Police: Woman Jumped To Her Death Fleeing From Angry Husband

I don’t see anything in the article to substantiate the manslaughter charge,maybe they have it – if so I would like to know exactly what this asshole did.

Threatening  another with death, them trying to escape and ending up dead anyways, fall onto the shoulders of the person who threatened in the first place.As an example, If I threating you with a gun, then in your haste and panic to get the hell away from me ran into oncomming traffic and got killed, that would be on me.But of course Ced I like you so would never threatening you with anything.

Iam sure big burly boy here has threatened and abused her before.She probably thought she would come out of this with a broken leg.

I wonder if the corroboration they need is the testimony from her son regarding what he heard, I.E., “When you get off the phone I am going to kill you.”  Even though his direct actions didn’t cause her death, his threats and indirect actions did, likely making him culpable.  Damn all kinds of big words coming out of my mouth today.  LOL

If you jump out of a second story window and die from it, Darwin needs you dead.

i wonder what she did to piss him off.  i wouldn’t ever piss that guy off.

She must have landed in the most retarded way possible to die from the fall … I couldn’t imagine how it would feel to be so scared that I would jump out a window and I hope I never do.

Admittely from Wikipedia, but:

Constructive manslaughter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manslaughter)Constructive manslaughter is also referred to as ‘unlawful act’ manslaughter. It is based on the doctrine of constructive malice, whereby the malicious intent inherent in the commission of a crime is considered to apply to the consequences of that crime. It occurs when someone kills, without intent, in the course of committing an unlawful act. The malice involved in the crime is transferred to the killing, resulting in a charge of manslaughter.For example, a person who runs a red light in their vehicle and hits someone crossing the street could be found to intend or be reckless as to assault or criminal damage (see DPP v Newbury). There is no intent to kill, and a resulting death would not be considered murder, but would be considered involuntary manslaughter. The accused’s responsibility for causing death is constructed from the fault in committing what might have been a minor criminal act.

Or maybe she thought her ass would land comfy -like on that soft pillow. From past conversations on here I know that a lot of people think it is almost impossible to die from a second story jump;they bring up “controlled jump”,and things like that;maybe she did just think – “broken leg”,unfortunately for her the odds are that she landed on her head/neck.

LOL

The chronic douchebag syndrome she was living with finally did her in.

John I almost – but not quite – know that paragraph by heart;it is all correct,but you do not have a direct action listed in the article like the running a red light example used here – the running a red light example does in fact establish a clear probable cause for a manslaughter charge – due to the fact that it can be proven in court that a person who intentionally runs a red light does so knowing full well that their action could possibly kill or injury another person,and they knowing that still made a choice to proceed with the action.

Son heard raged husband tell wife he was going to kill her.

Short time later woman leaves through 2nd floor window and not the front door.

Woman dies.

I am not a lawyer, but these three facts sound pretty compelling. We shall see.

I’m thinking she was in another room and enclosed herself in or possibly locked the door.  She felt trapped and when he started to beat the door down she felt she had to get out or be killed.  I think if that’s the case then he should be held liable.   She was going to die by his hands or die trying to escape.   I guess she must have felt fleeing was the best chance she had at survival.    I guess we need to wait for more details.

That would possibly be a better charge – depending on what exactly happened with Lisa and Alan.Basically involuntary manslaughter is an unintentional killing that typically results from recklessness.

Yeah but sometimes things that don’t meet the “clinical” definition still squeak through.  It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

So bad, and I laughed. Damn it!

A woman that backended a guy on a bridge in detroit was pulled out of the car and threatened by the man with a tire iron until she saw no other way out but to get on the other side of the railing when she either fell or jumped to her death he went to jail and there were alot of people watching this

My thoughts on this is can they prove she jumped or that all the injuries were frOm the fall

I think she may have been assisted out the window

If we’re talking about the same story on Belle Isle he actually was beating her (Deletha Word) and ripped of some of her clothes and she jumped to escape him. He was a hug man, like 300 lbs.

That was such a sad event.

 Ha!

Yes same story, my sons dad grew up in detroit and i recall this on the news, what a frightening thing to happen

I agree even though we used to jump off garage roofs all the time as kids

You might find some of these funny http://www.guy-sports.com/humor/pictures/picture_graveyards.htm

Lets see if he can arm wrestle his way out of that one !

I gotta wonder. Who waits for somebody to get done with their phone call before they kill them? Really? Sounds like irrational semantics more than anything else. 

If I had tape recorder for half the lovelies my lovely shares my way when I’m less than lovely (like Drunken Boyz Night, or Drunken Football TV Gamez, etc.) I could put her away for many moons by this standard. Which eyeball gets the screwdriver type-shit – my girl’s hot both ways so I’m thankful and fearful in equal measure. So I say to little boys, play with fire! Its fun! But don’t take it literally.

 I REALLY LIKE THIS A LOT.

I saw that video – what was sad was all those people out there watching,and no one attempted to help that lady;they all just watched.

Yes, but the son heard him say that he was going to kill her when she got off the phone. Therefore, his actions contributed to her death.

Wasn’t it about a year ago that 3 college students jumped out of a 1 story window and two died? It’s all in how you land and what you hit on your way down.

He threatened to kill her. Sounds malicious to me. Even if no one heard that, what if objects in the house were strewn about or the door she was behind was broken or hand holes punched through it, would that be considered in contributing to her death and, therefore, manslaughter?

Wow thats extremely sad and weren’t there people cheering it on? Or am i thinking of a law and order episode

Possibly  involuntary  manslaughter … but if it’s like kimbev69 thinks and he “assisted her out the window”,manslaughter.It just seems overly clear to me that from the little that’s been released so far by the police – they know a lot more than we do at this point.I’m sure if they actually go with manslaughter they will have what it takes to make it stick.My prediction – this jerks going to the penitentiary.

I was referring to that article when  I mentioned people who think it’s rare to die from a second floor jump.What you say is true,but also factor in that the human body is not equally balanced – we are top heavy (some more so than others),in a fall if the body has time it will naturally end up head end down unless the person somehow is able to alter this before hitting the ground.

There was a video? Wow, that was before camera phones so someone must have actually taken a video camera to the island.

I remember going over that bridge when i visited detroit how messed up, i wonder if he is out yet

If you want to read a reporters view of it here’s an excerpt from the book called “The Hidden Brain”. Go down to the one that says “The Sirens Call” it’s about Deletha Word and what happened on the bridge.

Angels Mom, thanks so much for posting that. “Dozens of people, after all, were at the scene—surely someone else would intervene. Behind Tiffany, other cars stopped around the station wagon and the Monte Carlo. Bystanders formed concentric circles of shock and horror.”  We’ve talked about Genovese syndrome before, and here is another example of it. I can’t believe I’ve never read this book before. It’s time for a trip to the bookstore.

This would be the same type of situation if she ran into the street trying to get away from him and was hit by a car. Although the car killed the woman, she wouldn’t have run into the street if he hadn’t chased there.

Let’s hope not.

Ahh that could explain

She obviously knew what he was capable of.  Poor lady, he must’ve hurt her so many times.

Is the video still out? and if so how could I go aBout finding it?

Sadly though, most women in this situation dont have time to tie bed sheets together Thanks for that idea though,
