"Or is this generally just a big crock like the old lie about "Most American women are beaten up after the Super Bowl"?

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. But I think it is more likely that the stats cited in this article are generally true.

Believe me, the man didn't go from loving this woman to beating her to death in a "moment of madness". Domestic violence escalates over time, and I'm sure he was slapping her around for some time.

Then again, our OJ is freely roaming the golf courses of the world. I know that French law is very easy on murderers who can show they acted in a passion, but since this crime was committed in Vilnius (where is that? Lithuania? Where the heck is that?) I assume M. Cantat will be tried there.

Vilnius.

Yep, Lithuania. One of the Baltic countries.

Also home of Capt. Ramius, as I recall.
