YONKERS, N.Y. (AP) - A real estate developer who was shot in the head as he slept at home says his cheating wife did it in an attempt to kill him and avoid a messy divorce.

Kenneth Dearden provided an unusually detailed look at the case from his point of view by filing a lawsuit against his wife, a New York Police Department psychologist, a year after the shooting and two weeks before she was arrested.

He said he was sleeping in their upscale suburban home on Nov. 14, 2013, and woke up with a searing pain in his jaw - from a gunshot to the base of his skull. He survived, possibly because the shooter apparently used an antique derringer that had been a gift to his wife from her parents.

For a psychologist, the way she went about this makes her seem more book smart than street smart.

He said he was sleeping in their upscale suburban home ..

Really? Who says, "I was sleeping in my upscale suburban home when ..."?

Psychologists are some of the most messed up people on the planet. No wonder they are virtually all Leftists.

LOL! Well ... he is a real estate developer ...

My oldest daughter is a psychologist, and she’s more conservative than Reagan. Perhaps a narrower brush?

[WayneS]

She didn’t do a very good job, apparently...

[yldstrk]

Psychologists are mainly stupid insane people that help no one

“Really? Who says, “I was sleeping in my upscale suburban home when ...”?

Thurston: “I was sleeping in one of our upscale suburban getaways when Lovey shot me with the Moore Number One derringer her mother had given her as a wedding present.”

My apologies, I meant clinical psychologists. Research is a different story altogether.

[Tax-chick]

LOL!

Ask a hundred guys who have been divorced more than seven years (the average time actually served for murder) if they’ve ever had this thought:

“If only I’d shot her then, I’d be out by now.”

I bet 2/3 would say yes.

And one third would say, “Now that you mention it...”

"Always a Salemen..except @ love" next.

Apparently his vision is blurred since the shooting.

Have to be crazy to marry her in the first place.
