California fire-Captain Rebecca Becky Marodi was found murdered in her home just a few days ago on February 17th and people are immediately accusing her wife, Yolanda Marodi of doing it!
It was just a few weeks ago that homophobes were attacking lesbian fire fighters, saying they’re D.E.I Highers, sending them all sorts of threats and now one of them is dead, and no one wants to point out how suspicious that is! But its so easy for everyone to assume the wife did it for 2 reasons.
The first being that she pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter for the death of her former husband all the way back in 2000. That was over 25 years ago and she spent over a decade in prison. The people accusing Yolanda of killing her wife just because she murdered her former husband don’t know what Voluntary manslaughter means. Voluntary manslaughter is when someone kills another person in the heat of passion.
Meaning she was being provoked to fear, terror, or desperation! She probably killed him because he was abusing her. According to The Michigan Women's Justice and Clemency Project, as many as 90% of the women in prison today for killing men had been battered by those men. Just because she’s a suspect doesn’t automatically make her guilty! Suspect and Guilty are not synonymous. They are not the same thing. So anyone saying Yolanda is the one who did it should be reported for false information cause she hasn’t been named guilty.
So News reporters naming this case a “potential domestic violence incident” and accusing Yolanda as the first and only suspect before even carrying out a proper investigation and not even be able to provide a motive for why she would do something like that just because she’s killed before is not only evil, disgusting and just plain lazy, its also lesbophobic.
Why I say it’s lesbophobic is because of the second reason I mentioned. A statistic on domestic violence was misinterpreted and is constantly used to demonize lesbian relationships. Now homophobes use that misinterpreted statistic to lie that lesbian couples have the highest rates of domestic violence when in reality, that could not be further from the truth. I’ve already made a video about this in more detail and it would be great if you would watch it.
Lesbians don’t have high DV rates and its messed up that people are using that line to further vilify Yolanda. And assuming Yolanda actually did flee and wasn’t kidnapped by the person who did murder Captain Rebecca, this would explain why. Because she probably knew people would instantly pin it on her! This woman just lost her wife in a terrible way and is probably devastated and instead of receiving sympathy, she’s getting accused of her murder
They said they haven’t named a suspect yet they’re saying its domestic violence. That’s indirectly naming a suspect. The point of this video isn’t to prove that she’s innocent (even though she most likely is), its to point out how the debunked myth that lesbian couples are often violent towards each other is being used to pin this on Rebecca (Becky) Marodi’s wife Yolanda Marodi.
