Glad it’s not my dentist.

she accidentally shot herself...

I absolutely hate it every time that happens.

Don't you?

Isn’t that what happens to people who have evidence on the Clintons?

[Susquehanna Patriot]

Uh oh, the FIB got involved so the evidence must be real. Just ask Sean “Bombshell” Hannity.

[Scrambler Bob]

Was she wearing a black and white striped shirt?

seven life insurance policies against his wife

IIRC there are rules about insurance and over-insuring an individual. Each of the agents who wrote the policies should lose their licenses as well

Soooo many ways to kill your husband/wife in Africa. Lions,leopards and hyenas come to mind. And then you could encourage him/her to go pet that friendly,lovable hippo.

Or Forensic Files. One of the main motives for the murders featured on that show is life insurance money.

[gundog]

He’s probably less hated than the dentist that shot Cecil.

I don’t see how the charges can stick.

They don’t have her body, it was cremated in Africa. They probably don’t have the gun either.

Sure the insurance claims seem suspicious, but besides that, they have a claim from her friend - 3 years later.

Naw, they already had one with a dentist.

5 1/2 years for the FBI to get on the stick. They’ve been so busy going after President Trump and his supporters during that time, y’know.

A story to set your teeth on edge!

...so that Bianca could kill a leopard.

Why would anyone want to kill a leopard? They're not bothering you. Just leave them be.

He figured the Zambian police were chumps and easy marks.

I guess he figured right. It’s pretty hard to shoot yourself in the chest with a shotgun unless you’re somehow committing suicide by using the big toe on the trigger, which no one claimed in this case.

The Zambian police said “Yassah, Massa.”

And what’s up with shooting leopards with shotguns? What?

[DesertRhino]

No truly solid evidence of murder. The evidence seems to be her was having a long term affair, carried life insurance, and supposedly you can’t shoot yourself with a shotgun. I lost a friend that exact way, he was handling a shotgun in his safe. It snagged on something and hit him in the upper chest. I’ll never understand why it was loaded and chambered in his safe, but it happened. So they are very incorrect about it being impossible. I see evidence that he was a bad husband, or stuck in an unhappy marriage. But I would need something more than this to convict.

I know what you did last summer...

[DesertRhino]

Exactly. No one in their right mind would trust testimony of an FBI agent anymore.
