Out of all the accidental shootings I've read about this one takes the cake. It was on Reddit the other day..

A Laywer defending a man on murder, accidentally shot and killed himself while trying to show how the victim might of accidentally shot and killed himself. As result the accused was let free.

Clement Vallandigham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vallandigham died in 1871 in Lebanon, Ohio, at the age of 50, after accidentally shooting himself in the abdomen with a pistol. He was representing a defendant in a murder case for killing a man in a barroom brawl at the Golden Lamb Inn. Vallandigham attempted to prove the victim, Tom Myers, had in fact accidentally shot himself while drawing his pistol from a pocket while rising from a kneeling position. As Vallandigham conferred with fellow defense attorneys in his hotel room at the Golden Lamb, he showed them how he would demonstrate this to the jury.

Selecting a pistol he believed to be unloaded, he put it in his pocket and enacted the events as they might have happened, snagging the loaded gun on his clothing and unintentionally causing it to discharge into his belly. Although he was fatally wounded, Vallandigham's demonstration proved his point, and the defendant, Thomas McGehan, was acquitted and released from custody (to be shot to death four years later in his saloon). Surgeons probed for the pistol ball, thought to have lodged in the vicinity of his bladder, but were unable to locate it, and Vallandigham died the next day of peritonitis. His last words expressed his faith in "that good old Presbyterian doctrine of predestination".[64] Survived by his wife, Louisa Anna (McMahon) Vallandigham, and his son Charles Vallandigham, he was buried in Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio.

Too bad she didn't have a gun also. They could have had an accidental 4am bedroom shootout.

Ever notice this shit is always happening down south?

How does one accidentally shoot twice with the second shot hitting your sister ... err I mean wife..

[Sunny Day]

A friend of mine died after her husband beat the fuck out of her face. Broken jaw, black eyes. Then used a single action .22 to shoot her three times. In fear for her life and her son, she made a dying declaration that it was "an accident" on the way to the hospital.
Bastard skated on the charges.

Skated? It doesn't take a detective to know that you can't accidentally shoot someone three times with a single action rifle. Must be some shitty police work.

I live in a city/county where Chicago politicians come to learn how to be crooked. A little money can buy you anything. ANYTHING.

Sounds like stupidity on the part of the cops, doctors and prosecutor.
3 shots is not an accident.

Cops don't need the cooperation of the victim to bring a case of domestic abuse these days.
So nothing the female said mattered to anyone who knew their job.

They had to bury him 18ft in the ground - 'cuz deep down lawyers are good people.

When I first saw this I figured the cop was dirty. But then his claim of killing while sleeping, I thought there might be some truth.
I know it sounds stupid, but I worked with a girl who did sleep walking. Her husband found her next to their pool, in deep snow "swimming."
My girlfriend doesn't sleep walk, she sleep eats. We go to bed with a clean kitchen and wake up to a mess. I've watched her. She'll eat with her eyes totally closed. I can't figure out how she finds the food in front of her. Twice, while living with her sister she set the kitchen on fire.
When she wakes in the morning she has no clue what happened overnight.
