THE COPS DIDN'T BUY IT ... I DON'T THINK A JURY WOULD EITHER

Accidents happen.  Stupid happens.  People do shoot themselves by being careless cleaning their guns.  People even shoot other people legitimately by accident while cleaning their guns.  I have never heard of anybody shooting TWO people "by accident" while cleaning his gun.

Roger Hanks, 76, is in custody in East Marlborough Township, PA after shooting his wife, Judith Hanks, 75, and his daughter, Emily Hanks, 37, shortly after an admitted family dispute.

Allegedly Hanks warned and then shot his wife, a situation witnessed by the daughter.  She then charged at daddy and he (allegedly) plugged her as well.  Both women died.

About three hours AFTER the shooting Hanks mentioned to his family that he had shot and killed his wife and daughter.  The neighbor called the cops.  At some time during questioning Hanks apparently admitted to the cops that he shot both women deliberately.

He is current a guest of the people at the Chester County Jail facing two charges of 1st degree murder.  If found guilty the penalty is LWOP or execution.  The state of Pennsylvania has in fact not executed anyone in 25 years.
