It is beyond my comprehension how this woman could defend her husband. I would rip his lungs out.

I agree with you Leslie, on the hanging. They said she was hanging by the dogs collar on her bedpost. She would have had to hold her feet up (unless it was a very sturdy canopy)and I presume the body's natural reaction would be to kick and flail ...No one could hear this? There are definitely some holes in the story
