Murder or not

edit

Since Myrtle Bennett was acquitted, is the death of John Bennett still a 'murder' in the purely legal sense or is it an 'accidental death' case of some kind? If so, what kind? Newwhist (talk) 16:16, 4 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Does anyone know whether the jury was instructed on lesser included offenses (e.g., voluntary manslaughter) or, if so, what their verdict on any such charge was? 96.37.67.222 (talk) 04:59, 31 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hofman or Hoffman

edit

One reference says Hofman, the other Hoffman. I do not have access to other refs to break the tie. Which is it? Newwhist (talk) 17:52, 4 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Actually, significantly more happened than is described in the article. There is a need to research this properly. Also, to determine how/why Mrs. Bennett won the lawsuit she filed (in the USDC, Wn. D. Mo.) to recover on her husband's life insurance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4808:53C0:0:0:0:0:8CB (talk) 03:22, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
