Story here. Excerpt:

'BENTONVILLE, Ark. — A 75-year-old woman told police she was "at her wits' end" when she shot her husband to death as he was sleeping.

Myrtle Marie Walter was being held Monday without bond in the Benton County jail on a capital murder charge in the slaying of Paul Walter, 74, at their home in Rogers.

She told police she and her husband had been drinking Friday night and she had four or five beers. She said her husband wanted to have sex but she did not want to, and she could no longer tolerate the mental abuse, according to court records.

She retrieved a loaded gun, returned to the bedroom and shot her husband once, then fired two more times when she saw him move, court documents say. Rogers police arrested her Saturday and recovered a .357-caliber revolver that was on the bed.'

she probably figured that they let the last one go,
that murdered a husband while he slept. we all know any excuse
will work in today's man-hating/woman-victim atmosphere.

heck, let's see if we can't round her up some children and
give her custody.

no punishment = no crime
and continued pursuit of feminist happiness.

anybody want to bet how this one comes out?
i'll bet on the woman, any woman.

shotgun last time, 357 here.
guess poison isn't working anymore, what w/ the
new CSI techniques.

sleep lightly boys. she has the full force of the
legal system on her side, no matter what she does.
