[QUOTE="Top Jimmy, post: 229664, member: 255"] I was just thinking of Rebecca's leaving Digger after he killed Hutch McKinney. She kept trying to justify leaving her kids by saying Digger wouldn't have agreed to a divorce and would have tried to drag her back into that "awful life." Well, since he murdered your lover in front of you, Rebecca, why not call the police and tell him what he did or make an anonymous call implicating Digger and revealing the location of the corpse? Problem solved. I don't know if you would call it self-defense or justifiable homicide or some degree of manslaughter, but Digger probably would have served some jail time if charged and convicted in the shooting, especially since he hid the crime by burying the body. I don't remember if it was Jock's gun or whose gun it was, but I seem to remember from the flashback of the shooting that Hutch pulled a gun on Digger, and then Rebecca knocked it out of his hands. Digger then grabbed it off the floor and immediately shot him. Maybe Rebecca was afraid of a scandal or that a jury in that era wouldn't convict Digger, especially with her cheating, getting pregnant by another man and her planning to run off with Hutch. Drunken Digger wasn't exactly a reliable witness though, so Rebecca could have lied and made up a story that Digger shot him in cold blood and that he was a paranoid drunk, always falsely accusing her of having affairs. It's funny that JR always made fun of Digger even after he died saying that he was a drunk, but no one ever mentioned that he killed a man and buried his body on Southfork. [/QUOTE]
