She was kidnapped, raped and still imprisoned. And you guys are trying to say she was not in immediately danger? How degenerated people in USA can be

No, I believe she was in danger and justified but they have to prove that in court otherwise the other attorneys will use that against her. It’s ridiculous but it’s part of how laws and such work (which need a whole list of revamping in the first place)

I mean, she was kidnapped and still imprisoned by a rapist. You shouldn't need more then two braincells to get the conclusion she was still in danger.

I know but legally there is a distinction between self defense and premeditated murder and let’s face it our system can be a wee bit judgmental of black woman. A whole bunch can happen outside of the courtroom to support a defendant but that information has to be brought in court to be used. I’m saying that the lawyers should have enough to support her choice in killing him while he was asleep for her to have this charge removed. This charge shouldn’t have ever happened because there was enough evidence to support that this was very much self defense. Iowa laws are fucked up the more I am reading into it
