An interesting attempt here to defend beheading your wife on the grounds that she verbally abused and humiliated you.

People will try anything it seems.

“Obviously, this is the worst form of domestic violence possible,” Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III said Friday.

No shit sherlock (as they may or may not say over there)!
