She allows herself to become grounded within a complicated affair permeated of sexual objectification as a result of key aspects in her life, such ...

It is just a story. The idea of killing a man with a leg of lamb and then getting the cops to eat the lamb is ridiculous. Roald Dahl was noted for writing stories like this. His story " The Way Up to Heaven " is a good example.
It appears that, according to the police and the courts, Mary Maloney is perfectly innocent. Mary Maloney simply walked up behind him and without any pause she swung the big frozen leg of lamb high in the air and brought it down as hard as she could on the back of his head.
Mary Maloney is never going to be formally convicted of murder, and so in some ways, she will never really be guilty of the crime of killing her husband. She covers up the murder incredibly successfully, by cooking the evidence to ensure its destruction and by establishing an alibi for herself. She also understands that ...
Michael Gordon, 61, a lifelong Elizabeth City resident who lives across the street, sat with a neighbor on the front porch of his white, two-story house late Tuesday afternoon. “They said it’s justified; I don’t see how,” Gordon told The Daily Beast, adding that Brown was unarmed.
ELIZABETH CITY—A North Carolina prosecutor on Tuesday said the police killing of Andrew Brown last month “was justified” because he drove his car at officers serving a warrant, even as the same official showed video that painted a more complicated picture of the 42-year-old Black man attempting to flee.
In most countries, a homicide is justified when there is sufficient evidence to disprove (under the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard for criminal charges, and "preponderance of evidence" standard for claims of wrongdoing, i.e. civil liability) the alleged criminal act or wrongdoing.
The concept of justifiable homicide in criminal law is a defense to culpable homicide (criminal or negligent homicide). Generally, there is a burden of production of exculpatory evidence in the legal defense of justification. In most countries, a homicide is justified when there is sufficient evidence to disprove ...
A non-criminal homicide ruling , usually committed in self-defense or in defense of another , exists under United States law. A homicide may be considered justified if it is done to prevent a very serious crime, such as rape, armed robbery, manslaughter or murder. The victim must reasonably believe, under the totality of the circumstances, that the assailant intended to commit a criminal act that would likely result in the death or life-threatening injury of an innocent person. A homicide performed out of vengeance, or retribution for action in the past, or in pursuit of a "fleeing felon" (except under specific circumstances) would not be considered justifiable.
In some jurisdictions, the castle doctrine allows the use of deadly force in self-defense against an intruder in one's home. Other jurisdictions have stand-your-ground laws that allow use of deadly force in self-defense in a vehicle or in public, without a duty to retreat.
Article 2 Paragraph 2 of the European Convention On Human Rights provides that death resulted from defending oneself or others, arresting a suspect or fugitive, or suppressing riots or insurrections, will not contravene the Article when the use of force involved is "no more than absolutely necessary":
However, the law retains explicit exceptions which prohibit the prosecution "of any person for conduct relating to an abortion," "of any person for any medical treatment," or "of any woman with respect to her unborn child," thereby preserving the right to an abortion stemming from Roe v. Wade.
What do you mean by 'justified'? He was evil, and I'd agree that he more than earned his fate, but it's still murder no matter how you look at it. Same with Shae, except her 'crimes' were far less than Tywin's.
Sure, some monsters has to be put down for the benefit of humanity. Tywin was certainly such a case. Best thing Tyrion ever did.
Tywin was sorry excuse for a human being and I'm glad he's gone but it was still murder. I guess I'm alone in this because I didn't want Tyrion to be the one to do it, even though I understand why he did it. But, to me, his murdering of his father had a "kill the father, become the father" feeling to it.
Yes. I'm a bit of a Tywin fan, but I wouldn't have waited so long to kill him in Tyrion's place.
knowing tywin, i don't think he would let tyrion live...he hated tyrion that much.
Tyrion and Tywin definitely had a dysfunctional relationship...But I don't think that was a reason for murder. I think it was more of a crime of passion him finding Shae in Tywins bed. And are there any other houses in the 7 kingdoms whose Lord became lord through killing his own father?
knowing tywin, i don't think he would let tyrion live...he hated tyrion that much.
