Make sure never to leave firearms and sharp knives around women.

A good reason they shouldn't be elected President of the United States with access to the nuclear button. :Eek:

Pretty sure Hilary could figure out how to kill Bill without using the bomb.

The "Internet Black Widow" is still trying to kill husbands at age 77. The abuse excuse (just like playing the race card or torture) is often (but not always) just another invention by defense lawyers used to protect guilty clients.

"Most weren't abused?" Among those where it was known whether there was a history of abuse or not, more were abused than not. You only get "most weren't abused" if you assume that most of the not known cases were no abuse cases. Since presumably these murders were investigated, it's kind of strange that there are so many "not known" cases, and since they don't say what would put a case in the "not known" category, it seems unsafe to speculate about what the "not known" cases are like.
