Hagbard Celine said:But battered wife syndrome comes from being battered. So killing the guy would still be in self defense and therefore justified.
The problem with battered wife syndrome is that it's hard to prove unless there has been documentation in photos and police reports. That's a good lesson to keep in mind ladies. Don't put up with any physical abuse ever. Document it and file a police report and hold it over the c*cksucker's head for the rest of his life if you have to. There are enough gorillas living in the zoos, we don't have to put up with them living among us.
And for god's sake, don't live with an abusive sh*thead. Move out, get a divorce and a restraining order.
you dont believe you can be mentally battered? say as in mental abuse? im sure Archangel has seen his share of mentally battered women... well im going to say spouses not just women, but it is typically women.
