Kodi Adzaphenso?

Posachedwa, a Catherine May Wood adamasulidwa m'ndende ya feduro ku Florida, atakhala nthawi yawo yochita nawo ziwembu zisanu zakupha anthu ku Alpine Manor ku Michigan. Ali ndi zaka 57, ndi m'modzi mwa opha anthu wamba omwe amaloledwa kubwerera m'gulu.

Anthu ambiri akwiya, akufunsa funso lofunika: Kodi adzachitanso?

Dipatimenti Yapolisi Yopuma pantchito ya Sgt. Roger Kaliniak, yemwe adafufuza Wood, ndi m'modzi mwa omwe amakhulupirira kuti akadali owopsa. "Ndiwowononga anthu ambiri ndipo atha kuchita izi," adauza atolankhani, "ndipo ambiri aiwo amatero."

Koma kuwunika kwake ndikokulirapo. Omwe akupha mosiyanasiyana ndi osiyana kwambiri pamalingaliro ndi machitidwe awo kuposa zomwe amavomereza. Kuthekera kwa zoopsa zamtsogolo, pankhaniyi, kumalumikizidwa kwambiri ndi zochitika zamtimu kuposa omwe akutenga nawo mbali. Sikuti aliyense amene wapha ngati m'gulu la zigawenga akanachita izi akanapanda kukumana ndi munthu winayo.

Tiyeni tiwone ivyo vikachitika.

Malinga ndi Wood, yemwe nthano yake idakhala mbiri yayikulu yamalamulo, anali Gwendolyn Graham, mnzake, yemwe adayambitsa nkhani yakupha. Wood adalongosola momwe adakopekera wina ndi mnzake pogonana ndipo adachita asphyxia yogonana kuti akwaniritse ziphuphu zazikulu. Masewera awo achiwerewere anali ndi zachiwawa. Kungolankhula zakupha, adati, adawadzutsa. Pomaliza, adasankha kuchita. Amasewera masewera a M-U-R-D-E-R.

Idagwira motere: malo omwe awiriwa adagwirirapo ntchito, amagwiritsa ntchito buku kulemba mayina a odwala omwe amwalira kapena atulutsidwa. Wood ndi Graham adakonza zakupha odwala mwanjira inayake kuti dzina loyambirira la mayina omaliza a odwala asanu ndi mmodzi, likawerengedwa patsamba, litchulidwe MURDER. Kungakhale nthabwala zawo zachinsinsi. Mu Januwale 1987, adayamba.

Komabe, masewerawa anali ovuta kwambiri, motero anasankha odwala omwe akanakhala ovuta kuwapha osawapeza, monga omwe akudwala matenda amisala. Wood adati adayimirira pomwe Graham amasuta anthuwo. Koma Graham atakakamiza Wood kuti atenge nawo mbali kwambiri pakupha anthu, iye adakana.

Ubale wawo udatha pomwe Graham adachoka m'bomalo. Pambuyo pake, adagwidwa ndipo Wood adatembenukira kwa Graham pamsonkhano, ngakhale ena omwe amadziwa Wood adakhulupirira iye akanakhoza akhala wolamulira. Kaliniak amaganiza choncho ndiye, ndipo zikuwoneka kuti akadali choncho. (Zonena zake zitha kupezeka mu akaunti yaupandu weniweni, Kwanthawizonse ndi Masiku Asanu .)

Oposa 20 peresenti ya milandu yakupha anthu wamba imakhudza magulu, atero katswiri wazamalamulo Eric W. Hickey. Anasanthula zochitika za opha anthu opitirira 500 kuyambira m'zaka za zana la 19 mpaka 2011. Magulu ambiri, adawapeza, amatenga olakwa awiri okha, ndipo nthawi zambiri samakhala azimayi okha. Komabe ziribe kanthu kapangidwe kake, zamphamvu zimasewera. Hickey anati: “Popanda kusiyanasiyana, gulu lililonse la olakwa linali ndi munthu m'modzi yemwe amayang'anira zamaganizidwe ake.”

Al Carlisle yemwe kale anali katswiri wa zamaganizo anavomera. "Chiyanjano pakati pa wakupha wamkulu ndi wotsatira wake wogonjera chimadziwika ndi kudalirana kwambiri. Munthu wolamulira amafunikira kukhulupirika kwathunthu kwa wotsatira kuti atsimikizire yekha. Wotsatira wotsatila amafunika mphamvu ndi ulamuliro wa munthu wolamulira, kotero amayesetsa kukhala mthunzi wa munthu ameneyo ndikuwonetsa zikhulupiliro ndi machitidwe a munthu wamkuluyo. Aliyense amadzikhululukira. ”

Mabanja opha magulu monga Graham ndi Wood, omwe ndidalemba Pano, kutsatira zomwe anthu ambiri amachita: Anthu awiri amakumana, amakopeka kwambiri, ndipo amayamba kudziwana bwino komwe kumakhudza malingaliro azakugonana - ngakhale achiwawa. Mukakondweretsedwa, mgwirizano uwu umalimbikitsa kuchita sewero.

Ngati anzawo apanga chiwawa osagwidwa, amalimba mtima. Tsopano ali ndi chinsinsi chomwe chimabweretsa chisangalalo chimodzi. Izi zimawonjezera mwayi woti ayesenso. Kuchita izi pamodzi amachepetsa udindo kwa aliyense, ndipo atha kulimbikitsa chisangalalo chomwe amapeza kwinaku akunyalanyaza kulakwa kapena kuwopa kumangidwa. Zomwe zimapangitsa gululi kukhala zolimbikitsa.

Pa Seputembara 20, 1989, oweruzawo adatsutsa Graham milandu isanu yakupha munthu woyamba komanso chiwembu chofuna kupha munthu. Adalemba ziganizo zisanu ndi chimodzi, osakhala ndi mwayi wololedwa. Udindo wa Wood udaseweredwa "poyang'anira mwa apo ndi apo." Adavomera kupha munthu wachiwiri ndipo adalandira chigamulo cha zaka 20-40.

Kwa zaka zambiri, Wood adabwera kuti amasulidwe kangapo, koma Michigan Parole Board adakana, poona kuti sakumva chisoni komanso akadali pachiwopsezo.Mabanja a omwe adachitidwa zachipongwe akhala akutsutsana ndikumasulidwa msanga. Komabe, kuvomerezedwa kunaperekedwa mu 2018 ndipo Wood tsopano watuluka.

Ndiye, kodi aphenso? Ndi mwayi uti? Tiyenera kulingalira momwe zinthu zilili.

Chifukwa chakuti ntchito ya Wood imakhalabe yosadziwika - anali wolamulira weniweni kapena wongomvera chabe? - ndizovuta kuwunika zomwe zingawopseze.

Komabe, Wood ndi wamkulu kwambiri tsopano, wakhala m'ndende kwazaka makumi atatu, ndipo atha kuzindikira kuti kukhala wotsika kumamugwirira bwino ntchito kuposa milandu ina yonse. Ngakhale atakhala katswiri, kusanthula kwakanthawi kukuwonetsa kuti mwamphamvu yomweyo kuti athe kusewera, angafunike mnzake wapamtima wokhala ndi zikhumbo zofananira ndipo angafunikire ovuta kuwapeza. Ali ndi zoletsa pakadali pano zomwe zikuletsa zam'mbuyomu, ndipo ndiwotchuka kwambiri kuti asapeze ntchito kuzipatala ngakhale atachotsedwa. Atha kusowa chisoni, koma sizokwanira kulimbikitsa kupha. Chifukwa chake, chiwopsezo chakubwezeretsanso ndichotsika.
