> [@Acsenray](#): > > Actually I suspect the whole story might be a sham. Apparently the crown has pointed out that she would have dropped the knife when she was shot in the head so it’s mighty suspicious that she was still holding it when she was found. Yet there is such a phenomenon as cadaveric spasm . Sorry I can’t link, but you’ll get it in wikipedia . ---
