Kirsten Smith smoked a cigarette in her backyard Friday afternoon as her boyfriend bled out and his body grew cold inside the home they shared. That’s how a prosecutor described the scene when Brockton police officers arrived at the Maguire Road home, about 1:07 p.m. Now, the question both sides have to answer is – was it murder or self defense? Smith, 53, was arraigned Monday in Brockton District Court on a charge of murder, but her defense attorney claims she was strangled by the man prosecutors say is the victim. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
