PORTLAND, Maine — A 51-year-old farmer from rural Maine wept in court and expressed remorse Friday as he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for fatally shooting a friend in the head during a drug-fueled party in a "sex dungeon" of a suburban home.

Bruce Davidson apologized for causing the death of Fred Wilson, a 50-year-old computer technician who was killed when Davidson shot him with a .44-caliber revolver during a night of sexual play at Wilson's home in South Portland.

It’s all fun and games until someone gets shot in the head....

The shooting took place April 18, 2009, after the three men had been drinking beer, smoking pot, consuming the party drug GBL, huffing aerosol inhalants and having sex over a 12-hour period in the basement of Wilson's home.

Davidson said he thought his revolver was empty when he put it to Wilson's head and pulled the trigger to heighten the sexual intensity. The gun clicked the first time Davidson pulled the trigger, but went off when he pulled it a second time.

Don't you just hate weekends like that?

Alcohol, drugs, 3 guys, a sex dungeon and a gun.

I just can’t imagine why this party took such a poor turn. I hope they figure it out, so this won’t happen again.

Accidental discharges at such parties can lead to your name being omitted from future guest lists.

Sounds like going to prison is the same thing for him, minus the gun.

Crowley said he didn't think Davidson was taking full responsibility and that he showed "extreme recklessness" by bringing guns and ammunition to a party where drugs were being consumed in large quantities.

Is it not irresponsible and 'reckless' being at a party where drugs were being consumed in the first place?

I heart Maine - too bad it’s such a lib heaven.

Now let's leave it to prescient Freddie to wrap it all up!

Mama just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life has just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody
I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oooooooh (Anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

Davidson received a 10-year sentence for manslaughter after a drug-fueled sex party led to the shooting death of his friend Fred Wilson, last year in South Portland

As Davidson has AIDS, Wilson was probably going to die anyway, but look at it through the prism of 0bamaCare: Davidson has saved taxpayers the cost of endless HIV-drug cocktails <--- really hate using that term in a story like this), which would have had to eventually be provided for the deceased.

Let that be a lesson to 'em all.

I went to Bangor, Maine a few years ago. It was in Feburary. An Army buddy living in Arizona who owned his own plane picked a few of us up on they way there to visit another Army bud who was terminally ill with cancer. Our plane skidded off the end of the runway. Our terminally ill friend found it hilarious that he almost outlived all of us. That was the last time we ever saw him. His wife was pregnant when we went to see him and he hung on long enough to see his son born. I have not been in Maine since.

It was training in preparation to join Obama's army.

And then Bruce Willis and Ving Rhames burst in.

If this guy needs a replacement "Joan" for his next William Tell, I can come up with a few names for him... :)
