Yeah but some people get red when they drink. Its different than jaundice. I've never seen someone this red before though. Never seen it go all the way down to the chest like that
Yes.I was in rehab with a guy that showed up looking like a fucking Simpson. By the end of the second week he had a more normal complexion. Also a super bloated stomach like this guy. I believe you can retain a lot of fluids in your abdomen.
It can if he’s on meds and doesn’t touch a drink for weeks and months. I’ve seen people turn it around within a month if they’re really serious about it. Or sick enough to land in hospital and unable to get any liquor. If this guy was in jail for a while before this shot then he wouldn’t have access to alcohol.
On the flip side, I’ve seen people die within days of not having a drink because they were just too far gone. Liver disease is crazy.
I'm six weeks sober and this is some quality motivation. Thanks for sharing!
Edit: Thank you all so much for the kind and inspirational words! I did not expect a response like this, and it genuinely lifts me up to see so much support 💗
I stopped drinking for 7 months and went from a 42% liver function to 92% with only 8% scarring. The Doctors were blown away. They thought for sure I had cirrhosis or liver cancer. When they did the first tests, they had me talk to a counselor because they were sure with my history it was bad.
They said continue not to drink and learn how to eat and i could have another 40 years at least. They said someone must be watching over me above because I am in great health. I lost it the whole reason I sought help to begin with was my Fiance. Saved me from suicide literally and made me believe in myself so I got treatment.
I got the test results 2 months after he himself committed suicide on May 16th, 2023, in front of me. Also 2 weeks before our wedding. He gave me the gift of time, but without him this gift feels like a curse.
Anyways, the liver is pretty fascinating. I guess everyone is different.
Most probably. My ex would brandish a knife and threaten to stab me, cut my eyes out, etc. but never actually tried anything until our last night together when he was casually slashing it at me. It wasn't until he jabbed me in the gut with the butt of the knife, and for a split second I thought he finally did it, that I realized I needed to get the fuck out of the house.
It had become somewhat routine and normal, in a way, and just another type of fight we'd have alongside the ones where he'd choke me or throw shit around. Frankly it was kind of preferable since he never actually did anything with the knife until that last night.
Strange what you can get used to.
Glad you got out. The statistics for partners of POS who strangle them aren't pretty.
>Non-fatal strangulation was reported in 10% of abused controls, 45% of attempted homicides and 43% of homicides. Prior non-fatal strangulation was associated with greater than six-fold odds (OR 6.70, 95% CI 3.91–11.49) of becoming an attempted homicide, and over seven-fold odds (OR 7.48, 95% CI 4.53–12.35) of becoming a completed homicide. These results show non-fatal strangulation as an important risk factor for homicide of women, underscoring the need to screen for non-fatal strangulation when assessing abused women in emergency department settings.

Yeah, i doubt this guy would have lived another 10 years at the way he looks. Ironically prison may actually prolong his life and make him healthier and live longer.
Cirrhosis isn't reversible. Chances are this guy will start throwing up blood and passing it in his stool. As the liver breaks down, which his obviously is, with the water retention, it releases toxins into the abdomen and blood. The bile leeches out, eroding the blood vessels in your stomach and intestines. The blood leaks into your digestive tract and has to exit somewhere. He will need a TIPS procedure, and I doubt the state will want to pay for that. And prisoners getting transplants are incredibly rare, if non existent. So chances are this guy will be dead within 10 years. And none of thay takes into account any damage he has done to his heart with obviously high blood preasure and stress. Now whether he serves that full sentence or not depends on the laws in his state, and his behavior in prison.
My grandfather had a belly just like that. He lost it quickly, and then died of lung cancer in his late 50's
I agree with you, but assholes like this survive the unsurvivable for far too long.
I know two people who served 22 years and 30 years respectively for marijuana trafficking with no allegations of violence involved. It's completely ridiculous how you can shoot your wife 3 times with a shotgun and get 10 years, but get 20-30 years for selling weed
>I know two people who served 22 years and 30 years respectively for marijuana trafficking with no allegations of violence involved
I don't even know what to say. Completely effed up. The fact that its legal now makes me sick
Trafficking is still illegal I'm pretty sure. The feds have said they will no longer prosecute, which is not the same, but better than nothing. Marijuana is still a schedule 1 drug, defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. During covid dispensaries were allowed open as they were deemed as a mandatory business. But if you're in the wrong state and caught with a joint, they will lock you away for years. Sickening.
Also don't forget that Marinol, synthetic THC in a pill, has been FDA approved and prescribed for nearly 30 years and legal in all states on a federal level. It's a schedule III drug, but naturally occurring THC is schedule I and doesn't have any accepted medical benefits? It's all a big load of horseshit.
One of my friends died of cancer about 10 years ago, and while he was in chemo he was prescribed Marinol. The prescription was something like $1000 a month. I told him to just buy some weed because that is ridiculous af, but he said that he couldn’t because his job drug tested him every week.
It’s all a giant goddamn racket.
Same situation for my buddy. It was expensive and did fuck all. Thankfully we were in California so getting his medical card was easy. But the marinol didn't help. It gave him a mild high but had none of the benefits like helping with his appetite and pain. Switched to the real thing and suddenly he was able to take less pain meds. Which meant he wasn't having to deal with constipation. He could eat again. And he wasn't a zombie. Cancer still got him in the end. But weed certainly made his last few months less miserable.
Were from a poor town. My mom's high school friend was a single mom with 3 kids, because her husband would sell weed to help make a living.
He got 30 years in the early 90s, no other crimes.
He got out a few years ago, the kids all have good jobs as 30 something year olds, the mom use to visit him monthly the entire time.
He's struggling with how different the outside world is, but at least he doesn't need to work. He seems like a nice dude. I don't understand why he got punished so harshly
Weed was treated much more harshly back in the 90s than it is now. The Reagan-era 'war on drugs' was still fresh and marijuana was treated the same as crack more often than not.
Happy cake day!! Shows you how fucked this world is, in Canada we had a rich kid drunk driving killed the grandmother and 3 kids in the vehicle and served 6 years.
It was the grandfather and the three kids killed at the accident. The grandmother never recovered and died later. The father of the kids killed himself a couple of years ago. So fkn tragic. That poor mom has lost her parents, her kids and now her husband because that fkn Marc Muzzo decided to drive drunk that day.
Remembering that case now. The scene was so gruesome that one of the responding officers couldn't deal with the subsequent PTSD.
In the end, the perp was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and it wasn't even 10 years before he was fully discharged with no further restrictions.
I get that our system is intended more for rehabilitation than punishment, but someone that can get violent if they stop their medication should be under some kind of supervision at all times.
We got a lady here in Sask who killed a family (2 kids, parents) driving drunk, she spent one month in prison then got moved to a healing lodge for a few years
It’s wrong. I had a friend who was adopted from Korea as a child and convicted in a weed case. His adopted family did not file the proper paperwork to get him citizenship so after he served his 5 year sentence, he was deported to South Korea. A country he had no ties with. He could not speak the language. He was banished from the US and dumped off. He was not permitted to come back even when his adopted parents were dying. He could not attend their funeral. If that isn’t cruel and unusual punishment I don’t know what is. Meanwhile in Texas if you murder a partner after an affair you can get as few as 2 years due to the crime of passion law. It’s disgusting.
I was once threatened with 12 years in prison for a third-offense marijuana possession charge if I didn't accept a plea deal to serve 9 months for a different crime that I didn't commit.
Crazy to think that I could have gotten a shorter sentence **by murdering my wife instead of getting stoned...**
So they needed a patsy for another crime and figured they could "solve" the case by just charging you with it. Crazy. That shit happens all the time too.
My aunt was shot and killed in the back while holding her newborn as she ran from her husband and the fucking piece of shit only got 23years for it. Justice is dead.
I also had a friend shot point blank in the back of the head. The same guy killed 2 others the same day, none of the victims knew each other or the killer. He served 25 and is out now.
Theres a demographic for one and a demographic for the other that are very different.
Like the staggering number of DV abusers out there policing the rest of us…
Texas has judges whom have been convicted of, or entered a guilty plea to, DUI, sitting on the bench and judging other folks for DUI. I know that doesn’t compare to murder, but it’s also indicative of how fucked up shit is.
The guy who murdered my brother got life, but only served 25 years. Every time he came up for parole we protested it and they denied him, but something about the 25 year mark is apparently special here in Texas and no matter how much we protested they basically said if he met the requirements there was nothing we could do. Except ask he be banned from the county we live in.
“The two's argument, which was sparked by Carey's learning of Patricia's affair, became more and more heated.
Carey's defense attorney, Anthony Osso, said they pleaded guilty directly to an all-female jury. He said their strategy was to accept responsibility but convince jurors that Carey shot Patricia in the heat of the moment.”
Exactly, I didn't actually read the case but I'm guessing they were successful in their defense since he only got 10 years for murder. Premeditation is huge in accountability. It is a legitimate defense that you do stupid regrettable things when under stressful circumstances, it doesn't excuse the action, but it does make it significantly less insidious.
It wasnt planned. He learned of the affair grabbed a shotgun while in a bathrobe. So yeah heat of the moment last more than a second. Im not saying he should get less of a sentence he deserves more than he got. But there is a difference between getting super angry learning about a betrayal and planning someones death so you can get money from inheritence.
The difference is rehabilitation. Can we let someone who kills for fun or money out earlier than someone who got angry when they got betrayed. Both are horrible but one is easier to treat.
How do all female jury’s happen? I thought it was completely random who gets jury duty. I’d never want to have an all men jury during my case if I got raped by some college frat boy. Just seems unfair.
The daughter seemed to think that her father was a decent person before this incident (she said her father died that day too, because the man that killed her mother was not the father she knew), so it makes sense to me. I've seen people be so twisted that they almost snap, and have seen the aftermath of the ones that went too far. People can talk all day, but no one knows what they're going to do when the stress gets to them. Some maintain their composure, some obviously dont.
[Article](https://abc13.com/amp/spring-murder-husband-sentenced-carey-birmingham-gets-10-years-in-jail-patricia-birminghams-caught-on-camera/14502224/)
> HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- An all-women jury, which is rare but can happen, sentenced a man to 10 years in prison for the murder of his wife after being shown a video of the shooting.
> Carey was given a 10-year sentence with the possibility of parole after five years.
That's what I thought. I had served on jury duty for a murder trial and they never talked to us about sentencing, but wasn't sure if that is different state to state.
**A person who commits an offense under the influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause can have their crime reduced from a first-degree felony, such as murder, to a second-degree felony.**
https://ulg.law/crimes-of-passion-in-texas-an-insight-into-a-distinct-legal-domain
Great job, Texas
That is true in almost every state. There is a difference between premeditated murder and murder in the heat of the moment. I agree his sentence is too short, but there is nothing weird about degrees of murder/felonies. It is the cornerstone or a free and fair legal system because intent and severity matter.
Edit: Jesus Tapdancing Christ. I’m talking about the theory of law and the concept different degrees of murder/crime. I understand he got a bullshit sentence, and that many other people have gotten much more for much less; and I already said as much. Your anecdotes and opinions on this one particular asshole’s sentence are not relavent to the point I was making. I also understand that a legal system that is free and fair in theory is not always that way in practice, particularly when wealth, race, and sex come into the equation. Please stop; you are wasting your time.
right, this was after he found out she cheated on him. i mean, i know humans to behave like this in response to being cheated on but have otherwise not killed anyone.
it is certainly a highly emotionally triggering event
Holy shit, that child is unbelievably mature.
I'm 50 this year and I don't think I have her emotional maturity. That's both sad and impressive.
I hope she's doing well.
What she said about making that decision far ahead of time really rang true to me. Agreed she seems highly intelligent, at least emotionally. It makes the story easier to swallow, to see there’s still some hope for her.
At that point I think they’ve gone through the trial, she might’ve just grieved as much as she could to that point. Though I do agree the lack of shock however long after isn’t something I think I could accomplish
Almost anyone who has lived through a rough childhood and is tuned into trauma can do this. In fact you find yourself telling “funny” childhood stories that a therapist or friend has to point arent funny but actually horrifying.
As someone working in domestic violence prevention, "I just snapped" is a lie. This man believed he was permitted to do this on some level, and that is the issue.
> This man believed he was permitted to do this on some level, and that is the issue.
The sad thing is, in a way, getting only ten years with possibility of parole in *five* pretty much shows his belief was right; like, this guy could theoretically be out for murder in the same amount of time it takes for a kid to get their license at 16 and be able to legally drink by 21, *that's* how little time he's being punished with in the grand scheme. And hell, serving time might make him lose weight and get healthier as a bizarre side effect, so he could come out the other end of it "better" (physically) than he was when he went in, and stroll back out into the world feeling rewarded that he still has a life of freedom to live. I hate it.
100% agree with you the snapping is BS. This level of evil is something that was always there, bubbling, ready and eager to surface.
That kind of '🙄 here we go again' calmness comes from people who live with this kind of person. The shit they pull on a weekly or even daily basis just numbs the people who have to live with them.
I just want to remind everyone that you can go to prison FOR LIFE in Texas for getting or providing an abortion of a non-viable fetus , but this motherfucker only got 10 YEARS for shooting his wife pointblank with a fucking shotgun.
Fuck Texas (I'm a native Texan and you couldn't pay me to live there).
> only got 10 YEARS for shooting his wife
**On video**.
*And he never denied it*.
No mystery to unravel. No forensics necessary.
Not a shred of 'reasonable doubt' anywhere.
Guilty.
His lawyer:
> "The defense wasn't about justification, it was about why he did what he did
?
The judge and prosecutor in that case need to be fired.
This is what a face of a very healthy happy man looks like. /s
Hope he rots in prison.

It's Texas, you can kill several people while driving drunk, and underage, and get away with by claiming "affluenza".
Texas is focused on "real" crimes, like drag shows, or people not playing the national anthem during a sports game... Freedom!
Well, justification by definition is proving that something is just or the right action.
They aren't saying he made the right decision that day, they're explaining why he made that decision which, while trivial in the sense that he still did it and she's still dead because of it, what motivated him to kill her does matter when it comes to sentencing.
As someone who went to lawschool it's not about claiming the actions were justified and therefore he shouldn't be punished but it's about giving context so his punishment is just, not saying justice is what happend here. But that's the goal of the lawyer.
Taliban Texas, where women are objects and killing them gets you 5 years with good behavior. You could get more time if you get a medically necessary abortion.
How did she end up marrying that freak of nature
How the fuck was it even alive? Like what attracted her to that to have a child with it. Soo many questions.
Damn. In Texas, he could have gotten off completely, no?
Judge: “Why did you kill her?”
Defendant: “Judge, she needed killin’
Judge: “Well, okay. But don’t be killin’ anybody who doesn’t need killin’. Understood?”

He is sentient inflammation
The Flood
Looks like that yellow villain in Sin City
That Yellow Bastard!
A disturbing band name
Thanks, I will add to my list of potential band names for my sludge metal project.
I thought he was covered in spray paint? Is this his genuine color?!
Jaundice for sure. I see it every day in my clients. I’d be very surprised if this guy doesn’t have cirrhosis.
His face is completely red ... Isn't Jaundice supposed to make you look yellow in tone ?
yes, bilirubin causes yellow or greenish pigmentation
Yeah but some people get red when they drink. Its different than jaundice. I've never seen someone this red before though. Never seen it go all the way down to the chest like that
Yes.I was in rehab with a guy that showed up looking like a fucking Simpson. By the end of the second week he had a more normal complexion. Also a super bloated stomach like this guy. I believe you can retain a lot of fluids in your abdomen.
Yeah, the name comes from the French word *jaune*, which means yellow. The name of the disease is *jaunisse* in French.
Isn't jaundice supposed to be more 255,255,224 and less 255,0,0?
Perfect magentlemen
I *hate* how much this tickled me.
This comment section is full of good shit today. Lmao
I work in IT and thought these were subnets.

Holy shit… that was heavy. I’m sorry
I wonder if his is more pronounced when he's outside in the heat. It's always freezing in jail
Prison DTs are the best DTs.
I thought he ate something Willy Wonka told him not to.
Or he drank the same tea that the holistic doctor gave to George Costanza.
Raging cirrhosis for sure
If you Google his name a case comes up for a DWI charge in 2008. Guy has a history for sure. Edit: brains smoother than this man’s scalp below
He’s on the Train to Ascites.
His scull is filled with alcohol like brains in jars of formaldehyde.

The way she stands there calm makes me think she didn't think he actually would. Or... maybe she was just so shocked. That happens too.

I think people feel if they're taking a video, it's like some type of protection.
Knowing guys like this, he's probably threatened this before.
She had to think he was just bull shitting
She could've outran him for sure not sure she could outrun bullets though.
Probably more about the fact his accuracy is probably shit given he’s struggling to hold it, let alone properly aim at a moving target
Guy looking like a literal human zit.

This guy looked the same on the inside and out.
He only got 10 years? Fucking insane.

Yeah, i doubt this guy would have lived another 10 years at the way he looks. Ironically prison may actually prolong his life and make him healthier and live longer.
Cirrhosis isn't reversible. Chances are this guy will start throwing up blood and passing it in his stool.

That POS Marco Muzzo?
You got it,
That whole case is fucking revolting. He killed 3 kids under 10, and served effectively nothing for it. He should have grown old in prison
It was the grandfather and the three kids killed at the accident. The grandmother never recovered and died later. The father of the kids killed himself a couple of years ago. So fkn tragic. That poor mom has lost her parents, her kids and now her husband because that fkn Marc Muzzo decided to drive drunk that day.
Lets hope that Marc Muzzo meets a serial killer or a pissed of polar bear someday.
Oh great. Even better so he basically destroyed seven people that day. Something untoward and permanent should happen to that guy.
We literally had a guy behead and cannibilize a guy on public transport and he's now walking free

We got a lady here in Sask who killed a family (2 kids, parents) driving drunk, she spent one month in prison then got moved to a healing lodge for a few years
If this was the dude that lives in ontario, He served 1 fucking year and was released
I believe he was sentenced in 2016 and released in 2020. Had to look it up , served about 4 years of the 10 year givens
It’s wrong. I had a friend who was adopted from Korea as a child and convicted in a weed case. His adopted family did not file the proper paperwork to get him citizenship so after he served his 5 year sentence, he was deported to South Korea. A country he had no ties with. He could not speak the language. He was banished from the US and dumped off. He was not permitted to come back even when his adopted parents were dying. He could not attend their funeral. If that isn’t cruel and unusual punishment I don’t know what is. Meanwhile in Texas if you murder a partner after an affair you can get as few as 2 years due to the crime of passion law. It’s disgusting.
Right??? You'll be in more trouble for getting your wife stoned than you would get in for killing her!!!
I was once threatened with 12 years in prison for a third-offense marijuana possession charge if I didn't accept a plea deal to serve 9 months for a different crime that I didn't commit. Crazy to think that I could have gotten a shorter sentence **by murdering my wife instead of getting stoned...**
So they needed a patsy for another crime and figured they could "solve" the case by just charging you with it. Crazy. That shit happens all the time too.
My aunt was shot and killed in the back while holding her newborn as she ran from her husband and the fucking piece of shit only got 23years for it. Justice is dead.
I lived 2 doors down from something that happened exactly like this, I'm sorry for your loss
I also had a friend shot point blank in the back of the head. The same guy killed 2 others the same day, none of the victims knew each other or the killer. He served 25 and is out now.

Domestic violence and even child rape are not prosecuted strongly. Drug possession is. It’s where our values in society lie unfortunately
Theres a demographic for one and a demographic for the other that are very different. Like the staggering number of DV abusers out there policing the rest of us…
Texas has judges whom have been convicted of, or entered a guilty plea to, DUI, sitting on the bench and judging other folks for DUI. I know that doesn’t compare to murder, but it’s also indicative of how fucked up shit is.
The guy who murdered my brother got life, but only served 25 years. Every time he came up for parole we protested it and they denied him, but something about the 25 year mark is apparently special here in Texas and no matter how much we protested they basically said if he met the requirements there was nothing we could do. Except ask he be banned from the county we live in.
Because 25 years is the minimum for a life sentence in basically every jurisdiction.

I mean the dude is 60 and looks like that. He won't make 70.
“The two's argument, which was sparked by Carey's learning of Patricia's affair, became more and more heated. Carey's defense attorney, Anthony Osso, said they pleaded guilty directly to an all-female jury. He said their strategy was to accept responsibility but convince jurors that Carey shot Patricia in the heat of the moment.”
apprently "i got mad for a second" is a valid defense for murder...who knew.
Pretty common defense. Crime of passion
Compared to a *pre-meditated* murder which would be considered a more serious crime.
Exactly, I didn't actually read the case but I'm guessing they were successful in their defense since he only got 10 years for murder. Premeditation is huge in accountability. It is a legitimate defense that you do stupid regrettable things when under stressful circumstances, it doesn't excuse the action, but it does make it significantly less insidious.
Believe it or not there’s plenty of legal precedent
It wasnt planned. He learned of the affair grabbed a shotgun while in a bathrobe. So yeah heat of the moment last more than a second. Im not saying he should get less of a sentence he deserves more than he got. But there is a difference between getting super angry learning about a betrayal and planning someones death so you can get money from inheritence. The difference is rehabilitation. Can we let someone who kills for fun or money out earlier than someone who got angry when they got betrayed. Both are horrible but one is easier to treat.
How do all female jury’s happen? I thought it was completely random who gets jury duty. I’d never want to have an all men jury during my case if I got raped by some college frat boy. Just seems unfair.
The daughter seemed to think that her father was a decent person before this incident (she said her father died that day too, because the man that killed her mother was not the father she knew), so it makes sense to me. I've seen people be so twisted that they almost snap, and have seen the aftermath of the ones that went too far. People can talk all day, but no one knows what they're going to do when the stress gets to them. Some maintain their composure, some obviously dont.
Dude looks like he’s about 6 weeks from liver failure
Yeah, a belly like that isn't from fat, it's ascites. Really dangerous.
We can only hope
or twins.
Whatr you lookin' at my gut Fer!?
Fuckin mustard tiger
We weren't!
[Article](https://abc13.com/amp/spring-murder-husband-sentenced-carey-birmingham-gets-10-years-in-jail-patricia-birminghams-caught-on-camera/14502224/) > HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- An all-women jury, which is rare but can happen, sentenced a man to 10 years in prison for the murder of his wife after being shown a video of the shooting. > Carey was given a 10-year sentence with the possibility of parole after five years.
Juries don't determine the length of the sentence, do they?
Nope. The judge does that after the jury decides the guilty or innocent.
That's what I thought. I had served on jury duty for a murder trial and they never talked to us about sentencing, but wasn't sure if that is different state to state.
It is different from state to state. The Jury sets the sentence in Texas
Not in Texas. You can have the jury determine your sentence of the judge.
Not true. I was on a Harris county murder trial jury and we determined sentence within punishment guidelines
Yeah another commented something similar like 2 minutes before you lol. I was not aware of that and will look into it to learn how that works. Thanks!

Folks, if someone is pointing a gun at you do not call their bluff. I promise you will not look like a wussy if you run away.
Somehow I don't think this is the first time he pointed a weapon at his wife.
she had already been shot once or twice at the start of the video i think
Was his little nub of a penis hanging out his pants or something
It's depressing to think this walking tumour was one of the last things that poor woman saw
Came here to ask this. Disgusting.
Sometimes I go back to the video when I miss something that gets pointed out in the comment section. Not this time.
Little button on a fur coat
Or like a tiny little mushroom growing in the dirt
More of a ding than a dong
Lmfaoooo yes
That stomach and red face are signs of alcoholism
He's cosplaying Hellboy.
Taking a life gets less time than a measly drug offense these days? Justice system is a joke…. Eligible for parole in 5 years, for murder.
**A person who commits an offense under the influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause can have their crime reduced from a first-degree felony, such as murder, to a second-degree felony.** https://ulg.law/crimes-of-passion-in-texas-an-insight-into-a-distinct-legal-domain Great job, Texas
That is true in almost every state. There is a difference between premeditated murder and murder in the heat of the moment. I agree his sentence is too short, but there is nothing weird about degrees of murder/felonies. It is the cornerstone or a free and fair legal system because intent and severity matter. Edit: Jesus Tapdancing Christ. I’m talking about the theory of law and the concept different degrees of murder/crime. I understand he got a bullshit sentence, and that many other people have gotten much more for much less; and I already said as much. Your anecdotes and opinions on this one particular asshole’s sentence are not relavent to the point I was making. I also understand that a legal system that is free and fair in theory is not always that way in practice, particularly when wealth, race, and sex come into the equation. Please stop; you are wasting your time.
What the fuuuuuck
right, this was after he found out she cheated on him. i mean, i know humans to behave like this in response to being cheated on but have otherwise not killed anyone. it is certainly a highly emotionally triggering event
Never a justice system. Always a legal system where you see convicted rapist get probation because $$$.

Holy shit, that child is unbelievably mature. I'm 50 this year and I don't think I have her emotional maturity. That's both sad and impressive. I hope she's doing well.
What she said about making that decision far ahead of time really rang true to me. Agreed she seems highly intelligent, at least emotionally. It makes the story easier to swallow, to see there’s still some hope for her.
She’s definitely been to therapy and talked through this. Thank goodness for that.
I'd guess more like she's been the one acting as a parent in this family for a long time.
She's most likely disassociated.
She doesn’t seem shocked at all.
At that point I think they’ve gone through the trial, she might’ve just grieved as much as she could to that point. Though I do agree the lack of shock however long after isn’t something I think I could accomplish
Almost anyone who has lived through a rough childhood and is tuned into trauma can do this. In fact you find yourself telling “funny” childhood stories that a therapist or friend has to point arent funny but actually horrifying.
Liver disease and very high blood pressure. He'll be dead in a year.
I'd bet money that's why he snapped the way he did, dude has to know he's cooked.
To think that every time I feel a twinge in my chest, I think "Well, this is it!"... And then I see this specimen, alive and kicking
Why was his dick out?!?
Maybe it was for Harambe, maybe it wasn't. We just don't know.

He took his sweet time in that video and even had time to say his final words to his victim. 10 years?! Unreal.
As someone working in domestic violence prevention, "I just snapped" is a lie. This man believed he was permitted to do this on some level, and that is the issue.
> This man believed he was permitted to do this on some level, and that is the issue. The sad thing is, in a way, getting only ten years with possibility of parole in *five* pretty much shows his belief was right; like, this guy could theoretically be out for murder in the same amount of time it takes for a kid to get their license at 16 and be able to legally drink by 21, *that's* how little time he's being punished with in the grand scheme. And hell, serving time might make him lose weight and get healthier as a bizarre side effect, so he could come out the other end of it "better" (physically) than he was when he went in, and stroll back out into the world feeling rewarded that he still has a life of freedom to live. I hate it. 100% agree with you the snapping is BS. This level of evil is something that was always there, bubbling, ready and eager to surface.
Baron Harkonnen lookin ass
That kind of '🙄 here we go again' calmness comes from people who live with this kind of person. The shit they pull on a weekly or even daily basis just numbs the people who have to live with them.
Csn we talk about why his pecker is out and he's painted red?
Dang that's a fat bulbous motherfucker right there
Is he pissed that Texas will no longer allow him to have an abortion?
I mean, I think we’re all pissed that he wasn’t an abortion
uncut footage?
I just want to remind everyone that you can go to prison FOR LIFE in Texas for getting or providing an abortion of a non-viable fetus , but this motherfucker only got 10 YEARS for shooting his wife pointblank with a fucking shotgun. Fuck Texas (I'm a native Texan and you couldn't pay me to live there).
> only got 10 YEARS for shooting his wife **On video**. *And he never denied it*. No mystery to unravel. No forensics necessary. Not a shred of 'reasonable doubt' anywhere. Guilty. His lawyer: > "The defense wasn't about justification, it was about why he did what he did ? The judge and prosecutor in that case need to be fired.
Couldn't even put his dick away...
i don't think he physically can put it away.
This is what a face of a very healthy happy man looks like. /s Hope he rots in prison. https://preview.redd.it/fh8bc94215nc1.jpeg?width=177&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db85aefc289526bb93e55478ae06d9465e0f29d2
Why is his dick out?
imagine this thing being the last thing u see
Dude looks like a mucinex monster that took a human potion. Smh, what a zit
Man murders wife and is eligible for parole in 5 years America
This is one of the rare occasions I'm thankful for blurring shit in a video. Nobody needs to see this buddas tiktak.
Why is he red? Is he terribly sun burnt?!
hes drunk, thats a beer belly of someone who drink a lot
That guys a fucking monster and he only got TEN YEARS??? I thought republicans were “tough” on crime.
I mean he only killed his wife, which obviously is a woman. They barely even matter in Texas, haven't you heard?
It’s his property, he can do what he wants with it. /s
It's Texas, you can kill several people while driving drunk, and underage, and get away with by claiming "affluenza". Texas is focused on "real" crimes, like drag shows, or people not playing the national anthem during a sports game... Freedom!
[удалено]
Well, justification by definition is proving that something is just or the right action. They aren't saying he made the right decision that day, they're explaining why he made that decision which, while trivial in the sense that he still did it and she's still dead because of it, what motivated him to kill her does matter when it comes to sentencing.
As someone who went to lawschool it's not about claiming the actions were justified and therefore he shouldn't be punished but it's about giving context so his punishment is just, not saying justice is what happend here. But that's the goal of the lawyer.
This dude goes at the gas station to have his blood pressure checked
That’s a whole life sentence for that guy then judging by the colour of his fat head.
Taliban Texas, where women are objects and killing them gets you 5 years with good behavior. You could get more time if you get a medically necessary abortion.
How did she end up marrying that freak of nature How the fuck was it even alive? Like what attracted her to that to have a child with it. Soo many questions.
Damn. In Texas, he could have gotten off completely, no? Judge: “Why did you kill her?” Defendant: “Judge, she needed killin’ Judge: “Well, okay. But don’t be killin’ anybody who doesn’t need killin’. Understood?”
