Love hurts - Alyssa Hamilton

In 2011 a Jersey man stabbed his wife and four kids after he and his wife had agreed to separate. Apparently it wasn't what he wanted, so when he went to kiss his wife goodbye before leaving he stabbed her 13 times with a hunting knife and then went after his kids. Thankfully all of the members involved survived and yesterday they finally achieved justice, and peace. Jai Finley was sentenced Friday to 15 years in state prison for attempted murder. He also received a concurrent 10-year term for aggravated assault.
This theme of aggressive husbands has been around since the beginning, tracing back to various other occasions of violence in the household in the past. The idea that someone could do this to the person they love the most is frightening, if this is what you can do to your loved ones, what could you do to your enemies?

  1. It's amazing that the woman survived even after being stabbed 13 times! Many people are afraid to get out of relationships because they fear what might happen to them if they do. This is a prime example.

  3. Domestic Violence is a huge problem in our country today. An alarming number of women have reported experiencing it at some point in their lives. I think it is an issue that we as a people need to tackle.
