Tracy Denise Roberson 2 to 20 Years...Hoping for the max.
If people have not heard the latest story about infidelity and murder, in a three day trial, Tracy Denise Roberson, age 37 was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. She was caught in a truck, scantly clad, with her lover by her husband. She told her husband that she had been raped by her lover and her husband fired four shots into the truck killing the woman's lover (yes there was proof that she had called her lover over to the house for sex). She faces 2 to 20 years for this incident, and I hope she gets the maximum.
The persecutors did a great job in my opinion...The defense was trying to blame the husband for the murder, trying to show he has a temper...Temper or no temper, my wife tells me someone raped her, the police better find that person before I do. I bet they would not have said that if that was their wife. Like one would take the words of a stranger over their spouses (of course this is barring the fact that certain past failings warrant disbelief). I am with the persecutor in that, the wife is the ultimate villainess in this tale, while the lover got what he deserved (in my opinion, it does not matter if it is just yelled at or murdered, whatever pain and suffering comes from one's willing wrongful acts is richly deserved).
Now if I were the parents of this man, I would sue her for wrongful death. Hopefully the husband is filling for divorce. And if they have kids, he needs to prevent her from having access to them EVER AGAIN (there are few cases where I believe a parent should not have contact or shared custody of a child/children, this is one of the times I think it is justified).
This is just my opinion. What are some of your thoughts and opinions? What do you think you would have done if you were in the spouse's shows? While think morally and ethically justice was served to this lover, I do feel sad in his death because ultimately, it was the Tracy Robinson's lie that caused his death, how do you feel about these guy's murder? Is there ANY time a person have the right to use lethal force, before he or she either tries to detain a person (i.e. having a weapon to hold them in a spot until police arrive) or find non-lethal actions to defined house home and family? And what do you think about the verdict? Who is the one who should really be blamed and imprisoned for this death?

Harsh I may be, but it is only matched by my ability to love and forgive as well.
I don't know the story so I'll have to google it. I guess it shows that people really crazy things when pushed past their emotional limit when betrayal happens (even if it was covered up by her lies of rape.)
I feel for those kids, they're the ones who are going to suffer and need therapy for a long long time...
I've heard about this story when it first broke a long time ago.
The thing is she gets what she deserved. She called him over, and didnt think she was gonna get caught, she panicked when she saw her husband apporaching, she cried rape on the OM, Husband pulls out gun in defense of wife, H shoots the OM. By texas law Husband was probably within the rights to defend his family and home. What got her convicted was that she lied about the whole situation.
The OM and the cheating ho of a Wife deserve what they get. These are only one of those cautionary tales to stop people from cheating with married people, or just stop cheating period!!!

I remember this story. She lied to save herself obviously. That lie destroyed her family, OM's family (family of origin and/or wife and children), placed her Husband in legal jeopardy and ruined her reputation forever. No matter how long her prison sentence, she will never live this down and it will follow her for the remainder of her life.
One big lie led to a huge catastrophe and so many destroyed lives. I despise women who cry Rape without cause and this is another good example.
On a related note, did you hear of the Shawna Louise Nelson case? She was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison for killing her married lover's wife. She was also married and had given birth to her lover's son. She dragged both her Husband and best friend into this sordid mess; her Husband attempted to hide evidence (removing the gun from her vehicle), her best friend has been convicted as an accessory to the crime.
Yeah I remember that. These are the kind of stories I use to hopefully get people to understand just how dangerous affairs can be and being the other person does not give one a free pass. This was so sad. And personally I, if I were the parents of the murdered woman, I would be suing the husband for wrongful death, pain and suffering, and a slue of other offenses. But, you know what, these probably aren't legal option because of how we don't hold people accountable for affairs.

The family would have to sue Shawna Louise Nelson to get to the murdered woman's Husband. I am afraid it wouldn't be worth it unless SLN has substantial assets. She was sentenced to life in prison and I don't think she will be getting rich off the wages in there.
On the other hand, there is the potential of future book and movie royalties and, I suppose, a fairly good chance of it happening with this case. This woman had her lover's name tattooed on her ankle whilst she was actively married! So the family could sue to to make sure they have a legal claim to any future royalties paid to the murderer.
I am sorry the guy died, but I think she should be in jail. And no one does deserve to die, but that is one of the possible outcomes of any wrong doing. The wages of sin is death. One way or the other.
And what do you think about the verdict? Who is the one who should really be blamed and imprisoned for this death?
I wasn't familiar with the story, but the article I read, said that her lover was trying to escape, and then the husband shot him.
In this scenario, I do not blame the husband. His wife was crying rape and the guy, who the husband has to believe is a rapist, tries to escape. In this situation, I believe the use of a firearm can be seen as a proportional response.
The guy who got shot is responsible for having an affair with a married woman and putting himself in a situation that could be misunderstood, but he already paid for his involvement in the affair.
The wife is responsible for having the affair, she is responsible for getting into this akward situation and she is responsible for making her busband believe that she was being raped. I don't care how much time she spends in prison, the important thing is that she does time in prison and everybody knows now what kind of person she is.
It would have been different if the husband came home and caught his wife and the lover in the bedroom with his wife yelling "oh yeah, **** me harder". In such a scenario, I hope that he could not have shot an unarmed man without being convicted of murder.
That being said, I am not sure the husband feels terrible for shooting the lover of his wife. In my opinion it worked out great for him. The lover is dead, his cheating wife is going to jail and he has done nothing wrong. Good for him.

We have very strict gun control laws over here (Germany), so that makes the use of lethal force less likely. If you don't have a firearm, killing another human being becomes a lot more difficult, both mentally and physically.
As long as you apply the proportionality principle and come to the conclusion that lethal force is what is needed to defend yourself or others, then I don't have a problem with using lethal force as a last resort.
I dunno, seems to me that screwing someone's wife right in the driveway is profoundly stupid and asking... no... begging to be shot. Might as well lay down in the middle of a dark country road on a foggy night. If you do something THAT stupid, are you a victim or a suicide?

But he still killed the guy. He could have beat the crap out of him, or called 911.

There was an incident here in NY where a couple stopped a guy from raping a woman and he shot all three of them. He wound up killing the man and woman and the last thing I heard was that the victim survived. The point to my saying this is that, sometimes you don't have time to think. Sometimes you don't know what the other person has. And so, he had to make a split decision. Very few rapists are caught after their first offense, and he could of did the community a big favor. Perfect example, this case where this same rapist has now escalated to entering homes, kidnapping, and killing his victims. So, yeah, one may never know and it is sometimes about that split decision.
