Main Body
The history of this case shows a long period of domestic instability that began around 2017. Although the victim used security cameras and had several legal protection orders in place, the defendant continued to commit crimes. For example, he was involved in an assault in 2018 and a more serious attack in 2022 that caused the victim a broken face and a dislocated shoulder. Consequently, he was banned from contacting her for five years, yet he was imprisoned several times between 2024 and 2025 for breaking these legal orders.
本案的歷史顯示，從 2017 年左右開始便有長期的家庭不穩定狀況。儘管被害人使用了監視攝影機並擁有多項法律保護令，被告仍持續犯罪。例如，他在 2018 年涉及一起襲擊案，並在 2022 年發起一次更嚴重的攻擊，導致被害人面部骨折及肩膀脫臼。因此，他被禁止在五年內與其接觸，但他在 2024 年至 2025 年間因違反這些法律命令而多次入獄。
On March 27, 2025, the defendant waited near the victim's home after she had taken their children to school. When she returned, he entered the house without permission. Video and audio evidence showed a loud argument about money and the defendant's anger toward the legal system. After the victim failed to reach emergency services, the defendant chased her into the backyard. A medical examination later confirmed that she died from eight stab wounds that cut a major artery and vein.
2025 年 3 月 27 日，在被害人將孩子送至學校後，被告在被害人住處附近等候。當被害人返回時，他擅自進入屋內。影像與音訊證據顯示，雙方就金錢問題發生激烈爭吵，且被告對法律體系感到憤怒。在被害人未能聯繫上緊急救援服務後，被告將其追至後院。隨後的醫療檢查確認，被害人因八處刺傷切斷主要動脈與靜脈而死亡。
During the sentencing, the court noted that the defendant had no mental health issues or addictions that could explain his behavior. Justice Amanda Fox emphasized that this murder was an act of male violence against a woman who wanted to be independent. Furthermore, the judge noted that the defendant tried to blame the victim and the legal system for the crime. The victim's children have since moved to the Philippines.
在量刑過程中，法院指出被告沒有任何能解釋其行為的精神健康問題或成癮問題。法官 Amanda Fox 強調，這次謀殺是男性對一名追求獨立的女性所實施的暴力行為。此外，法官指出被告企圖將犯罪責任歸咎於被害人與法律體系。被害人的孩子隨後已移居菲律賓。
Conclusion
Jessie James Tumaliuan must serve at least 20 years before he can apply for parole, and he will be deported to the Philippines after his release.
Jessie James Tumaliuan 必須服刑至少 20 年後才能申請假釋，且在獲釋後將被驅逐回菲律賓。

🛠️ The B2 Tool Kit
1. Contrast (The 'Switch') Instead of just using 'but', the text uses Although and Yet.
- "Although the victim used security cameras... the defendant continued to commit crimes."
- "...banned from contacting her... yet he was imprisoned several times."
- B2 Tip: Put Although at the start of a sentence to show a complex relationship between two facts.
2. Result (The 'Arrow') Instead of 'so', the text uses Consequently.
- "...a more serious attack in 2022... Consequently, he was banned from contacting her."
- B2 Tip: Use Consequently at the start of a sentence followed by a comma to sound more academic and precise.
3. Addition (The 'Plus') Instead of 'and' or 'also', the text uses Furthermore.
- "...an act of male violence... Furthermore, the judge noted that the defendant tried to blame the victim."
- B2 Tip: Use Furthermore when you are adding a second, stronger point to an argument.
