Death by Exercise

Okay, now I've heard it all. Up in a once red U.S. state turned blue, a 41-year old transgender woman was found guilty of reckless homicide. How? By killing her 70-something-year-old husband with excessive exercise.

The story is HERE.

So, she forced him to swim for so long in a pool that he had a heart attack. If it wasn't for a surveillance camera, she would have gotten away with it, too. Damn, that makes me wonder... what if you are in the middle of some hot, passionate sex with a kinky twist of videotaping -- and after a while, he tries unsuccessfully to struggle away from you before he has a heart attack.

If the cops found that videotape and decided to take you to court, could a jury find you guilty of murder by reckless lovemaking? Without audio on the videotape, such as in the story of this unfortunately dead swimmer, one has to wonder.....

    That might be the 'new' trial of the century.

  2. I have recently experienced "death by chocolate", an ice cream cake extraordinary slice of heaven and bliss and no one was prosecuted ... yet. That being said however, you are right, without audio and no other witnesses [I presume], who is to 'say' that the truth was she was trying to kill him? And did she have anything gain [aka will filled with riches/insurance policy] upon him dying? Note to self: destroy all of those video tapes of those hot, reckless, love making scenes.

  3. Yes, Constant Motion... you destroy our tapes, and I'll agree to destroy mine. :-) These kinds of cases are such slippery slopes, aren't they? Note to self: Always hit it in the dark and only make grunting, animal noises -- no words.
