Brass Necked Snipe Awards #1

This is the first in I hope a series of awards offered by your good Guttersnipe for the sheer unadulterated nerve of some people.

Whether you like the compensation culture or not... you have to respect effort.

BBC:

A woman who killed her retired police officer husband has had her legal battle for a widow's pension dismissed by the Court of Appeal.
Carol Glover stabbed husband Michael in the heart with a kitchen knife at their Stoke-on-Trent home on Boxing Day 1998.
Glover, then 48, who admitted manslaughter, was jailed for two years at Birmingham Crown Court in May 1999.
She was told she would not be granted a widow's pension, but had challenged the decision in the High Court.

You've got to admit... this takes some bollocks!
