A Texas woman has escaped being charged with negligent homicide after she killed her husband with a sherry enema. Tammy Jean Warner had been scheduled to go on trial over the death of Michael Warner, 58.
Tammy Jean and Michael WarnerBut Brazoria County District Attorney Jeri Yenne said the charges had been dismissed due to a lack of evidence.
She said the dead man had had a "severe alcohol issue" and it was not clear his wife had committed a crime.
"Let's say I have lung cancer and I continue to smoke. If you provide cigarettes to me, is that negligent homicide?" Ms Yenne asked.
"I really wrestled with the consent issue and negligence issue. I didn't think it rose to the level of negligent homicide."
Michael Warner, a machine shop operator, died at the couple's Lake Jackson home on May 21, 2004.
According to a post mortem report, Mr Warner had been given an enema containing enough sherry to produce a blood alcohol level six times the legal driving limit.
At the time his wife was indicted, Lake Jackson police detective Robert Turner said Michael Warner was a longtime alcoholic who sometimes used enemas to get drunk because a medical condition made it painful for him to drink.
Warner claimed her husband had been addicted to enemas since he was a child. She said he often used alcohol in that manner to get drunk.

Is it legitimate to expect a “reasonable person” to know that any ethanol (drinking alcohol) that’s placed..ahem,”up there”...can be absorbed into the bloodstream just as if it was swallowed?

He’s Warner the MachineShop man,
He liked to get drunk inthe can,
He took to much Sherry,
In a place that is scary,
Farewell the MachineShop man.

How do you get married to such an individual if you know about this addiction?
Maybe it was one of those shared activities during dating ? Everyone has to have something in common.
