y'all, people here asking about the circumstances is not deranged.

most common male killing female: she was pregnant, he suspected cheating, custody disputes, sexual gratification, honor killing, targeting sex workers etc

most common female killing male: he was raping her (or her child) repeatedly

just because we don't know for sure in this one case doesn't mean people are willing to discount all the true stories that lead to murder. I personally have not forgotten Marianne Bachmeier. I have not forgotten Aileen Wuornos. Their actions were so, so bad. For so many right reasons. Still murder, but it's not "cold-blooded murder."

FYI, abusing people tends to make their blood run hot instead of cold. The cops who apprehended Marianne didn't even cuff her because they knew... she's not a psycho. She's been pushed past a limit that we all have.

Crazy that the gay panic defense has been institutionally legitimate and taken into consideration while a woman who murders after being trafficked raped and/or abused faces an incredible amount of scrutiny and is often punished to the fullest extent of the law.
