1. Not self-defense

There was nothing left to defend himself from at that point. Possibly a charge less than murder considering the circumstances. Though legally, I don't know much.

That's crazy.
He may actually have a good case with that.

I don't condone murder, but temporary insanity after such a thing would probably fly.

He raged and murdered. I can understand a slightly lenient sentence but he is a murderer.

Though I really have no clue.
Don't know much about these things, but still, something like that could make someone go crazy for a bit.

7. life sentence

she already gave him a life sentence-so why not self defense? I think she proved it was a life death situation. she took his future away knowingly. he evidently had feelings for her-she proved she had none for him! if it was a male he would have been charged with a crime=it has aslready happened!

There are good drugs now that can control, even eradicate HIV. Especially if caught early. Ask Magic Johnson how deadly his HIV is. This is not to downplay what she did, which was horrendous, but doesn't justify homicide.

Obviously not self-defense, but not premeditated and maybe not even murder.

Why is it that anyone thinks they can just start having unprotected sex with anyone else to whom they're not committed, without first getting checked?

They were both dumb enough to do that and she was dumb enough to reveal the information at the worst possible fucking time.

I hope he enjoys his prison time, because if I were the judge I wouldn't reduce his sentence by even a second.

If you do end up with the monster you will not be able to prove that you contracted it through sex! Double dumb move.

Welcome to DU!


Interesting wording used in these reports. I see "apparently" I guess that's close enough to 'allegedly'.

Three women and one man are killed each day (on average) by an intimate partner.
