BadaBing Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Man says live wire in bath was to save marriage Thursday, October 28, 2004 Posted: 7:53 AM EDT (1153 GMT) LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (AP) -- A man who said he threw a live electrical wire into his wife's bath hoping a near-death experience would save their marriage was convicted of attempted first-degree intentional homicide Wednesday. William Dahlby said in court he was only trying to scare his wife the evening of May 9. He told jurors the wire was hooked to a "ground fault interrupter" designed to cut the electricity when the cord encountered water. His wife was not hurt. Prosecutors said Dahlby was trying to kill his wife to start a new life with another woman. Dahlby's wife, Mary, testified Tuesday her husband drew her bath after they spent the day taking a walk and a long motorcycle ride. While she took her bath, her husband came into the bathroom and dropped the cord into the bath, she said. She jumped out of the bath, but her husband tried to push her back in the tub, Mary Dahlby said. She got free and ran out of the bathroom. Her husband, who also was convicted of intimidation of a victim, was scheduled for sentencing December 10. Bada Bing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiery Jack Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Man says "log" in bath was to end marriage Thursday, October 32, 1996 Posted: 7:53 AM EDT (1153 GMT) ENGLAND, Burslem (AP) -- A man who said he accidentally shat a fresh steaming turd into his wife's bath whilst hoping merely to fart in her general direction was convicted of attempted housebreaking and other offences Wednesday. Mr. F. Jack said in court he was only trying to "gas" his wife "into signing the fucking divorce papers" the evening of May 9. He told jurors the accidental turd was linked to " unavoidable follow-through" subsequent to a "cushion-duster vindaloo fart" resulting from 13 pints of guinness, 8 double brandies, 24 "Pro-Plus" capsules, and a fiery takeaway Indian curry consumed during the 24 hours leading up to the incident. His wife was not hurt. Prosecutors said Mr. Jack was trying to "induce a state of unconsciousness" in his wife in order to be able surrepticiously to leave the premises and enter into a housebreaking spree in the area with his former school-friend associates, convicted safe-cracker Mr. Thomas Fothergill (known locally as "Lex" ), and arsonist pending current sentencing Mr Ernest Weller. Jack's wife testified Tuesday that her husband crapped in her bath after he'd spent the day drinking heavily with Fothergill and Weller at the nearby Swiller's Arms hostelry. While she took her bath, her husband came into the bathroom, lowered his trousers and jockey briefs, stooped to fart loudly in her face, then defacated violently into the water. Mr Weller, unsteady on his feet and clearly in a state of advanced intoxication, also undid his flies and urinated into the bath whilst uttering, "Big fucking toilet pan you've got in this joint," she said. She jumped out of the bath, but her husband, assisted by Mr Fothergill and Mr Weller, tried to push her back in the tub, Mrs Jack said. She got free and ran out of the bathroom as the by then half-naked Fothergill attempted to force her into a lewd and indecent act. :hubba: Her husband, who was also charged with possession of obscene literature with intent to distribute, indecent behaviour, drunk and disorderly conduct, :: resisting arrest, possession of a Shakin' Stevens' Greatest Hits CD, housebreaking, possession of counterfeit bills, criminal damage, defacing public property, bad fashion sense, and giving false name and address to a police officer, was scheduled for sentencing December 10. jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
