Woman threatened before partner killed

Another case of the media preemptively jumping to the defense of a woman accused of a crime:

Woman threatened before partner killed

So, basically she was found to be trying to get someone to kill her ex-boyfriend of FOUR YEARS because he was allegedly threatening her and, when she couldn't, said "Don't worry, I will f***ing stab him myself".

The article then goes on to mention that when the victim turned up at the Marrickville home he was stabbed five times.

What is the article leaving out?  Was he lured there?  Were his abusive messages just messages?  Did he have a history of documented abuse?  Hearsay should not be admissible as 'evidence'.

Depending on the outcome of this trial (I believe she'll get a suspended sentence at best), the lesson to all women looking to kill an ex-partner is to tell all of your friends in the months leading up to the final act that the guy is being abusive.  Doesn't matter if he is or not, because as far as the media is concerned all that matters is that you SAID he is to your friends.

It takes a certain kind of person to try to hire someone to kill another person, and it's not a normal kind.

UPDATE:  The link to this article no longer works.  I wonder why yahoo removed this story.
