A Texas woman has escaped being charged with negligent homicide after she killed her husband with a sherry enema. Tammy Jean Warner had been scheduled to go on trial over the death of Michael Warner, 58.
Tammy Jean and Michael WarnerBut Brazoria County District Attorney Jeri Yenne said the charges had been dismissed due to a lack of evidence.
She said the dead man had had a "severe alcohol issue" and it was not clear his wife had committed a crime.
"Let's say I have lung cancer and I continue to smoke. If you provide cigarettes to me, is that negligent homicide?" Ms Yenne asked.
"I really wrestled with the consent issue and negligence issue. I didn't think it rose to the level of negligent homicide."
Michael Warner, a machine shop operator, died at the couple's Lake Jackson home on May 21, 2004.
According to a post mortem report, Mr Warner had been given an enema containing enough sherry to produce a blood alcohol level six times the legal driving limit.
At the time his wife was indicted, Lake Jackson police detective Robert Turner said Michael Warner was a longtime alcoholic who sometimes used enemas to get drunk because a medical condition made it painful for him to drink.
Warner claimed her husband had been addicted to enemas since he was a child. She said he often used alcohol in that manner to get drunk.
Bottom's Up!
OMG.....that pun was sooooo not necessary for this thread.
<P.But, I am glad you posted it.
Speechless.....shocked.....WTF!!!
How does one become addicted to enemas? How do you get married to such an individual if you know about this addiction?
Kinda reminds of when I was in the hospital once. My three grown sons were standing around the bed when I told the nurse I had a headache. She went out and came back with the remedy and said rollover. I said I have a headache and she said rollover. I didn’t know aspirin came in suppositories. After the laughter subsided I said I’ll never have another headache. My boys have never let me forget it.
It’s all fun and games until someone dies from a sherry enema!
I know they gave Cancer patients who are near the end and in great pain Morphine suppositories for pain.
Dead drunk on his ass.
Keep up the good work...drinks are on the house!
Don't you mean "in"?
I’ll never look at a bottle of sherry the same way.
Look at the title of each of those songs in the context of this thread. Pretty funny!
You summed up my thoughts exactly, JRBC!
Fatal sherry enema???? Hmmmm, I know a gal named Sherry...
Down the hatch!
