Former basketball star allegedly stabbed to death by wife after she caught him looking at child porn* * - NY Daily News

Some here surely will claim that she was justified.

Is this really what we want - people conducting executions without the condemned having the benefit of due process?

There's a system put in place to deal with this sort of thing. She ought to have called the police after confronting her husband with what he was doing. Simple as that.

Break the law, get arrested. That open and shut.

Guarantee you that there will be some on here who agree with her actions. There is a reason why we are a CIVILIZED society and not a society ran by the inmates, if you will.

She'll just say he beat her for years but of course she was too afraid to ever press charges or report anything and somebody will buy the fake tears on the stand and away she will walk.

That is an interesting perspective.

I don't recall the story saying that any evidence of child porn was discovered.

Could she have destroyed it in her fury?

Destruction of evidence is a crime - she may be facing more charges if that is indeed what occurred.

Yeah, but what qualifies her to make that judgment call?

It doesn't. She should be punished for, at least, 2nd degree murder or the CA equivalent and if such a charge exists, a charge for vigilantism.

I thought you were into that sort of thing -executions without due process.
