"Your honor, I only stabbed my wife several times - I didn't intend to kill her."

Right wielding knifes or swords same thing ... I guess it is because of the gun control laws overseas where they allow guns the typical mans excuse is got angry so shot her ... that's in the 20th century right.

Lost his temper. Stabbed her. Typical Japanese male response. Are men in Japan still in the 18th century?

I heard that Chinese women are very demanding especially about money. That could be the reason....

Only full blown psychopaths say they had intent to kill and show no remorse. Every other murderer probably only had intent to inflict bodily harm, not kill, and shows remorse. That’s why they always say that. And remorse plays a big part in sentencing.

I don’t understand murderers saying they “deny intent to kill” after stabbing someone unless it’s a legal formality to lessen jail time.
Anyone know?

Take a deep breath, count to twenty then hug, is better than repeatedly stabbing someone you choose to spend the rest of your life with.
