So. On the left coast. Woman is smoking weed with her boyfriend. Apparently boyfriend wanted her to take another hit off the bong. For that, she stabbed him 108 times. She is convicted in a court of law. Judge refuses to take the jury's recommendation (which they are allowed to do).
Now remember, an old 66-year-old man shot a woman. At night. On his property that is off a rural road with a long, winding driveway. He was convicted of second degree murder, which carries a possible 25 year prison term. To a 66-year old, that's life. Again, nothing illegal (other than the homicide) in this case. And I'm not arguing the results. According to NY law, this doesn't seem out of character.
Curt's response was typical for curt. Fuck this guy and throw him in jail for the rest of his life. But curt's quote is better than my synopsis. Good. I have no sympathy for this paranoid gun nut (aren't they all?). The Second Amendment is not a license to kill. I am glad the jury didn't buy his claim that he tripped over nails sticking up from the porch, lost his balance, the shotgun struck the deck which accidentally caused his gun to fire killing Gillis. If he is that unsteady on his feet, he shouldn't be holding a loaded gun.
Since that's the case, and murder is murder is murder... But I'll bet that he'll squirm out of this because it's weed. and it's "just" her boyfriend. And she "didn't have any control." But if that's true then why is it legal?
California audiologist who stabbed boyfriend 108 times in ‘cannabis-induced psychosis’ gets a slap on the wrist
The California woman who was convicted of killing her boyfriend by stabbing him 108 times during a “cannabis-induced psychosis” received a slap on the wrist Tuesday.
Bryn Spejcher, 33, was sentenced to two years’ probation and was ordered to perform 100 hours of community service after being found guilty of killing her new boyfriend, Chad O’Melia, according to the Ventura County Star.
Ventura County Superior Court Judge David Worley ruled that Spejcher “had no control over her actions” when she entered into a psychotic episode and stabbed O’Melia, 26, repeatedly in his Thousand Oaks apartment on May 28, 2018.
So what if she had been smoking weed and had a gun? Is the rage accepted then? Or if she was driving drunk and ran over someone? Or what about getting high and driving over a parade that you don't agree with?
Here's what's strange. She was out of control by the weed induced rage therefore she didn't have the ability to control her actions. YET. police arrived and she tried to commit suicide, showing remorse knowing the act was wrongful.
Can't ride two horses with one boney ass!
And "indys" opine means nothing as usual.
