beget preconcieved judgement. let's wait until the investigation is over. I've not said that she did or didn't do it. I was illustrating what "Common Knowledge" and "Preconceived Notions" can and often are wrong.
Most serial killers are white males. But if you go into a serial killer investigation already thinking it's a white male you could miss the truth, Atlanta in the 80s anyone?
So to say that most women don't shoot themselves or that most women don't do this or that ignores the possibility that one might just do that. And justice is not served by going into an investigation thinking just that.
