I guess you would just let some guy rape your wife and drive off, kidnapping her and probably killing her....nice.
I'm not sure I would go so far as to say they both should be charged, but a crime of passion is a crime of passion. If they did charge/convict the husband, I would hope they would give him the most lenient punishment every imaginable for any action that resulted in the taking of a life. The wife deserves REALLY DESERVES to be punished as strictly as possible for her actions.
Realize that just because an action is justifiable or just amazingly agreeable doesn't mean it does not have bad consequences. I'd have shot the Fvcker too.
Did you read the story? The woman screamed rape. He didn't shoot the guy because he was banging his wife consensually behind his back. He shot the guy because his wife claimed he was trying to abduct and rape her.
Yes I did, and like I said, if I believed someone was raping my wife, I'd shoot them given the opportunity.
But the calm me right now knows that if I shot someone there will be consequences. In this case the guy gets off (situation well... worked to his advantage) but there's still three kids somewhere who while they had a scumbag (well, possibly who knows if he knew the chick was married) for a dad, they still had a dad and now they don't. It could just as well have been having public opinion on his side as he does know and still find himself in court.
I'm not saying crime of passion in that he was outraged because his wife was cheating on him, but a crime of passion in that in a moment of rage and attempt to defend his wife and given the opportunity in the moment he acted out.
