What the article fails to mention is that this is the second accidental shooting of his wife with a crossbow within a year. She was previously wounded by a crossbow that also accidently discharged. This was just a clear cut case of murder, the weapon of choice is irrelevent. What kind of moron would leave a cocked and loaded crossbow laying around in a case, but to do it twice and both times have it strike his wife.

Agreed, these type of murders are all to common and difficult to prove but this cat was STUPID. He's been found guilty of murder in the first degree and will spend plenty of time in the pokey thinking about that $900,000 that he was trying to get his hands on. I think the only reason that he used a crossbow is simply because he had one. He'll have to answer for this again when he leaves here.

God Bless,

That's right here in my backyard. What a moron. The detectives handling the case came into the local bow shop and asked about xbows and got a quick cram course on them. They said the forensics people did everything possible including hit it with a hammer and it wouldn't misfire. I guess the large number of insurance policies he had on her didn't help either. I think they should fry him. Pretty cold dude to shoot your SO in the back. And you have to wonder what she was thinking to let him keep an xbow around after he already shot her once. No way I would let anyone like that get behind me.

Much like the guy who shot his wife for a bear...in her tree stand.
What's best, however, is how lawyers can lie while defending the guilty.
Ten insurance policies on the wife and the shooter had "no financial motive."
Gimmi a break, how stupid does he thing the jury is?!

That could make a difference in my perception of guilt or innocence.
