Man says he killed his ex-wife by accident
Fatal shot was result of ‘fooling around’


NIAGARA FALLS — Police said the motive was unclear, but the remorse was genuine as a city man admitted killing his ex-wife by putting a .44 Magnum revolver to her head Sunday night and pulling the trigger.

John A. Polley, 66, called police and told them Julia A. Polley of 68th Street, was dead in a basement bedroom at his 337 78th St. home and that he had shot her just before 10 p. m.

He told city police investigators that the two had been drinking all day and said his ex-wife agreed to come to his place to have sex, then got “frisky” with a gun, which went off.

“We were fooling around,” Polley told Detective Frank Coney. “I pointed the gun at her with my finger on the trigger.

....

“She wanted me to show her the gun,” he told police. “It enhances sex. It helps her and it helps me.”

[Orrex]

2. And to think that a lot of men his age are shooting blanks

Note to self: that was a disgusting and insensitive thing to say.

4. Remorse was genuine, eh? And how do they tell?

What a crappily written article.

[glowing]

8. Well, that means they are probably going to slap his on the wrist.

[WI_DEM]

18. I was wondering about that too? how do we know that it wasn't cold blooded murder?

just because he had some tears in his eyes?

[jpak]

7. Niagara Falls....slowly I turn...

n/t

[XOKCowboy]

11. OMG I forgot about that...

That brings back memories. It also automatically puts you on my Buddy List. :)

I wonder how many other DUers know who you're talking about.

12. Love dem Stooges.

:hi:

27. I love the Stooges too...

But 'Slowly I turn...' was a skit from the Abbott and Costello show.

[Lance_Boyle]

28. stooges - I remember it vividly.

Not to say A & C didn't have something similar, or didn't perform a variation of the same skit, but "NIAGARA FALLS! Slowly I turn, step by step, inch by inch" was definitely stooges.

[SidDithers]

31. Wasn't there a version done by Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd too?...

I've got a vague memory of a seeing a cartoon version. Trying to locate it on the google machine right now.

19. Step by step ... inch by inch

:rofl:

[undeterred]

14. Anyone who falls for this is an idiot.

Its like a rapist who claims his victim loves rough sex in order to excuse his actions.

[peacefreak]

15. Wow

She really got a bang out of that.

[NashVegas]

16. "Fear Is Never Boring"

Just culling the herd.

[WI_DEM]

17. "it helps her..." yeah, helped her into eternity.

When will dummies stop using guns around the house even for sex!

[atommom]

20. I know there are people stupid enough to do that, but I can't help but wonder

if he's just covering up an intentional murder. Holding a loaded gun to her head during sex "helped" her...?

[anonymous171]

21. Not helping the gun rights cause. He embodies all the stereotypes of a "gun nut"

You know, that person for whom a gun is an extension of their sexuality (penis) and power, rather than a tool for self-defense.

Also they were stupid and didn't unload the fucking thing.

[madmom]

22. Had this happen many moons ago here, but it was the other way around and the guy

was a police officer. She got away with it.

[Deja Q]

23. Noe the John: That's not the right gun to have used if you wanted her to give head.

:shrug:

[cherokeeprogressive]

24. Guns don't kill people. Having sex with a gun in your hand might though... n/t

[Marrah_G]

25. ummmmm sex games with a loaded gun?

I REALLY hope they did not breed.

[aikoaiko]

26. He did it wrong.

and he should go to jail for it.


I understand fetishes, but if you fuck up, there should be prison time consequences.

Or maybe his tale is just a cover for murder. Either way -- prison.

[surrealAmerican]

29. He should be in jail.

It's not about the sex, and it's not about "remorse". This is a person who "plays" with a loaded gun when he's drunk.

[gollygee]

30. I agree

and I'm amazed by how people joke like this when the gist of the story is that a woman got shot in the head.
