She warned her husband that she will kill him if he kept on hitting her...
She claimed that she was a victim of his physical abuse for last thirty years...
They were married in 1960...Divorced in 2012...But, then they decided to get married again...
A 78 year old guy hitting his 79 year old wife?
The husband is 78 years old and he still physically abuses his wife? Shouldn't he know better than behave like that?
A sad story...Why didn't she divorce him again? Why put put up with abuse?
Actually the husband was 78 years old and his wife said he was abusing her. Unless there is a paper trail of police calls and arrests to back up her story she'll be charged with murder and they will take her story with a big bag of salt.
Fixed it for ya...
Till death do us part.
HAHA! I’d only tell this story to Freepers, but it is true. I divorced and remarried my hubby too. And I will NOT let him buy a gun because I always tell him: I’ll shoot you with it.
During these times of recent unrest we’ve discussed this issue. He proposed getting a shotgun. He said: you’ll never get me with the shotgun, not if we keep it locked up, unloaded, and the ammo in a separated locker. I’ll be able to stop you before you get all that together to shoot me.
We feel like we do need a weapon of self-defense in the house because communists.
But, then, he really aggravated me the the other day and I said: shotgun’s out!
In case anyone was wondering, the article does not give any reason for the very high bail assignment.
Like The Burning Bed.
Wonder if either has/had dementia...
It’s ridiculous that they gave her $5 MILLION dollars bond when other thugs are given an appearance ticket and released back on the street the same day.

I will tell you why a woman might, could and probably should kill an abusing old,old husband after years of abuse...it is because no one willingly takes her side...you have no idea how many husbands think their wives deserve everything they “get”. That is the basis and, then, as she ages, she becomes much more frail than he and he keeps it up and she has no one to go to...so she “takes it”. Until one day she kills him recognizing full well she will go to jail and herself be executed. And, guess what, her thought is, very often, “Thank god. This will all be over then.”
Men are much more able to get support as Elders than women...and I think that just goes back to what our society thinks of Elders and especially women.
Interestingly this type of murder is never discussed and never is abuse an “issue”.
