Love is a powerful emotion. Anyone who has ever lost a lover
can attest to that. Once you have experienced heartbreak, you never forget that
pain. That’s why it so surprises me when these lovers-triangle, crime-of-passion,
type things go down.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
A happy wife is a happy life
These and other colorful verses are well known for a reason.
People, and women in particular, are often in the headlines for murderous
reasons wrapped around some thorny, romantic entanglement. Passion will drive
you to do so much more than you normally would. When someone you have loved
betrays you the pain is often enough to send a person’s mind off the deep end.
Case in point; one Mrs. Marlene Johnson of North Carolina.
Marlene’s belief that her husband’s assistant, Shirley
Pierce, was sleeping with him had caused her many problems in the last few
years. She had repeatedly attacked the woman. There was even a restraining
order in place.
Evidence shows Marlene had broken into Shirley’s home and
beat and stabbed her to death as well as burglarized her home. Investigators
say she was found in her bathtub with a knife blade still embedded in her neck.
Her body showed signs of a severe beating prior to the stabbing.
She claims she is innocent and that there was a suspicious
black guy seen near the victim’s house earlier. The death penalty is on the
table because of the burglary.
No evidence has surfaced to prove that the husband Ervin
Johnson was having an affair with Ms. Pierce.
Sadly it looks like Marlene just lost her mind in the
process of losing her marriage and no one noticed her decent.
