COLUMBUS, Kan. (AP) - A rural Columbus man has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of his wife.
A Cherokee County jury on Thursday found 46-year-old Robert Jarman guilty in the Aug. 22, 2007, death of Suzanne Jarman.
Law enforcement officers found Suzanne Jarman dead from a shotgun wound at the couple's home outside Columbus. Jarman, who did not testify at his trial, told investigators that he was handing his wife a shotgun while cleaning out a gun safe when it discharged and hit her.
Sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 15.
Jarman's attorney, Sam Marsh, says he will appeal and seek a new trial.

I'm having a hard time understanding the purpose of this website/blog. To bring to life "intimate" relationships ending badly? Try considering the people that were actually intimately involved-this case in particular. Don't assume bc you copy&paste things from news sites people will take you seriously- I'm not trying to be rude, but as Robert and Suzy's DAUGHTER (Carly) I don't appreciate seeing things like this all over the internet. There were other people involved, friends, family, and most importantly my brother-who celebrated his birthday the same day- do any of you take the time to realize how public you make our lives?!
So do not sit here and act like this had made a victim "of us all"- All this is doing is prolonging our agony/suffering by seeing things like this everywhere we turn.
This was a tragic day and a tragic accident as far as the people who it matter to are concerned. Of course my brother and I miss our mother everyday, some (like right now [thanks]) harder than others. But we don't fault our dad, regardless of a verdict a group of young, irresponsible and impatient jury members made. I realize you're all entitled to your opinions, but please think twice before opening the real victims' old wounds-Carly
