That beats all the cases I've ever worked on. Did defense try the strategy of saying Sean Hannity incited her to do it? That would probably win over the hearts of the jury--at least bring her down to 2nd degree.

I recently worked on a case where the husband and wife got into an argument over what tv show to watch and she stabbed him repeatedly with a steak knife. (he's not dead) TV rage is the new road rage.

At first glance I thought that this post, based on the title, was going to be the strange yet joyful news that Colin Quinn had finally been put out of his misery. The graphic was misleading.

I remember Remote Control! I also remember the sadistic babysitter who let me watch it and then told me that, yes indeed, the contestants were actually killed and replaced with neat-looking skeletons. Thanks for the nightmares you fucking bitch.

Or why society doesn't need misleading headlines. I thought he murdered him by remote control, like on an awesome mystery show. "I couldn't have murdered him, detective... I was watching TV with witnesses in the other room."

Of course you'd say that, you Nazi. Guns don't kill people, remote controls do!

This is a prime example of why society doesn't need pistols.
