I think I would rather take my chances jumping out the window in that situation.

Your witness will be your mistress. It will also depend on how many assets you stand to lose form a divorce, but in this "freak" occurence, your wife just happens to get shot when she walks in on you and the mistress. How many assets were titled jointly and will be going to you? How much did you "love" your wife if you were willing to pull the trigger on her?

Like I said, I would rather jump out the window from the second story than face a jury under those conditions.

As far as people of small stature potentially causing severe bodily harm, I will agree with you.

Regarding your question about having visited a burn unit, I have never done so. I was just looking at it from a legal stand point and if I would like to be the defense attorney on that case. I sure wouldn't and you can bet I would be getting a large retainer in advance of the trial.
