I want to read this thread, but I can't read this thread because of the margin thing. What in the world?

If it was planned he is an idiot.
Any life insurance policy in the world would dispute this payment.
The family will dispute the will or file a wrongful death so a financial benefit is not likely.

Oklahoma allows prosecution for foreseeable outcome of an act even if the intent was not death or bodily injury. If the prosecutor calls this an accident instead of a reckless act with a foreseeable outcome he should be removed from his job.

Was the gun legally owned? If it wasn't and owning it was illegal that is another avenue with death resulting as a result of a criminal act.

Well, being Missizzy, I am concerned with the date. The Winter Solstice. We need to remember that there was a full/blood red lunar eclipse that evening as well as a brilliant meteor shower. It was stunning in Oregon but I'm not sure if it was even visible in Oklahoma.

We need to know more about this man's other interests besides guns--real guns and those which magically load themselves. His story could be true...could be. Nothing surprises me anymore about sexual practices. All he really needs is reasonable doubt, right? But is it plausible? I don't think so.

I have lots of questions. Were there other injuries to the body? Did the gunshot kill the woman or might she already have been dead? Had she recently engaged in sexual activities? Had she been despondent and/or possibly suicidal (and possibly loaded the gun herself...unlikely that he wouldn't notice)? What did the 911 call sound like? What did the scene of the crime include? Any ritual items? Other fetish items?

Even though the date is disturbing, most satanic ritual murders do not include a single gunshot. I'm reminded of the recent murder of Margret Dalton, 48, by her new boyfriend, Jason Budrow, 30, of Southern California. He's the man with 666 tattooed on his forehead who drove Margret's body to the police station and confessed to her murder by strangulation. By all accounts, Margret was a pretty conventional wife and grandmother who'd recently changed her lifestyle. I'm wondering how long this couple had been together and if this woman ever journaled or talked to therapists or friends about these fantasy games/escapades. Were there books, films, , etc, in the bedroom that point to this type of fantasy?

And like IWannaKnow asked, I'd love to know where and how they met.

Thanks for that link: snipped

"Joshua Beasley will spend three to five years in prison for second-degree assault that resulted in the death of his wife, Alaina."

He pleaded nolo contendere to the second-degree assault - as my criminal law professor (who is a public defender) said, "it makes my job easier when the only witness is dead."

In the end of the article it says that with good behavior Joshua Beasley will likely only spend a 1.5 years in jail. And Joshua admits to loading the gun, it's just that he claims he forgot it was loaded just a short time later.

So for first degree murder, one might be looking at a long prison sentence, a life in prison, or even a death penalty. For an accidental shooting, maybe no charges at all in some cases, or a few years behind bars.

Most criminals aren't that bright so he could very well be a big idiot. If the motive were not financial gain and he just wanted to be rid of her, then maybe not so idiotic if that's a gamble he's willing to take. Too many facts we don't know - I could speculate for forever on conspiracies and motives but that would be a waste of time. It's an interesting story and will be watching to see how the system handles it.

I've spent about 4 hours sleuthing this couple and I ended up more confused than when I read the first post. There's an awful lot of stuff that just does not add up, IMO. A Myspace page for an Arthur Sedille (no doubt the correct one due to several details):

http://www.myspace.com/christianredneckjuggalo6

Arthur's "countdown clocks" are interesting as he marks his marriage, his last ticket, his last arrest, and the death of Mary Riel. Mary was a young woman killed in a horrible car accident in Sanford, FL where Sedille once lived:

http://mydeathspace.com/article/200...r_vehicle_struck_a_train_while_fleeing_police

I also found an archived notice of Arthur's birth in December 1987. He's used the name Arthur John Sedille and Arthur T. Sedille. He's surely moved around a lot. His wife is more challenging to sleuth but it looks as if she's been married at least two other times. She and Sedille seem to "cross paths" even prior to their marriage.

I'll be very interested as to how this plays out. My prayers go out to Becca's family members. This must be a total nightmare.

FWIW, I see no Arthur Sedille as being held in any Oklahoma jail according to Vinelink. Maybe he posted bail.

I don't like a couple of the updates in the lower right corner, considering... Particularly the one about a demonically living angel beating the evil out of unbelievers is concerning to me. It doesn't sound like someone I would like pointing a gun at me during sex, or during any other activity.

Finally! An article with some comments.....seems to be some family members weighing in on the situation. Says Arthur and Becca were crazy in love and this had to be an accident. "Arthur" on Dec 22 says Arthur struggled most of his life and was only just getting things in his life in order. They had just come from a birthday trip to Arizona and were upbeat and happy.....Rachel speculates that it could have been Becca's gun (???) because "AJ" worked late all the time.

If he goes to trial, that should be interesting. Listening to testimonies of how they did this in the past. WOW and OMG is all I can say. Judge and attorneys will surely need a drink after that.

I need a drink just reading about it, and I don't even drink!

Good lawd, if anyone hears of me dying this way, don't believe it was a "game" for an instant. No way in Hades would I want a gun anywhere near me during sex. Good grief!

 

[legalmania]

Why does Phil Spector come to mind. Wonder if he'll try to use the same defense? It's probably a little to late.

 

[Missizzy]

I couldn't agree more, tezi!! If I go this way, don't believe it.

'Sex Fantasy' Shooting Leads To Manslaughter Charge Against OKC Man

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Canadian County District Attorney has charged a man with manslaughter after he admitted to shooting his wife in the head while the two were in bed.

Oklahoma County District Attorney Michael Fields said Sedille "created an unreasonable risk and probability of death or great bodily harm" when he put the gun to Rebecca Sedille's forehead.

If convicted, Sedille could be sentenced to at least four years in prison.

Four years. At least four years. Wow. I still want to know who put the bullets in that gun.

Sounds like a Dennis Bulloch type of case. He's the guy who had kinky sex with his wife, duck taped her to a chair and set the garage on fire. Here are a couple of links to the story.

He entered prison in September 2011 & his first parole hearing is set for December 2015. Regardless, his sentence is up in December 2016. Then he has 9 years of parole. So he got a bit stiffer sentence than the four years.

There are a few factors here which I find disturbing, including the age difference and the vast difference in their interests as stated on FB.

Well it appears they had the same interests in some areas.

Gun play is not that unusual, just make sure you clean the weapon afterwards to prevent rust, and be careful as the sights can really hurt. Like consensual strangulation, if your partner ends up dead you won't be able to 'splain your way out of prison time.

So he is going to get out soon and he is still young.
