Prosecutors said Pitchford took his wife to the hospital for treatment, but stopped for beer along the way.

To add insult to injury, he most likely didn’t tip the bartender

He didn’t even ask her what she was drinking? That guy sounds downright rude.

He's charged with second-degree murder, domestic assault, and felon in possession of a firearm.

What we don't know: Authorities have not elaborated on the condition of the victim.

I’m confused…

Good one.

Poetic art from the raw material of tragedy.
True since the Iliad or earlier.

A headline I could never have imagined. Showing reality far surpasses our limited imaginations.

The only way it could be better is if it was in Florida.
