CHICORA, Pa. (AP) -- Police say a Pennsylvania man told them he fatally shot his wife after first trying to kill himself and then hearing her taunting him and encouraging him to shoot himself. Thirty-year-old Joshua Crawford was jailed Monday in Butler County on charges of criminal homicide and aggravated assault. Police say Crawford and 30-year-old Sarah Crawford were arguing at their Donegal Township home Sunday night when he decided to take his own life.

There’s a country song here just aching to get out.

What happens when you play a country song backwards?

This is a tough one. I’m not sure what the ruling should be here.

Perhaps he is lying, and didn't try to commit suicide and wanted to murder her. Who knows? I reckon that is why we have investigations and trials.

Possibly.

It is just a probable that it only involves a guy who is one of the ninety-four million who can’t get a job in the Obama economy and a woman who likes to spend money.

The classic “I’m gonna miss her” doesn’t apply in this case.
