Whilst on bail she then got pregnant as a means for acquittal, but that didn't work either and instead of 2, 3 children are now without her mother as well.... http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/oct/26/julie-harper-jailhouse-interview/

Letters from the two older children were read during the hearing. Both wrote of loving their father and of wanting their mother to have a lengthy sentence.

holy shit

Shot through the heart and you're to blame

Because you called me a bad name.

He may well have abused her. He may have been a complete prick. I won't defend him for a minute as I don't know him. What I do know is being a complete dick head doesn't mean you should die.

Every unhappy wife claims to be "abused" by her husband.

The verdict came at the second trial for Harper, who in 2014 was acquitted of first-degree murder after a weekslong trial in Vista. The jury in that trial deadlocked on the second-degree murder charge.

Not guilty of first degree murder? Deadlocked on 2nd degree murder? Unreal. There are two different legal systems in this country depending on whether you are male or female.

Misleading title. She claimed that "her husband had sexually and verbally abused her for years," and that the shot was fired accidentally as he was charging towards her - but the forensic evidence doesn't support that series of events.

She could have gathered evidence of the verbal abuse for a divorce case that would have gone in her favor if he was actually abusing her. But she's a fucking moron so now she's in jail.

After She Kills You

A relevant video for this post. johntheother also discusses the feminist book, "Battered Woman On Trial" in this video.

So much for "Uplifting News". What about the guys kids who are now without a father? Are they going to be put in a good home? What about the students at school who liked him? What about the guys family?

Such a horrible tragedy. Even if the guy was abusive, that doesn't give anyone the right to outright murder him in cold blood. Despicable.

KRosen333 · 2016-01-16T03:56:24+00:00

The USC-educated Harper said she wants to start a foundation to raise money for legal fees for domestic violence victims facing charges, and also wants to work to change laws — such as the mandatory sentencing that added 25 years to the 15 years she would serve for second-degree murder.

Without fail, every single time.

I'm surprised she isn't wearing a #Survivor shirt.

edit; then again, what kid writes like this?

The oldest child, a boy who is 12, wrote that “the suffering and pain we have endured that she has caused should be answered with justice.”

wiseprogressivethink · 2016-01-16T01:15:08+00:00

Soulless cunt.

Tarnsman4Life · 2016-01-16T20:34:35+00:00

Glad that she went away. I remember one of those TV shows maybe 10 years ago where they it covers a whole trail to sentencing. #1 subject was a woman who shot her husband in the chest with a shotgun and tried to make it look like a suicide. Of-course, she pulled the abused victim card with no real proof beyond her sayso. Next case was a man who was the worst offender in the state for failure to pay child support. The child support guy actually got more time.

Verbal abuse IS abuse... But try imagining the amount of verbal abuse husbands take everyday across the planet. The stereotype is the woman nagging the husband for 5 hours until he starts yelling and slaps her.

The slap can land you in prison, the 5 hours of nagging cannot. Not saying that's fair, but that's how it is. Doesn't matter how much he/she verbally abused you. Killing them is rarely justified.

DarkestNegro · 2016-01-16T13:14:09+00:00

She needs to be executed.

JablesRadio · 2016-01-16T15:14:12+00:00

Still sad that it took grandparents and even kids suggestions that she go away for a long time.

The Jailer

My night sweats grease his breakfast plate.

The same placard of blue fog is wheeled into position

With the same trees and headstones.

Is that all he can come up with,

The rattler of keys?

I have been drugged and raped.

Seven hours knocked out of my right mind

Into a black sack

Where I relax, foetus or cat,

Lever of his wet dreams.

Something is gone.

My sleeping capsule, my red and blue zeppelin

Drops me from a terrible altitude.

Carapace smashed,

I spread to the beaks of birds.

O little gimlets—

What holes this papery day is already full of!

He his been burning me with cigarettes,

Pretending I am a negress with pink paws.

I am myself. That is not enough.

The fever trickles and stiffens in my hair.

My ribs show. What have I eaten?

Lies and smiles.

Surely the sky is not that color,

Surely the grass should be rippling.

All day, gluing my church of burnt matchsticks,

I dream of someone else entirely.

And he, for this subversion,

Hurts me, he

With his armor of fakery,

His high cold masks of amnesia.

How did I get here?

Indeterminate criminal,

I die with variety—

Hung, starved, burned, hooked.

I imagine him

Impotent as distant thunder,

In whose shadow I have eaten my ghost ration.

I wish him dead or away.

That, it seems, is the impossibility.

That being free. What would the dark

Do without fevers to eat?

What would the light

Do without eyes to knife, what would he

Do, do, do without me?

Sylvia Plath

Somebody's failure to act in the legally-approved manner after killing their spouse is hardly evidence of the circumstances of the killing, in fact, absolutely not. What on earth was the judge waffling about?
