JUSTICE
Philadelphia Story
</hdr><body>
<p> For ten years, Frances Garfinkle was confined to her bed by
partial blindness, hearing loss and incontinence. Her husband
Harry, 78, a retired Philadelphia wallpaper hanger, endured her
constant nagging. But in January, when Frances complained about
a meal Harry had prepared, the strain became too much:
Garfinkle strangled her with a necktie.
</p>
<p> He pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter. Last week
common pleas court judge Lisa Richette declined to send
Garfinkle to prison, sentencing him to ten years' probation.
"You took care of a very sick woman. It's important that you not
torture yourself. Try to go along enjoying your life,"
admonished Richette. Replied Garfinkle: "Thanks a million, Your
Honor."
