Wow the guy got 36 years. That sure is not Canada where you get the max of 25 years for first degree murder.

It said in the video that she had a black father and white mother (or the opposite), if that makes a difference for racial score-keeping.
I only watched the first three minutes, when all he did was yell at her, but they kept referring to it as "violence". It is bad to yell at your spouse, but to call that violence diminuizes real violence.

No, later in the video they showed that it was much more than yelling. She was beaten with a belt, and had numerous bruises on her from other acts of physical violence.
I never understood guys that get off on the whole domination thing. Like the porn site meatholes and facialabuse - how can you get off on guys making fools of the girls? I know some girls and guys like it rough, but I never met anyone normal that got off on degredation and/or verbal abuse. It's a growing trend in porn.
If you make a statement like that, you should watch the entire video. While it did not show the severe beatings, he strangled her, threw her to the ground and hit her. Also there were photos of her after being beaten at other times, suffering a ruptured ear drum, cut on her head and more.C Dick said:
At the end, when she had finally decided to leave him, when she did not bring her son home on time, he threatened to kill her.
I guess that makes 3 of us. What's up Stinky?Esco! said:But I do wonder about the thread title
These things happen in white families too you know.
Sorry, I wasn't really thinking when I posted the title. I just wanted it to be as descriptive as possible. To me, the race part just kind of stuck out, like in the OJ Simpson case. But you're right, I guess I should have left it out.Back Burner said:
The real question is, if a white man had beaten a black woman, would it receive the same media attention?
The yelling and name calling is how it starts. it always starts with name calling and yelling.C Dick said:
I grew up with it, and I lived it, and I refuse to go back to it.

I can't watch the video since I don't have a youtube account, but I think I remember seeing this on 20/20 a while back. he told his son to film it, and the son never even objected to what was happening to his mother.
