Sure Fire Cure For Hiccups: Soldier In Texas Charged With Killing Friend In Effort To Scare Him Out Of Hiccups

Pfc. Patrick Edward Myers, 27, was charged this week with manslaughter after he came up with a unique way to ridding his friend, Pfc. Isaac Lawrence Young, 22, of hiccups. He pulled a gun and shot Young in the face.

Shortly after 10 pm, Myers pulled the gun which accidentally discharged in the face of his friend. Presumably there were witnesses or some other way that the police ruled out an intentional act that would warrant a higher charge.

Manslaughter fits the alleged crime, if proven. It would not seem to leave much for a defense absent a denial of being the shooter. This is the type of case that is generally pleaded out with a request for leniency.

  1. You really make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I to find this matter to be
    actually one thing that I feel I’d never understand. It seems too complicated and very huge for me.
    I’m taking a look ahead to your subsequent submit, I’ll try to get
    the dangle of it!

  2. Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
    A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog
    shine. Please let me know where you got your design.
    Appreciate it

  3. I lived in the barracks in San Diego, Great Lakes, and Treasure Island. Nobody ever pulled a gun on me.

  4. Rafflaw,

    In all jolliness, have you forgotten your deeds at 21 years. Or had the nuns trained that out of you?
    In the latter case reveal the school and expect a large enrollment increase next year.
