Husband Gets Life Without Parole For Raping His Wife


Among the witnesses taking the stand were a former girlfriend and also a common law wife each testifying to past abuse by William Affront.

A jury of 6 men and 6 women heard unthinkable acts of rape and abuse involving a lit cigarette, a broom, and a knife. But it was the case of Plafond's wife that put the trial in motion.

--------------------

From Laffoon's own testimony at his preliminary hearing saying no he never touched her, to the collecton of physical evidence and photographs of abuse, jurors convicted laffoon and sentenced him to life without parole for raping his wife. Lead prosector, Michon Hughes knew the case would be tough to win, but justice prevailed.

"I think its very appropriate to give credit to the people of Oklahoma at this time for recognizing that yes it is a crime and women are no longer considered property of their husbands in this state," says Hughes.

We've had a handful of very misogynistic posts in the past several weeks. 'Glad to see I was wrong to be concerned.

4. Super confused...William Affront, Lafoon, and Plafond? Who is the guy?

? Read the article twice, still confused. Maybe I'll go back and read again more carefully.

Good one of them is going down for this. He sounds like a reptile. Wishing healing to his wife.

5. Several "typos"(?) in first article. Reload article page to get the

corrected info.

16. doesn't "correct" for me with reloading

Reloaded several times and it still reads the same using three different names attributed to the defendant. And still nowhere in the article is Laffoon's full name given. This is the worst written article I've ever read. No "typos" here - it's just REALLY bad journalism.

20. I had trouble understanding the article also. couldn't find another version of the story

Am I the only one baffled by that? There was abuse by someone named William Affront, but it was the case of Plafond's wife that got the conviction of Laffoon?

If Laffoon was convicted, who were the other people? :wtf: Was it Laffoon Plafond? Still don't get the William Affront, if the other two names are the same person.

Curious. Hope it was a clean link, but I will scan for e*cooties. Hope they are hiring a copy editor.

8. May he have bread and water....

and just because I'm nice, he can have Vitamin C to avoid scurvy.....too bad we don't run prisons like the French.

Once you've been in one of those, you don't go back.

[JoeyT]

14. But no vitamin D.

We can call it the "Rickets for Rape" initiative. Sorry, I had to say it.

Life in prison sounds just about right for him.
