Nikki's body was recovered from a creek northwest of Lebanon March 26, after Andrew told detectives that he dumped her there after striking her with a flower pot during a fight outside their farmhouse.
Whats even worse is, his wife finished chemotherapy for breast cancer the week before she was killed.

(31,532 posts)he admits to dumping her body, but the good folks of Boone County say "Yep, that's the guy I'm voting for".
What is wrong with people?

(504 posts)it's how they roll. I will say as a Michigander that I normally don't put our schitzo state above too many in the Union. However, Indiana is......bottom of the barrel along with West Virginia and a handful of southern states. Politically, Socially, etc...Sorry Hoosiers but your state is the pits.

(2,102 posts)We do suck, I know. The blue dots in this blood red state are doing our best, but fighting stupidity on this level is like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.
Also, I'm sorry about Mike Pence. And Richard Mourdock. And Dan Burton. And Dan Quayle. And practically all of our House representatives that have ever served.

These people can vote, and vote for the people who tell women what they can do with their bodies and why none of us can smoke pot.

(14,061 posts)I dont know how the hell this didnt come out until after the prinary. I was shocked when I saw the TV story. His mother holds some kind of county council seat and he is a well-known dairy farmer.
Apparently, his wife found out he was cheating on her while she was undergoing cancer treatment, and thats what caused the fight. Of course, SHE attacked HIM first.
This is bad, even for Indiana.
