Talk:Rebecca Copin

Excusing
"The all-male jury also did not address any of the factors that may have led Rebecca Copin to attempt to murder John Copin, which was typical in this era when domestic violence against women was legal"

This sounds rather tired exculpation  ---  which could be applied to anything one wishes to invent regarding any past case  ---  of the 'love the criminal : hate the crime' variety'. There can never be any excuse for pouring boiling water on any being.

Besides which the USA was, from at least the 18th century on, the most generous legally and socially to women out of all countries in the world, past and present. Sometimes to the point of maudlin sentimentality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claverhouse (talk • contribs) 20:53, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
