Can poker eventually lead to a cold-blooded murder? Well, apparently it can. Shockingly enough, a Californian woman mad at her husband for losing money in poker games (and maybe other marriage-related stuff too) stabbed her husband to death and later tried to commit suicide. The stabbing incident took place in a luxurious condominium near the Las Vegas Strip and the suicide attempt in another state altogether, California, several days after the murder.
If you're reading this blog, you probably think that I'm hallucinating, but no! This is actually part of a news item that I just read and left me thinking. The article actually said that the murderous wife had lots of reasons to be furious at her husband, poker was just one of them. The hubby, as it turned out, was quite a maniac, deceiving his family, friends and business partners by taking their money and never paying them back. The wife probably decided that the scumbag didn't deserve to live anymore (this is, however, my assumption!).
Regardless, the reasons (whether the murder was justified or not), the wife is very likely to spend the rest of her life behind bars. I guess she'd have lots of time to ponder upon her wrongdoing. In the meantime, in my opinion, poker has nothing to do with such cruelty!
