You can't take justice into your own hands, but what if he didn't? Would his sister be the one that was murdered?

I grew up with the family and remember the tragedy well. I'm glad he'll finally be released - though it has been a long time coming. Hopefully they both will live many more happy years.

Any type of domestic violence should not be tolerated nor accepted by society. Those who exterminate the villains should not be held to any jail time. In fact, there should be parades held in their honor for doing away with the obsessive, control types that ruin our society.

Hey these 2 murdered someone. Granted he was a bad dude, but still 2 wrongs don't make a right. And why should murderers live many more happy years? Duh?

To PoconoWeeze"...
You have been up in those mountains to long..Google the "murders,"..read the story..try to digest the "FACTS"...then decide if these 2 "murderers" belong in jail (both in their 70s now..By the way,..."DUH," says a lot about the way you view the world.

The world was a different place back then and women were getting routinely abused with little or no recourse. I applaud this decision. Enjoy the rest of your life

Why didn't the brother just help his sister get out of the house instead of killing her husband. I'm as against domestic abuse as the next person, but there were options. I've got no sympathy for how many years they spent behind bars.

If the law isnt going t help battered women, people should not be persecuted for taking the law into their own hands if it will help them live. Time after time we hear about woman who are murdered by the hands of their husnads and time after time there is a lengthy report at the police station of abusde but still the law cant help her. he should have been freed many years before now.

Daily Horoscope for December 10

Pisces

You should have a lucky break today when fate steps in and takes a hand. For instance, a situation may seem to be heading for disaster when you're suddenly bailed out in ways you would never have imagined. However, this doesn't mean you can take foolish risks in the hope that things will work out all right because there's no guaranteeing that they'll do so automatically.
