90-year-old man butchers 85-year-old wife

Brenda Hooker lives just down the street from the Martin house, and has known the couple for about 10 years. Hooker could not believe the news and said Jeanette Martin “was just a sweet lady” and recalled William “Bill” Martin was an “awfully gentle person” who walked down the street to visit Hooker's father in her home before he died.

It's really disturbing when someone who seems okay would do something like this. Can you imagine being married for that long and killing someone like that after spending most of your life together.

I'll wait for the jokes about marriage to come in now.

It sounds like the grandson was there -- I wonder if he got there after it happened. One would hope that a 46-year-old man would be able to stop a 90-year-old man from carving up his grandmother.

Unless I missed it, I don't see where it mentions how long they have been together. If the were together for the last 50 years or so, I could see a case where he never laid a hand on her or argued much until one day 50 years of bottling up any frustration came out in one horrific way.

You're right, I don't think they mentioned it. I just assumed that they had been together a while.

It said their 46 year old grandson.

Not saying that they couldn't have only been together for a short time, and they both considered him a grandson.

That is kind of a big part of the story that was left out if you ask me. What if they got married 6-7 years ago and this was his 5th marriage and 3 of his other wives died under "suspicious" terms? Or maybe he just had a history of domestic abuse in the other marriages. I can't come to a conclusion until I get the facts. This reporter gets an "F".

*Edit* - Good catch Fuzz

A man can only take so much nagging!

Take the trash out! Pick up your dirty clothes! Would it kill you to help out around here once in a f'ing while? I cook and clean for you and do you appreciate it? All you do is sit around the bloody house all day! Would it kill you to get out? You never take me anywhere!

Or in the case of Rod Stewart's ex-wife Racheal Hunter and my ex-finacee, "All you do is spend your free times plain with your toy trains!"

Since they had a 46 yo grandson, they probably had been married for 66 years! That's a long bloody time to be with one woman!

If I were his lawyer, I would try and get more men on the Jury and go for th Nag defense!

My guess. Something is wrong here.

My grandad got violent prior to his death in 1995. He suffered some mild strokes and was diagnosed with dementia. He didn't go this far, but he hit my grandmother and two of my aunts who were taking care of him. He had to be put in a home where he could be watched. This happened over the course of about a month in his case, and he was only about 78 at the time, so this kind of thing can come on someone quickly.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
