Husband kills wife’s lover; wife charged
If found guilty, how much time should the wife end up serving?
CNN-ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Darrell Roberson came home from a card game late one night to find his wife rolling around with another man in a pickup truck in the driveway.
Caught in the act with her lover, Tracy Denise Roberson — thinking quickly, if not clearly — cried rape, authorities say. Her husband pulled a gun and killed the other man with a shot to the head.On Thursday, a grand jury handed up a manslaughter indictment — against the wife, not the husband.
The grand jury declined to charge the husband with murder, the charge on which he was arrested by police.
“If I found somebody with my wife or with my kids in my house, there’s no telling what I might do,” said Juan Muniz, 33, who was having lunch Friday with one of his two small children at a restaurant in the middle-class suburban Dallas neighborhood where the Robersons lived. “I probably would have done the same thing.”
Tracy Roberson, 35, could get two to 20 years in prison in the slaying of Devin LaSalle, a 32-year-old UPS employee.

I agree that the wife should be charged because her actions led directly to the death. However it’s a little insensitive to be so callous regarding the murder of the guy. There’s no evidence yet that the guy even knew she was married.

Just send her to Somalia as a relief worker. A win-win.

He probably knew she was married because most men will avoid sex in a pickup truck if there’s a bed nearby. Unless he wants to avoid leaving any “evidence” in the home. Personally I like women with minivans. (just kidding)
