cut it anymore.

I'd like to know if there's a record of DV between the son and the lover and that certainly would throw another light on the subject.

in the back...cowardly as well...disgusting.

That's not quite the way the article puts it in the OP

"Police also said that they believed that Hill shot Johnson because he had been “violent” and abusive with her son. But no criminal records were immediately available to back up that story."

“We don’t see this in any way being a hate crime,” Sgt. Dale Phillips noted. “We see this being a family having issues in this. All the people involved in this were either related or had been acquaintances for several years.”


And this brings up a whole other issue. There may not be a police record of Domestic Violence because DV in the LGBT community is seriously under reported and I'd venture a guess that the numbers are even lower in Alabama.

I guess we'll have to see what happens at the trial.
