"Justice" System In This Country

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

if those are all of their kids, im pretty sure that the judge and jury had some sympathy for the woman and her children and a not guilty decision had something to do with not sending the woman to jail due to the children. i mean 5 young kids and the dad gets killed then the mother goes to jail for life?

It's nothing to do with that, women who kill their husbands/boyfriends get away with it a lot, it's disturbing.

How often is "a lot"?

Well it only takes 1 guilty woman getting off with it for it to be considered "a lot" in my eyes and I've read way too many cases where they do get off with it or get reduced sentences/lower charges despite it being premeditated murder based on laws designed purely for women and women only.

So once then. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yeah my definition of a lot in regards to guilty women being found innocent of killing their spouse is once, though I can cite several cases with a quick google search right now if you'd like me to? There's 100s of cases out there, don't let me holding the justice system to high standards stop you from researching it yourself.

How many cases? Better yet, how many cases are prosecuted, how many use "battered spouse" as a defense and how often is it successful?

American justice system sucks, way too many non violent crime offenders, especially for drugs. Meanwhile white collar criminals who steal millions/billions and fcuk up our economy don't do any time

They usually do time if there is evidence that a crime was committed. Not all wrongdoing is criminal.

I remember there was a piece doing the rounds online for a while that juxtaposed a guy who stole ten dollars or something and a guy who embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars saying how unfair it was that the ten dollar thief got longer in jail and pointing out that he was poor and black while the other guy was a banker. Problem was the ten dollars was stolen in an armed bank robbery.

Violent crimes should face stiffer penalties. Violent criminals are a bigger danger to society for one thing. Take a nonviolent criminal who embezzles a million dollars: How likely is he to do it again once he gets caught?

You can kill a person in Scotland in cold blood and serve 8 years, you might not have the best system in the world but its better than ours.

In sweden you can beat an 78 year old lady to death over a parking lot dispute and get 22 months and get out after serving 2/3 of the time...
