Locking your estranged wife in a headlock and shooting her in the head, killing her, will get you 24.5 years in prison. Breaking up is hard but there are better ways of permanently separating.

Franklin L. Grammer Jr. took shittier route and received the sentence yesterday in Johnson County court for killing Betty

Jo Grammer in a super dickish way, ambushing her while she was painting a house in Fairway, Kansas. Grammer also shot another man, but didn't kill him.



In June, Grammer entered a guilty plea to second-degree murder and

attempted

first-degree murder charges.

After Grammer pulled off his ambush

on June 8, 2009, he fled to California. He was arrested

at a Econo Lodge after an eight-hour standoff. Police fired tear

gas in the room, where they found Grammer suffering

from a self-inflicted

gunshot wound to the upper body. They also found a pistol in the room. Grammer apparently couldn't do to himself what he did to his wife.
