She Became an Internet Heartthrob After Stabbing Her Lover
Sometimes beautiful people can get away with anything, even murder.
Justice is supposed to be blind. Class, race, attractiveness, wealth, or status are things that are not meant to be considered in the eyes of the law. But we all know the truth. It’s easy to see that privilege, celebrity status, and having the right friends can get you out of trouble.
A study from Cornell University found, “that unattractive defendants tend to get hit with longer, harsher sentences — on average 22 months longer in prison.”
This case is about a woman who is young, beautiful, and privileged. Despite taking a knife and stabbing her boyfriend as he slept, her supporters insisted she did not deserve to be punished.
A picture of her as her boyfriend lay there in a pool of blood, shows her sitting next to him smoking a cigarette and chatting on her phone covered in blood. Rather than being hated, she became a celebrated icon with both men and women who fell in love with her and even raised money to keep her out of jail.
Why did she stab her boyfriend? What happened to him? Where are they now? This is the story about Yuka Takaoka, the girl who is known to be too beautiful to be a killer.
