"Family members and friends in Chicago; Atlanta, Georgia, and Tate's adopted home -- tiny Baker, Louisiana -- are reeling from the grisly details of Tate's slaying, and police say it was at the hands of her husband, Greg Harris. They had been married about 14½ months.
Harris, 37, is in custody, accused of stabbing Tate to death. He is charged with second-degree murder and the illegal use of a dangerous weapon.[...]Tate was representing a defendant in a high-profile murder trial when, police say, she became a homicide victim herself. Her body was found inside her law office on February 20. Tate was stabbed 38 times, according to a police warrant for Harris' arrest obtained by CNN.
While questioning Harris about Tate's death, police discovered an outstanding warrant for him in connection with a battery-domestic violence case. It stemmed from a December 22, 2007, incident at the couple's home.
Harris was accused of using "force and violence" against Tate, according to Baker City Court records. The court said Harris entered a not guilty plea on March 6, 2008, but did not appear for a May 8 pretrial conference. A warrant was issued for his arrest for contempt of court." Source: CNN
There are just so many open questions.
Why was she living with a man with a warrant for his arrest in conjunction with domestic violence against her?
Is it possible that her murder is connected to the high profile murder case she was working on?
Here's what our contributor, Kellea Tibbs, had to say about the story:"I am so disturbed by this. You work hard to reach your goals and dreams and then this. Wow! Prayers go out to her family and all women in situations that they feel like they can't get out of everywhere." Source: Ivywriter on Newsvine
