Man claims he Killed wife in self defence after domestic abuse

[A dot Ham]

"Wife is going to kill me if I don't stop this"

*kills wife in defense*

*panics at the fact that he just took a life*

"Omg! I killed here! What do I do! I'm going to be thrown in jail for life!!! Fuck! I gotta hide the body, maybe people will think she left me, or got kidnapped. Fuck fuck fuck!!!!!!"

I can totally see something like this happening.

And then act like it never happened? Continue your daily activities as if there isn't a CORPSE in your basement. A corpse who also happens to be your wife. That ain't normal.

As I've said before, that isn't enough. There needs to be genuine evidence that the defendant was defending himself when he killed his wife.

It certainly isn't normal. But taking a life isn't normal either. He may be traumatized and terrified.

No doubt about that. He will have a lot of explaining to do when on trial.

Well, if explaining is all he has, he's going to jail for murder. Reasonable doubt will not protect him.

Lol, true.

I'd imagine if he had PTSD from being abused that it could've triggered a violent outburst that caused him to kill her. Agreed though it's odd that he lived with her buried in the basement. Perhaps as a coping mechanism he psychologically blocked it out of his mind afterward.

Some faulty logic you got there. By that logic nothing can be defended from criticism.

Definitions evolve as the majority adopt, or use a word incorrectly.

No one refers to a fag, as a cigarette, or a difficult task. No one refers to a faggot as a bundle of sticks.

Feminism has become a word synonymous with man hating.

IF women took "equality for women" and "feminism" to mean the same thing. More women and men for that matter, would define themselves as feminist, and while the majority of women 100% believe in equality for women, very few actually identify with feminism and feminists. Why? Because it has become to mean something else entirely.

The suspect alleges that the domestic violence lasted a decade. Why didn't he leave?

Are you victim blaming?

Egaliterianism is the way!

I did a search and found many other resources for men. How sad that we have people on here acting like he had nowhere to turn! This is clearly not true!

Oh look. The guy who founded that shelter - THE ONLY SHELTER DEDICATED TO MALE ABUSE VICTIMS and himself an abuse victim for 20 years at the hands of his wife - commited suicide. Alleged reason: The constant abuse suffered since he opend his shelter from various groups and that it had to be closed down 3 years ago because funding ran out and he couldnt secure any from the government who he felt refused to acknowledge the necessity of the programm.

Flight or fight response. Kill or be killed. Is about as normal as it gets. People respond this way on a daily basis. The result being death of someone else may not happen often, but it happens.

See @Phookah.

[igualitarist]

If he killed her in self defense, he has to prove it. If he fails on it, jail him for a long long time.

We just can't assume men can't be victims of domestic violence and thus, automalically dismiss allegations like in the case OP brought up.

I should clarify, it isn't normal for the individual, where it may be normal for the masses.

Im 36 and have never taken a life. For me to do so, would not be normal for me.

Well even if it's true him hiding the body after the fact is kind of uh... gonna hurt his case pretty bad I imagine.

Yeah he should have gone with Brick Top´s advise:

<< You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.
And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig." >>

Are you victim blaming?

I'm asking a question. There are many resources available in Canada.

[Deleted]

Isn't it quite stupid to bury your dead wife in the home? After you have murdered her, everyone is gonna stomp around there.

[Kathandira]

I'm asking a question. There are many resources available in Canada.

So yes.. you are victim blaming.

It means man hating because that's the definition you and others want to give it because of your own selection bias in dealing with crazy nutters on the internet. Anyway your feelings on feminism aside your logic is still faulty since you're simply saying a bad apple spoils the bunch when you more than likely would not apply that same logic to white supremacists aligning with republicans, "bad cops" etc.

You can't say feminists shouldn't have to "reclaim the word" or whatever if you're going to be inconsistent about other topics.

No I'm not. How many times has a "victim" killed their wife, hid the body and not contacted the authorities? How many times has such a person been found innocent?

Can you believe this? Basically trying to make a mockery out of the justice system!
Let's hope the judiciary doesn't stand for this.

The fact he buried the body rather than report it when it happened is suspicious.
