92 year old Woman, charged with killing 98-year-old husband in Australia

A sad story as MSNBC.com reports a woman is charged with murdering her husband after he had a head wound. Not common for 90 year old spouses to murder one another although if it were to happen in Florida or most places in the US that person would be unable to inherit from the persons estate that they intentionally and unlawfully cause the death to occur as a result of actions they took. In Florida it is what is called the Slayer Statute which is Florida statute 732.802 and can be read by clicking here. It is public policy that those who do an illegal act should not then benefit as a result.
