I totally agree, the husband got what he deserved but I don't think Donna deserved a life sentence. I am in Criminal Justice courses right now and I have mentioned this in several classes. Others who have seen the movie agree that she should not have received life, others who have not seen the movie had different opinions. I guess they wanted Donna to be another Tracy Thurman before they did anything? Cops can be crooked too!
sharei think she should have got off & every one act like the guy never excisted

I agree
shareI was totally on her side, and think she should have got off, but not b/c he was a man beating a woman, I would be on ANYONE'S side who went through what SHE did.
Just because we lose today's battle doesn't mean we've lost tommorow's war.
Crooked cops are common. I live in a little bitty texas town and our whole force is shady. Anyone that would marry a cop is an idiot.

Hey, it is a risk that Dennis took when he became a wife beater. Not everyone is going to look the other way or accept this behavior. You never know who will step forward, a friend, a family member, a co-worker, a neighbor, to stop you. In this case, it was Donna herself. Dennis should be grateful that Donna helped him out of a bad situation.
You all might look up the real facts of this case. There was actually no proof he abused her, and, futhermore, abuse is no excuse. If she had killed him I might feel differently, but hiring someone to kill him is not self-defense. Self-defense requires an imminent danger of life. How can you pre-meditate murder and call itself-defense.
Do not get me wrong, she served 18 years and was released, which I think was fair. But if you ask Dennis' daughter, Vanessa, about abuse in the home, or elsewhere, she says it was Donna who was abusive, and never saw anything but compassion and love from her father.
Abuse is not an excuse. Especially when you have little evidence to support physical abuse.
As I said, 18 years, case closed.

Just saw this movie a couple nights ago although I only watched it up until the cops arrested Donna at the restaurant.
Anyhow, it doesn't shock me that the daughter made the claims that you stated. That's what always gets me about these movies. You never know just how accuratly the actual events are depicted and they are almost always from only one person's point of view and then on top of that, there is so much dramatization added to make the movie more interesting or "watchable".
But just for the sake of discussion, lets assume the movie was totally accurate. A point you made about hiring to kill and killing in self defense leads me to what I was thinking next while I watched the movie. Wouldn't it have been so much more convienent for her and less "criminal-like" if she had just shot him herself, at home, while he was completely vulnerable and then claimed she felt her life was in danger and was only defending herself during one of his "attacks"?

She made so many idiotic choices throughout the film:On their wedding day when he told her to not drink and broke her glass of champagne, when they went to take pictures, she should have said, in front of witnesses, I want an annulment and went to live with someone else.
She made so many idiotic choices throughout the film: like GOING BACK TO HIM after her sister WARNED HER that he'd say anything to get her back!!!!
And she didn't even leave when he said she could leave!!! What does she do, she tells him she's pregnant! She should have left and had the baby on her own. Ridiculous woman.
