I believe she was abused but he had a horrible chose of girlfriends. I feel she just got tired of the abuse and her anger just exploded. Her stabbing her husband that many times and continuing it after she put her son to bed is just all together horrible.
I READ ALL THESE COMMENTS THAT SAY "SHE HAD EVERY CHANCE TO LEAVE". WE HAVE LOTS OF WOMEN WHO DO LEAVE ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP AND END UP DEAD FOR LEAVING... TISK TISK TO YA'LL WHO THINK ABUSE IS OK OR THINK WALKING AWAY IS EASY.
y is it that when a woman is charged w/ a gruesome crime that there iz alwayz some-1 there 2 say somthing like "she baked cookies" like ppl cant bake cookies and still have tha capabilty 2 do somthing like this
EVEN IF we bought the story of an abuse victim who suddenly lost it, when her little son came to the door and interrupted her killing his Dad, that should have been enough to snap her out of it. But she goes to get a new knife and take up where she left off. Nope. Don't buy it.
Women will play that abuse/harassment card whenever it suits their purpose...to commit murder, to fight a job dismissal, to explain away all sorts of misbehaviour. Then we hear that she went to visit her mother, supposedly covered in bruises and when the mother asked what happened, she told her, "I can't say. He'll kill me." And the mother does NOTHING??!!! I have a 24 year old daughter. If she EVER came to see me with her children and I saw bruises and she told me, "He'll kill me", then she's NOT going anywhere. There's no way I'm letting her walk out that door with my grandchildren to go back home to the abuser. Not a chance in hell. I wouldn't care how small a place I had, they'd be staying with me and I'd be on the phone to the police, to Child Protective Services and to a lawyer.
Thank God the jury and the judge didn't buy into her abuse story. It's time we clamp down on that excuse card that lets women get away with anything they want to do and to get whatever they want.
She's exactly where she deserves to be.
I hope you wouldn't let anyone else being abuse without doing anything.... I think it's easy to say you would certainly do something until you are right in it.... isnt it!
Apparently,zunitribe, you are sorely confused between the lines of justice and injustice. Perhaps you require a moral compass which you apparently lack. Furthermore, stating "big deal" over anyone's death or "murder," regardless of the excuses, reasons, motivations, intentions behind it, demonstrates further lack of a personal grasp between right thinking and wrong thinking on the subject of "wars" and the vast and wide differences between one kind of war or another. War" does exist on different levels. There exists war between states/countries, where an "agenda" of politics is always behind such wars. You, also, apparently think the word "agenda" is immoral. The political leaders who start wars, who control them can possibly be held accountable. Those who participate and offer their lives, who fight in such wars cannot be, lest an individual breach the laws and rules of engagement. That's to start. You also have a problem with the word "covert." What makes the word "covert" a dirty, filthy word in your dictionary, in my opinion, displays further lack of your understanding, thus appreciation, that anything "covert" can be conceived, exercised and used for good as a result of right, just and moral high ground. It takes guts to go there. You base this woman's realm of "justice" by comparing ALL circumstances and conditions of "wars" to her own. Bottom line, zunitribe, is this: she had every opportunity, every means of escape, every means of self determination, freedom, liberty, choice, options, you name it, to leave such circumstances (if what she said was in fact true to begin with)to protect herself. She did not. I don't care what her motivations or intentions were in staying around in such an environment. The fact remains, she chose for herself to remain in a bad situation which obviously infuriated her for a long time. So much fury, indeed, that she snapped and took matters and a life along with it at the same time. You say she's guilty, yet more compassion for her was lacking? Sorry, but in this situation where she had every single other option out, she chose to murder as a means to escape while feeling justified to take another life in the process. You can argue your case until the cows come home and the heavens expire. As for me, the means did not justified the ends, and the ends have earned justice for the means. Case closed for me.
You have never been there then, some people react differently to different situations I have been in an abusive relationships and I was scared to death of that person and the mental confusion and control the abuser has on you, you will never understand. No I do not think that he diserved what has happened to hom but the on lookers in this situation should have put themselves in it more and did their part of helping her leave. I beleive he had a hold on her and I do think she should do time but not 25 years. Jeff was a low life peice of **** and anyone who doesnt sympothize with her even just a little is iggnorant and needs to put themselves in her shoes.
I don't believe she was abused, but even if she was -- what gave her the right to lure him, tie him up and then stab him repeatedly? This woman should be locked up for the rest of her life. Would you feel safe living next to someone who committed such a gruesome murder? Would you feel safe if your brother, uncle, father, etc -- started dating her?
If the answer is no, then why put that burden on others?
She's DANGEROUS. She has proved herself to be a very violent person. Killing someone with a knife is barbaric.. It's up close and personal..only a really twisted person would be able to do that.
I fear for society once this loon is released.
Shame on Texas for allowing this to happen.
If the sex's were reversed and a man did this to a woman -- he'd be on death row right now.
I am a female Texan and I can say that without a doubt - if the roles were reversed -- the perp would be in Huntsville, Texas -counting down the days until his execution.
This mand deserved it. He kept beeting her thinking nothing would ever happen to him. She probably went about it the wrong way but.. unless your in that situation you can't judge.
So she killed him, big deal. War exists on different levels, sometimes they are sanctioned military campaigns and sometimes they are the covert actions political agenda's, which are also classified as murder. Did she break the law? absolutely. Does she deserve to lose her life over it? NO. Just the attitude of the mans father is disconcerting enough to make me hate him.

I think it's possible she was abused, but very hard to tell since Misty is such a psycho, and Susan is so obviously lying about other things--her story of what happened during the murder is obvious crap. (If only it were truly possible for a woman to disarm a huge, violent man stabbing her, a lot of innocent female murder victims would still be alive.) And her performance in court was not at all believable. HORRIBLE acting on her part. And her story of being delusional about her husband still being alive also is obviously b.s. (Is her behavior after the murder that of a scared, abused woman? Not at all.) The only person who could believe her testimony is someone whose judgment is impaired by a personal history of domestic violence, like some of the comment posters here. If she had said, I was abused and I couldn't take it any more and I couldn't see any way out but to murder my husband--and if her testimony didn't seem fake--then I would give her a break if I were on the jury. But the story she concocted instead is an obvious lie, and her testimony was obviously fake, and her behavior after the murder was more like a typical murderer than an abused wife (bury the body, clear out the bank account, think up a story you think will get you off the hook...). So I think she's where she belongs.
To judge why this murdered occurred and who is to be blamed, In my view, the first thing comes in my mind is depression.if the cause of depression is a person and that person keeps torturing one constantly, everyday, that depression turns into anger and as everyone knows anger is a violent human characteristics. I want to face this as a person and as a victim, sometimes people get into my nerve so much just because i know i'm constantly being bullied or victim, i get angry and my mind fills up with a murdering plan. But on the other hand, I know that the result will be one another deep depression for my whole life. so, i try to stay away from those people rather than taking revenge. Susan went through depression like many of us. she was constantly beaten up by her husband and her heart started filled up with anger towards him resulting a murder plan. she didn't think of the consequences in early stage like i do because not every human have a same thinking potential, sometimes anger takes over one's thinking potential. Now, who is to be blamed in this murder case? ofcourse DEPRESSION and ANGER. who is to be punished? Definitely, susan. although i support her that she was driven by her husband's abusive behavior, i believe she could have made another choice as like staying away from him as soon as she realized she can't stand him anymore. Susan definitely don't deserve life sentence as the lawyer against her was claiming a need. but the final sentence of 20 years was appropriate as a punishment.
I feel sorry for Susan. I was a battered woman when I was younger and I remember how no one ever believed that what I said happened, happened. The batterer went to jail, but his family didn't believe everything that he was accused of. I worked hard at making sure no one saw the brusies or knew why I was in pain, but I remember one of his friends seeing my jaw swollen on Thanksgiving. I remember seeing his face when he noticed and looked away. I finally got away from him for good eventually. Knowing about battered woman's syndrome, I can understand how Susan could snap and do what she did.
it?s very clear that there was abuse. but why did she never call the police to have him arrested and then file for divorce and therefore custody of the kids? it?s also very clear shes lying about the actual killing because the evedince shows that she tied him to the bed. she planned the murder and that is cold.
blah blah blah. File your police report, get your restraining order, create a paper trail with the police so when this happends they can see you reported the abuse. No you told your sister. Was she law enforcement? No. And you nursestaci you deserved what you got for staying and hiding your brusies and not taking control. db tfoh
For some battered women, calling for help, take legal action... can be a very hard decision to make when there are children involved. My friend called 911 after being choked and broke free from the abusing lawyer ex-husband. But before police arrived, the abuser already threathened her that he would lose his job and children's life would be affected....
Battered wives are not women without dignities, and although their abusers take some of their self-esteem away during the abuse, lots of people still do not want others to know that they are abused by their spouses, being shy and shamed in the relationships. Some choose to run away from the abusers, some lucky running successfully, some not.
People being abused should smart up, knowing the rights and take early legal action for justice, before it is too late....
