How many life lessons can you learn from this story, kiddies?

From KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh comes the story of a man and his child bride.

Man to Stand Trial for Shooting Wife in Spat Over Dishes

A Greene County man will stand trial on homicide and other charges because state police say he shot his 17-year-old wife when she refused to do the dishes.

Hmmm. 27 - 17 =...Uh-oh.

At a preliminary hearing yesterday, police say James Petrie, 27, told them he was watching "Doctor Phil" on TV when his wife came downstairs and also started watching the show on July seventh.

Ah, Dr. Spill. That explains a lot.

When Petrie asked his wife, Jessica, why there were still dirty dishes in the sink, he said she would "get to them."

That's when Petrie took a .22-caliber gun and shot his wife in the head.

Police say Petrie at one point told them he thought the gun wasn't loaded, but later acknowledged that he hadn't checked the gun before pulling the trigger.

A great defense. You should have been a lawyer, Jimbo.

Jessica Petrie died about ten hours later at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown, West Virginia.

May God have mercy on her soul.

And his.
