A Prince Georges man was convicted for murdering his wife and a family friend. The man killed the two because he suspected them of having an affair. Although the story mainly sticks to the facts, the facts seem to be entertaining.
1. jealously- the distraut husband (luckett) unloads over 13 rounds at his wife and her suspected lover
2. man hunt- Luckett was on the run from the law for two days after the shootings
3. attempted suicide- Luckett tried to use a metro train to crush himself but only lost his legs in the incident
4. insanity- Luckett's lawyer tried to argue that his client was suffering from a mental illness
Although this case is not getting too much attention I feel that a case like this could cause officials to look more closely at insanity pleas.
Sounds like a future Law & Order episdoe to me!
