Murder by Hockey Stick
In the woods, sticks
make for great weapons, but at home, an individual will grab the nearest
instrument and it may be that baseball bat or it could be a Hockey Stick!
Just ask Gerald
Dennis Jr, a 45-year-old who suffers from an acute form of schizophrenia and now stands
accused of killing his sister. He claims she stole his disability money to buy
drugs and he claims he'd had enough. Found competent to stand trial he was
charged with first-degree murder in February.
Another fact discovered during my research for this challenge
is that the third most common murder weapons used are body parts – you know –
hands, feet, fists, and even the head (did you know a head
butt could be fatal?). As many as 900 people in one year have been fatally
injured when their assailant gave them a fatal blow to the head.
So while we have several weapons to choose from we can also use our own bodies as a weapon! What about you – have you honed your body's skills or is it the hockey stick or other weapon that you prefer?
