Sometimes a perfect life is only a facade and justice only an illusion.James and Julie Ramage were the classic middle-class couple: children at private schools, he a company director and she a financial controller for a fashion house. From the outside they had the perfect life and the perfect marriage.And then one day, he killed her.There had been another side. There had been arguments; there had been affairs on both sides; he was obsessive in his control - and often violent towards Julie. He confessed to the killing - but declared he had been provoked. He said she had taunted him with claims that he was lousy in bed. The court didn't agree with the age-old saying that words can never hurt you... the defence of provocation was successful.
