He divorced her and then remarried her. How stupid
If he was abused/mentally damaged I hope he gets off on manslaughter or something lesser and gets to get mental help instead of thrown into an American prison for years.

The question you have to ask is, how does stuff like this come about? We know that his wife left him. At this traumatic point, [i]he formed a bunch of beliefs[/i] about various things, mostly involving getting his wife back. He set out to prove/disprove them. [i]He happens to get back with his wife.[/i] [b]This validated his belief[/b] about the things he was thinking about previously, despite how unrealistic or deluded they may actually be. He even wrote and published books about his beliefs, because they meant that much to him and he [i]honestly believed them to be true[/i]. 'Communication' 'Lies of society' 'Selfishness' 'Ghosts' - all validated, in his mind. Unfortunately, his understanding of these things is superficialities at best, he writes about 'selfishness' but is still so obviously attached to his wife and their marriage (selfish) that he misses how it applies to his own life. Months pass, the unresolved issues flare up again. [b]It tears apart his newly established (and published) firm beliefs into shreds[/B], because now they're unvalidated. He can't handle having his previously validated beliefs questioned. He kills her. Now he's most likely in an odd state of psychological limbo. [I]He doesn't really know what to believe now, and he'll either cling to his beliefs harder, or let go of them.[/I] This is just an example of how resolutely held beliefs and ideas are fragile, yet volatile if an illusion of stability/reality is introduced, and then questioned.
[QUOTE=Pandamobile;41770230]Man... it's not often I see someone in the news with the same name as me, but when I do, it always seems to be a murderer...[/QUOTE] We all know you're next up for that dubious honor.
[quote]She was cheating on him, stealing his money, and burning his kid (not hers) with cigarette butts. He couldn't report any of it because she threatened to report him for raping her underage cousin (who was in cahoots with her) if he did. He wrote a manifesto on Digg explaining that he was genuinely scared for his life and thought he was going insane. He'd been contemplating killing her for a long time to avoid doing any serious damage to people he still actually loved.[/quote] i forget where i got this from but this is how i explained it to my buddies yesterday

[QUOTE=U.S.S.R;41777001]Psychological aid and release.[/QUOTE] lmao release? [editline]9th August 2013[/editline] he took away someone's LIFE
[QUOTE=Aspen;41777353]lmao release? [editline]9th August 2013[/editline] he took away someone's LIFE[/QUOTE] Ok let's just keep him locked up in a cell forever. Actually nah, I think we should rehabilitate people. Like, you know, what the punishment system is meant to do? [editline]9th August 2013[/editline] Actually fuck it let's just throw them in front of a firing line!
[QUOTE=U.S.S.R;41777001]Psychological aid and release.[/QUOTE] *release under extremely safe and empirically successful conditions with constant checkups and monitoring on his social interactions afterwards for anyone to say that this guy is sane, or (for some of the other people in this thread) justify the murder of his wife, you'd have to be pretty messed up yourself.
Murdering someone in an unstable period of your life does not mean you should be jailed for life or executed, the government shouldn't be asserting that they own your life in its entirety. In that one thread about the outing of the high up professor who was rehabilitated after killing his family or something along those lines FP was all for him, but now we're against rehabilitation?
[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;41772865]He divorced her and then remarried her. How stupid[/QUOTE] The mentality of people now-a-days.
[QUOTE=Aspen;41777353]lmao release? [editline]9th August 2013[/editline] he took away someone's LIFE[/QUOTE] aspen ladies and gentlemen with the predictable over the top "lmao" prefaced double-posted stupid comment. yeah, release. if someone is mentally unstable (or not, doesnt matter) you give them treatment. if they're ready to re-enter society they do. thats how rehabilitation works.
I support this guy because either one: he has mental problems which eventually lead to the death of his wife, or two, his wife abused and screwed him into doing what he did and he isn't to blame for it. Life has an arbitrary and subjective value, there isn't much point in using that arbitrary and subjective value to ruin this guy's life even more. If it was true that she was actually abusive, then it was her own fault for driving him over the edge.

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;41767039]No, you are right. men can be abused just as easily as women can. but i belive the problem here though is that after killing his wife, he then grabbed a camrea, took a photo of his bloody murdered wife and has posted it to facebook.[/QUOTE] In terms of his sentencing, I don't see how that makes a difference. I doubt he did it because he is some cold hard murderer. Probably did it because he was a little upset after he killed his wife. If you love someone, but had to kill them in (as he claims) self defense, wouldn't you be a upset too? [QUOTE=Keychain;41767071]I'm usually not phased by gore/death images, but that one just sends chills down my spine.[/QUOTE] That's barely even gore, all you see is a teensy bit of blood.

At least he didn't use a sad emoticon.

Someone makes a mistake, serious or not, they can never, ever be anything less than the scum of the earth? see, this is what makes it impossible for convicts who are really trying to get back into normal life, truly sorry for their actions to actually get back into life. This mentality. It's terrible, counter productive, and childish. Express your opinion away. I'm expressing mine.

This man was abused B. This man is self evidently unstable C. Rehabilitation can work And it's not like he killed some random person, from what we know so far she was abusing him for YEARS.

I mean, we hardly have any understanding of the situation and you're already saying he's past redemption. Yeah, it's a pretty nasty situation and yes, this guy's a pretty nasty guy, but there's always a reason why someone acts the way they do. The guy could be abused and needs help. The guy could be born a messed up guy and needs help. People don't turn into monsters for no reason, and I don't think enough people try to consider the monster in the situation. I guess I'm just a guy that think that people should attempt to be helped.
The fact that he is sorry about killing a person that abused him for years means he has a part of humanity in him and just has mental issues. He could definitely be rehabilitated.
