    Man Has Odd Defense for Attempted Murder

    Wed Oct 27,11:55 PM ET Strange News - AP

    LA CROSSE, Wis. - A man who said he threw a live electrical wire into his wife's bath hoping a near-death experience would save their marriage was convicted of attempted first-degree intentional homicide Wednesday.

    William Dahlby said in court he was only trying to scare his wife the evening of May 9. He told jurors the wire was hooked to a "ground fault interrupter" designed to cut the electricity when the cord encountered water. His wife was not hurt.

    Prosecutors said Dahlby was trying to kill his wife to start a new life with another woman.

    Dahlby's wife, Mary, testified Tuesday her husband drew her bath after they spent the day taking a walk and a long motorcycle ride.

    While she took her bath, her husband came into the bathroom and dropped the cord into the bath, she said.

    She jumped out of the bath, but her husband tried to push her back in the tub, Mary Dahlby said. She got free and ran out of the bathroom.

    Her husband, who also was convicted of intimidation of a victim, was scheduled for sentencing Dec. 10.
