I think if you try to kill someone by throwing them out of a plane without a working parachute at 1.2km above the ground - and they survive - then you may as well just give up. Not try to kill them another couple of times!!!

This guy never did! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8eP0ntOJ1U  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I think the field had been freshly ploughed and there was still one thread of her parachute attached which must have given it some aerodynamic properties. Notwithstanding her injuries were horrendous.

Must have been. Cant be a hard surface. The 9/11 jumpers splattered to pieces.  :o

Yes then there was an argument with the insurance companies over whether the deaths were suicides or not.

Really? The situation forced them to jump. plus how would they know who jumped and who did not?

I think the insurance companies did pay out in the end. Some argued that people were just falling due to the smoke and heat.

That link only askes the question weather its true or not.

I also heard rumours about bible nut funeral directors refusing service to them because its suicide  :-\

I heard this on the radio the other day - she admitted she lied about the time he spent in the toilet, admitted she wanted to "cast suspicion on him" in her  police statements, and has gone back on her claim  that leaving her hire kit in a locker overnight (because of bad weather) was "very strange" - admitting, instead, that it wasn't that unusual!

She said she was "gunning for him" after finding out about his affairs,  and was "embarrassed" to say she might have cut away a perfectly good parachute before her reserve chute failed. If this whole case was brought on the basis of her police statements, it's not looking too good for the prosecution right now

On the other hand she had expressed suicidal thoughts, which her husband may have got wind of, he had already tampered with a gas valve in an attempt to kill her, reminding me of the Michael Blagg case, she had already made provisions to change her will in favour of the children due to his gambling addiction and he wanted to cut loose and marry his new love with no alimony due to a dead spouse.

i find it hard to belive that after failing to kill her the first time he would try exactly the same method agian.

Well he didn't cut two parachutes on two occasions, but maybe he just got desperate?
