Message: <blockquote data-quote="Janx" data-source="post: 6213112" data-attributes="member: 8835">I'm not wholly sure of what cold blood means in legal terms.  As danny did point out, she might plea to temporary insanity.A battered woman who is putting a gun barrel in her mouth and having second thoughts, then walking in and plugging her bastard husband is probably got a lot of excited, fear, anger and crazy going on at that moment.Cold blooded murder to me implies waking up, brushing your teeth, making breakfast, shooting your husband, taking the kids to school, making the beds, tending the garden.  it tends to be calculated and with no remorse or concern about what just happened.As it turns out in most cases, a sex offender's wife has little to do with preventing them from doing their deed.  Especially under an abusive husband who will get his way or beat her.  So the daughter was at the same risk of being molested whether the wife lived or not.The only key variable is that the husband (to the wife's knowledge) hadn't done so yet, and the probability that he would eventually do so.  By being into Kiddie Porn, he is already a sex offender and if convicted would have had to register.  So the line was crossed for him about 50 websites ago.Technically, she should have called that cops, as that should have resolved the situation.  I don't think she employed the best means for the end, but given the context, I don't have a huge problem with her solution either.</blockquote>
