Blaming it on the Victim: It's my wife's fault I tried to have her killed

A former Marine convicted of trying to contract his wife's murder says he deserves a light sentence because she squandered his money and wouldn't give him sex, dinner or clean laundry.

``Like an ivory tower princess, her delusional attitude seemed to be that it was my duty, my obligation, my purpose, alone, to work off these debts she created,'' Harold Stonier said in a 50-page filing in federal court in Boston, seeking leniency as he awaits sentencing.

Stonier, who was caught on tape plotting various scenarios for his wife's murder, called her a ``spiteful, conniving, vengeful lunatic who creates her own distortion of reality.'' He claimed his wife deprived him of basic comforts such as laundry and marital intimacy, ignored his demands to prepare weekly menus for his approval, and played the TV loud in their bedroom at night, forcing him to watch the women-oriented ``Oxygen Channel.''

2. Of couse not !

Divorce is a sin. Why do you want to undermine traditional marriage?

3. He didn't even try counseling.. let alone filing for divorce.

sounds like he got brainwashed into AWOL-Bush-think: murder is the only way to solve a problem.

5. Gee, he got upset when his wife didn't submit menus for his approval

Hard to believe she wasn't interested in having sex with this charmer, isn't it?

4. Must be my ex-husband's twin...

:wtf:

My ex likes to beat up his wives and girl friends. Surprisingly enough, it is never his fault. :shrug: These women always make him do it.

:grr:

I hope they give him the maximum sentence,

7. asshole

sex is not a right.

got to fan the flames to get to the fire and approving weekly menus is not fanning the flames.

I would have told him to get the fuck out and go make his own menus


anyone remember Lorena Bobbitt?

11. Let's hope this character goes away for a long, long time.

Weekly menus for his approval? He must have been joking. While he's incarcerated they need to tattoo "Do Not Marry Me" on every square inch of his body.

12. no in jail

he can submit his own weekly menus for his new "wives" complete with a diet for the toothless!

men with no teeth in jail can't bite....
