Weddingbee boards

I live in the Charlotte area and they are being very tight lipped about what happened. Its a really sad story and he was so young.

This just makes me completely sick to my stomach. There are three little kids without a father and a murderer for a mother. Unless she was trying to defend her life (Henry did have a history of assault charges), I fully believe that she is guilty of murder. Even if it was self-defense, she DID still leave him on the side of the road to die. I think she should be thrown in jail to rot.

I can't imagine doing that to someone I love and was about to marry (and had THREE KIDS with). I just cannot fathom speeding off, swerving to try to sling him out of the back of a moving truck. And then leaving him on the road to die. It's sick and she deserves to be locked up for life or even the death penalty. How cold-blooded is this entire situation?

I don't even care that I don't know all the facts. At the end of the day, I do know that a very young man is dead, that three very young children are without a father, and their mother was behind the wheel of the truck Chris Henry "came out" of. Not much could change my opinion that she's a cold-blooded murderer.

We don't really know the "truth," so I refuse to pass judgment on her.  When fearing for your life, you don't generally look back.  You RUN.  I might be biased since I've volunteered for a battered women's shelter and a domestic violence clinic.  So, I've learned not to pass judgment on such situations.  If she was afraid of him and was running away to prevent him from hurting her, she clearly was not looking back to see if he was hurt.  She was running for her life.  I wouldn't call her a murderer, just like I wouldn't say he committed suicide.  It sounds like it was a freak accident caused by a domestic violence situation.  These incidents happen all too often. 

Life is fragile. I hope everyone has that in the back of their minds. It's so tragic, so scary, so sad. I'm very angry at the situation as a long-time Bengals fan and as a human being with a heart, you know?

Very sad story indeed. 

he was trying to get her to stop, that's why he jumped in the back of the truck.  we all say some things we don't mean when we're angry and i bet they're no different.  he jumped in the truck and said he'd jump out and kill himself if she drove off... 

but wouldn't anyone think that their FIANCE would stop rather than endanger their life?  i like to think that mine would.

and, the neighbor said that she hesitated at the end of the driveway.  not that she stopped to look for other cars coming (which wouldnt have required much of a stop for the neighbor to notice anyway and wasnt it at night?  its pretty easy to see headlights at night) ...she hesitated.  that means she knew she was doing something wrong.  and she did it anyway.

i feel sooooooo so bad for those kids.

not to mention, tmz reported that someone involved in planning their wedding had reported that the couple was arguing about wedding finances.  he didnt want to spend too much and he finally left her to do the paperwork after bickering with her IN FRONT OF the wedding planner or whomever that was.

someone so afraid of him probably wouldnt pick a fight with him in public cos if she was afraid of a beating then acting like that over a wedding would probably be a beating later on.

and even if it was self defense... i still think that she didnt have to KILL him.  they were staying with HER family, weren't they?
