Legally this will depend on the exact mechanics of the law and the details of what happened that night, but I definitely see a strong case for her to walk.

Morally she should be let free (and given a metal).

I wonder if self defense is the right legal argument for the charges of burning down the house and taking the car.

That would be the third and fourth shot.  ;)

Not like KR was the first politically charged self defense case. Breonna Taylor's boyfriend had his charges dropped pre trial.

The case is not analogous to the KR case at all, aside from them being self defense. Trying to compare them is just about turning everything into a race war when it need not be.

I don't know anything about the case beyond the article you posted, and my initial reaction is either she was acting in self defense, and if she wasn't (and it was revenge) the DA should let her go and worry about the rest of their case log.

Without further knowledge of her case - assuming she shot him dead, and assuming it was preventing sexual abuse, she should be cleared for murder. For arson and theft they should go easy on her.

What an awful piece. The 2 cases are not comparable.
They are comparing the self-defense part.

Does she have any evidence that he was trying to kill her? KR did, which is why he was acquitted. The scenarios are ridiculously non analogous too. This was obviously a business associate in a sordid business she'd been dealing with for years. Something seemed to have soured in their relationship. This is more similar to OJ case than KR.

KR perceived there was a threat. She is claiming she was sexually abused and it was continuing.

This doesn't deserve a response.  ::)

Not sure if this is correct but: A Kenosha judge blocked her claiming self-defense, and she must prove she acted as a result of child sex trafficking.

She claimed affirmative defense, not self-defense. Burden of proof is on the defendant. No, I’m not an expert on this, but this gigantic WSJ article from 2019 does not mention self-defense once, and only discusses whether she can make an affirmative defense claim for sex trafficking that leads to homicide, and still the burden is on her to prove that it did.

Reading through the article will make your opinion change multiple times and shows there’s so much to the story that needs to be known to even start discussing it.

Just read through the WP article. What a horrific story, and a tragic life. There are so many layers of dysfunction and horror here, on all levels.

Justice and judging when two wrongs make a right is for G-d alone, as is establishing the actual facts of the case. I certainly cannot weigh on this either way.

This is also an absurd comparison to KR. There's literally not a similar element.

Definitely curious to see more on this case. On a moral level, I think there is plenty of leeway for her, but on a legal level it's a lot more complicated. I believe there is a different legal stance when someone believes they are in danger and reacts in that moment, vs when they are in general danger and reacts when an opportunity is given at a later time. Can't say I wouldn't do the same in her case (leaving aside the arson and theft for a moment) but not sure if the law upholds it. Really sad situation that seems to be more prevalent than we'd like to admit.

The judge denied this defense, correct?

Sorry, but I can't let this pass without objecting. This is absolutely revolting. She was a child who was trafficked and raped countless times by a monster. Calling that monster a "business associate", the most inhumane abuse "sordid business", or years of torturous abuse "a soured relationship" is so far beyond the pale I don't even have the words to express how disgusting that is.

If anyone needs to be charged with homicide it should be the scumbag that decided it’s a good idea to release this dangerous predator back to the streets to continue his heinous crimes, even though authorities had lots of evidence of his monstrosities.

What a tragic, horrifying story. I don't envy the judge, that is one weighty decision to have to make without relying on precedent.

OTOH, the DA needs to be tarred and feathered for having that monster on the streets with the mounds of evidence against him and then going so hard after her.
