Because 105 time would have been overkill.

There's crazy. Then there is stab your girlfriend over a hundred times crazy

Sounds like the Judge has a legal bias.

Wow. I couldn't do that.



I'd have to take a break in between for that many stabs.

this would have been faster, without taking away all the fun.

Stab me 104 times, shame on you. Stab me 105 or more times, shame on me.

At least he wasn't littering.

Yeah, let's just pretend like the judge made this remark because he considered two options: 1) the defendant intended to kill her, or 2) he slipped, and accidentally stabbed her 104 times; and upon considering these possibilities reluctantly decided the former was more likely. Let's just ignore that it was a response to the defense arguing that he was not aware of his actions, having taken prescription drugs and alcohol.

/Incidentally, I had a friend abusing prescription drugs and alcohol. She was very close to being her usual self, but just didn't form memories. Assuming that's what happened here, it very well might be the case that he doesn't remember, but that doesn't mean he didn't act intentionally.

After identifying the 20th stab wound, I think I would've said "fark it" and just wrote "several wounds" in the report.

Maybe a spider was on her, or it could of been a fly. You know how fast flies are.

I wonder where the line falls in a case like this between 2nd and 1st degree murder. I mean sure the 1st stab might have been a crime of passion, but by the time he got to the 104th stab, he'd had time to premeditate.

Good thing he was on prescription drugs instead of pot. He might have stabbed her 420 times. Or just mumbled about how she was harshing his mellow and just ate a bunch of poutine instead.

Jesus....what was he taking??? You'd think after the 30th stab you'd be like "Fark it. I'm done."

So how did you survive the 105 stabbings?

I gave her one of those prop knives, where the blade slides into the handle.

Also, after she got to 104 I told her I was dead, so she stopped.

From the article:

"He claimed in court not to remember stabbing the girl because he'd been popping prescription pills and doing shots of moonshine that day."

While not an excuse for his actions.....the above seems pretty believable.

I am satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the subby did in fact read the article in full but submitted a subtly misleading headline for the sake of funny.

Dang liberal activist judges legislating from the bench. Does the Constitution say anything about how many stab wounds satisfy doubt as to intent?

Ehh: Dang liberal activist judges legislating from the bench. Does the Constitution say anything about how many stab wounds satisfy doubt as to intent?

Yes. I quote,

"A stabbing shall count as intentional if; first they hath unsheathed the Holy Dagger, then hath stabbed to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number the stabbings, and the number of the stabbings shall be three. Four shalt count as a stabbing, neither count two, excepting that they then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then intent shall be established, upon which the judgment of being naughty in my sight, shall be issued."

/maybe this counts as 34 intentional stabbings..?

CapeFearCadaver: I'm gonna go with amitriptyline

Maybe that is why I'm only allowed to take it right before bed.

"M-O-O-N spells dead."

Mega Steve: Jesus....what was he taking??? You'd think after the 30th stab you'd be like "Fark it. I'm done."

Well, obviously the prescription medication was Viagra, so he was able to go a lot longer.

Approves.

"I am mean."

No, no, no... You're all missing the clear and obvious explanation. He only stabbed her once. He just kept forgetting:

"I'm gonna stab you!"
*Stab*
"It looks like someone beat me to it, but I really want to, so..."
*Stab*
"Did I stab you yet? Just in case..."
*Stab*
"Damn, you'll ho yourself out to any guy with a knife!"
*Stab*

after #104, he was probably thinking :
"I really wanna stab you, but my arm's strangely tired. You lucked out."

Truth hurts.
