Helpful hint: Don't tick off your ex

Another fun Ocala story courtesy of the Ocala Star-Banner. Here are the headlines:

Woman guilty of trying to murder ex-husband (Defendant drove car into porch after former spouse sang karaoke duet with other woman)

Anyway, here goes:

OCALA - A Silver Springs woman who deliberately drove her car onto the porch of a mobile home in an attempt to kill her ex-husband was found guilty of attempted second-degree murder Tuesday.
**********
The 50-year-old rammed her 1998 Nissan C-39 across the porch on Memorial Day 2007 at Silver Springs RV Park, as her ex-husband of 13 years drank beer with a friend.

The friend, Michael Young, sustained several non-life-threatening injuries, while the ex-husband, David G. Rowley, was treated for a sprained ankle.

"I tried to kill him," Debra Rowley told sheriff's Deputy Joshua O'Carroll. When asked why, she replied, "Because I hate him," the deputy testified Tuesday.

David Rowley testified in Circuit Judge David Eddy's courtroom that his ex-wife was "mad and upset" about seeing him sing a karaoke duet with another woman at a party in the park earlier in the day.

"She's always been a little bit jealous," he told the jurors. "She just flipped out when I was singing with the other lady."

Come on guys! I mean, of course we know not to piss off the ex, right?

Some of us don't learn this until it's (almost) too late.

And yes, we're so proud.
