(Newser) – Ryan Jenkins, the reality TV contestant suspected in the murder of model Jasmine Fiore, left a suicide note titled “Will and Testament” on his computer before hanging himself in a Canadian hotel room. Though the letter talks in detail about Fiore and blames her for his situation, Jenkins never mentions her death. “The lack of acknowledging that he'd just lost his wife speaks volumes,” a police sergeant tells People.

The sergeant adds, “About half of the letter described how much he loved her, and in the same breath, he would talk about how frustrated she made him. It was clearly defined that Mr. Jenkins was jealous of multiple side relationships that she had."

Violence during rimes of passion happen at the spur of the moment. If I am not mistaken, he cut off her hands and pullled her teeth out. I might be wrong on all that but I seem to reall that was a part that really made him out to be a horrible man. Can anyone confirm or correct me if I am mistaken? So no, in closing I do not accept crime of passion. It was jealous rage and nothing more...just my POV.

So was it then a crime of passion and don't woman who kill their husbands get a free get out of jail card for Crimes of Passions? A woman shot her husband in the back last year killed him and is out of jail right now. He should have hired a good lawyer and fight for his freedom on a crime of passion defense instead of offing himself.
