Kill your wife, get banned from the pub..
Apparently it’s a more meaningful sentence……
A judge has told a Glasgow pensioner that stopping him going to the pub was a "more meaningful" sentence than a prison term for killing his wife.
Edward Flaherty, 74, was convicted of strangling 69-year-old Ina Flaherty with a tie after she refused to give him money to go out drinking.
He says he can’t recall throttling her and experts say he has dementia and is in physical decline, so that makes it ok then. He should have had a custodial sentence in double figures but a single year of a pub ban is just as good…..
Ah, domestic violence, will it ever stop?
