Was Susan Wright Pushed To The Edge When She Killed Her Husband?

When you get to a certain point in a relationship of abuse you are inside the box. You cannot see how to get out rationally. You are in a fight or flight mode. If you run it is irrational and if you choose to fight it is will also be and irrational fight. One could be living in a state of shook. Whatever is done in this type of situation will be unreal to the person themselves once they are out from under the abuse long enough.

When you kill a person''s spirit you might get a monster. But, spirit''s can come back to life again. She did something wrong but, the spirit of drugs can kill also. When you bring this type of spirit into a home you destroy the home and the people in it.

Iwould also like to make a cooment about those who think getting a PPO makes a difference. You can get a PPO if the Judge feels it is deemed necessary and it is not easy to obtain a PPO against someone. Second of all even if you have a PPO and you report situations and violations made by the person the PPO is against usually the police tell you that well we will keep track of their violations but until he really breaks the law like killing you we really can''t do anything but if you do end up dead well then we have proof of who did it. This is what I was told when I had a PPO against my abusive ex and another person who syaled me because I wouldn''t go out with him. In the mean time you live in sheer hell and fear for your life and childs life everyday knowing that no one will help you not even the police.

The tox screen said he had cocaine in his system at the time of the murder. It stays in your system for about a week. How could Susan leave Jeff buried 3 feet away from the house so her children could smell him, perhaps even see him buried. You write down what happend step by step of the evidence that was proven and you get one goulish, sadistic women who planned each step of how she would murder Jeff. It makes my skin crawl. Why does this 48hrs continue to run this particular show all the time? The same with the show Snapped. The children are 10 & 6. Do they really need to see this? They are very sheltered purposefully by Jeff''s brother & wife.

Susan is guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.... there should be no question that her husband was tied to the bed and was stabbed the 193 times. There are no injuries to the sides, or the back. This is because he was always facing her during the attack. It doesn''t matter if she heard her little boy disturb her during the attack. Give me a break. And then she also carefully sliced his ***.... hmmmmmm... this obviously took time to do, and not in a self-defensive mode. Sorry, Susan, but I hate to tell you that you got off easy... you should be getting life in prison without parole for killing an innocent human being... you''re ***-crime into luring your husband is absolutely appalling and inexcusable..... have fun in prison for the rest of your life....

I do not know the prosecuter personally. Jeff deserved to be represented. But watch in the future, when the prosecutor comes up against a case where the opposing side''s defendent was on cocaine. She will argue that the defendent was on cocaine at the time of the crime. Jeff was on an illegal substance at the time of his death.

Cvalentini: Myself and my sister were both abused both physically and mentally as children. Our father did horrible things to us. I do not condone abuse of any type to anyone, stranger, family member, pets, girlfriend, anyone. People that abuse are sick mentally. I felt sorry for my father, and still do, while at the same time hated him. Yet, never, not once in my life, could I have ever imagined hurting anyone in any way, much less stabbing him 193 times. I know not everyones situation is the same, but my experience has made me a stronger person. I show people nothing but love and compassion, but only those who deserve it. And someone who stabs another one of God''s creations 193 times, deserves nothing of the sort.

I was surprised that her lawyer attempted to have her aquitted. The evidence was pretty solid, and the crime too vicious. It certainly didn''t reflect self-defense. She may have fared better with an insanity plea. Either way she''d be out of the populace which is where she needs to be. Even though I believe the correct action was taken, I cannot believe the antics of that female prosecuter. What a ***. It further amazes me that a presiding judge would allow such unprofessional, sensationalistic behavior in a courtroom. Her drama is right out of the Johnnie Cochran playbook. She skewed the jury with her sensationalism by bringing a bed into the coutroom, and then surmissing what she believed happened. What a crock. Then she comes back at the end of it all and tells 48 hrs that she doesn''t want to be perceived as a ***. Well, I don''t think she needs to worry about it any. I have no doubt she would convict innocent people to further herself.

Susan Wright and her mother both stated she grew up watching "Ozzie and Harriet" as an explanation on her thoughts that she had to keep a perfect house, life, etc. "Ozzie and Harriet" ran from 1952 - 1966, if she was 27 whe she committed this crime she was not even born until 1975.
I believe she was abused and frightened in her marriage. I also beleive that she planned the murder and tied him to the bed before she stabbed him. If only she had called a domestic abuse hotline and got herself out of this before she convinced herself murder was the only way out.

[dana771]

I believe what happened to Jeff is a tragedy. I believe Susan should of gotten help before this point, but she did not. I believe that the problem in this case, is that people are not educated in cocaine addiction or abuse. Abuse is very shameful for some people. Cocaine is a shameful addiction for many. So you have a family that looks good on the outside, but both refused to get help. They both needed help, but did not do so. I do not believe Jeff deserved to die that way, no one does. I also believe Susan did not deserve to be abused. The whole situation is a tragedy, that hopefully we all can learn from.

To cvalentini a question on your comment:

"you must be an abuser yourself to feel the way you feel. Along with the rest of you males that are getting on here leaving comments like dallaskurt"

It doesnt strike your sensibilities that the police department DV unit stated on National TV that "Susan Wright seemed like every other women that comes in for an order of protection". and the prosecuter proved that she was in her words " card-carrying, obvious, no doubt about it, caught red-handed, confirmed, documented liar.%u201D
That doesnt strike even a particle of reasonable doubt in you that Susan is LYING.

Or is it that every man according to you is an abuser in his past, currently, or will be in the future.

You dont see the indoctrinated cultural bias in your statement about all males?

[pamelann1]

I am a very close friend of the Wright family and had known Jeff for nearly 10 years. He was not an abuser of women. He loved the women in his life from his mother, sister in law and yes even Susan Wright. She only filed a complaint about abuse when her bruises from her crime became very noticeable and when Jeff WAS DEAD.. Did you understand the part when her defense attorney first checked her into a psychward before notifying the DA? Finally, Kelly Seigler was the ONLY advocate for Jeff Wright and his family. She did her job with vigor as well as comfort the remaining family members during the slow process of the court system. She is sick to have had her two children in the home while she stabbed Jeff to death! Can you imagine being a friend or family member listening to her story about being in a fog for one week? We are still angry to hear her "Susan%u2019s story". Why does CBS keep airing "Susan''s story" and not "Jeff Wright''s Story".

[cvalentini-2009]

dallaskurt, you must be an abuser yourself to feel the way you feel. Along with the rest of you males that are getting on here leaving comments like dallaskurt. Dallaskurt, how would you feel if that was your sister or mother or child that he was abusing?

[cvalentini-2009]

wild1ks, did you say that you live in the house now? Is it wierd living there? Just curious. I could only imagine why there is so much repair. He covered up alot I''m sure.

I am appalled that there are so many people in this country that have refused to examine the evidence in this case. Ms. Wright never once reported the so called abuse that she claims to have endured during her marriage, and she never once went to any hospital with injuries sustained from this alleged abuse. Wright tied her husband up, and stabbed him 193 times. She stopped long enough to return their child to bed and retrieve a new from the kitchen and continued stabbing him. Wright further claimed to be a foggish state and unable to function, yet she was able to bury her husband, replace carpet, paint walls, purchase a new mattress, and care for her children. As an expert, a person suffering from a true psychotic state would not be able to complete these types of tasks. In my opinion the jury made the correct choice to find Ms. Wright guilty of murder. However it is a shame that she only only received 25 years instead of life Mr. Wright''s family are the true victims in this case.

Over and over again in this news piece we hear how Jeff abused his wife, raped his wife, repeatedly. On what basis does this man deserve this constant vilification? On his wife%u2019s word? We know what his wife%u2019s word is worth according to the prosecutor. Or maybe the sister, who besmirched the good name of her father, even though her mother vehemently denies he, is an abuser, and there isn%u2019t a shred of evidence to substantiate this accusation denigrating the father. Or the one neighbor who conveniently remembers seeing the same bruises on Susan as the sister. I wonder if the sister and the neighbor ever talked with each other or together with Mr. Davis, for that matter.
So we are to believe Mr. Right was an abuser of his wife and children, so says his wife, the topless dancer turned stay at home mother. Maybe being a stay at home mom and maintaining a home was more difficult than dancing with your clothes off and she was angry at Jeff for this and saw no way out of the life she came to hate.
Susan stabbed her husband 193 times. And Davis believes that Jeff just deserved killing. Even though Susan never reported any abuse to police while Jeff was alive.
Lets do a gender swap here, do you think if Jeff had stabbed Susan 193 times because she had abused him, based on his word only or that of his family and neighbors the story would of read Susan Wright, she just deserved killing and is he justified in killing her
There%u2019s a word for all of this Misandry

[radarinnj]

This was a brutal, terrifying, sadistic relationship that spanned years,%u201D says Susan%u2019s attorney, Neil Davis.
Says who! the defense attorney, he wasn%u2019t there, so says the supposed abused wife who stabbed her unsuspecting husband 193 times, so says her sister, the psychologist who supposedly saw bruises on her sister and never reported it to the authorities or call the division of youth services to protect the children from this supposed violent man, ever, she has a professional ethical responsibility to do so if she beleived there was abuse of her sister or minor children, or so says the one neighbor, this Jamie, who says she saw bruises on Susan although all the rest of the neighbors said Jeff appeared to nice guy who loved his wife.
Unfortunately Jeff isn%u2019t here to defend himself. But it wouldn%u2019t of mattered if he was. An order of protection, a restraining order was issued against him, a dead man, on the uncorroborated word of his wife. Who according to the prosecutor was as follows %u201Cthe word of a card-carrying, obvious, no doubt about it, caught red-handed, confirmed, documented liar.%u201D

But that didn%u2019t save Jeff from having an order of protection served against him even dead, I am surprised that Jeff corpse wasn%u2019t arrested for violation of that restraining order for lying buried in a hole in the home he was restrained from. So much for the fair and unbiased use of the domestic violence restraining order.

The legal system concerns me today. This is why their is the Innocense Project. The prosecutor appeared bent on winning versus complete truth. She concerns me in that she will put innocent people in prison to win her career.
