A Perth woman collapses in a court dock after being sentenced to nine years in prison for trying to murder her husband who had been diagnosed with dementia.

Super sad case. She tried to kill him to ease his suffering. If he’d been on the record supporting her decision, I think the sentence would have been very different. And she lost him to natural causes anyway. 😞

    Usually a news article of someone trying to kill their spouse will paint the aggressor as a horrible person, and the victim as someone who had everything going for them and did no wrong.

    Imagine copping dementia and then getting written up as a fucking burden on the person who tried to off you against your will.
