Innocent before proven guilty, she maybe 100% innocent
Since Park is an Assistant Professor of Economics, I’m sure she felt this was the cheapest way to kill her husband. At least she put her education to work.
Might be acceptable in her culture
What culture is that? the MAGA culture?
Doubt trump lost a voter here
“What culture is that? the MAGA culture?”
We know that the odds are in favor of her being a Democrat, because she is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Simpson College.(read as a teacher)
Well, she would fit right in with Hilary and Ted Kennedy comes to mind.
I can’t believe you people bring politics into something like this. Totally disgusting by both sides.
Do the same thing to her same way see how she likes it. Avoid jail time, spare tax payer dollars. A college professor but still no common sense what a Freakshow!!!
