Why did this occur? The BF felt that time had come to confront the husband to put all this out into the open. He wanted to move his relationship to the next level. Marriage. MARRIAGE??? Are you farking nuts? My belief: Once a cheater; Always a cheater. And an ambushed confrontation is never a good idea. Because of his irrational, unfounded fear of the husband, the idiot brought a gun to this spontaneous meet. He basically ambushed the guy outside the guy's GF's apartment. Seeing the weapon, he fled attempting to escape this guy. He didn't know his wife had been screwing around for the last 4 years. He had no idea who this nut-job guy was. The gunman pursued and long story short: The wife's BF killed the husband in the apartment stairwell. He claims he never intended to kill the firefighter. Why bring a gun then? Of course, the prison sentence was far more lenient than it should have been. 30 years for 2nd degree murder. He should have gotten the death penalty. After all, it's Florida. Like Texas, they hand out death penalties like candy to kids on Halloween. He'll be out before he's 60 when he should never breathe the air of freedom.
This incident could have been avoided. They (husband and wife) could have sat down, admit their indiscretions and move on. Walk away from the marriage and everyone could have gone on with their lives. But Noooooo!!!
In the Dateline show, most viewers would have drawn the same conclusion as I did. She manipulated her BF, a much younger man who was clearly in love with her, to kill her husband. There was no evidence of abuse. The marriage just wasn't working any longer for either of them. They just no longer wanted each other. The twist: She stood to inherit a million dollars if he was dead. Again, money was probably the motivator. She claims she was unaware of the BF's plan. Bull-Shit!!! The BF has never given her up. He's serving the time. She got to walk on the murder but not the burglary and break-in of her late husband's GF's apartment that occurred a few weeks before the murder. We only know that there was a B&E because the idiots videotaped the crime. She too is now imprisoned. Deservedly so. Sad thing is she'll be out some day soon. Happy thing is his family sued her for the insurance money that no one felt she was entitled. They won. But the amount was not disclosed.
The one common thread that all of these people were guilty of, was stupidity, and a lack of using common sense. And I don't mean stupidity as in a lack of intelligence or being intellectually challenged. I mean people who use their "hearts" (emotions) or baser desires (sex) to make decisions. No logic used at all. If we could imprison people for these crimes, we would need a prison the size of Texas. The majority of Americans are STUPID. I'd like to say present company excluded, but I don't know my readers that well. They may be stupid. Hope not. But if they are, maybe I've just opened some eyes and minds.
I urge people to not commit these crimes. If you enter into an extramarital, clandestine fling or affair...Separate. Get a divorce. I'm sure I've ranted about this previously. But obviously the same damn story keeps popping up on the tube regularly. And people never learn. The payoff in the end is NEVER worth the short term benefits. Game on. Rant over.
