At least thats one Woman that didnt get away with murder. Most of them don't kill their men instantly. Just slowly over a few decades.
I hope this isn’t her example of him being the abusive bully that she claimed he was. This is just an argument.
She is a narcissistic bully. She's been grinding down on him for years, and you can just tell. All so she can make herself out to be the victim. Well, lady, it hasn't worked.
Sounds very familiar. Same thing to me back 2019. Got stabbed during an argument then she claimed she was beaten and controlled for 12 year. This woman is pathetic, most are to be honest. Never take accountability.
Abuse, gaslighting, victim then oppressor, shaming tactics, filming to make him look bad all classic female behaviour.
Aaaaawe the dog tried to comfort him 😢 He knew he was genuinely upset. Dogs don't comfort liars
Ooo arrr… i’ve got a new combine harvester… i’ll give you the key 😂😂😂
She would secretly record their arguments and both reported each other to the police numerous times during their marriage. Both of them had awful tempers and he was apparently abusive and threatening to others apart from her which caused his gun licence to be revoked – it was believed he posed a danger to the public if he retained a gun licence. So he was no angel, but neither was she.
She could have applied for a divorce and there were no records of the physical abuse she claimed he inflicted to substantiate her allegations. She was clearly hoping to use the 'battered woman' defence and a claim of C-PTSD to justify her killing him but the jury didn't believe it. The judge said: “Ian was not perfect. The evidence showed that he was obstinate, sometimes grumpy, he could shout, he was stuck in his ways and he was old-fashioned in terms of how he wanted a relationship with his wife. But he was in no way the serial domestic abuser you sought to portray him as.” He added: “The main reason you killed your husband was that you have an ungovernable temper.” Now she's going to spend 15 years in prison for it.
Take a look at the victim triangle.
As the model propounds the way out is to step out. ( Very abbreviated synopsis on my part)
Just like India and Pakistan..
Said it before I’ll say it again, all horse people are effing crazy
15 years for stabbing a man in the back until he died. I wonder how many years a man would get for doing that to his wife?
Marriage aint worth the paper its printed on you can shove marriage
She proves his point at the end “who kept me? Im on disability allowance i’m not well” EXACTLY WE KEPT YOU.
If you are watching this and it seems a similar situation you are in then leave tomorrow
Life is too short
Men go too Thailand spend your pension there In happiness
Thank me later 👋
What a lunatic she is
Is she trying to make herself look good don’t think that quite worked
So many mysogeninistic comments on here. Women murderers are far fewer than men. The fact is two women a WEEK are killed by men, mostly by those known to them
Horse made her do it.. 😅
White folk problems are real. Popcorn time 🍿
I wonder if she claimed to not beable to grip a knife and fork in her pip application claim.
Accountability gap.
poor bloke.
That poor dog , he knows 😢….
Sadly that's not a woman in fear of her life
Thats a woman who's use to getting everything she wants and when she doesn't makes her partners life a living hell
We saw her being arrested crying saying she was petrified of him again I hate to say this but all crocodile tears
To all men if you're that desperate for a woman then be careful because that's a high maintenance woman who will make your life a miserable living hell
You will end up end up either devoured broken penniless and divorced or Sadly same as that gentleman
LITERALLY
STABBED IN THE HEART ❤♥
I never ever understand if you're caught red handed instead of making yourself look stupid just hold your hands and face what you've Done
AWALT.
“You look like an angel, walk like an angel, talk like an angel. But I got wise, you're the devil in disguise”.

WTH!
So he had a lot of money left to him and her contribution is a disability allowance.
Vile woman!
Crazy😢
“She said “The ass dared me to do it”
Poor man Rip sir rest easy
