The way her husband treated her was uncalled for. If you lost the passion though, divorce your wife, don’t take on a mistress and then make your wife/husband feel it’s their fault for you not keeping it in your pants. However in the trail case, my thoughts always went back to the time where infidelity could lead to execution.

Capital punishment is given to them who aren't capable of rehabilitation and who pose a threat to the society if they're back out free.

Even if she had filed for a divorce given her background, she would be up against a high profile war hero and a well liked politician. She would've lost the custody of her children. Again, I'm not saying that killing her husband was the only option. But she was left with very few.

[@tamilly7941]

Acording to the French Law, back then, if someone killed her/his husband or wife after they have a "non consented extramarital affair" (by the spouse) in the shared property or the home of the spouse, and it was comited in a rage of hot temper, it wasn't considered guilty, as it was an offense on the honor, a heart break, and a situation who was not controlled by the person in the moment in wich he/she commited the crime. However, all the welth and properties of the deceased partner remained in her or his family, and under any circumstance the assassin could heredate the money of the deceased, besides any civil or military decoration become forbidden as well as serving in the government or the army, unless in a conscript unit. So it wasn't so "free" but understandable, (look at her, she went to serve in a colony to help the people, and didn't got the money).

Not guilty doesn’t mean you’re innocent. It just means that there were mitigating circumstances that led up to the crime. Such as “by reason of insanity.” His actions were a direct cause of her insanity.

[@fatedtolive667]

Just a small point of fact. The 'court' in the form of the judiciary and representative of the power structure, was anxious to make an example of her, perhaps seeing their possible fate in that of her philandering husband. It was in fact the jury, not the court, which found her not guilty. Its perhaps a fine distinction, but still, I think, worthy of note if for no other reason that judges, particularly of that time in France and England where the story had gained much traction, have always been notorious for inserting their class, race, and gender prejudices into the business of the courts and the administration of the law.

[@WeAreNotAmused]

I'm a man and I absolutely thought that husband was tormentative and trifling to say the very least But to say he played with fire doesn't even approach the profound befuddling betrayal he perpetrated on a devoted woman who. He originally won her heart legitimately and to leave one you had held as beloved and has been your loyal companion only to be discarded like a used item but remaining married and leaving her to linger in the emptiness left behind I can only imagine the confounding nature of such betrayal could send one twirling down and spiraling into madness he was an arrogant piece of shiza and his unmitigated gall and continued to rebuff the earnest attempt to stoke the fire back he was beyond asinine how cavalier he was to think every day you piss down somebody's neck and believe that nothing will ever come of it. And that the toxicity he created ultimately caused his death. A woman's true love and devotion is not something to trifle with This is actually a fitting and.

Yup! Murder, totally acceptable! Truly boggles the mind that you openly condone murder. No respect for law; just the all important FEELINGS, which trump any human rights. His children lost their only father. What about his parents, siblings, good friends? All of them subject to the greatest pain & disruption of life, for her revenge. And he lost his entire life! Imagine the chaos we'd live in, if people like you were allowed to legalize revenge murder. "Your honor, I THOUGHT he was cheating!" "Oh, let her go..." (woman inherits all). I bet you're a left wing, defund the police, open federal borders to all comers, let 3 year olds choose hormone therapy, (ironically, anti capital punishment) Democrat. If I am right: God you people give me the creeps. You have no sympathy for anyone's civil rights when they oppose your own feelings. In short: you are exceedingly shortsighted and exhibit the lowest type of intellect - sacrificing impartiality for self gratification. I think voters should have to pass a qualifying exam on the nature of a republican democracy, as we have established, & civil rights. Because you don't appear to understand basic rights. Edit: No, cheating isn't ok. But it's more ok than state sanctioned murder!

[@IntrepidFraidyCat]

I don't know anything about France's legal system but didn't they have something similar to at least a manslaughter charge? Times were different then and women didn't have a lot of choices but DANG! I'm really loving your content! I look forward to seeing more. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@nirvanalama8493]

If this took place today, it wouldn't have been manslaughter. It would've been a second degree murder, since in manslaughter your indirect actions cause the loss of life. However in this case, her actions were direct but it was due to immense emotional distress and provocation. But there was this slight time frame between her thinking of killing herself and then shooting her husband which counts as malice aforethought (she knew shooting her husband would kill him). And for an action to be murder malice aforethought is very important. It would've been manslaughter if she would've fought with him and in doing so killed him. Because usually when two individuals are fighting they do not think the final result would be death of one. (This is the reason why boxers and military people are held accountable even if they just fought, because they're trained professionals). But when a gun is involved you're sure that shooting someone with it surely kills them. So, even if it took a fraction of a second for her to change her mind from shooting herself to shooting her husband, she did infact thought of it this proving malice aforethought. Sorry if this was lengthy.

[@christinamussared2285]

I mean she wasn't a danger to others so I probably wouldn't be afraid of her being free. However it does take a certain something to actually pull the trigger. Not everyone has it in them to cross that line. She definitely deserved prison. But I sympathized with her plight as well.

Her husband gaslighted her. She felt helpless and worthless. I’m not surprised she did what she did, however one with more self esteem would just leave and run him through the courts for adultery.

[@angelinalozada189]

Thank You.

I'm not sure. He should have known that the emotional abuse he subjected her to could lead to that.

[@dijahhairston]

Abusive people never think they’re in the wrong until the person they’re hurting finally hurts them back.

[@lovelyred-dy2ts]

I think justice has been served that what you get after you abuse someone and treat them like they're nobody for so many years people have limits to what they can take before they break.

[@hambonejamboree7750]

It’s okay to murder someone if they’re a dick? Okay then, you’re insane.

[@lovelyred-dy2ts]

@@hambonejamboree7750 he was more than a dick towards her !! Did you watch the video ?

Just subscribed. Was anyone else thinking of Betty Broderick when watching this? I’m very happy to have found your channel, sir. Thank you very much for your hard work with research and your excellent storytelling.

[@kittyb5706]

Wow, excellent point. I'm shocked that she didn't come to my mind while watching. The stories are so similar, but with such a different outcome for Betty.

[@lanas1149]

Yep Betty Broderick was on my mind too. Sure she was wrong to murder them but I do feel sorry for her in the way that her ex-husband and his wife treated her and I do believe that this all led to her madness.

[@memerodgers9336]

I think it was the right thing to do because she was abused mentally and emotionally by her husband. It's clear that she was at the point of no return and even after being found not guilty she dedicated her life to caring for people who came from a similar social place as she did.

[@hensonlaura]

He fell in love with an intense woman and that intensity didn't just go away when he got bored. I don't think he deserved to die for cheating, but people are responsible for the situations they put themselves in and when you attach yourself to an extreme person (crazy in the head, crazy in the bed, type fun) you are subject to their extremes. Which is why I won't let people like that get close to me - having been fooled in the past. It is SO not worth it.

[@udowannun7780]

Where did you get anything about her being “intense” before he started treating her like sh.*t. Pierre was an abusive, egotistic f*ck with narcissist tendencies. She didn’t do anything to warrant his neglect and humiliation. Dude got what he deserved.

[@Rubytuesday1569]

Another brilliantly told story, I love your perfect grammar. This case is a tough one, her husband was a very cruel man. To intentionally and consistently humiliate someone is abusive to say the least but it does seem she got away with murder!

[@jonem9211]

What a beautiful ending ❤️ someone should of bought her a beer afterwards, seriously though that would of been a great film more so in those days when that was a hush hush. We love your story's can't wait for more content😉🥰

[@spyhippo2736]

Yeah and had it been a man killing a woman for infidelity you would be singing the opposite tune. It was murder and the ugly beginning of the blatant bias we see towards women in every court in the West.

[@termsofusepolice]

Amazing to see so many comments from people who consider this verdict just. Wow. Hopefully her children, in their adulthood, condemned her for so selfishly taking their father from them. Understanding a motive for murder is one thing. Refusing to convict a murderer on the basis of their motive quite another.

[@spacecowgurl57]

Bravo!

[@catherinejohnson2235]

AND! Never cut or tamper with your mustaches. They are epic.

[@RideoutMr]

In cases like this I always wonder what happened to the children....surely she did not take them with her when she left. In those days women were considered "property" & husbands the Lords of the family...cases like this were much more common & not only in France. "Crime of Passion", so they say.

[@mmickle6191]

Love this channel, even though it feels odd not to have "on yer bike" to close on hehe

[@madisonm.4535]

Her husband sounded like a prick and a horrible husband. She still killed him so she's guilty, the not guilty verdict doesn't seem quite right but honestly her husband was abusive and she seemed trapped in a situation she didn't have an easy way out, especially in that time period so I empathize. She's still guilty though. She never did hurt anyone else though or make a habit of any criminal activity so it didn't really become an issue that she got off.

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Yes kudos to the narrative and dispatch of the host of this program He found his niche

[@preciousbell4573]

I like your narration and correct grammar and diction. Brilliant. I haven’t noticed incorrect grammar influenced by a lot of Americans, so far.

[@cristyanesantana]

I think I've watched a movie like this once, about a pastor's wife or something.... very interesting btw

[@OREL]

well done french court, really surprising verdict, salutations to the court (I'm a man btw )

[@jwv6985]

Love it. I wish this verdict was possible today. Cheating spouses cause a huge amount of pain, mental, and financial damage to their spouses, and just walk away to live their new lives, leaving their partner to suffer. Like Chris Rock would say, "Im not saying she should have done it, but I understand!" 😂
