Alleged killer Corey Burke was supported by her wife during her first court appearance for the murder of her ailing father on Election Night.
Her wife, prominent trans writer Samantha Leigh Allen, attended the hearing and was pictured laughing with friends.
Allen tried to hide her face with a notebook during the court proceedings.
The couple did not seem to acknowledge each other, as the court was divided by glass, with the public gallery listening via speakers.
Burke, an employee at Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin space company, was arrested for murder on Election Night after her neighbor called police and reported she had been smashing all of the windows of the home she shared with her father.
A blood-soaked Burke came outside with her hands raised and a frantic demeanor, per charging documents
She reportedly told detectives that 'she knew that she could not convince her father to keep the lights off'
She then tripped her father and strangled him before attacking him with the ice axe.
Burke then bit him and hit him several times in the head and side with the blunt and sharp ends of the ice axe
Burke claimed she knew the killing 'needed to happen today,' according to a police report.
She allegedly told police she had to bite her father while choking him because 'he was too strong.' Burke added that she felt better once her father 'went limp.'
Burke also told police that as her father labored to breathe after the attack, 'the defendant sat next to him until he stopped breathing.
The day after the murder she reportedly whispered to one police officer, 'I killed him.'
Burke added that she had a strained relationship with her father and said she had been 'overwhelmed' on election day

I don’t know what a “power lesbian” is supposed to be but I see the phrase in every article in related to this ghastly murder.

I found this really confusing definition. Apparently it has something to do with Trump.
“There is no one notarized definition of a power lesbian, but popular interpretations of power lesbians and their corollary, lesbian power couples, seem to conjure up some combination of these qualities: conventional power in the form of money or fame; ever-present poise and control; excellence in a specific industry; a cutthroat, no-nonsense, demanding attitude; and a circle of equally powerful, well-connected friends or lovers. Power lesbians can be either slutty or not—I’ve always imagined the archetypal power lesbian as a hypersexual supertop. (In an episode on Season 2 of Sex and the City, the queen bee of Manhattan’s power lesbian clique excommunicates the very-straight Charlotte from their friend group because she doesn’t actually “eat pussy.”) Narrative representations of power lesbians often portray them as brusque and career-centered, not flirtatious in the traditionally feminine sense—and then there’s the galling, sexist myth of lesbian bed death to contend with. Lawrence wants to sexify this indeterminate class of women like a Halloween costume: slutty ladybug, slutty Donald Trump, slutty power lesbian”
