The Six Degrees of Seperation in Cheating Consequences

I got up this morning with the Queen of Hearts telling me to have a good day at work today. Though the rain made today a pretty big drag, just the sound of my girl voice made me feel whole. I could have written anything today from the Rush Limbuagh flinging with my sports to “The Snowe-ball Effect” dealing with Olympia Snowe going for the bipartisan of health care reform.

……….Well I am going all old info and new info.

One of my favorite artists is Millie Jackson. Not because of her seductiveness and sassiness that bring the freak out of any man, young or old, but how her lyrics are as true until the end of time. One of her songs was call “Cheatin’ Is.” You got to hear the lyrics just to feel the reason I wrote this piece. The second verse of this song sums up the moral of these two stories that are tied in my home state.

Cheatin' is the part of loving that starts

when true love isn't what lovers are looking for

A stranger here, a stranger there

Then you turn around and swear that you'll never go back for more

And lying at night, when you're holding him tight,

is something that a cheater's heart just has to learn

Cheatin' is a thing that's guaranteed

to bring two unhappy people to the point of no return

Now since you have read that I am going to take you in time of two popular old stories that have some ties toward each other in some fashion that the six degree of separation of a town called Vicksburg, Mississippi.

In one part of town is Mechelle, a nurse who is married to a known football player, finding out on July 4^th that the infidelity of her husband just caught up to him by the lover killing him and herself . The husband thought that he can get away with anything since he was a MVP and his life was still running after football. The lover wanted to be with him forever. Much to it, he may have said no, or other things may have happen (you don’t want to know) which cause the lover to pull the trigger on him and herself.

In the other part of town is Avis, a child daycare teacher who was getting ready to be married to a middle-school teacher. The fiancé is a smooth-talking gentleman who likes to play the field even though he is not a free agent. He gets involved with a middle-school teacher who is also a cheerleader coach. The tables got turned when this love triangle turn ugly when Avis was shot four times and stabbed while pregnant, killing both her and the baby. The lover of the finance weeks later was first charged with accessory to the murder until they found a clean empty gun that could hold the same bullets that what use to kill Avis. She was then charged with double murder (the reason is that under state law, if you kill a pregnant woman, you are charged with the murder of the pregnant mother and her unborn child). Two years past and the trial came. Yesterday, the verdict was that the fiancé’s lover was found guilty of double murder and will be looking at either life or the death penalty, and the fiancé is married to another woman in another state, and free.

The moral of the story is that cheating can lead into some serious worst case scenarios. It just so happened differently to two women who literally live almost 10 min away from each other. This is a sad story to make me really know that My Queen of Hearts is the only Queen of Hearts for me.

I would tell you the stories in full but I rather just post the links to both stories of Avis and Mechelle.
