In Las Vegas a 63 year old man was sentenced to five years of probation for pushing his wife off a twenty foot cliff into a lake. He initially faced attempted murder charges but ended up pleading guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge. This case was handled in federal court since he pushed her into Lake Mead Recreation Area. According to court records someone on a personal watercraft picked up his wife and took her to call 911.
He was wrong for pushing her off the cliff, whether he meant harm or not.
The article isn't very detailed and doesn't state whether this was done with intent to harm his wife or not. There is a quote from a judge that he thinks it wasn't out of fun. If someone had to rescue her and calling 911 doesn't sound like an angry wife that was the butt of a practical joke. It's not like they are spring chickens, they are in their 60's. I doubt they were up on the cliff pushing each other around.
I can't imagine my dad pushing my mother off a cliff as a practical joke, if so he better hope she doesn't make it, haha!
