Stupid thing is, in prison, men who KILL their wives aren't as frowned upon as men who BEAT their wife, if that makes any sense.
Wow... I wonder what the logic is behind that one.
"I was a good husband! I never beat my wife, only time I EVER touched her was when I killed her."
I'm not really sure, I think it's that if you kill her, you can claim it was self-defense maybe. Not really sure there.
Another bit of stupidity: A guy and his wife were doing cocaine at a party. They left to go get money for more. The guy went back with some money and the people at the party didn't have any to sell. So the guy goes back home and sends his wife back to get some, figuring they would be more likely to sell to her. They said they didn't have any to sell, but would give he some from their own personal stash in return for oral sex. She said no, and went back home. The guy went back with a gun and killed them both, and believes it was a legal shoot, because he felt that witholding cocaine from a cocaine addict in order to coerce a sexual favor is synonymous with rape, and it is legal to use deadly force to prevent or stop rape. He got 99 years X 2.
The real reason to avoid prison:
I know, my desk is kind of a mess. (Kinda hard to read due to it being re-sized)
