When she turned herself in I had a feeling that maybe someone else had killed the man either to get her away from him or robbery and because of her age the sentence would be lighter if she took the blame.

Just a gut feeling

I'm not defending the guy because he's an abuser if he messed with a 15 year old, but I'm not buying the fight over her leaving story.

He is 81 and she is 15. Stabbing him to death is just not necessary if she only wanted to leave. She couldn't of just pushed him down or kicked him in the knee, and the fights over.

Nothing against 81 year old fellas but most 15 year olds whether male or female are going to win a fistfight against them.

I suspect there is more to this than we'll ever know. The police as expected are willing to accept any explanation that makes the problem go away.

I have felt this way from the get-go....
no innocent 15 yr old here.

She gets tired of playing Doctor at grandpa's house all day and kills him so she can home to her dolls ??
I don't think so

I know a few Dominican women/girls who had 2 children by 15 -- deliberately, with a husband.

In fact, I know one in Philadelphia who ahd one at 15 and got lucky 1 1/2 yrs later -- twins!!!
Her children gave a big 21st birthday party.

You can look her up
The FBI was looking for a while back.
Seems she disappeared with Ryan O'Neal for 10 days after a party in LA without telling her family.

It's in the Grace Kelly book

The 15 year old girls with older "maridos" are very common in the DR, especially in the campos. I know of too many of them. That crap is disgusting.

I am surprised how everyone is missing the main point here. Of course one never wants to see another human being loose their life, especially violently, but unfortunately if what is stated in this thread is true this is a blatant case of child abuse. Given that, I really can't have much sympathy for this fellow. If she was 18 and a day I would say no problem but 15 to 81 is atrocious. Moral of the story is don't screw kids, full stop.

If this 81 years old was screwing a 15 years old. He deserve to be death a long time ago. I would have hang him myself.
There should not be any tolerance for this monster.

Apples & Oranges.

This discussion is not about the monster, it's about the actions of the 15 year old and the failed Dominican education system. With a bit more formal education this child would have been able to make better use of the mountain of Viagra on the night table rather than resorting to a knife and this would be an entirely different discussion sin charges.

So sad, f#%$# the monster. you should know better, especially if you are coming from a non third world country. It is amazing, now you want to blame the girl and the Dominican education, but not the a$$% h#$% doing this crime. Uaooo,

to say that 15 yr old Dominicans (male or female) are precocious would be a gross understatement.

as are many things Dominican, life is different than Kansas City here in paradise.
