“Gun Death” Chemist

Maybe I should be worried. While my wife keeps a .38 close at hand, what may be more dangerous is that she’s a CHEMIST!

A Chinese-born chemist who worked for a decade for one of America’s biggest pharmaceutical companies was a cold, calculating murderer who poisoned her husband rather than let him divorce her, a judge said Monday as he sentenced her to life in prison…Thallium has been banned for consumer use in the U.S. since 1972. It can be fatal in doses as small as a gram and has been called “the perfect poison” because it is difficult to detect in lab tests. It was initially suspected to be the toxin used in the 2006 fatal poisoning in London of former Russian KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko, but it was later determined he had ingested the rare radioactive isotope polonium-210.

Wang, 39, checked into Princeton Medical Center in January 2011 suffering from what appeared to be the flu or some other virus. He eventually lapsed into a coma and died on Jan. 26. Li was at her husband’s side in the hospital, even changing his bedpan, Altman pointed out to the judge.

Of course since my wife works in a Chemistry Lab she has access to such deadly chemicals. Should I be worried, or only concerned about “Gun Death”? Or maybe I should only be concerned if she suddenly has a desire to kill me?

    If someone really wants to kill you, they’ll find a way.
