Anyone watched the Gabby Petito documentary

You started a thread on a young woman rolling her eyes and giving sass to a man who went on to murder her. You said that the jury would be shown the same footage in order to lessen his conviction. Inferring that he couldn't help himself because she was 'annoying'.

It's been said on this thread that she was an abuser and he probably snapped. These are excuses for his behaviour.

Sane people think he could have left if she was so annoying.

I mean, if we wanted to be all sensitive and offended about this can we explore whether we think that Gabbys parents got paid for their part in this documentary? Do we think profiting from your daughter’s death is ok?

where on earth are you going with this one?
Why shouldn’t they get paid from a documentary about their daughter?
Profiting from their daughter’s death? Fucking hell you’ve gone some bizarre agenda. There are countless parents of children who were murdered or abducted who have gone on to make money from books or tv. Why shouldn’t they? Their daughter was murdered by her partners, that doesn’t mean they are owned by the public and everything they do should be from the goodness of their hearts.

How strange that you think that calling your "but she was annoying tho" out is a victory.

That suggests it was a challenge to do so, which it wasn't. You managed that on your own in your first post.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that they would pull up the exact same videos we watched to convince the jury that his acted in a reactionary way and not in a premeditated way.

nor did I say or infer that her behavior deserved her death.

You said she was 'annoying' and her character would be discussed in court to see if he reacted to her. That infers she deserved her death.

I asked you several times why her character would be discussed in court and you said she was annoying and the court would be shown the same footage.

You were saying that the jury could also find her 'annoying' and give him a lesser sentence.

Now you’re validating each other like some sort of victory.

I am giving an opinion on a discussion forum. No idea what you mean by 'victory'.
I actually find this thread sad and unpleasant to be honest with you. So well done OP 😲

Who are 'you people'?

Females? Posters who think it isn't right to demonise a murder victim in the hope she can be blamed to some extent for her death? Or try to start a conversation about the bereaved parents and whether they've been paid?

Exactly. And when that didn't run, let's talk about the bereaved parents and whether they've been paid.

It's all so obvious, it's untrue.

Would expect nothing less from a "horrific she was murdered.....but she was a bit annoying tbf" poster.

And you can argue that all you want op but that's what your op, and similar posters comments, have boiled down to.

And mine!

Passive agressive because he/she has no answer

Just to let everyone know. @Worriedsickmostofthetime has put a laughing emoji on my post.

@Worriedsickmostofthetime You're hilarious. 'All sensitive and offended'.

You were pretty obviously victim blaming because a young woman had the temerity to be 'annoying'. I get it; rape myths and domestic abuse myths are embedded in our culture.

It wasn't so long ago that nagging provocation was used as a defence in the UK. The judge and perpetrator would give each other knowing looks as he let him off, because we all know how her indoors goes on.

She must have done something - if she didn't wind him up - if she just kept her mouth shut...

In this thread - if she wasn't so disrespectful - he must have snapped - it's difficult being together 24/7 - she abused him - he reacted to her character...

The fact is he was an abuser and his behaviour escalated to murder. In the UK two women a week are murdered on average and many kill themselves or suffer disabilities because of domestic abuse.

We've only just outlawed the 'rough sex' defence. Men were getting away with murder by saying she consented. You couldn't make it up.

You were brought up in a misogynist society OP, so it's hardly surprising you've internalised it.

Why are you surprised producers showed her uncomfortable in the van? It's not like that's a personal failing on her part. She was stuck in an abusive relationship, and van life isn't all it's cracked up to be. I got the impression she worked long hrs to pay for the trip/van, but obviously didn't have experience with editing and was frustrated by the lack of content they were able to produce.

Dear oh dear... I would stop digging that hole if I were you OP.

You seem determined to cast a murder victim, and now her poor poor parents in a bad light.
It really is not a good look from you at all

BTW have you actually watched the whole thing now, because when you started this thread you had only seen one episode. .

There's no need to question my intelligence. But we have the crux of your thinking here:

She's 'annoying' and he 'acted in a reactionary way and not in a premeditated way.'

This is why you began the thread in the first place, you think he had a reason to kill her - because she was 'annoying'.

It's highly unlikely that a man who murdered his girlfriend by bashing in her head and strangling her, would convince a jury that he reacted because she was 'annoying'.

It would be difficult to prove it was premeditated but any expert witness could explain how domestic abuse escalates and there was plenty of evidence that he was abusive.

You don't get a lesser sentence for murder because someone annoyed you. And you're calling me thick.

How would discussing her character get him a lesser sentence? I understand what the poster wrote.
