A jury convicted a Florida man of first-degree murder Wednesday in the 2018 strangling and beating death of his wife after she refused to appear on a home renovation reality TV show, prosecutors said.
David Tronnes, 55, killed his wife, Shanti Cooper-Tronnes, on April 24, 2018, in the couple’s home in the Orlando neighborhood of Delaney Park, the State Attorney’s Office for the Ninth Judicial Circuit said in a statement Wednesday.
And yet you disagree with the fact that the chance of being murdered increases when they make the choice to leave? Even when provided evidence?
I disagree with the suggestion that “getting away is in no way a path to safety”.
Statistically it's true so have fun with that ig
It’s like escaping a war-torn country as a refugee. Is that trip dangerous? Yes. Does that mean they should stay in an unsafe situation? No.
It's not the same. Not every abusive relationship is a threat to your life but 75% of the time escaping an abusive relationship adds a new threat to life. Maybe a better way of putting it would have been "a guaranteed path to safety" but at that point you're just arguing semantics. I would be extremely surprised if escaping a war-torn country adds another 75% chance you'll be murdered. And it's not an argument to not leave the relationship if that's what you're taking from all this.
You may want to reconsider your math. There’s a big difference between “75% of women who are killed by a partner are killed when they leave” and “75% of women who leave an abusive partner are killed”.
