When spouses kill eachother it ' s almost always in a moment of extreme emotion , it ' s very rarely premeditated . The guilty plea was to firstdegree murder in just 10 % of cases and to nonnegligent manslaughter in 58 % of the spouse murder cases I ' m going out on a limp here and assuming samesex couples premeditate spousal murder at the same rate as spouses in general . It always makes sense to check up on the spouses alibi first , because they are statistically more likely , and because it makes more sense than just accusing the random guy on the street . That doesn ' t mean that a hatecrime is at all improbable or unlikely especially in premeditated murder attempts . <| sep |> well it ain ' t wrong <| sep |> I ' m glad i live in a part of the country where there really isn ' t a last ride of the season . I ' m blessed .
