Affair with teacher leads to slaying

[johnnie]

"KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — In a tragic twist to a familiar story, a teenager who had sex with his married 30-year-old teacher was fatally shot outside the woman's home, and authorities have charged the woman's husband.

"You see all this stuff with teachers involved with their students. It just comes up time after time on the national news," said Norman McLean, father of suspect Eric McLean. But this time, he said, someone "actually died over it."

McLean's wife, Erin, had completed half of a one-year teaching internship at West High School, where she met the 18-year-old Sean Powell last fall."

3. Actually, no . . .

. . . in that it appears that it was the cuckold husband who shot and killed the student. Not sure why he didn't shoot his wife, while he was at it, but there it is.

4. ?

I think he shot only the boy and not his wife

[johncoby2]

5. If he had shot both........

then they would be together.

7. Yeah.

He tried to claim he was an intruder even though the kid was in his car leaving.:eyes:
Side note: The teacher has tried to commit suicide.

8. Right, that's what I said . . .

It's not clear to me why he didn't shoot his wife as well, if he was that upset. After all, it was his wife who was cheating on him, not the 18-year-old.

6. Yup - right down the road from my house.

9. So where's the chorus that righteously screams

So where's the chorus that righteously screams, "... this is every teenage boys fantasy!!!" a thread like this comes around?

...crickets...

10. Well

Getting blown away by the husband isn't much of a fantasy. :shrug:

But I know what ya mean.

[DavidDvorkin]

11. Well, it was every teenaged boy's fantasy

Right up to that last part.

That last part is every cuckolded husband's fantasy.



(Maybe not every, but I didn't want to qualify and ruin the nice symmetry of the above.)
