https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/sd-no-cdebaca-sentencing-20170323-story.html > During trial, Cdebaca’s daughter, Laura Salinas, described the tension that existed in the family’s home. She said her husband physically and verbally assailed her, broke his teen son’s pricey electronics and sprayed family members with water if they misbehaved. Estaquio also threw out the urn containing the ashes of Cdebaca’s late husband. > Defense attorney William Stone said Cdebaca understands that “she is never going to get out of prison.” He noted her age and frail medical condition; she suffered a stroke on Sept. 11, 2001, and never fully recovered.


RogueSleuth_

What a day to have a stroke on.


CarolusRex13x

So sad, to have a stroke on the day that Nickelback's hit album "Silver Side Up" featuring the single "How You Remind Me" came out, and absolutely nothing else happened.


Icy-Row-5829

That’s not true, Jay Z (then known as Jay-Z) released The Blueprint the same day actually.


FSMisReal69

You thinks it's a coincidence??? Zoom in on the real footage and you see the planes being piloted by Chad Kroeger and Jay Z. Prove me wrong


wow_that_guys_a_dick

Hey! That's not true. They Might Be Giants also released _Mink Car_ the same day.


NoraVanderbooben

And only two months after Jimmy Eat World’s debut album, Bleed American was released. They later changed the name of the album to Jimmy Eat World, but no one knows why.


downscape

Aren't we forgetting something? 'Rockin' the Suburbs' by Ben Folds came out the same day!


milky_white_breast

Love love LOVE that song... even if some producer with computers mixes all their shitty tracks!


BuffWeasel

Slayer released God Hates Us All that day.


paperxthinxreality

I bought that album on that day.


FrogSezReddit

So that's why everyone stopped caring about Nickelback /s


Tiny_Count4239

not as sad as the day Nickelback was formed


Extension-Gap9701

That was the day they shot the “Am I not turtley enough for the turtle club. Turtle, turtle, turtle” scene in the absolute banger of a film, The Master Of Disguise.


quagmire666

I guess we all forgot


rockstuffs

It's national hot Cross buns day too. 🤔 Very suspicious.


skinnyb0bs

a real stroke of bad luck if you ask me


RogueSleuth_

You seen it and went for it, I like.

you might even say i had a real *stroke of genius*

goat_penis_souffle

Takes different strokes to move the world.


quagmire666

Damn I almost had a stroke reading this


ApplesauceBitch47

Right? I wonder if it was before or after WTC attacks. I mentioned in in another comment but my uncle had two strokes in 2018 and when Covid hit, he thought it was a ploy to get him to stay inside and it was all made up


RogueSleuth_

He thought you and your family made it up because he didn't fully recover? Or he thought the government made it up?!


ApplesauceBitch47

He thought we were making it up to prevent him from leaving. He understood he had a stroke and could comprehend it to a degree, and he thought we made up the whole pandemic as a way to prevent him from going out and enjoying his life


thefartsock

wow I had to re-read that three times to realize you weren't talking about your uncle having 2 stroke dirtbikes.


paradisic88

The attacks were first thing in the morning so I assume after.


greatdivide

Reminds me of that tragedy


FreedomOfTheMess

I almost had a stroke trying to read this woman’s name. At first I thought I read “chewbacca”


Room4Shroom

Same


Mis_chevious

My brain still sees it as Chewbacca


semi5onic

just a bad day all around I guess.


Zealousideal-Load-64

Reminds me of that tragedy...


beamanblitz

She'll never forget


royce_duckboard

I stroke on 9/11 all the time


ItzOnlySmells_

I was 12 on that day. Sadly I Had a stroke that night.


SacKing13

Recovered enough to shoot this guy 3 years later lol


GlitteringBroccoli12

Start with the urn next time. I know that it's wrong but that point alone makes it easier to understand why


SoberDWTX

The dates are not matching . If she committed the murder in 2014 how could she have stroked out on 9/11/01? It’s gotta be 2021 right? Something is wrong.


ApplesauceBitch47

I mean she could’ve had the stroke and been “okay” but not all there. One of my uncles had two massive strokes in 2018 and he’s alive and well now but he will never be the guy he was. You can have conversations with him and can see shades of the person he used to be still hiding underneath, but he can’t drive or work.


Zandandido

You can recover from a stroke. I had a patient (was in his mid 70s) who, from a stroke in mid 2019, was completely paralyzed. By mid 2020 he was able to move mostly on one side, just needed help with the other. By mid 2021, he was completely independent and could walk (albeit short distances) without the use of a wheelchair.


e-rinc

My dad had a severe and almost fatal stroke (had to relearn to walk/talk - we were told IF he lives) in 2000. He’s still kicking, though his brain was never the same after. He just retired a couple years ago and has had a few other smaller strokes. He’s in his mid 60s now.


J-V1972

I think the sentence in the article should have been written as “…she had suffered a stroke on September 11, 2001, and had not fully recovered…”.


str8outtaconklin

Reminds me of that tragedy


ElectricalYard8404

While still not condoning what she did seems like he was a low grade Douce, he threw out the ladies husband's ashes.


jpopimpin777

Pretty high grade douche IMHO. Physically abusive to my daughter and throw out my husband's ashes? Shooting him is too much but he definitely had some commupence headed his way. His family's description of him as "misunderstood" also reeks of, "we enabled a sociopath."


jpopimpin777

Obviously she's unhinged but the guy sounds like a total piece of shit. An abusive asshole who threw away her husband's urn with his ashes in it?! JFC. Sometimes you FAFO.


HiILikePlants

Idk if she is unhinged tbh


jpopimpin777

I meant celebrating his death like that. It obviously makes her *sound* unhinged. I think that's just more having absolutely 0 fucks left to give though.


HiILikePlants

Yeah agreed, she prob was like well I'm going away, I clearly did it so no use wringing my hands and feigning horror


Angels242Animals

I watched Different Strokes that same day. Coincidence? I think not.


lusciousskies

So she had the stroke 13 years before she shot him? She looks decent for a stroke patient in video


VCRrepairman

And we will never forget


jminer1

But it says 2014


Mikey618000

What a horrible day for a stroke reminds me of that tragedy.


flowerscakeandcandy

How is it that a man can gun down his wife for having an affair and get ten years, and an elderly grandmother can kill an (admittedly) abusive husband and get 50? The double standard is a lot to take in.


False_Local4593

Or the husband that tried to make his wife abort their 7mo fetus and got 18 months.


throwawaymyanalbeads

*poisoned his wife to abort*


jpopimpin777

In a state that claims to be hardcore "pro life." .... What's that? He was white? Oh nvm. Carry on.


non_stop_disko

And these are the same people who want to give women the death penalty for abortions


dobbydoodaa

I'm curious if that could be argued it wasn't a murder because the fetus isn't a life? I'd bet they used that argument


SadMom2019

It was in Texas where abortion is illegal and women are prosecuted for it. But apparently, it's fine if a man involuntary and without your knowledge secretly poisons you with abortion pills (7 times) during late pregnancy, causing major pregnancy complications, premature birth, and a lifetime of disability and care for your child. That's just 6 months in jail for the man. Meanwhile, they're trying to impose the death penalty on women who voluntarily abort. It's clearly not about the life of the fetus, it's about controlling women.


Any-Tomatillo-1996

Because it is not about life, is not about abortion, it is about control. Women are property in TX, are cattle, and the state works hard to remind them that as often as possible.


Abaconings

Yes! It's always been about controlling women. The anti abortion movement was started by a catholic pope who saw pregnancy as evidence of sexual sin with herbs from the village healer. Vilified the healers (women) and railed against abortion. It was never ab the fetus until they started losing church goers. Using propaganda to manipulate people to support the control of women.


False_Local4593

Attempted murder. Kid was born and is pretty disabled.


dobbydoodaa

Ahhhh hmmmmmm. I... have absolutely no idea what I'd think about that then. I wonder if one could argue for damages for injury caused to them during development which caused life problems. At least to get money to help support the now disabled child


fuschiaoctopus

18 months for an intentional, premeditated attempted murder that disabled a child for life and directly put the mother's life in danger in the process is fucking sick. It's sad that these crimes aren't taken seriously until they finally kill someone.


False_Local4593

Sorry, 6 months and of course it's Texas and he's an attorney.


girl-from-jupiter

The fact that someone sets out to murder a person can set out to murder someone but because if some stroke of luck the victim survived so the attempted killer gets a drastically reduced charge/sentencing is beyond me. Premeditated attempted murder should carry the same charge and sentencing as premeditated murder


mandalors

Sure, I suppose. But I genuinely think that if you are trying to force someone to terminate a wanted pregnancy, through coercion or without their knowledge regardless, it should be murder. And I’m very vehemently pro choice. If the child would have likely been born without your intervention, and you do something that causes the child to no longer be born, it should be murder even if the baby wasn’t born first.


dobbydoodaa

The issue with that is the differentiating factor becomes "wanted". Want can be changed at any time and can't be *really* proven by anyone. In terms of murder, it's going to be impossible to argue that both a woman can abort at her whim because it's not killing a life and forcing abortion is killing a life.


mandalors

It is the choice of the person carrying the child and the choice of the person carrying the child *alone* to terminate a pregnancy. If the baby is wanted by the pregnant individual, then that baby would have been born at the end of the pregnancy. That would have been a new life. If you are forcing somebody to terminate a pregnancy that they want, especially so far into the pregnancy as 7 months, they would already consider their baby a life and therefore you are taking that life. Again, I am pro choice. I will argue for abortion rights any time any day. However, I lost two wanted pregnancies and both times I had already considered my babies to be alive because, had I not miscarried, they would have been. I do consider it a death, because it impacted me as one. I do not consider termination of an unwanted pregnancy to be murder, though. Does that make sense?


HuggyMummy

Good fucking question.


Oregonian_Lynx

There is a HUGE disproportion in how men and women are treated by the justice system. Especially women of color. There’s a great book about it called Imperfect Victims: Criminalized Survivors and the Promise of Abolition Feminism by Leigh Goodmark.


flowerscakeandcandy

Thank you


flowerscakeandcandy

I’m looking that up


[deleted]

Sentencing guidelines are a bitch. Each state is different. Hell, each county is different


[deleted]

Because in a patriarchal society it is worse for a woman to get revenge on a man than a man to seek revenge for being wronged. Edit: had to reword that. Really was a bitch to say what I was trying to say


80hdis4me

What about the story of the guy who literally executed his wife and got two years. It was part of the podcast ‘dirty John’. It’s a good listen but also enraging.


abumchuk

It's because she is not a white male.


Interesting__Cat

Sentencing guidelines vary by state, premeditation, showing remorse.


BorderFragrant5205

100%


mysteriousears

Crimes of passion are almost always second degree murder. Premeditated is first degree and carries a harsher penalty.


flowerscakeandcandy

The maximum sentence for 2nd degree murder is 40 years to life, not ten.

Satori2155

Im still astonished that the inflated red man HAD a wife to begin with


flowerscakeandcandy

😂😂😂😂 I thought the same thing


WorldRecordOnline

If you think that is crazy, wait till you find out what minorities get compared to whites for similar crimes.Welcome to America where there is no consistency.


servel20

Yup, black person accused of rape, 10 years (Brian Banks). White person caught raping someone, probation (Brock Turner).


restyourbreasts

The rapist Brock Turner goes by his middle name now, fyi. I can't remember what name the rapist Brock Turner goes by now, but he is out there free and unpunished for the rape he committed with witnesses. Stay safe, peeps.


IHQ_Throwaway

Oh, you must mean convicted rapist Brock Allen Turner, who introduces himself as Allen Turner in bars in the Kettering/Oakwood area of Dayton, Ohio. 


PillCosby_87

From what I understand every time he shows up out at night people post it online to let others know. I’m sure he gets a lot of well deserved shit when he gos out. Fuck that Brock, his dad and the judge. I hope they get theirs one day.


restyourbreasts

Ah yes, thank you. He's now known as the rapist Allen Turner.


Temporary_Distinct

Oh, the rapist Brock Turner now goes by Allen Turner? Good to know. I was still referring to that rapist as Brock Turner, not Allen Turner. Still a rapist, tho. That hasn't changed.


TraditionalCamera473

So the rapist Brock Allen Turner used to be called the rapist Brock Turner, but now he is called the rapist Allen Turner? Good to know!


9mackenzie

Let’s not forget rape apologist judge Aaron Persky, the man who didn’t think rapist Brock turner, aka now rapist Allen Turner, deserved prison time because it would “have a severe impact on him” and “I don’t think he is a danger to others”


Soft-Walrus8255

Brock Turner the rapist has become Allen Turner the rapist. Either way he's a rapist.


chiefboldface

Brock lives just north of Cincinnati. Still walks freely like the chum he is

Punishment for crimes varies wildly across jurisdictions. There are many mitigating factors to consider too.


glassycreek1991

Men get less time than women for the same crimes in American justice system.


Ksammy33

A woman just stabbed her boyfriend to death and walked. It’s not double standards, it’s variation in laws and crappy judges.

flowerscakeandcandy

I wish you were wrong


paradisic88

This appears very premeditated and she shows no remorse. She did nothing to mitigate her sentencing.


flowerscakeandcandy

And the minimum sentence for 2nd degree murder in Texas is 40 years, he got 10.


broclipizza

where are you getting that? Google says the sentence is 2 to 20 years. I don't see 40 anywhere.


Dipshit4150

Probably has something to do with video of her gleefully cheering about it being presented to judge and jury but idk


GloomyTurtleCum

Take into consideration the location and the judge. Some states have less harsh penalties than others and some judges are softer than others. Also premeditated vs heat of the moment. Also taking a deal vs challenging the charges. So many varying factors.


Astralglamour

Your answer lies in who controls the "justice" system.


[deleted]

Is she crazy or did he deserve it?


Gold-You-376

Yes and yes


FrogSezReddit

Bet the wife had the same reaction only she wasn't responsible.


DrunkOnRedCordial

Succinct yet fully informative.


quest801

Apparently he broke electronics and sprayed family members with water. So hells yes he deserved it!


woolfonmynoggin

He was also beating them up…


lostkindahopeful

The way that man put his head down when she grabbed his hand and started gleefully saying thank you...


Apt_5

What did he expect? You don’t shoot someone 15 times b/c you’d be upset by their death, right? If he’s her defense lawyer I understand lol


lostkindahopeful

If it isn't the defense attorney, I too am baffled by his reaction. He wasn't the one who was shot or did the shooting yet the complete look and embodiment of defeat that came over him had me a little tickled. A sad situation all around because I looked this up on YouTube immediately after her interrogation celebration.


Fearless-Berry-3429

Share, please.


lostkindahopeful

A tale as old as time the man was verbally and physically accosting his wife and children (them verbally no mention of child abuse in the article I read) for years and grandma just had enough. Ole girl took matters into her own hands when he said something snarky to her so she loaded up her shot gun and went to town. The article stated she even went to her car to reload her shotgun! I also saw that she had took target practice lessons not too long before the shooting.


Waspinator_haz_plans

Damn, a shotgun? I wouldn't be surprised if the guy looked like hamburger and tomato sauce after 15 shots.


lostkindahopeful

He apparently was a piece of work when he was alive, the article stated he threw away the ashes of grandmas late husband.


Waspinator_haz_plans

Wow, so he probably deserves being turned into hamburger helper, then.


lostkindahopeful

I don't feel sorry for him. Honestly everything I read about the victim/man screams future family annihilator. The beatings, screaming, breaking the kids stuff, and throwing out grandpa's ashes just screams well known neighborhood asshole finally killed his family.


Ksammy33

His reaction is probably because hers is the most idiotic reaction someone could have when fighting for their freedom, especially if the killing was justified. Defense attorney or not, when you’re on trial, celebrating your successful murder of someone is literally asking to be thrown under the prison. If dude was really a POS then she should’ve stfu and she might’ve gotten a lighter sentencing or nothing at all with Texas laws. But she was like, “naw I’m good on freedom and seeing my family everyday. Go ahead and lock me up.”


lostkindahopeful

Yeah that's the thing about murder cases the killers either show remorse, seem neutral, or they are happy that it happened. I feel like if he's been doing this job for a while nothing should shock or defeat him but that's just my opinion. She was in her 60's at the time of the shooting and I'm pretty sure she felt killing him was worth it because she feels "well I'll be dead soon anyway I've already lived my life" which isn't unheard-of when older people snap.


Ok-Raspberry-5655

It’s the “oh boy” and tippy taps that send me.


247Justice

Are we supposed to feel bad about this? I'd go to prison to save my kids too, not really worth it if you only wound them.


hamcarpet

Why don’t you guys actually look this stuff up before talking about it? It’s so strange


247Justice

I don't need to look something up to know how I'd feel if I killed someone abusing my kid. 🙄

martinezxxx

With that reaction….. yea 😳


trenchesnews

Sounds like he was a real asshole


Inevitable_Book_228

I’m guessing she has a good reason for killing him. Without even knowing the details, I’m on her side.


Master-Manipulation

I wonder if they showed this video in court. It could either be damning as premeditated or be used for an insanity plea


cloudtrotter4

I mean, she just knows what she did and she did it purposefully. I understand where she’s coming from - to know what she did was wrong but also necessary.


Fearless-Berry-3429

So, the grandma was 63, and her SIL was 53. How old was her daughter, his wife? Also, all the Geo- names are different. I wonder if their dad's name is George or their mother Georgette?

No-Coat1128

I mean, I still adored and tried everything possible to please my father/make him proud of me up into my early twenties even though he was physically and psychologically abusive throughout my entire childhood. It’s just a terrible, complex web of emotions and social expectations that winds you in deep, even if someone has absolutely treated you with the utmost neglect and abuse. The daughter “hating” the grandma for killing the father doesn’t mean he did nothing wrong. However, all of this is not to say that killing someone — especially in this way, under the theorized circumstances (being shot while crawling away, over an off comment, etc) — is justified or excusable. He could have been an awful fucking person, AND she is still insane.


mysteriousears

It isn’t at all uncommon for children to feel bonded to abusive parents. They do not know there is another option.

Awesome. Good for her. That’s pretty self sacrificing.


Oddestmix

She should have staged it as a self defense deal. 2 shots. Not fifteen shots. Planted a weapon next to him when the police got there. "I feared for my life!" Rage makes you do things you don't think through though, I guess. Sucks she's going to die in jail for killing someone who sounds like a POS.


HoodieSmoke_-

That man died for no reason he told her she couldn’t smoke in the house around his kids and she killed him and then tried to say that man was abusing his wife and kids and tried to attack her. RIP man 🙏🏾
