Something about all of that doesn't seem to indicate self-defense to me. The fact that at some point she took photos of him bleeding to death (which she then deleted) also don't support the self-defense claim.Yep, I have to agree with you Tib. Now I haven't bothered to look into this case, as you have, but let me add my 2c.
I've got to say that even if the guy did mess her around and use her, he doesn't deserve to die because of it.
I'm a rather traditional when it comes to sex, and it upsets me greatly when men use women or women use men. One of my friends got knocked up when she was 18, and then dumped by the bastard. One of my friends used to get beaten up by her boyfriend every other day. She used to go out and use random men - 2 or 3 times a week. One of my closer friends uses (and hurts) woman after woman.
If there's one thing I've learned in all this it's that you need to take responsibility for your own actions, if you let people use you and walk all over you, then you can't expect the situation to improve and change all on its own.
If you're dumb enough to join a religion because you're interested in someone then that's your own problem. And if you're a bad enough person to use people as "sex toys", regardless of the fact that they "let you" there are consequences one way or the other, and feeling the wrath of their anger and resentment at you is one such consequence.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
