Linda Duffey called it an accident after shooting her husband to death with a revolver gun. He said, "No more Buwwets" just like Elmer Fudd says to Bugs Bunny in a cartoon. Linda then fans that revolver like a Western movie & kills her husband.
The first trial had a Hung-Jury & believed Linda's story. The judge declared a mistrial. This was 7 years after she shot her husband. The second trial never introduced the cartoon defense. Linda was convicted of 2nd degree murder. It all came down to the revolver & that second gunshot. Patrick Duffey was raised with guns & he always emptied every gun before he went to bed. Linda practiced shooting revolvers with him & she knew how to shoot.
I agree with the gun ballistics expert. The first gunshot was an accident, but the second gunshot was Murder. Linda didn't use a single action revolver where you can fan it second after second. She used a double action revolver where you had to work the revolver which takes 1 minute to shoot the next bullet. What happened in that 1 minute? Accident or Murder? The second jury believed it was murder.
