re: Covington doctor shot and killed by wife

She has not been booked...self defense? ?

It's still being investigated. The investigators will need to see what happened, develop PC, then see what charges they will charge (if there is any PC or charges at all).

Arresting her now and charging her with something that you can't win in court is useless. She called the cops herself and isn't going anywhere. My guess is if charges are filed, they feel quite strongly that she did it, and can prove it.

Sad on a personal level too; I really liked Dr. Breen. He was my wife's OB and without going into too much detail she had to see quite a few physicians over the years and he really cared for his patients. His approach was old school in how he treated people and approached medicine.

Beyond that, on a personal level I don't know much. But as a physician, he was one of the good ones and I know for a fact that my wife considered him a friend and is taking this with a heavy heart. I think there are alot of people right now who are very fearful that he is going to be drug through the mud and painted to be a different man than how he treated so many of his patients through the years.
