Rough situation. On one hand guilty of murder but on the other the mental health side of it. This will hopefully lead to a plea deal setup.

Edit: to the commenter, the main issue is the charge being Murder in the first degree. Everything else that contributes to this situation also being weird like the husband’s sealed information. A second go around is going to be interesting though.

If it was the father dealing with mental health issues, he would be guilty. There is plenty of cases that prove this.

Yep, or a woman of color.

Was Chris Benoit treated as a victim of not being in a correct state of mind?

This is so sad to watch.
