I saw something on the news yesterday. Susan Polk has been accused of killing her husband. Death by stabbing, 27 times. She claims self-defense. One of her sons will testify against her. The other will testify for the defense. Susan Polk claims that her husband attacked her and that she had no choice but to kill him.
I watched the news. I saw it. What troubled me is the amount of
sympathy she got from the news people. They're supposed to be
impartial. I wonder if they would have been so sympathetic if the
case was about a man claiming self-defense after killing his wife.
We don't know the truth as of yet. Maybe Mr. Polk lost it and
tried to kill his wife. Or maybe Susan Polk was a violent woman with a temper and she killed her hubby in cold blood. We don't know.
Impartiality is rare these days. Especially from a certain blonde female news reporter.
