Granny Git Yer Gun
Sounds like a flashback to Carrie Nation.
I recall a local case of a man in his mid-80’s committing a “crime of passion”. It was also fatal and not funny. Some young puke, passing him on the sidewalk, made a smart-assed comment—the old fart stabbed him to death.
Lightening up, I was heartened by the ~88 y/o man who was busted in a local prostitution sting. It’s encouraging that a man that age is still interested in getting his straw blown.

OCM: I only do that in the event of a Viagra overdose.

She’ll be dead before it ever gets to trial.
Maybe he was a genuine bad guy, and Great-Granny decided that she would trade what time she left to free her granddaugher from his abuse. We don’t know her motive yet, but she might be a hero. Keep an open mind on this one until more details come in.

ASM: Just like in “Sling Blade”—that’d work.
I can imagine her attorney claiming that it the Alzheimers doing the shooting. The judge responds, “Her Alzheimers is a goddam good shot!”.Posted by Oink

I don’t give a f**k how old this bitch is. She should get the needle if convicted!
Some of those old grannies just don’t f*** around. When you had a problem with someone back in their day, you took care of it. No cops, no judge, no jury. See the film “Gangs of New York” for further details.
I’m with ASM826, Let’s keep an open mind till all the facts come out. She may very well have done the whole country a huge favor. If not, I’ll volunteer to start the IV drip myself.
