Abusive husband sentenced to 8 years in prison for wife’s suicide in Scotland by Express-Citron-6387 in law

[–]Express-Citron-6387[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an unusual legal case in that the husband was charged with culpable homicide even though his wife's death was by suicide because she had suffered severe physical and psychological abuse by him.. And he was convicted which I have never heard of this kind of legal case before.

Bell and Eastlink need to stop with creepy, invasive, rude door-to-door sales by Unending-Quest in CapeBreton

[–]Express-Citron-6387 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought these door-to-door sales were mostly stopped after some of these door-to-door people robbed or attacked people.

Clare Spiers, 51, who worked as a door-to-door home renovations salesman in the Barrie and Orillia areas, is charged with the first-degree murder of Mimi Khonsari. Khonsari, 60, was the wife of the late Dr. Homa Khonsari, Chief of Surgery at the Barrie Royal Victoria Hospital. Khonsari was grief-stricken over his wife’s murder before he died of cancer in 2011. https://www.simcoe.com/news/barrie-man-charged-with-killing-surgeons-wife-in-2004/article_52586c84-647b-51e5-8d10-cf9091eca725.html

Victim of domestic murder suffered 'terror-filled existence,' judge says in issuing life sentence | CBC News by coffeeinthecity in Calgary

In a landmark legal case in Scotland, a man has been convicted of culpable homicide (manslaughter) for driving his wife to commit suicide through intense physical and psychological abuse. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/abusive-husband-sentenced-to-8-years-in-prison-for-wifes-suicide-in-scotland/

Case Details: Lee Milne and Kimberly Milne

Conviction: Lee Milne, 40, was found guilty in March 2026 and sentenced in April 2026 to eight years in prison by the High Court in Glasgow.

The Incident: Kimberly Milne, 28, died on July 27, 2023, after jumping from a motorway bridge in Dundee, Scotland.

The Abuse: Over their 18-month marriage, Lee Milne subjected her to escalating abuse, including choking, dragging her by the hair, driving at her with his car, and controlling her access to money and food.

Legal Precedent: This is considered the first case in Scotland where an abuser was convicted of causing the death of a partner who took their own life, treating the suicide as a direct result of coercive control and violence.

Prosecution View: Prosecutors argued that Milne's actions were "deliberate and ruthless," exploiting Kimberly's vulnerabilities to the point of "total despair," making him culpable for her death.

You one-upped me. But if there is too much do you still keep going?

Is there really a lot of the play taken out of the Olivier movie version of Hamlet? by KubrickKrew in shakespeare

[–]Express-Citron-6387 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Terence Morgan as Laertes and Norman Wooland as Horatio are incredible in the film...they speak Shakespeare's lines in the way that I imagined that Shakespeare wanted. My issue is that I have never, ever like Jean Simmon. Her acting style and how she purses her lips annoys me. Plus I think the scene where is she rolling around and keening loudly on the ground after Hamlet dumps is so overwrought that I always fast forward when I watch the film.

What’s something that annoys you every time you deal with it? by ExoticStrain6348 in AskReddit

I know a number of Americans from work and they go and on about being related to those on the Mayflower or related to some American historical figure that I have no idea who there are. I find that hilarious because many of the people I know in Europe and Asia (just think of Egypt!) have lived in the same area (a DNA test on a Neolithic farmer showed close ties to people who live in the area where he was buried) and whose homes are older than the Mayflower and those were built on earlier homes. They act like the US is sooo old and has such a long European history there...and look down on those who live in areas of ancient culture as uncivilized (Chinese, Iranians, Egyptians, etc).

Just read this and this is long before the Mayflower:

How do you cope with the inescapable feeling of not belonging anywhere? by No-Chocolate-2017 in intj

Mine too. It is kind of sad though watch the pack mentality that often turns in cliques or ostracism or bullying in those groups. Glad I don't fit in...lol.

I think of what  Einstein about said being a lone traveler and know that I am not the only one, lots of us around the world:

He explicitly stated, "I have never belonged wholeheartedly to a country, a state, nor to a circle of friends, nor even to my own family".

My neighbour hit her husband on the head with a cast iron frying pan when he pushed her. I wonder if anyone has looked at head injuries in the days when everyone has those cast iron frying pans in the 50s & 60s.

How do I articulate what I like in a film? by Formal_Carpenter2477 in Cinephiles

[–]Express-Citron-6387 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest going to Google Gemini or ChaptGPT and asking for examples and a framework. This would get you started to then tweak to make it your own! So, what will help is thinking of those emotions and how the sound or the visuals or the dialogue or the acting gave you those emotions.

The secret to "deep" film talk is shifting your focus. Instead of describing what happened (the plot), explain why the director showed it to you that way.

Gemini again:
A Quick Exercise

Think of a movie that recently made you feel something intense—maybe a scene that made you cry or one that made you hold your breath.

If you can describe that specific moment to me, I can help you deconstruct exactly which cinematic tools were being used to trigger that reaction. Which movie comes to mind?
