim was luckily not killed, 20 years is enough.Given your hatred of women, you won't be satisfied unless she gets the death penalty... twice
May I quote you in the Michael Slager thread?Why? The accused is innocent until proven guilty, beyond and doubt considered reasonable by the jury, under the judge's instructions.
In other words, you are basing this not on anything I wrote but on your personal antipathy toward me.Coming from anyone else, it might not be.
Obviously we should strive to compare like and like, but if you demand too many details you will never find a basis for comparison.I know of no case where a man is recorded hiring a hitman and who made the defense that he was play acting and that he was entrapped. Do you have any cases like that where the man was convicted? After all, someone who is concerned with equality in the law would wish to compare apples to apples, not apples to turds.
I doubt that is even possible. I have read an article in Psychology Today which said that women have a "double-bind" when it comes to choosing partners. Those they are attracted to they do not consider good long term relationship material and those they consider good long term relationship material they are not attracted to.In this case, "better man" would be a person who is capable of having a satisfying relationship with another person.
Give a shot at what?However, be assured, if it were in my power, I would give it a shot, if only to shut you up.
But you still advocate her possibly getting off scot-free?You over estimate your powers of extra sensory perception. I never said I thought she was innocent, or might be innocent, your attempt to read my mind, not withstanding.
I agree the chances are small. I have not 'indicted' women in general of being murderers. My point is that the society treats murderous women with kid gloves, giving them lesser punishments than they would a man in the same situation, and often let them off with no punishment at all.In any case, your concern over being murdered by a hired killer is greatly overblown, and your indictment of women in general is unwarranted.
