Would male killer get this sympathy?

SIXTY- three- yearold Sally Challen, sentenced to 22 years for bludgeoning her husband to death with a hammer as he ate his breakfast at the kitchen table, has won the right to appeal — and her son says he’s ‘overjoyed’.

David Challen says his father Richard ‘fat shamed’ his mother, had affairs, alienated friends and threw a dinner she had cooked into the bin, complete with crockery.

The husband sounds absolutely horrid.

But still, I somehow can’t imagine that a man who had killed his wife like that with a hammer would be shown the same compassion.
