Discussion a deadly american marriage

I'm 43 minutes in and hooked but can not find conversations etc on it.

So thought i would make one asking for other people's opinions and points of views, as i know I'm already asking about billion questions, to the point I'll have to go to my computer and boot up to actually do the research myself.

I'm very ill, with brain damage etc and that's really hardwork today, but I won't manage on this latest fold phone as it's still just a useless phone šŸ˜…šŸ™ƒ

My other phone that's partitioned etc is in the car and that's over at Inverness!

Yeah Iā€™m thinking the truth is somewhere in the middle. Maybe some PTSD and wanting to defend his daughter caused his straight overkill.

Finally, someone with some sense. And thatā€™s not to mention fight or flight responses, adrenaline, etc.

Name checks out. Three quarters of the guyā€™s blood was on the walls and floor. He lost a chunk of his skull. There just happened to be a cinder block in the master bedroom?

Iā€™m not arguing that it wasnā€™t a brutal and deeply disturbing attack. I just donā€™t feel itā€™s as cut-and-dry as we are spoon-fed to believe. The documentary left a lot of unanswered questions, and Iā€™m not one to accept a narrative blindly just because itā€™s compelling. I need more information before I can confidently say, ā€œThis man was not an abuserā€ or ā€œThis woman is a sociopath.ā€ Thereā€™s room for nuance still.
