播音员:本集讲述了1990年杰克·贝文斯被杀案,以及其妻子杰奎琳·贝文斯在审判中提出的‘受虐妇女综合征’的辩护。案件的复杂性在于,它探讨了谋杀的例外情况,以及长期家庭暴力对受害者心理和行为的影响。本案中,杰奎琳承认开枪射杀了丈夫,但辩护律师试图证明她的行为是长期受虐后的自卫行为。 检方:检方认为杰奎琳·贝文斯出于嫉妒杀害了她的丈夫杰克·贝文斯,因为杰克要与他的年轻女友同居。检方强调了杰奎琳向杰克开了15枪的事实,认为这表明了过度的暴力行为,并非出于正当防卫。 辩方:辩方承认杰奎琳杀害了杰克,但辩称她的行为是长期遭受杰克身体、精神和性虐待的结果。辩方使用了‘受虐妇女综合征’的辩护策略,并提供了大量证据证明杰克对杰奎琳的虐待,包括证人证词和杰奎琳的日记。辩方试图证明杰奎琳的行为是在长期精神压迫下的自卫行为,并非蓄意谋杀。 证人:多位证人出庭作证,包括杰克的儿子、杰奎琳餐厅的服务员以及其他认识这对夫妇的人。证词内容涉及杰克对杰奎琳的暴力行为、杰克的不忠行为以及杰奎琳遭受的长期精神虐待。这些证词为辩方的‘受虐妇女综合征’辩护提供了支持。 播音员:本案的审判结果是杰奎琳·贝文斯被判无罪。尽管她承认杀害了丈夫,但陪审团认为她的行为并非出于犯罪意图,而是长期遭受家庭暴力后的自卫行为。本案引发了人们对家庭暴力、受虐妇女综合征以及司法公正的广泛讨论。

Shownotes Transcript

OGUNQUIT, 1990: When York Police Detectives found the body of John “Jack” Bevins on his bathroom floor surrounded by blood and shell casings, it was obvious they were dealing with a homicide. But what unfolded from that April afternoon was a complex criminal case and a defense never-before seen at trial in the State of Maine.

Are there exceptions to murder? That’s what the defense was prepared to argue for their client, the victim’s wife, Jacqueline Bevins.

This is the Jack and Jackie Bevins Case, Part 2.
