21. Having spent over thirty years of my life living in the Cleveland

area (not any longer, thank God, you know it's bad when living in South Dakota is far preferable to living in Ohio), I'm familiar with this "judge" and this disgusting slap on the wrist for a murder doesn't surprise me at all from her. She's the kind of judge who should never be on the bench. What a miscarriage of justice for the poor fellow and his family.

8. Gee - A man's Life is only worth 3 years PROBATION

12. Wouldn't it be awesome

if we all posted a story about how funny it would be for a man to murder his wife? I'm sure we"d all laugh at that, right? Right?!

:puke:

13. Who the hell is laughing?

She gets probation for murder, what do you find humorous?

[Codeine]

14. There have already been a few comments

in this thread; smilie faces, pics of Al Bundy, "I'll avoid making that joke," etc. It's goddamned disgusting.

[Bluebear]

15. Well, address them, not me.

Thank you. :)

[Codeine]

16. I was adressing the thread, not you.

Apologies if that wasn't clear. :hi:

[Bluebear]

17. No worries :)

19. She had been drinking all day and punched her boyfriend in the face before sitting on him...

I'm sure the guys are all just lining up wanting to be the next to hook up with this winner. I pity the offspring of people like this.

And yes, amazing she got off so "light." If this drunk woman had plowed into someone with her car instead of her body, she wouldn't be getting probation.

20. The "offspring of people like this" would be suffocated instantly,

unlike the boyfriend who probably suffered a long, agonizing death.

22. Sickening.

Just three years and 100 hours of community service? For murder? Sickening.

Just imagine what would have happened if the gender roles were reversed. If a man had sat on his girlfriend killing her; I guarantee there would be a lot less people in this thread cracking jokes.

24. So she did this on purpose

and all she gets is a sentence that is tantamount to a slap on the wrist. :wtf:
