Hey Johnnyspade! It's Kevin Leland, the gun toting, angelic tattletale. Nice try with this story. The thing is, if you want to do a better job, at least trying to interview the people involved in the story. I would have gladly talked to you, especially now that her case is done -and so is mine. I got misdemeanor possesion (carrying and old expired narcotic painkiller script in a bottle mislabeled, but with my name, of prescription ibuprofen.) The gun? That's quite legal in Vermont. I always carry a gun. Not just to protect myself, but in case some madman tries to shoot up a town meeting and a congresswoman or a school. Incidentally I think Zimmerman was a douche. I never would have pulled the trigger in that same situation. And besides, Chrissy and some of her f**k-buddies have threatened my life. See, the story was more like this: I met Chrissy on OKCupid, yes, an awesome, free dating site. Before we even met in person, on the phone, she confessed to murder… I think more of a 'Tell-Tale Heart' thing than an 'I love you so much, I trust you with my deepest darkest secrets' thing. But of course, I agree, that was bizarre. So there an then, she made me, against my will, a witness to her serious crime. She told me, without details, that she and her girls were abused. I agreed to meet her, because I can go for the kind of woman who would off some asshole who abused her and her children. However, I found out that her husband was NOT abusive. She was. In the span of about eight weeks of a strictly platonic relationship, she regretted her confession to me, and then threatened to kill me if I ever told. At that point I contemplated a pre-emptive strike. As you can imagine, I was very pissed, because I befriended her and her kids and tried to help them…no good deed goes unpunished, right? But, I thought her poor kids suffered enough violence and death at this point, so decided to forego the idea of slipping an IED under her (and the guy she conspired with in making those threats against me) seats and blasting their fat asses through the top of their heads, and instead played a proud and important role in helping the VT State Police get evidence to bring her to justice, the compassionate, legal, Vermont, American way. Although being a 'tattle-tale' put me in danger, I was not disappointed. I learned so much about how our justice system works, and about the true, compassionate and fair professionals that make it work, and I'm impressed and proud of them all, from her attorney, to the States attorney, to Detective Annis, who worked the case. So I agree with you, killing is not the way to go, sometimes, like in my case, even when it IS truly in self defense. I also agree that anyone subjected to severe domestic violence, should seek help in order to retreat from the situation before blood is spilled. Her husband, tried to reach out, but being male, I don't think he was quite as able to get any, as a female would have been under the same circumstances. Did you know that he was blind and therefore disabled, and quite vulnerable? There are a lot more weird circumstances to this very strange story. Discovery ID will be coming out with a show about it in late fall, and I'm about half way through writing a story about the experience. As a guy who writes for a 'legal site' you should watch how you try to label a person who is on the side of our justice system. Our system can't work if witnesses are threatened or stigmatized as 'rats' or 'tattletales' for coming forward wit the truth, and people will get away with murder. What if it was your brother who was driven into that tree? As a writer in general, you shouldn't jump to conclusions. Try a little harder to get more facts before you tell a story. No hard feelings -though that could change depending how you respond to my comment. Peace.

Hi Kevin. Just watched your story on the CI channel here in Scotland. Wow you had a lucky escape.
Love and best wishes x
