I would say yes. He was the direct cause of her death.

It is her fault for aggravating him to the point of him pulling a knife.

If insurance money became involved, the company would certainly gain from a guilty verdict.

If men killed their wives every time they annoyed them there wouldn’t be any wives left. C’mon, let’s have it right, he sounds a right wanker, attack her with a knife? Isn’t that attempted murder in the first place? I’ve wanted to attack Pete with a knife a hundred times but you just don’t do things like that.

Back to that less famous Thomas…… Cochrane. D’you know, in typical fashion he actually escaped from prison but instead of running off to hide or seek redress he went to Parliament and demanded his seat back. He was arrested and throw back in his cell. When he finally got out he was approached by representatives of Chile to take over their navy in their fight for independence from Spain. The rebels were doing very well on land but Spanish rule of the seas made full independence almost impossible. Cochrane accepted the post and sailed for Chile He was introduced to his command which was 1 tiny Sloop, three small Brigs and three frigates, including the 50 gun Bernardo O Higgins, which he took as his flagship. After sorting out his crews he set sail for the Spanish garrison town of Callao, only to find after setting sail that his 5 year old son had stowed aboard. The attack had a certain amount of farce about it because of fog and when his two leading ships approached the fortress of Callao their guns opened up, making his fellow ship turn and do a runner, whilst his son ran on board to see the excitement a sailor went to grab him only to have his head whipped off by a canon ball right next to him, so Cochrane was forced to beat a retreat.

If he wore pants that fit him and less thong underwear, we wouldn't be able to call him Plumbers crack anymore. Never take a knife to a gun fight Arthur.
