Did you hear the story a few years ago about the woman who stabbed her husband.

Apparently the husband was a raging drunk and had a habit of coming home and depending on his state of inebriation he would either beat her up or collapse in a heap on the kitchen table - sometimes both. Anyway, one night he came home from a heavy night and collapsed on the kitchen table, she at the end of thether, stabbed him many times with a kitchen knife. She then phoned the police and waited until they'd arrived. When the autopsy result came through it turned out that he had actually died of a heart attack prior to the stabbing. She got away with it because she couldn't be accused of murdering someone who was already dead.
