The only problem is that Barbie would only "fry" with AC. That 6-volt battery is DC. George Westinghouse could have used that as reverse propaganda. I wonder if anyone pointed that out in the science fair.... I like it. The only problem is that Barbie would only “fry” with AC. That 6-volt battery is DC.

Presumably she put Ken up to it, and then he turned state's evidence about 20 seconds after the cops picked him up. Though realistically I would expect a jury to believe her tearful testimony over his, putting Ken away for life in the best noir tradition. Presumably he'd end up the boy toy of one or more GI Joe villains. Barbie would never dirty her hands actually killing someone.
