A man took his dislike of his mother in law another step.
How could you dislike a 95 year old lady that much?


PAMPLIN, Va. (AP) — A Virginia man accused of trying to kill his mother-in-law by putting methamphetamine in her coffee has been sentenced to six years in prison.

The News & Advance reports 56-year-old Jack David Price was sentenced Thursday after reaching a plea deal. Prosecutors dropped an attempted first-degree murder charge in exchange for Price pleading guilty to altering food, drink or drugs and other offenses.

Prosecutors say Price's 95-year-old mother-in-law, Ester Price, was admitted to a hospital last year showing signs of meth in her system.

Her granddaughter told authorities she believed her stepfather, Jack Price, was trying to kill her grandmother. Investigators learned he had said he'd put meth in her coffee and Ester Price told authorities that he brought her coffee, an unusual gesture, the day she became ill.

I don't know the backstory to this case, but I reckon there are plenty of old folks that only made it to that age because "they needed killin'" isn't usually a valid reason to go about helping someone out of their mortal coil.

On the bright side, I bet she got a lot of stuff done that day.

Just because she's 95 years old doesn't mean she hasn't been a raging bitch for most of them. Also doesn't justify what he did. I guess he's lucky he's not serving life for murder.

This guy isn't a scientific rocket, clearly. Never fails to impress me how many people get on their iphone to search out "how to kill my MIL" and "how much meth do I need to put in her coffee to snuff her?" Why meth?

As has been told me many times by those in LE, thank goodness most criminals are idiots.

Picture of the perp explains it. Use what's on hand and known to be toxic. I originally post the picture but the sooner forgotten the better.

First thing my wife said too.

I can’t imagine my MIL on meth....seems like a bad idea.

Well, it didn't work out too bad for him.

He won't have to be around her for the next six years and when he does get out she will probably be dead.

He wasn't exactly a criminal methtermind.

Probably a couple of big cups of espresso would have done the job he wanted to accomplish.

Whew, news story I read didn't show his picture, TG!

Maybe for her money, or property...

Article didn't give a motive did it?
