Cynicallous

A light, airy, effervescent, blog of grave consequence. (NOT!) Dedicated to those of us who must respond to negative stimuli by Chernobyling (entombing in concrete) our innermost thoughts.

Guilty.

Well. The jury was finally allowed to deliberate for more than six minutes without losing one of its members and it cam back with two separate guilty verdicts.

First Degree Murder for killing his wife
Second Degree Murder for killing his unborn son.

The difference between the verdicts is intent. First degree says he intended to kill his wife. Second degree says that, although his actions led to the death of his unborn son, he had not intended to kill him.

How frigged up is that on how many different levels? Ya gotta figure that if he intended to kill his wife, he wasn't really expecting her to deliver the baby smiling afterwards. And second, Who actually decided that you could be charged with killing a foetus anyway? Last I heard, abortion was legal. A constitutional right, even.
