Not As Unreasonable As It Might Seem
by Bob Walsh
This is one of those convenient cases where the actual facts of the situation are not in much dispute.
Roxanne Eka Peters is a 35-year old mother in Australia. Days after he initially raped her three years ago he returned and threatened to kill her daughter if she did not cooperate in further sexual activity. She did not feel so inclined. She stabbed her attacker, Grant Jason Casar, 51, 61 times with a kitchen knife in her home on December 4, 2015. Several of the knife wounds were in his groin and penis. She then tied a rope around his neck and dragged him behind her car for a bit more than half a mile, where she dumped him in a ditch. His body was found the next day.
She copped to manslaughter and interfering with a corpse. Had she called the cops after stabbing him instead of dumping the body she would have had a fair chance of getting by with the killing.
Personally I think they should have given her a freebie, but that's just me. Things are funny in Australia.
