A Woman’s Inalienable Right To Murder?

On January 7, 2010 the Associated Press released a story titled “Maine woman avoids prison for killing of husband”.

What is important about this case are not the details — admittedly unattractive — but the essential legal principle established by Waldo County Superior Court Justice Jeffrey Hjelm. Judge Hjelm established the legal precedent that any woman based on her own internal and unverifiable thoughts and feelings has the right to murder any man and suffer no legal consequences. In short, women and women alone have the right to be judge, jury, and executioner.

The woman, Amber Cummings, using a Battered-Woman Defense, did not testify which would have subjected her to cross-examination. Rather, testimony in her defense was provided by a Psychologist and various other mental health “experts.” Writing as a Psychologist, I can assure all interested parties that among Psychologists and other mental health “experts” there are a very large number who would welcome the opportunity to construct testimony on behalf of a Battered-Woman Defense based on feminist ideology. To judge for yourself whether or not Amber Cummings is a battered woman incapable of any alternative other than murdering her husband, see her interview following the trial here.

What is most critically at issue, however, is whether justice for the crime of murder is to be determined by feminist jurisprudence (the Battered-Woman Defense) or by behavior. In this case the behavior was a woman firing two bullets into the head of a sleeping man.

To fully understand the double standards inherent in feminist jurisprudence one simply has to reverse the genders. Would any judge ruling in a case where a man fired two bullets into the head of a sleeping woman free the man with no criminal penalties?

I don’t know if Judge Hjelm is married but if he is and were his wife to fire two bullets into his head while he slept, it would be ironic justice for his wife to be freed by the subsequent Judge on her case on the basis of her husband’s own ruling.

More importantly, this case establishes a precedent that all men and all women who love men and want a man in their lives should oppose and seek to overturn. Were the core principle established by Judge Hjelm to be retained, we would be a society living under the rule of gender rather than a society living under the rule of law.

    Women are NOT so victimized as they make out. Don’t forget, in the UK we lived for 11 years onder the dictatorial reign of PM Margaret Thatcher, whose winnership over the Falklands secured her 2 more terms in office.

    I don’t have a comment other than,this is 1 of my favorite sites that speaks up against feminist and their clouded veiws.You men are lucky,if you notice 1 you can walk away.I have 2 feminazi’s in my family,and they sought at a young age to teach me against the ”supposed” MANY evil’s of men.Now,it could have have been i came from generations of Christian stay at home mom’s,and loving,devoted,firm,caring father’s.But as you can tell NONE of their lesson’s took. :-)

    Men aren’t valued in society.

    A core part of why starts with the extent to which fathers are viewed as paychecks instead of as parents.

  • SMills

    Abuse is abuse, whether it be a man hitting a woman, a woman hitting a man, a woman hitting a woman, a man hitting a man, a child victimizing a parent, a parent abusing a child, a capable adult tormenting a person with disabilities. Abuse is abuse. There should be NO exception. Abuse should always, always also be reported.

    Men are 8 to 9 times less likely to report abuse by a female partner, than a female is. When a man leaves his female abuser, the chance of homicide is double what it would be for a woman leaving her male abuser.

    I know the statistics. I worked in homicide. I worked in specialties of LGBT homicide, child homicide and intimate partner homicide. I’ve been an advocate to the court for abused persons. We are a blind and pathetic society to not realize the abuse all around us. I believe in creating strong and healthy people (not just a feminist stint of creating strong women). We need to create and solid, caring, stable society…all persons deserve to be treated well and all persons deserve to be safe in their own home.

    Also, our criminal justice system is corrupt. It does NOT work for the victim. In fact, most times it works in the favor of the criminal. Big shock that I’ve started my own business and left our “system” behind. The bigger picture is that our system fails people, mostly victims (children especially), every single day. It does not work, it is corrupt with faults in every single aspect. The bigger picture is that we as a society need to work on creating a more caring, solid, stable societal environment.

    So then we can turn the genders around and say a man has a right to end his nagging wife’s misery also? Nagging is a form of abuse. It’s psychological torment.

    Funny how quick a woman will believe any allegation of abuse or rape if it’s aimed at a man.

    Sorry, but I’m totally understanding of what this woman did after so many years of psychological and physical abuse. Her mind snapped, his was already gone. He reminds me of that insane serial killer in the cable TV series, “Dexter”. How he terrorized his wife and kids. She put an
    end to the torment. Perhaps she had tried to run away, to find a safe haven, but to no avail. Compassion, empathy are important here, to imagine yourself as a woman living in that nightmare. And frankly, she rid the world of a horrendous human being, he was a total waste of space. And he may R.I.P. whereas she will suffer the emotional and psychological damage for the rest of her living life.
    Good riddens to him.

    You have hit the nail on the head. Although I wrote about the hidden feminist agenda, in reality, this agenda is just being used by the real powers and they are using the feminsit to obtain their goals. Once obtained, the feminist will be just as expendable as we are.

    I contend that the VAWA, health care, global warming, the economic cirisis which was delibertly caused are all intended to lead up to this goal….a major reduction in world population and a one world goverment. Of course, men will make up the largest part of this reduction in populiation.

    Ok folks it very simply … really , the terrorist who run this country have a simple plan. Give women all the rights, hold them accountable for nothing. A man is a piece of trash, run over us , kill us and disrespect us. Letting this murdering bitch go is part of the plan, why if they started holding women accountable in any way, their little plan would go kaboom, it would blow up in their faces. If women start getting punished for killing men, why pretty soon they might even be getting held accountable for the serious social destruction they cause by wrecking marriages and running off with a mans kids. Why… pretty soon we would have law and order, piece and security. There would be no need for the state beauracrats and their biased laws. Pretty soon kids would have two parents and all the dumb little girl would not get pregnant quit as often and little boys would not get into trouble with the law. Why a whole bunch of our deserving public servants might have to get a real job and the ones the do keep their cushy little jobs would not have as much power and control as they are used to having, they might have to start acting like they know who they work for! We can’t have any of that !!!!

    “and off course, some man thinks he’s doing the right thing by letting her free”

    The correct term is not “man,” rather, MANGYNA!

  • Bruno

    All the arguments she gives as a reason for her to kill him (violent abuser, 3 times murderer, pedophile, dirty bomb builder..) are actually more than enough to put him behind bars just after she would report him to the police, if they were true.
    So that doesn’t make any sense at all.
    This woman is clearly totally crazy, and off course, some man thinks he’s doing the right thing by letting her free…

    @ syndromia

    “1. Law enforcement doesn’t take domestic violence as seriously as it should be, whether men or women are the victims.”

    Law enforcement takes DV very seriously- that is if you are a woman calling them. The VAWA turbo pumps money into state and local police departments for training and resources. Local prosecutors are always hard up to win points from the women votes. It is a fantasy to suggest that police around the country are ambivalent about the issue.

    “2. Domestic violence tends to emerge during already difficult or dangerous times. For example, according to our local domestic violence group, 40% of domestic violence against a woman occurs during her first pregnancy. Holidays are triggers as well, for abusers of both genders”

    I believe this is true. But just because you are going through a tough time it doesn’t mean that you have the right to put two bullets into the back of your husband’s head while he is sleeping.

    “3. I don’t’ know the statistics of how long it takes a man to get out of a bad relationship, but it takes a woman on average seven times. Leaving is also the most dangerous time as this is when it is most likely that the abuser will turn deadly.”

    There are virtually no statistics on the amount of time it takes for a man to leave a relationship because virtually nobody cares to do any research on that subject. The whole D.V. debate is dominated by the “male is always perpetrator, female is always victim” crowd, many of whom you can see in the video linked to this article. Yes abusers turn deadly at the ending of a relationship so let’s note who was doing the killing here-AMBER CUMMINGS! Was he contemplating ending the relationship? We will never know for sure will we?

    “4. With minimal sentencing and the difficulty of leaving (at this point you are isolated with little access to friends, family, money)”

    Here is the thing that I just don’t understand about this particular case. He was supposedly a Neo-Nazi who intended to build a dirty bomb. She was certainly cognizant enough of this fact to use it as a defense during her trial so why didn’t she just call the FBI. I can assure you that would have gotten him out of the picture real quick, but she chose not to do that. Why? She didn’t take the stand in her defense and perhaps wisely so. I would have been interested to see just who bought those materials and when.

    “Statistically speaking if a man shoots his wife when he finds out she’s cheating he has a higher chance of getting manslaughter rather than murder than she would if the situation was reversed.”

    At face value this is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard. Everything that I have learned about the matter tells me that the opposite is true. Please give me some government cited stats and prove me wrong.

  • Rodney

    Does domestic violence get a bad name because lawyers and the media create certian expectations?

    Maybe the choices are raise the standards from mutual battery and/or provocation to habitual abuse to meet those expectations. Assault is assault, regardless of where it happens or who it happens to and criminal proceeds do apply without the need of exception.

    Didn’t know about the pregnacy thing… personally I’d label it under mutual battery and provocation. Thank you for the honesty and awareness always helps.

  • jjtaup

    We have drifted and continue to drift ever further from the bedrock principles of having to produce objective, verifiable evidence to find one guilty of any of a menagerie of thought crimes. If there is anyone mentally sick it is we the sheeple.

  • syndromia

    Oops! Lets try that again, shall we?

    1. Law enforcement doesn’t take domestic violence as seriously as it should be, whether men or women are the victims.

    2. Domestic violence tends to emerge during already difficult or dangerous times. For example, according to our local domestic violence group, 40% of domestic violence against a woman occurs during her first pregnancy. Holidays are triggers as well, for abusers of both genders

    3. I don’t’ know the statistics of how long it takes a man to get out of a bad relationship, but it takes a woman on average seven times. Leaving is also the most dangerous time as this is when it is most likely that the abuser will turn deadly.

    4. With minimal sentencing and the difficulty of leaving (at this point you are isolated with little access to friends, family, money)

    If you can’t leave on your own, and the people who should be helping aren’t, what do you do? Killing is wrong and battered person syndrome(the correct name, men have been diagnosed too) doesn’t justify the action, but to be trapped like that with no way out and the abuser is too strong during the day? If I was in that situation I’d pull the trigger while he’s sleeping too.

    And as for the injustice of her possibly getting not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect where a man wouldn’t? Statistically speaking if a man shoots his wife when he finds out she’s cheating he has a higher chance of getting manslaughter rather than murder than she would if the situation was reversed.

    1. An unfortunate truth is that law enforcement doesn’t take domestic abuse very seriously. Which means many things

  • Jim

    In the united States a man’s life is worth less than a dogs….actually far far far less.

    Look at Michael Vick the sentence he got vs. this lady.

    And what is even more sick is when you read the comments the vast majority of people commenting think that her killing her husband was great.

  • faultroy

    I think the author and the commentors are missing the point. This is really both a judicial and psychological issue. The question is: Is there such a thing as battered women’s syndrome? The answer appears to be yes. There is also a double standard with respect to minorities. For example if there is such a thing as road rage, a minority could (and has ) argued that the “system,” has been so repressive as to cause him or her to do this. We saw an example of this with the famous president/burglary/cop incident at the beginning of last year.
    The cop wound up looking like the bad guy.
    Rather than merely comment about the dishonesty and innate unfairness of the situaition, I would like to know what proactive steps we can take to either mitigate this or eleminate it altogether. That would mean for example the author informing us what we can do to contact various psychological associations to file complaints about the syndrome’s validity.

    A woman was “persecuted” if not prosecuted for saying that while breast feeding she got turned on. Old news. Is that akin to child porn? And is this guy – maybe I missed something – filming children, abusing children, or living in a world of fantasy.

    Are we going to put two bullets into a man’s head for having inappropriate erotic thoughts while a mother who puts cigarette butts on her childs skin is seen as less offensive?

    Ray is right, every man in America as a target on him and other men are holding him in position for feminist to shoot him down. They came for Jews but I am not a Jew … There are a million mothers and fathers abusing children and no one is suggesting killing them but thinking of abuse, whoa, lets castrate, hang and burn him.

    We executed a woman in Florida years ago – pretty, white and born again. Some suggested that was proof that when women kill we treat them just like a man. But it was more about the image of her in court when she admitted that as she hit that women with a pick, repeatedly, she felt a sexual thrill. Such a male image of sex, penetrating, sexual, that’s the reason she was killed.

    We live in a culture that shames men sexually and bashes boys and men for sexual issues – so a man “thinking” about sex with children, is that what he did, looked at images? Creepy, but until we can prove that thoughts and images lead to or cause crimes I am not sure that in a country that values free speech (If it doesn’t offend it doesn’t need proptection) that we can say , ya, just kill him.

    I have worked with teens who were sexually abused at children and I wanted to kill the perps. But we have courts, thats where such decisions should be made, not by women and not by one who may be lying.

  • Steve Jones

    Mary Winkler did the exact same thing and got the exact same result. you don’t mention who this woman’s attorney is or are, but in Mary Winkler’s case the two most expensive criminal defense attorneys in Memphis were mysteriously hired by an anonymous benefactor before anything about why she did what she did was even known. Rumor has it that the Office of Violence Against Women at the DOJ is behind these women’s expensive defense attorneys, hiring them using the $10 billion allocated to them by Congress courtesy of the Violence Against Women Act. All of my attempts to determine whether or not this is actually happening have thus far been thwarted by members of Congress who refuse to discuss it.

    $10 billion can buy a lot of murdering women’s freedom.

    By the way, the jury foreman in the Mary Winkler case said after the trial that the jury was stacked with women from the start, and that 9 or the 10 women on the jury wanted to let her go before they trial had even begun and before they had heard a single word about what actually happened. That’s how bad the misandric sexism has become in America.

  • Phillip

    Just as alarming as the judge being a sexual bigot is that 80% of those voting on the webpage thought she was in the right and/or should not serve any time for this murder with 20% saying she should serve time. Of course that is not a scientific poll but scary none the less.

  • http://news.mensactivism.org Mike Hunter


    If this man actually DID involve himself with child pornography, then justice was done….That, right there gets the death penalty in my book.

    Yea because we all know murderers never lie bout the people they murder, or; the situation in which it occurred. If this man was involved in CP then she could have easily reported him to the police, and once he was sent to jail the inmates would have taken care of him.

  • Rodney

    Inexcusable considering the access women have to get themselves out of those situations. If anything, she probably should expect a longer then average sentence.

  • http://www.shatterdmen.com shattered men

    Whenever I see things like “I was going to kill myself but then…” I wonder if this is a ploy to gain sympathy for the crimes they have committed. It is interesting that she said her husband was mentally ill, she said, and she didn’t want people to be angry with him but she shot him twice while he slept? I am sure she was not angry with him. It sounds like this man did need help, not execution.

    As to the battered-woman defense, I personally do not think this should hold water anymore as there are battered women shelters in almost every city. There would be many legal ways of dealing with this situation. For one, if she had told the police about his feelings about the president, I assure you the FBI would be there almost before she could hang up the phone.

    I do notice that all the blame is placed upon him now that he can not defend himself but in reality, it sounds like they were co-dependent.

  • Mr. J

    All I’m saying is that if he ACTUALLY did, thats all…..maybe he was set up.

  • rohara

    @Mr Jay

    We will never know for sure whether or not he DID engage in child pronography because the man was murdered before he could defend himself on ANY charges. We are getting the whole story about his activities from the one who murdered him.
    I am highly scepticle of this womans claims that this man was a terrorist as well as the materials that she could have placed in the home in order to give herself credibility in court. It all seems too easy for her. I think that the FBI should do a full investigation on the materials, where they came from and who actualy procured them. I wouldn’t be supprised at all if it ended up being that this woman collected the materials herself.

  • http://www.shatterdmen.com shattered men

    Mr J…..NO ONE has the right to take the law into their own hands.

    The United States Constitution tells us we have the right to a fair trial and that we are innocent until proven guilty. What Dr. Finley is showing us is that women are being given the right to take the law into their own hands and then tell us why the person (almost always a male) needed to be executed. He was not able to defend himself just as Matt Winkler could not defend himself when Mary shot him in much the same fashion and got away with premediated murder!

  • Mr. J

    If this man actually DID involve himself with child pornography, then justice was done….That, right there gets the death penalty in my book.

    The only way for a man to survive is to live under the illusion of “it won’t happen to me.”

    THis is true with respect to violence by women such as here.

    This is also true with respect to many other issues such as rape allegations, child molestation allegations, etc. and of course divorce.

    This is “won’t happen to me” mentality of course is stupid.

    I know it can happen to me (the divorce one did including the related DV allegation thing). Men must realize it “can happen to me.”

    The divorce thing has been happening to at least half probably more than half of men for many years (many of these men innocent).

    Divorce is bad and involves tremendous pain particularly when there are children. But, divorce is far less destructive than things like two bullets in the head, rape allegation, child molestation allegation, etc.

    I know a man who killed himself after he was accused of child molestation. This woman had made many false allegations (some provable). I warned him that eventually she would hit him with the big one. He couldn’t see it. They remarried and divorced several times, etc. His last marriage to her lasted less than a month.

    Women are a very dangerous thing for men. Should a man simply assume the risk? Perhaps, but it should be done very carefully. The problem is that a man has so little control. A woman can do these things regardless of how carefully a man acts. A man’s only real protection is to choose a woman wisely. I am not sure it is really even possible to know how a woman will act over the decades.
