http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/jilted-john-acquitted-texas-prostitute-death-article-1.1365975Two guys made a deal for sexual service. The woman (worked as an escort) was not warned about it, refused to provide the service and got killed because she was considered to be a "cheater". Let alone that the case was classified as a theft or robbery ( Read more... )

Disgusting.

What the hell. This seriously makes me rage. So, women have no right to refuse, withdraw or control their own consent, men have the right to kill women for not putting out, and a woman's life is worth a measly $150. This dude was so torn up by murdering a woman with a fucking AK-47 that he has to change the channel whenever guns are on the TV. Boo-hoo, douchebag. Too bad Lenora Frago can't do anything anymore because she's dead.

Unbelievable. The verdict, ELEVEN HOURS to decide hey, no big deal to spray a chick with bullets over a misunderstanding, and the comment below about how the "low life deserved it"--wow. Those guys really have no idea how they come off to the rest of the nation.

More likely, the stolen "property" here is her own body. He paid for it, she stole herself away.

That's how it was classed as theft.

And yes, this case is disgusting.

Moreover, the man is not at fault, despite the fact that prostitution isn't legal in that state?

It is possible that she did not know that she was a prostitute there. I was in a similar situation myself once. A guy came up to our dorm porch and offered money. Somebody told him "All female students sitting on the porch are prostitutes." I was a virgin at this point, there were a bunch of my friends and it was during a daytime. We laughed it off and the guy was deeply disappointed, but it was not our fault.
If the girl was poor, and was not saving herself for marriage, picking up fun time where she could find it, it its not a reason to sell her to other guy without her consent.

Oh, I see! That makes sense.

(And eek, that sounds kind of creepy, sorry that happened!)
