re: Judge tells man who murdered news anchor he should’ve killed himself

I've followed this case a bit. I know it might be kicking them when they're down, but this woman was a complete fricking retard and her husband was an idiot as well:

Detroit Free Press

Guertin said she considered Williamson “my best friend at the time” before the attack and testified that he called her in the middle of the night asking to come over.

She said when the night began, she "didn't think anything bad would happen" and Williamson had not been violent toward her or the family before. During her testimony, however, she recounted that after she asked him to leave to get the children ready for school, things took a turn.

She said they had smoked a little crack cocaine and she had a little heroin before Williamson cut her neck with a knife and told her, “When Jim gets home, I’m gonna kill him.”

Guertin recounted Matthews' death after he came home from work and how she could hear her son, Hunter, crying and whimpering and how Williamson, whom she knew as Smokey, hit the child in the head with the same hammer that was used on Matthews.

Guertin testified that she had known Williamson about two years, that they did drugs together and had an intimate relationship in the past of which Matthews was aware. She said she met Williamson through a friend, who was later killed in an apparent drug deal gone bad on New Year's Day 2022 in Port Huron.

I'm not saying anybody deserved to be beaten with hammers or had their throats slashed, but it's usually not the best practice to invite your CLEARLY violent ex-con boyfriend over to the house for some crack and heroin.

These kids got a long road to hoe with mom of the year over here.
