It’s evil for reporters to discuss old “charges” without mentioning whether or not there was ever any indictment, trial or conviction. This stuff is in the public record. Why not disclose it? Anybody can “charge” anyone with anything. The press loves moral ambiguity.

The US press starts with a conclusion, and tries to find evidence to support it. Like with the hulking White bully, George Zimmerman.

“If the charges against HIM were true, then the Texas defense applies.”

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty and convicted as charged? Oh, yeah, the internet and keyboard kangaroos supercede the rule of law and judicial process.

The physical evidence is also supportive of her being into BDSM, drugs, lying and manipulation of the legal system for leveredge in a divorce and custody dispute. We can safely presume this based upon the fact the state did not choose to prosecute him for the alleged and evidenciary felonies.

After failing to use the law to destroy her husband she shot him outright.

The first degree murder charge is very revealing. It indicates the authorities know she’s the bad one and had prior intent.

We can only hope there is a Grand Mama ready to step right up, and take care of her.

I hate to sound like a cynic, but I sure hope the two granmas don't have guns.

Going on here in Eastern Kansas. Rheuban had previously been arrested for abusing his pet monkey and for owning a 200 pound mountain lion.

I’m with you. A good defense lawyer can get her off.

I reserve judgment. Anything is possible. It might be just the way she claimed; rape, torture, abuse...

Or maybe, just maybe...

She's full of it. It's was all BS. She did it to herself or she was totally into that sort of thing. He broke up with her. So, she went down there with the intent to kill him.

Sorry. Seen too many “pretty” women who were manipulative harpies with all the skills of a trained actress. That picture means nothing to me. I learned a long time ago that when it comes to breakups things aren't always the way they seem. Sometimes a women that is physically weak or attractive can have have the brutal, vindictive mind of a killer.

If things were as she represented then he needed shooting. If not then no wonder he shot her the finger.

It's not unusual for wives to lie about mistreatment in divorce, in order to screw the husband and/or extort a better settlement.

In my opinion, she went to hunt down her husband for the specific purpose of murdering him, and thinks that her tale of mistreatment will get her off.

And another thing...

He does all this ‘stuff’ to her and still she goes closer to him? Close ehough that he could see her and make a gesture at her? And she just happens to have a loaded gun on her? Unless the gesture he made was to point a weapon at her she wasn’t in any danger at that time. If he was so dangerous, why did she go near him? Someone else could have taken the picture. No, something smells ‘off’ here. No matter what he did or didn’t do she went down there to kill him.

I tried to post a reply to the story and they called it spam — you be the judge.

“My divorce lawyer ex-girlfriend use to tell me that 10s don’t marry 2s! So if he was that bad, what’s her story?

Did she stop to reload? How many times was he hit? And, where? Did she police her brass?”

I thought the comment was pretty innocent but important questions to answer.

Hunter Grissom was previously charged with first degree rape, first degree sodomy, unlawful imprisonment and other drug-related charges. She was the victim of all this abuse. Her answer was “some people need killing”, and she will get no argument from me! I wouldn’t take odds the Grammies aren’t packing. It’s either carried by 6 or tried by 12, it’s their choice. Always remember: when seconds count, cops are only minutes away, they will get there in time to draw a chalk outline and give you a toe tag.

How does that help a four year old kid? Her father is dead, her mother is facing a long stretch in prison. (There is no accepted theory of self defense under which you are entitled to shoot someone for making a gesture at you.) I hope her grandparents have some adult in them, despite their obvious failures as parents.

As to the father’s defects and faults, we have only the word of his obviously embittered wife, hardly a reliable source. He may have been evil incarnate, or just a jerk, or possibly even just a poor schlemiel. I find little humor in this tragedy, and both of them appear to have acted badly.

Which is why I said the word IF.

The shooter was also the alleged victim.

“Not guilty” in this context may not mean what you think it means.

FReepers declare the female accused “guilty” or “not guilty” depending on her relative attractiveness.

Regardless whether she should be convicted, I’d say that most guys would judge her “not guilty.”
