You can't write headlines much weirder than that, but it is not in dispute that Keith Wiens, a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, shot and killed his common-law wife after she demanded that he pay up—in foreplay, evidently—for losing to her in a Wii game.
Wiens told a jury in British Columbia that he acted in self defense on that night in August 2011, and that his wife, Lynn Kalmring, attacked him with a knife. The two had had a rapidly escalating argument since getting drunk and playing Wii and making wagers "of a sexual nature," on the games.
When Wiens went upstairs to go to bed after playing the console, he found sex toys on his pillow. He brushed them aside, saying he needed to rest up for a round of golf the next day. "He said Kalmring became upset when she saw that he was not in the mood to settle the bet," reports the Penticton Western News.
Kalmring then broke out that no-win accusation: "You're not attracted to me, are you," and though Wiens said he assured her he was, he was just tired, the argument dissolved into an expletive-filled tirade. He said his wife left the bedroom, returned with a knife and rushed him; Wiens had already armed himself with a pistol he kept in his bedside table, saying he feared for his life. He shot her once in the head.
A forensic pathologist earlier testified that he believed a knife police found in Kalmring's hand had been placed there after her death, reasoning she would have dropped it when she was shot.

If a man pestered his live-in girlfriend for sex and pulled a knife on her even if she said NO after initially leading him on, the response would be ruled a clear case of self-defense against a sexually abusive partner.
She put gadgets all over his sleeping area. She wasn't looking for old fashioned loving.
As much as I hate to pass up a straight line like that, the coroner said that the knife was planted on her after she died.
I guess he knew he would ever make a woman moan that she had died and gone to Heaven, so he opted for the next best bet...
Apologies to anyone who is offended - I think I offended myself, but it's one of my flaws...
Easy: "Obama Reelected!"
I don’t see the problem - she wanted him to bang her.
Funny,...That's what he said after the wager, that led to her becoming very upset and searching for a knife....
Speaking of tragedy...
In for the save! Thanks for having my back... ;-)
That is the question and yes; it would make a difference.

Or snow days. Trust me on that one.
If you want to save serious bucks, the next time there’s a “snow day” at the NSA (I’m sure this works equally well for ANY gov’t agency) and only essential personnel are required to report for work, get rid of everybody that doesn’t show up that day.
If you’re not essential, why are we paying you a salary?

That's always been my question about gummint work. "Work"?
Looks like Dudley Do Right didn’t.
