Woman Murders Virtual Husband [crazy news]

Don't delete characters!!!!


A 43-year-old Japanese piano teacher is now at the mercy of the legal system in where she could end up spending 5 years in prison or have to pay up to $5,000 dollars. Why? Because she murdered her husband...virtually. After being divorced by her husband, in MapleStory, she decided to get even. She got into the 33-year-old man's account and deleted his character. When the man discovered that his character was no longer 'alive' so to speak, he called the police. The woman has now been jailed for suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data.

Wow. Times sure are changing. When I was coming up people usually murdered...well...other people, in the flesh. But what's weird is this woman is OLDER than me. So, I guess the use of "when I was coming up" applies to her as well even though she's nearly twice my age. Wow, what an interesting story. Here's hoping she simply has to pay the money rather than go to jail. Can you imagine the conversation in jail?

Random person: What are you in for?
Woman: Murder
Random person: Who'd you kill?
Woman: My ex-husband.
Random person: Wow, it must have been bloody.
Woman: No, it was just a click of a button.
Random person: Did you blow him up?
Woman: No, he'll be here to visit me soon.
Random person: .......

Yes, that would be a GREAT conversation!

I'd like to think a judge would toss something like this out, but the legal system these days is simply broken in many respects. God help us all.
