Super sad case. She tried to kill him to ease his suffering. If he’d been on the record supporting her decision, I think the sentence would have been very different. And she lost him to natural causes anyway. 😞
I’m not sure she did it to ease his suffering as opposed to just couldn’t hack it any more. But yeah, the system failed this couple hugely
Usually a news article of someone trying to kill their spouse will paint the aggressor as a horrible person, and the victim as someone who had everything going for them and did no wrong.
Imagine copping dementia and then getting written up as a fucking burden on the person who tried to off you against your will.
What a cruel joke. Violent criminals get shorter sentences for far worse crimes.
It’s considered cruel to let an animal suffer, and mercy to put it out of its misery. But a human? Sorry, you gotta suffer for as long as it takes.
