I can not imagine what it would be like to realise that the man you love is a monster, a evil deviant capable of the most heinous of crimes. My guess would be that at first hint of guilt, you would want to vindicate your mate, to stand beside them and prove not just their innocence, but that you could not have been unknowingly married to a gruesome pervert.

And then comes the moment of truth, where denial is no longer possible, and the only thing that sits between you and the realisation that your partner is the scary monster people turn from in disgust- is your ability to accept the truth.

Tabitha Stockelman experienced just that sort of torturous revelation when the husband she has stood by and supported, whom she believed to be innocent of the charges against him, stood in court and plead guilty to molesting and murdering 10-year-old Katie Collman.

"It's completely unbelievable," she said last year. "There's no way. I believe my husband is innocent. I'm standing behind him 100 percent."

But Friday, after Stockelman admitted his guilt to avoid the death penalty, she offered a different take, WLKY NewsChannel 32's Andy Alcock reported.

"I think they should bring back the firing squad, but that's just my opinion," she said Friday. "Maybe stoning ... that sounds good."


My heart goes out to her, having to live with the terrible reality that her husband could commit such a heinous crime, and I applaud her for being able to do the right thing once the evidence clearly pointed to his guilt.

If only we had more women willing to see the truth for what it is when it is presented to them.

Wow, amazing woman. I think as hard as it must be for her, she is an example of moral fortitude that our country needs more of. We should remember her in our prayers, and also him. May God have mercy on him.

Ladies,
Tabitha Stockelman is not a woman to be pitied nor exonerated. She stopped standing behind her husband when she realized that in order to do so, she would have to actually find and hold a job. Instead, she found a new boyfriend shortly after his arrest.
Here's more from Channel 32 WLKY:

http://www.wlky.com/katlyncollman/8776020/detail.html

Stockelman's arrest and guilty plea meant a shake-up for his own child, 6-year-old son Shane, Alcock reported.

Last month, in an exclusive interview with WLKY, the killer's wife, Tabitha Stockelman, said she had to give up the couple's son because she couldn't take care of him. And she said her son is living with Anthony's brother, Troy, and sister-in-law, Kelly.

"Just out of the blue one day, she called us at our house, she was in Phoenix, Ariz., and asked us if we could come and get him," Troy Stockelman said.

Troy Stockelman said Tabitha not only gave up custody of her son in October, but added that she's been an absentee mother since, Alcock reported. He also said the last time Tabitha Stockelman saw her son was more than a month ago, and she's only seen him five times since October, Alcock reported.

"Since I've known her, she's not been a good mother," Troy Stockelman said.

Added Mary Stockelman: "I had a dying husband, and every weekend she would call and ask, 'Can you take the baby? He's wearing me out.' And I kept the kids."

After this report aired on the news, Tabitha called her Mother-in-law to threaten her.
Tabitha Stockelman is just enjoying her day in the limelight.

Hello, i am Tabithas mom, and i can say without a doubt, that she was a good and faithful wife and mother. When she supposedly was asking her motherinlaw to care for their child, she was actually helping to make the last days of her father-in-laws life bearable, as he was dying of cancer. He had two other sons, one of which now has my grandson, who did NOTHING. Its so wrong that the mother of the killer still gets to spend holidays with her grandson and i havent seen him in over a year.
As far as a relationship, she has been unable to keep a boyfriend or job since this happened, and can get no counseling because of the money it costs. I have watched her life fall apart, and we all still suffer the heartache and numbness that every killers family has to go thru. The only thing my daughter did wrong, was to stay married to him after his abuse and life threatening behavior towards her. Anyone who believes any different is obviously mentally disturbed

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

$167.90

He received $167.90 to serve on the jury. It couldn't have been an easy case to listen to. Hearing of how a 13 year old was raped by a 38 year old man who had befriended the family, it'd be enough to make most people turn in repulsion. But the juror did what he was suppose to, and long with the 11 other people who sat by his side- he found the defendant guilty. Believing that the child, who had come from a broken home- a mother battling drugs and a father who wasn't there- deserved justice, the 12 people performed their moral, ethical and judicial duty and sentenced Gregory Bryant to 30 years in prison. One would think that Bruse Funkhouser had earned that $167.90. Perhaps it would cover a small portion of the income that he lost while serving his duty to the courts. Perhaps it would just give him a little extra change in his pocket. So, you might wonder what would cause Funkhouser to return the check to the court house... Members of a Pawnee County jury are upset a judge g...
