NY man, 90, sentenced in wife’s battering death

A 90-year-old western New York man has been sentenced to 17 1/2 years in prison for battering his wife of nearly 68 years to death with a hammer.

John Bunz stumbled on his way into court in Buffalo on Wednesday and was helped to his chair by deputies. He pleaded guilty in July to first-degree manslaughter.

Bunz had faced a more serious second-degree murder charge, but prosecutors agreed to the plea because of his age.

He admitted hitting 89-year-old Virginia Bunz about 30 times with a hammer after the couple argued in March at the retirement village apartment they shared in the suburb of Amherst.

Bunz was hospitalized briefly after the attack for injuries described as self-inflicted.

Bunz is a retired chemist and technician.

Never too old to get psst off I presume, lol.

  11. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
