[@lw2939]

She did not owe him anything ! She made it clear it was over .

[@AngelGonzalez-pd4cn]

It is not about she owing him anything, she owed to herself some dignity some honor and some decency, the divorce was not even finalized and she was banging another guy already, which means she was banging that guy since long before the divorce thing crossed her mind, she is a big time 304 and the dead guy an imbecile beta, of all the women in the world he had to mess with a banged up junk woman with kids and still married.

[@nimue4325]

And neither did the victim, Davis, owe an explanation to the ex (husband). She was not property for them to fight over or discuss anything. He had the venue of the divorce court to settle the separation. Meeting up with a disgruntled ex can only mean trouble.

[@markbrown1609]

the defense will play this card: A "crime of passion" typically refers to a criminal act, usually murder, committed in the heat of the moment due to strong emotional arousal, such as rage, jealousy, or fear. It's often used as a legal defense to mitigate the severity of the crime, arguing that the perpetrator was temporarily insane or not fully in control of their actions due to intense emotions. The legal implications can vary depending on jurisdiction and specific circumstances surrounding the crime.

[@SissyKay]

No. He's playing the "it was an accident" card.
