Why are they trying so hard to defend a woman that brutally murdered her friend.

[xtinkerbellax]

She just doesn't seem to give a shit.

[ferelden]

She was a cold blooded murderer. Like….WHAT.

[crystalzelda]

You “really defend” someone who gashed to death(41 times!) the woman she wronged by fucking her husband for years with an axe? And you told someone that… in public?

[bostongirl2003]

how the fuck they acquitted with 41 strikes. Lizzie Borden realness.

[picturemegone]

Do a lot of people believe her self defense claims? I'm am so confused by these comments.

I find it really scary that people can believe striking someone 41 times with an axe is self defense.

I learned from watching crime movies and shows with my dad (he worked in law enforcement, not in the US though so laws might be different a bit) that you can't claim self defense when you clearly continued to inflict violence after the point of defending yourself. Which obviously happened here.

I watched Deadly Women and I remembered former FBI profiler Candice DeLong said that someone repeatedly stabbing was their way of saying, "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." It was them letting it all out on their victim.

Fuck Elizabeth Olsen's overrated ass for this "Defending Candy."

Candy’s support breaks up into a few camps - some think she did defend herself but went overboard and others fully believe she was justified in going overboard. I think time has swayed a lot of opinion against her, especially when people do deep dives into the case.
Eta I completely forgot about the unhinged Olsen stans who think Betty deserved it and Candy paid her dues because she’s a councelor now.
