Surely, a man who had raped and killed a woman can't very well just say "let me guess. You've never made a mistake in your life," as a rhetorical defense? This is an exaggeration, of course, but it's often a good way to make a strong point.

She accidentally slept with someone else? Twice? No, she didn't. She did a deliberate and malicious act against her fiance because... Well, I could let my imagination go wild but the truth is I just don't know. Does it matter? I don't think so....
The original poster said that 'once a cheat, always a cheat' (paraphrased). That's just nonesense, as I said. You cannot say that it "WILL happen again" (and I'm quoting the post here).

You believe a single act makes you out to be a serial offender (of whatever offence or act you carried out)?

What's the point in using a rape as an example? That's beyond contempt.
