Jannie Duncan: “Beautiful Human” or Fugitive Killer?

In many ways, quite harrowing, and makes me wonder what kinds of stories we'll be looking back on in a new light in the coming decades. What I'd love to know is whether the jury truly thought they were acting in good faith or not. When you realize just how absolutely deluded humans can be, it makes you wonder how deluded you are... and if you can ever truly overcome it.

It is a long but interesting story, the author has is initial assumptions and digging into the story to find more details he realizes that he was completely wrong, all the press and society were wrong.

If she didn't kill him, he may have killed her. They were a tempestuous couple.

But that doesn't mean she and her friends had the right to kill him. Murder is murder.

Growing up with a violent and abusive father who, at the same time, was a darling of society, I'm not so convinced, that Jannie Duncan was just a poor victim of circumstances.

Sociopaths have the talent to fool the people around them about their true nature. But behind closed doors and towards their spouses and children the mask comes off.

To me it seems like the author is willing to value some of his findings differently, merely because as a "black female who stood against a white-led prosecution" his subject is high on the contemporary so-called "oppression pyramid".
