FTA: She had scars on her wrists and ankles, and deputies say her feet were badly mutilated after Lizon smashed them with a scoop on a farm tractor.

"This is something taken out of context," Lizon's attorney Shawn Bayliss said.

I'm sorry Shawn, is there some OTHER context in which I should take "deliberate backhoe mauling of one's spouse"?

Kudos to the person who wrote this article. Perfect juxtaposition.

Guilty on account of epic neckbeard.

I can only imagine how messed up she was to run off and leave an infant with him.
He's got a pervy look about him; is his middle name DeWayne?

Well then, what's good for the goose is good for the gander?

i see absolutely no problem with this.

Well yeah, gotta her her to make those sandwiches somehow.

AbbeySomeone: I can only imagine how messed up she was to run off and leave an infant with him.

Maybe she was thinking she had the best chance to escape without the kid? Maybe she was afraid he'd make noise? Maybe she thought she could go back later to get the kid when she had some support/reinforcements?
Either way, it's farked up.

Well, as popular as 50 Shades of Grey is right now, I imagine that there are millions of women out there who want just that.

Just no anal fisting, as the book tells us.

Thats what she gets for forgetting the Safe Word

FTA: Police say she ran around to the Zumba dance facility next door and pleaded for help.

You've been isolated from the outside world for nearly a decade. During that time you've been burned, tortured and chained. You'll do anything to catch a glimpse of the normal world. Finally you manage to escape. And where do you wind up?

This moron should become a fellow inmate's biatch and receive the same treatment in the correctiional facility where the judge sentences him. Dominance and kinky behaviour have limits.

A woman can do anything a man can do. They're equals.Therefore, it must have been her choice to live that way.
C'mon, it's 2012-a man can't make a woman do anything

He kind of does have that muslimy beard. Seems like the sort of thing a Taliban person would do. I'd ship him to gitmo to be safe.

Fifty Shades of Lizon (just doesn't have a nice ring to it...)

"This is something taken out of context," Lizon's attorney Shawn Bayliss said. "I don't believe my client has done anything that could be construed as a criminal act."

Wow! This guy should get into politics!

Hey! She signed the papers...

I was thinking how terrible that story is and then I realized it is West Virginia. I suspect there's worse there somewhere. eek.

And according to the attorney she's "standing by her husband". Stockholm syndrome FTW.

I don't know how some of these defense lawyers sleep at night.** Like Jerry Donovan, the lawyer for Joshua Komisarjevsky (convicted for the Petit family murders), who argued during the trial that it was Mr Petit's fault that they burned his two daughters alive because he escalated matters by escaping. And also it was the oldest daughter's fault she died because she tried to rescue her sister instead of climbing out the window. What a farking scumbag.


** - The same applies to prosecutors who try to (and in many cases succeed) in suppressing evidence that exonerates the defendant because, hey, gotta get that conviction.

...and some people wonder why I have this fark handle.

On meth it is.

I know it's a lawyers job to lie for their clients, but all lawyers should be shot till they limp.. This Bayliss is a terrible human being. I hope his family read what he said and disown him.

What, do you expect the lawyer to come out and say "My client is 100% guilty!"? It's not a lawyers job to serve justice, it's a lawyers job to serve the best interest if his client.

The thing that annoyed me was the constant reference to her as a hostage.

Against what?

her will?

I understand it's a lawyer's job to defend his client, but I don't see how lying outright to the media helps in any way with that defense.

Have the police seen or spoken to the woman herself yet, or just the people from the shelter? I can't gather that from the article.

"I think the allegations are a product of a fertile imagination from someone who heard part of a story and decided to make it their own," Bayliss said. "Just because someone is at a shelter doesn't mean they're a victim of crime."

So....she's a cutter and is staying at the shelter since it's cheaper than a hotel?

Sorry to inconvenience you sir, you may go.

I feel bad for the lawyer.

Everyone, EVERYONE, needs legal representation when charges are brought against them. I actually feel bad for the lawyers in these cases... They get clients who are so obviously guilty, and guilty of such heinous crimes, that they have no choice but to try ridiculous shiat in court because they have no other options. Actions like this can't be reasonably explained away... so that only leaves the unreasonable explanations.

So that's what they go with, because that's their job - to represent their clients the best they can. But they're not going to usually win like that, and they must KNOW how ridiculous they're being.... so I feel bad for the poor lawyer stuck in that position with such a shiatty client.

So let me get this straight. You're NOT supposed to keep your wife chained and shackled?

huh....

Itstoearly: What, do you expect the lawyer to come out and say "My client is 100% guilty!"? It's not a lawyers job to serve justice, it's a lawyers job to serve the best interest if his client.

Agreed but in my experience most defense lawyers would be going for the mentally unstable/he only did it because he was abused himself route. Sounds like this defense lawyer is just dumb.

In West Virginia, that's fairly common.

nytmare: I understand it's a lawyer's job to defend his client, but I don't see how lying outright to the media helps in any way with that defense.

To be fair to the lawyer (I know, I know) he is duty-bound to provide a defense, regardless of what a scumbag this guy is.

Can you think of anything that could put a positive- or at least neutral- spin on "Assault and Battery with a Backhoe" in a non-felonious sort of way?

Yeah, I couldn't either.

Yeah, sounds about right.

CapeFearCadaver: fearthebunnyman: Have the police seen or spoken to the woman herself yet, or just the people from the shelter? I can't gather that from the article.

There was a thread and article last night about this. Yes, they have spoken with her; she was also put into the hospital and checked head to toe. They found new and old injuries consistent with a decade of multiple physical abuses, including massive amounts of scar tissue surrounding her wrists and ankles from the metal padlocks he used to chain her.

Muchas gracias for that.
