Zone1 Hypothetical: If Your Spouse Murdered you, Would you want Him or Her to get Away with it?

[Seymour Flops]

Obviously, you won't know it if it happens, unless you believe in an afterlife in which you monitor the goings on of the living.

But knowing that it is highly unlikely that you would be killed by your spouse, if you had a chance to make the decision right now, for a one in a billion event, what would that decision be? They they get caught and go to prison, or that they get off scott free, or some other outcome?

Me, I would absolutely want Mrs. Flops to get away with it without being suspected, collect the insurance and the "inheritance" (mainly community property anyway) and go on with life. She'll be well fixed financially, no matter how I go, so more power to her.

We've had 37 great years together, so why would I hold one bad action against her? I would assume if she ever does it, I will have screwed up and given her a reason. But even if she was just secretly tired of me and decided a murder was less messy than a divorce, nothing would be gained by her spending the rest of her life in the slammer.

 

[LibertyWeeps]

I fully believe in revenge.

Lets say there ARE such things as ghosts. I would be one. Literally just to haunt my killer for the rest of their lives.
They'd never get any sleep, never be able to escape it.

 

[petro]

Nope.
Life in jail for the She Devil that obviously had me fooled.
But I have no money to leave, so I am safe.


I think.

I wouldn’t want anything anymore inasmuch as I’d be dead.

 

[Darkwind]

Look. It isn't that difficult.

If someone is trying to kill you? You try to kill them right back. Death has nothing to do with it.

Would you want her to get away with murdering someone else too?

Justice in this life and the next. G-d demands it.

Utah has the Slayer Law
Your wife wouldn't collect a dime

 

[Seymour Flops]

Would you want her to get away with murdering someone else too?

Oh Hell yes, are you kidding?

That's not even a serious question to me.

If Veronica Flops ever kills someone, she would have a damn good reason.

Now, if it were an actual murder spree, I'd want her to get caught, to stop the killings. But I'd also want her to get off on some bullshit insanity defense and go to a secure psychiatric facility with counselors in cardigans. Then be "cured" and released.

 

[Seymour Flops]

To me this is the same question as "if you ever killed someone, would you want yourself to get away with it?"

 

[BreezeWood]

We've had 37 great years together ...

motive is the determining factor - is it a reciprocal policy ... how the criminal always leaves a clue.

 

[fncceo]

But knowing that it is highly unlikely that you would be killed by your spouse

You've OBVIOUSLY never met my wife.

 

[fncceo]

"if you ever killed someone, would you want yourself to get away with it?"

So far, so good ...

you must behold some odd religious perspective, by opening up this thread.

Punishment does not serve the "satisfaction" or "acknowledgement" of a victims suffering (only the severeness of the punishment) - but is meant for the purpose of deterrence. Thus any murder or "suspicious" death is investigated upon.

You just broke the Internet. Congratulations.

Yes.

And she would likely get away with it if she flees justice.

Fry her.

Unless she had a good reason to "off" you?

 

[GLASNOST]

I don’t know what the rule is for killing. I am a Vietnam veteran. We were the bad guys so if I had been captured (I wasn’t) I would have forgiven them for killing me but I’d never forgive them for torturing me.
