What is chilling to me is the way I read the story and her talking about a "final fling with the children". After which she was going to turn herself in. I'm thinking had she not been apprehended in another 24 hours her kids very well could have been victims as well.

But as far as a case goes I think it may very well be more complicated than woman kills husband in cold blood. I'm not sure any of us have anyway of knowing whether or not she was abused. There was evidence for both sides on that. Her demeanor changed throughout the marriage. Was it a case of abuse of some other mental problem? Is it just something people perceive as a person ages, has kids and becomes more responsible?

To be honest, if she didn't want to participate in oral and anal sex because she didn't feel it was natural and she was forced into it by her husband, if he did actually threaten to kill her, if he did physically abuse her...I would have a hard time finding sympathy for the victim.
