polksalet Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 So a persons life is worth six years? Our criminal justice system is awesome. The Mcnair thing made me think of her. What only occurred to me tonight is that she lives/lived in Nashville as well. I'm not saying she killed Mcnair, I'm just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 For a split second there I thought this thread would be vastly different after reading the title...! Having said that...6 years for murder? Geez.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 So a persons life is worth six years? Our criminal justice system is awesome. It's a damned good thing she wasn't caught selling pot. Then she'd serve some real jail time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 This is beyond ridiculous. Anyone recall what the actual sentence was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 This is beyond ridiculous. Anyone recall what the actual sentence was? 8 years maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 8 years maximum. Being released after six isn't so ridiculous then, it's perfectly normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geez.... not Murder, Voluntary Manslaughter. Big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 not Murder, Voluntary Manslaughter. Big difference. It's still killing someone with a gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mucca Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 It's still killing someone with a gun. True, but if I remember correctly, there was quite a bit of evidence that he beat the crap out of her quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mucca Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I thought she shot him in the doorway of his house as he was going inside... Yeah I think so, if she would of waited until her next beating, I think she would of even received less time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westvirginia Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yeah I think so, if she would of waited until her next beating, I think she would of even received less time. If she shot him WHILE beating her, you'd be hard pressed to find any jury to convict her, IMO. And wasn't she pregnant, or am I thinking of that WR who killed his pregnant wife and stuffed her in his trunk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I read about this, the more I'm convinced six years was more than enough. Having said that, she should have just left while he was away.

The more I read about this, the more I'm convinced six years was more than enough. Having said that, she should have just left while he was away. I think it was Carruth I was thinking of. If there was ample evidence he beat her over an extended period I think six years was too much. I don't know if I'd have convicted her if I was on that jury.
