I hope she pronounces sentence today.
How horrid.27th February.
VDS says Jason has not been charged or convicted of adultery. @TeamNews24
#Rohde VDS: The murder was committed in a moment of passion, absolute weakness and madness, and loss of control in the context of the accused simply having snapped. @TeamNews24#Rohde VDS: This murder was less serious because there was no premeditation. @TeamNews24
We are back. VDS returns to murder. "I can only describe this as a moment of weakness or madness, in which he simply snapped. Court found he punched her on her eyebrow, he exerted force on her to immobilise, he throttled and smothered her." @TeamNews24
Right so he physically abused her as VDS admits in his own words
The following is great, when the Judge interjects.
Defence emphasises there "is not one vestige" of any physical violence towards his wife or anyone else. The allegation of battered wife syndrome was "utterly dispelled".
"Except for that Saturday night, Sunday morning," Judge points out. @TeamNews24
VDS so which is it" he abused her "or "there is not on vestige of abuse". The whole argument is flawed. You only have to abuse your wife once and she dies. There are no do overs. Murder is just that there are no degrees of murder. You are either alive or dead.
The following, is so ridiculous:
Defence asks court to consider how prison has been for Jason. To be used to a luxurious or comfortable lifestyle and then overnight, all of those liberties are totally removed from your life. "You can't even anymore watch TV [or] sit in silence." @TeamNews24
