He beat her up a lot, but a woman was strangled less than a year before the incident, she died, very similar to what Sally was going through...Sally feared for her life. She even mentioned to me about the Titus case, see what happens when professional male bodybuilders strangle women, they die!
Yes. Gordon Kimbrough and kristy Ramsey. I know all about that one. He was a nutjob who didn't like to have Ramsey leave him. Strangled her with an extension cord or whatever. The prosecutors held the room silent for the entire length of time it would have taken Ramsey to die: about 3 or 5 minutes. He got what he deserved.
You could also have said about the Titus/rYan/ James case: "See what happens when a drug addict female freak tasers a girl then shoots morphine into her, then pummels her while she lay in a coma, then has her husband finish up the job?" That case has very little to do with bodybuilding.
Sally McNeil's comment is more than a little self delusional and a rationalization. Just about ALL women who are strangled by ANY MAN die. The disparity of the respective size/strength for the average man and woman is substantial.
I am not saying for an instant that Ray McNeil was a nice guy. If he beat her, then he deserved to go to jail. It is a harsh injustice that the victims of these sorts of crimes ( spousal or even date abuse/ violence ) often have to leave town or simply run for their life! Yet this is what must be done if you dont' want to end up in jail yourself.
She received a 19 to life sentence. She has not appeared for parole. She has had several reasons to appeal the sentence, the last appeal made it before the US supreme court, but didn't win her her freedom
