Right then tell me this ... would you kill because your partner put a Hunting knife in your hand and told you to do it?
I went to an all girls school here in Adelaide, and was friends with most everyone, in fact come to think of it people were terrified of me (not that I'd hurt a fly), but there was this one girl, very slightly built, very quiet and unassuming, stayed basically to herself, but she was a nice girl and easy to get along with. I would never imagine that she could have gotten herself into the position that she has.
This is from our local Paper ... ( I won't type the whole story)
Minutes after plunging a 20cm hunting knife through her lovers chest, a frantic and hysterical Jodie Belinda Bean told police officers she was sorry, the Supreme Court heard yesterday.
As Bean was being driven from the Parafield Gardens House where she allegedly murdered Stephen Paul Platts, she told Police she wished she could turn back the clock, the court was told.
Opening the Murder trial yesterday, prosecutor Stephen Millsteed, QC, said Bean told police during the taped conversation she was "in big Trouble".
"What I did, it's terrible. Everyone's going to hate me," Bean allegedly said. "I don't want him (Mr. Platts) to die. I didn't mean to do it. He's such a nice person, he really helped me."
Mr. Millsteed said the slightly built Bean, 29, who weighs about 50kg, plunged the knife into Mr. Platts, fatally piercing his heart and liver, after he told her on February 10 last year that would leave her. He died in minutes from blood loss.
Bean has pleaded not guilty to murdering Mr. Platts also 29, claiming he assaulted her just before he died and she was acting in self defence.
But Mr. Millsteed said "This is not a case of self defence. It is one where the accused has stabbed her lover in a rage after they argued after he disclosed his intention to leave her."
Bean, and Mr Platts started having an affair in June 1999, By February the relationship had deteriorated. On the day of his death, Mr. Platts told several people he planned to split with Bean, Mr. Millsteed told the court. But Clare Oconnor for Bean, said Mr. Platts had become "extremly controlling and manipulative and cruel" towards Bean during their time together. He "humiliated and shamed" Bean by forcing her to take part in sexual acts which he videotaped, Ms O'Connor said.
She said Bean had a lower IQ than the average person, had limited Social Skills and was very dependent. "She wasn't able to cope with this mans behaviour towards her," she said.
Ms O'Connor said the couple argued shortly before Mr Platts died, but not about splitting up. She said Mr Platts was forcing Bean to reveal details about her sexual history with other men.
He grabbed her around the throat, hit her in the stomach and threatened to cut a finger off with the hunting knife.
He then handed her the weapon and told her to plunge it into his chest. "She does everything he tells her to, she doesn't fight back once" Ms O'Connor said
"He hands her the knife and tells her to stab him. He stretches out her arm and she's terrified. She knows she has to do exactly what he says or he'll kill her"
The trial is continuing.
Now my point in all of this, is that I can actually see her doing EVERYTHING he tells her BUT then so would I for Havoc, but if he was to place a hunting knife in my hand and say "Stab me", No matter how mad he had me, I couldn't do that.
Could you? How would YOU deal with her situation of being in a Humiliating relationship? Would you stay or try to get out?
I would like truthful answers because Love makes us do some strange things don't forget, and it is shown World Wide that people stay in abusive relationships.
It just freaked me because I knew this girl, and she was one of the most quiet, friendly, caring girls in the whole school. Just freaked me to know that I actually know her.
