The victim was ex-military so odds are he was not. And I'm sure the widow would give anything not to have the reason to fly to New York and talk about the trigger-happy moron who shot her and her husband.
What “odds” are you talking about? Jimmy the Greek’s? I am well aware of the military service of the deceased. What does that have to do with him being or not being a bad boy or a hothead? Wouldn’t it be a wonderful world if all it took was service in the military to automatically cure everyone of their personal defects!
