78 year old woman murders 85 year old man in love triangle killing
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/8975885/

ATLANTA - A 78-year-old woman was indicted Tuesday on charges she shot her 85-year-old ex-beau to death as he read the newspaper in a senior citizens home.

Lena Sims Driskell was charged with murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Herman Winslow was slain June 10.

Police said Driskell was angry that her yearlong romance with Winslow had ended and he was seeing another woman. She allegedly shot Winslow four times with an antique handgun at the Hightower Manor retirement home in southwest Atlanta, where the two lived.

“I did it and I’d do it again!” she allegedly told officers.

1. Don't mess with granny!
“I did it and I’d do it again!”

Am I the only one that thinks her lawyer will try to get her declared incompetent?

2. You gotta admire her spunk!
She's still spry at 78! Even if she is a murderer.
