In the early morning of April 23, 2010, Robert Abrams was watching the Pittsburgh Penguins' triple-overtime playoff against the Ottawa Senators, when his wife, Jeannette, started arguing with him about finding time to watch hockey but not to find a job. The end result? Abrams killed her. The other result? The Penguins lost.
Abrams had confessed to police at the time to beating his wife in the head with a hammer and stabbing her, and then setting the house on fire with the intent of killing himself. He changed his mind and later escaped through a bathroom window.
An Allegheny County, PA jury heard testimony on this case on Monday, and returned a verdict of guilty of first-degree murder, arson and recklessly endangering another person by the following day. He faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole when he is sentenced.
Damn, that's taking hockey too seriously.
