Due to the rarity of women being accused of heinous crimes, when it does happen, an exceptional amount of publicity can arise, and news media may seek to profit.
Examples in recent times are Amanda Knox and Jodi Arias.
Amanda Knox was exonerated after a series of reversals, Jodi Arias has yet to file an appeal, nearly nine years after the death of her ex-boyfriend, who she says attacked her.
The article states:
“When battered women themselves use violence to escape years of abuse, they find it difficult to use criminal law defences”
I agree, and I believe Jodi Arias is an example.
I hope she can obtain justice.
