A Wisconsin man tossed a live electrical wire into the tub while his wife was bathing, "hoping a near-death experience would save their marriage." From an Associated Press report:
William Dahlby said in court he was only trying to scare his wife the evening of May 9. He told jurors the wire was hooked to a "ground fault interrupter" designed to cut the electricity when the cord encountered water. His wife was not hurt.
Dahlby was convicted yesterday of attempted first-degree murder.
