The twelve member jury, the background prep for the case with the muredered guy's lecture extract on subjects like SATANIC RITUALISTIC ABUSE , (yeah its an audio file, so you are really hearing a dead man speaking...nay a "MURDERED" man speaking...) , invites to the public who have had affairs with their therapists al^a Susan, to share their "experiences"...by god, never ending spice on this blog.

Susan Polk was sentenced to a 16 year term in jail and the long long trial that caught the attention and imagination of the nation, public and the media has been discussed threadbare in every possible media arm. Read this angle to the story...one that doesnt favor Susan.

This book is about the nationally known Susan Polk-Felix Polk case. In October 2002, Susan Polk brutally murdered Felix Polk, her ex husband. She claimed it was in self defense. She claimed he had been physically, sexually and mentally abusing her for years. He claimed (while she was alive) that she was delusional, that the marriage had been poor for years before their divorce, and that she was a poor parent and spendthrift. The murder pitted their three children against one another, two sided with prosecution during the court case and one (ironically the one with the most legal problems)sided with the defense.

What a nasty bit of writing! Agreed the woman was a psychpath and didnt deserve sympathy...but it was obvious that she was sick to the core...whether she had been speaking the truth or not. Judging cant be our lot...and who knowswhat the future holds for each of us?
