two words: BIRTH CONTROL
Would have changed a few of these situations

I just started watching the show this year and they're all repeats of past seasons. I've seen less that 11 episodes and there have been 4 stories where a minister, pastor, preacher or man of the cloth was the murderer. Every one of the motives was mainly about lust & sex.
Episode: 102-Paulette Burleson (murdered)
Title: "Broken Vows, Bloody Murder
Killed by: Pastor Tracy Burleson New Mount Calvary Church
Episode 204 – Kristopher Miller (murdered)
Title: “The Sinner and the Saint”
Killed byr:Derrick Griffin, an associate pastor at the North Side's True Vine Missionary Baptist Church.
Episode 208 - Arletha Hopkins (murdered)
Title: "Sins & Secrets"
Killed by: Pastor Anthony Hopkins
Episode 215 – Latrese Curtis (murdered)
Title: A Lethal Love Affair
Killed by:Bishop Robert Reaves
"MOJO2014"
Most of the cases on this show I've seen before either on Snapped or a ID show
"Boys only want love if it's torture"
I had stopped watching 'Snapped' because it got to be too much but many others have also said most of these stories were done on that show. I guess TV One wanted to showcase true crime dealing with African-American murderers and their victims only. All of the cases are truly heartbreaking. I know the families of the victims are destroyed and I would lose my mind in some cases like the ones below.
The 55 yr old cabdriver that was adorned by the entire town. Murdered for the life insurance policies his wife had recently taken out. The wife had her ex-con boyfriend kill him. The boyfriend had just got out of prison after serving 30 yrs for murder! Victim:Terry Camper,53. Killed by:John Murry,62.
The National Guardsman whose wife wanted out of the marriage and literally cut him up like garbage (cut off his head, arms & legs which were never found) and threw his torso away. Victim: Ramel McCaster,22.Killed by: Juatasha Denton-Ray McCaster.
Two cases where a woman said she was pregnant and the boyfriend who did not want a child, killed her only to later find out she was not pregnant.
Victim:Phyllis Malone. Killer: Police officer Chancy Jones.
Victim:Marlisa Wells,16. Killed by: Matthew Wilkins,20.
One case where a woman has a baby by a married police officer. On the day before he's to give blood for a paternity test, he secretly meets her & the baby in a park- shoots her and parks her car with the baby in it on a hot summer day. Police find her shot dead and the car but don't look inside until 2 days later. By then the baby's dead. Victims:Wynetta Wright,20.Jaylin Wright,1 yr old. Killed by: Police officer Richmond Phillips. (I live in Wash DC-this happened in nearby Hillcrest Heights,Md)
The woman with 2 children by an ex-boyfriend who played for the Chicago Bulls. Murdered, along with the youngest child, a baby girl, by her attorney & former boyfriend because she fired him. Which meant he would lose out on substantial fees for representing her in a child support case. The victims:Nova Henry, 24, and her 10-month-old daughter, Ava. Killed by: Frederick Goings, 40.
Three women with the same first name killed by violent boyfriends & a husband
Victim:Tamika Houston, 24 Killed by:Christopher Hampton
Victim:Tameka Claiborne Killed by:Michael D. Solomon,29.
Victim:Tamika Mack Norton,31. Killed by: Quincy Dean Norton Sr.
