Transgender woman commits murder through exercise
”The man was exercised to death. I’m glad it’s over. The video is bone-chilling. The whole case is very sinister. My personal feeling is that what she did was more intentional than reckless. This is a case that could just slip through the cracks….I think he was victimized for years by her.”
Middlefield, OH Police Chief Joseph Stehlik referring to the confession of Christine Newton-John, 41, to the reckless homicide of her husband, James Mason, 73, by forcing him to swim in a pool until he had a heart attack. She reportedly pulled him by his arms and legs at times and allegedly prevented him from leaving the pool over 40 times. All of this is said to have been caught on a surveillance camera above the pool. Newton-John changed her name to match that of her favorite singer, and was legally married in Kentucky after gender reassignment surgery. (Plain Dealer)
