Woman Poisons Husband in Plot to Steal His Mom’s Money, Is Convicted, and Her Husband Says…

…she needs help. Standing on the court steps he said:

“I think she needs some serious help and I hope she gets it.”

I think men should be chivalrous and protective of women to a point, but it seems like whenever a woman does something horrible like this to a man, he makes excuses for her and is such a goddamned lemming that I wonder why I bother being a men’s advocate. This guy isn’t as bad as some, but the “she tried to kill me, let’s try to understand how she feels” stuff is rather weak. 

According to the BBC’s Woman Who Poisoned Husband Jailed (5/9/08):

“A conwoman who tried to poison her husband with rat killer and anti-depressant tablets has been jailed by a judge at York Crown Court.

“Heather Mook, 58, of Heslington Road, York, will be detained for at least five years as a result of the judge giving her an indeterminate sentence.

“Mook gave her fourth husband, John, the poison to confuse him as she fleeced his mother out of £43,000.

“The judge said she was being jailed for the protection of the public.

“The court heard that as part of her ploy to confuse her husband she mixed rat poison with his spaghetti as she set about stealing his mother’s life savings, money earmarked for her care.”

    Why is it that when a battered woman behaves like this she’s a victim, but when a man does it he’s a wimp?
