edit: Not a lot of evidence she was abused. Making your broad dress up in bed isn't abuse, it's cheating prevention. Wanted: Grandus tower  CLICK ON GOOD 'OL STANGLEHOLD TO HELP HIM EVOLVE! *note: may not evolve TFW2005 and eBay feedback. Collection Showcase Thread! |

I'm surprised the manslaugter charge doesn't carry a longer max sentence, though. www.seatstaysup.com |

Manslaughter and murder would have different sentences, as murder is the more severe conviction.

made her watch pornography and wear "slutty" costumes for sex.
She also said he forced her to submit to sex acts that made her uncomfortable.
| That’s abuse to get killed over... I may need to re-think my trip to the adult video store.

Thing that disturbed me the most is when she said he covered the kids mouth and pinched their nose to stop them from crying. Who knows if it's all true though.  Don't look at my stuff!! Which is Here! XBox live gamertag- chaos muffin |

That is no excuse to kill someone. |
