You Only Need One Reason To Kill In Texas

A Houston jury acquitted the woman who killed her boyfriend by shooting him in the face and then tried to blame it on her nine year old son. The boyfriend had a long pattern of abuse (like zig-zags up and down her body, perhaps some cross-stitching) and after admitting she lied when police arrived on the scene, her lawyers prepared a solid gold self-defense strategy.

"I'm not asking y'all to make Erika mother of the year," he told jurors Wednesday. " ... Thank God, within several hours of this, she told officers the truth."

It worked, she walked, he's dead.
