Not that I deserved to be killed. But that it would not have been all one-sided.
It does if you want your wife to get away with murder. I believe our biggest problem in society is a lack of accountability.
We aren't promised justice in this life. Events happen, good and bad, and we are judged individually in our responses. The OP has a valid question
So I, one man, am going to fix our accountability problem by rooting for my wife to get caught and imprisoned when so many far worse people are being deliberately let go because of political convenience?

4. The Life Review of Howard Storm
Next, they wanted to talk about my life. To my surprise my life played out before me, maybe six or eight feet in front of me, from beginning to end.
The life review was very much in their control, and they showed me my life, but not from my point of view. I saw me in my life and this whole thing was a lesson, even though I didn’t know it at the time. They were trying to teach me something, but I didn’t know it was a teaching experience, because I didn’t know that I would be coming back. We just watched my life from beginning to the end. Some things they slowed down on, and zoomed in on and other things they went right through.
My life was shown in a way that I had never thought of before. All of the things that I had worked to achieve, the recognition that I had worked for, in elementary school, in high school, in college, and in my career, they meant nothing in this setting.
I could feel their feelings of sorrow and suffering, or joy, as my life’s review unfolded. They didn’t say that something was bad or good, but I could feel it. And I could sense all those things they were indifferent to. They didn’t, for example, look down on my high school shot-put record. They just didn’t feel anything towards it, nor towards other things which I had taken so much pride in.
What they responded to was how I had interacted with other people. That was the long and short of it. Unfortunately, most of my interactions with other people didn’t measure up with how I should have interacted, which was in a loving way. Whenever I did react during my life in a loving way they rejoiced.
Most of the time I found that my interactions with other people had been manipulative. During my professional career, for example, I saw myself sitting in my office, playing the college professor, while a student came to me with a personal problem. I sat there looking compassionate, and patient, and loving, while inside I was bored to death. I would check my watch under my desk as I anxiously waited for the student to finish.
I got to go through all those kinds of experiences in the company of these magnificent beings.

Is that still called "murder"?
Egg Zach Lee.
Go Cha.
By any chance is there an underlying issue here...such as prison reform? Another possibility: For you, life has no intrinsic or sacred value? If you are in favor of your wife getting away with murder, then it follows you are in favor of others getting away with murder.
Everyone of us is sitting here thinking, "Don't ask him! Don't ask him!" but you swallowed it hook, line, and sinker!
No. You can only control what you control. If everyone became accountable overnight the world would change overnight. What you are doing with your hypothetical situation is encouraging accountability. So I would hope the Misses would get caught and judged. Hopefully the judge would show some mercy and justice.
No, this thread has nothing to do with prison reform. I was not waiting for an opening to talk about it. If I did want to talk about prison reform, I would have started a thread on that.
Nope. I do believe that life has sacred and intrinsic value and I am not at all in favor of people getting away with murder. Just my own wife and other family members.
But life isn't fair, so "justice" is an illusion. I would wish for society to make the sacrifice of one more murderer who gets away with it.
Not exactly. Perfect justice is an illusion in a fallen world. But yes, life is unfair and one of the things that is unfair is when lack of justice occurs. So one should expect to have to make sacrifices.
Ok, you have free will to do so. I prefer accountability.
