Funny, I thought counselling was a better answer

William Dahlby’s marriage was in serious trouble, so he came up with a rather drastic solution:

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.

Right. So in other words, he was trying to save his marriage by deliberately scaring her. That’s a great way to keep couples together.

The logic of criminals….
