Story here. Excerpt:

'As Vickie L. Kubin left a Washington County magistrate's office in chains Thursday before her expected release later in the day, her husband, Mark, said, "See you in a bit."

It was a calm contrast to June 3, the last time they were together.

At that time, they were involved in an argument at their home at 105 Fox Stop Road in Fallowfield Township, and Vickie Kubin 35, shot her husband in the side of the head, according to an affidavit of probable cause.

Minutes before she was to face a preliminary hearing before Magisterial District Judge Larry Hopkins in Charleroi yesterday, attorneys for both sides reached a tentative agreement that likely will involve 12 to 23 months of probation, but no prison time. The agreement requires Common Pleas Court approval.

Charges of criminal attempt to commit homicide and aggravated assault filed last week were dropped. Kubin waived her right to a preliminary hearing on charges of recklessly endangering another person and simple assault.'

As Vickie Kubin was photographed by the media while she was escorted out of Hopkins' office, she said, "Get out of my face!"

Says it all doesn't it.

I predict he will be dead within a month and the justice system will all be saying so what happened. One wonders if the husband shot the wife whether he would get the same consideration. That is rhetorical by the way.

If he's shot again, he has no one to blame but himself.
