Methodical Heike Strassman, 34, clubbed husband Thomas, 46, to death

I kind of want to believe that her first name is methodical and it's not a descriptor.

Well.... and the severed leg on the back seat of the car... ;-)

It is just like leaving the gas tank open when you drive off from the station, really they are quite similar, only one is a human leg that you cut off.

"I panicked and I made a mistake," she told the court.

Oh, well then that's fine. Off you go.

Was the "mistake" forgetting about the leg or the murder? Wow..just wow. Guess she won't be hurrying back to her kids anytime soon. The things people think they can get away with!

I thought you put corpses in the trunk. What was it doing in the back seat where it could stain the upholstery?

It was in a garbage bag, the upholstery should be fine

Well, I would suppose, that after murdering someone, you might be in bit of a panic. Poor thing though, after all that work! Yuck.

Too bad it wasn't an arm though, she might have been able to stuff that under the seat.

He has a leg-up on her.

She kept is so she'd have a leg to stand on in court.

Maybe she still gets a kick out of him.

Thank you and remember to tip your waitress
