    Exactly. The story is pretty fresh and Houston media is pretty terrible at reporting the news. I think calling the woman a "stupid b****" is pretty ridiculous.

    Not funny but this reminds me of Ronnie on Jersey Shore yelling:

    One shot kid one shot one shot!

    OK...I'll take back the "stupid b****."

    note: i'm not really going by the chronicle. It's the people who commented. I'm treating some of them as eye-witness, at least to the part of her asking to be escorted. As I've seen comments by people claiming to have been there. Sure, it's a comment to an article by someone who I am trusting as being there, but if the person was a cfnet member saying the same thing, I'd trust them. And if they are accurate, then it infuriates me to the point of calling her a stupid b**** for likely helping continue a cycle of violence by standing by him.

    For hitting a guy? I'd give him 10 years.

    Who is this guy? The killer or the victim?
    BTW, is Laura the woman in the story? I thought the woman and the killer are divorced?

    rage, Laura is the wife...the woman who the teacher escorted out to her car.

    You don't have to believe intend to do murder, only intend to do serious bodily harm resulting in death. Here is one of the ways 1st and 2nd degree murder are defined/qualified:

    "intends to cause serious bodily injury and commits an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual;" straight from the Texas Penal Code

    It becomes 2nd degree if you can prove an act of passion. It pretty much comes down to the definition of "serious bodily injury" vs mere "bodily injury," which are both defined in the penal code and will be presented to the jury as the definition they must use.

    manslaughter specifically states "recklessness." ie, no intention to do bodily harm.

    I'm pretty sure if you punch a woman in a passionate rage and she falls and hits her head on the coffee table and dies, you are going to get charged with 2nd degree murder, not manslaughter. this is the very same thing. Do you agree with that?

    Need to find more articles on this subject for Texas, but here is a case in Boise where a man was only charged with manslaughter after killing someone with a punch.

    It's pretty hard to keep up if 3 posts contradict one another!

    Corpus Christi case

    http://www.caller.com/news/2010/dec/08/defendant-murder-trial-testifies-punch-was-self-de/

    1st Degree Murder. For a fight at a restaurant. One punch.

    And note: the guy we are talking about was allegedly stalking his wife and waiting in the parking lot. Clearly he had intention to punch as hard as possible.

    I'll bet you this will be charged murder vs manslaughter.

    Like I say, if you punch a woman in a passionate rage and she dies from hitting her head, you're being charged with murder. How is this different.

    note last paragraph in that article I posted...

    "Besides murder, the jury also can consider the lesser charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide."
