I know that relationship always goes both ways, both partners needs be loyal, faithful, understand each other. But just by looking at this case ,the way he discouraged her after she got her first job in treasury, he was totally a loser. Instead of encouraging her to have a successful career, he gets jealous and threatened her. Such a coward, stupid, loser guy..... And she glows like a flower. Her smile can light up everything around her and makes everyone happy around her.

About as much as anyones sexual history has to do with anything. I think the lawyer may have been implying that she slept around to taunt him. But it doesn't work if the sleeping around happens when your split up. I had an ex that broke up with me, and got pissed off that I hooked up with another woman, after the break up. She thought that breaking it off with me was a punishment and that I would beg to have her back. Instead I thought bullet fucking dodged. This is a sad one though, cause she was in the clear gone, new life then er mom not knowing better brought the monster back in and she died one of the most horrifying deaths someone can die.

If you find yourself in a toxic relationship, find the strength to leave. Having been through a couple the past few years myself, it’s best to just walk away. One was straight up toxic and we brought out the worst in each other arguing all the time, the other strung me along for months until she cheated on me and broke it off trying to pretend she did nothing wrong and trying to stay friends with me until I discovered the truth and cut her out for good. Luckily it didn’t get worse, it fucking hurts but at least it’s over and done with. Staying with someone not good for you is so damaging and hurtful emotionally and mentally. When you see red flags, run and don’t look back.
@MadCatLady28 Жыл бұрын
The biggest lesson from this case was to illustrate how dangerous it was when she DID leave. He used a defense in court called "provocation" which was supposed to reduce his culpability for murder. Essentially, his argument was that she knew he was a narcissist and had provoked him by ending the relationship. Normally that defense would be used by someone who has beaten someone to death they caught fiddling their child, for example. It was an absolutely disgusting use of that defense, and that particular defense was removed from the Crimes Act afterwards, if I remember rightly.

He didn't deserve her. It hurts me to see that such a beautiful, bubbly, gorgeous and charismatic girl's life was taken away. He is a loser. He should have been proud and grateful to have such a beautiful , gorgeous and understanding partner like her. God create women to be loved, adored, and taken care of like a delicate flower. I know that relationship always goes both ways, both partners needs be loyal, faithful, understand each other. But just by looking at this case ,the way he discouraged her after she got her first job in treasury, he was totally a loser. Instead of encouraging her to have a successful career, he gets jealous and threatened her. Such a coward, stupid, loser guy..... And she glows like a flower. Her smile can light up everything around her and makes everyone happy around her.

How DARE they let these defense attorneys ask her loved ones about Sophie's sex life. It's irrelevant. She could have screwed a guy in front of him while telling him he had a tiny penis and her new partner was a sex god and it would still be IRRELEVANT TO HIS MURDERING HER. This is akin to asking what she was wearing. It's freaking disgusting.

I thought the same thing! However, there’s a lot of ppl out there who would sympathize with him for being cheated on so many times. And anything else they can say to make her look bad makes it seem like he’s a victim as well. They’re basically trying to paint the picture that she drove him to snap and lose it one day. While that’s obv not an excuse for murder, it makes a lot of ppl more understanding esp if they’ve been cheated on or abused and wanted revenge. But ya, it’s a common theme that defense attorneys do, cuz ppl tend to SLIGHTLY sympathize with a killer if the person they killed was their abuser. It’s sad tho cuz the victim isn’t there to defend themselves 😢

He and I became good friends at the start and got along, but as the weeks went on, he would make jokes that made me feel uncomfortable, he would tease and make fun of the things I was passionate about, and when I finally tried to stand up for myself, he would completely shove it off. This man made me go into not one, but two mental breakdowns. Like a lot of narcs, he wouldn't take responsibility, and made lies about me, how I was obsessive, wanted to cause drama, ect.

Hi from New Zealand! Just to add, Sophie’s mum died a few weeks ago from Parkinson’s and the charity she set up was shut down in 2019 as her disease made it too difficult for her to continue with. Clayton is due for parole in just 5 years and unfortunately in NZ most murderers normally do get patrolled quite easily due to the restorative justice system we have as opposed to punitive.

Women get with men that abuse them, ignore the good guys and then blame all men for their poor choices. They cheat, they lie, they hate and then blame men when there is backlash. This man was a piece of crap, I'm not defending this trash that should have gotten the death penalty but to equate him to other men is an evil and stupid thing to do. Your prejudice and sexism doesn't help the world, it only creates more people just like him. Anyone, man or woman should live a life of dignity and respect for others regardless of their gender, skin color or religion. We should strive for peace with each other and treat everyone with love. We should live a life of morals and not lie and cheat. If the man were the one killed and he had cheated and this was the same defense I bet you wouldn't say a word about it. You don't care if the same thing happens to a man do you? Because these kinds of defenses are used against men as well to portray them as the problem when they were the victim as well. I've seen a lot of cases and the same thing happens to both genders. Only a sexist makes it about the sex of the person. You need to look at yourself and evaluate why you hate good men for what bad men have done and if you want men to blame you for what bad women have done.

Sophie was the same age as me and people I know were her friends even though I never met her myself. I am now a mature student and frequently visit her tree which was planted in her memory at the beautiful university of Otago campus. She was a beautiful, driven and extremely intelligent young woman who had many good things in store for her future. And the way the perpetrator acted in court was a disgusting abomination. One of her brothers said he cannot remember or think of his little sister without remembering how she died 😢 a couple of weeks ago her mother Lesley died and all I could think was thank goodness she is finally at rest after what she went through.

Hi Adrian thank you for covering another case from New Zealand. I am from Wellington, the capital of NZ. This was a horrendous case. Poor Sophie. He was an ugly person both inside and out and she was a beautiful soul. I pray that he never gets let out into the public, he is a very dangerous man.

It’s the New Zealand liberal lawmakers. “Life without parole …for 18 years lol” life without parole in the US usually means forever. Everyone I hear or a NZ story it always seems like 15 or so years. Crazy.

It always is bone chilling when you hear the murderer laugh and smerk during the trial. It is at this moment you know he is capable of such heinous acts and in a care free manner.

As far as I know, and I'm in Portugal, there's only one person ever convicted of life with no parole in NZ and even that one is living in a state farm, roaming around 'free' taking care of animals and farm life. I don't care what people say, but there is a connection between harsher sentences and less violent crimes. This 'person' should never, ever get out of prison and he will.

Although the stories you tell are sad and horrific in most cases, I enjoy that you always manage to shoot a dig at guilty party! Makes me smile
