How long had be been taking it LOL? If they married when she was 25 or so that would have been 55 years at least. Man ought to get some credit for the length of time served....

I agree with Sam Kinison’s philosophy. I would never condone any sort of violence against women. However, I definitely understand what turns Mr. Hand into Mr. Fist.

I mean it sounds like Self defense

I stand with James

How many people keep that sharp a knife in the console of their car? Was its sharpness proof of premeditation?
Its sharpness is also proof that he's mentally together, or he could have hurt himself getting the blade sharp enough to do the deed.

If he waited until 93 he must have refereed sports throughout his life.

The Agony of Aging….On the morning that Daylight Savings Time ended I stopped in to visit my aging friend. He was busy covering his penis with black shoe polish. I said to him, "You better get your hearing checked - You're supposed to turn your clock back".

Well if we just murder them because we can’t take any more of their crazy shite, they would be dead. That’s why God made fishing, hunting, and alcohol

He used to love her, but he had to kill her.

She bitched so much, it drove him nuts

He had to put her 6 feet under

Now he's happier this way.

So, they are gonna put all the time and money into convicting him even though it’s easy and then what, he goes to jail for a year maybe 2?


Feels like most folks in their 90s are already under house arrest due to health/mobility anyways
