(Live Action) – An Arizona man who shot his wife point-blank says he did it to end her so-called “pain and suffering,” and his story has quickly become a rallying point for assisted suicide advocates.
According to court documents, 67-year-old Michael Gelleny shot his wife, 65-year-old Brenda, at their home. He claimed he had planned to kill himself afterwards also, but couldn’t go through with it, and instead, called the Goodyear Police Department and confessed.
Gelleny said he shot her once, in the back of the head, “to make it as quick as possibly (sic) without pain,” and that he kissed her and told her he loved her before murdering her. CONTINUE
