Berlin - An obese man successfully reduced his original five-year sentence for fatally squashing his wife to only a warning for causing bodily hurt due to negligence.
In a turn of events, the court also ruled that the dead woman was most responsible for her own death, as she did not visit a doctor despite coughing blood for a few days.
The man, a 52-ear-old bus driver who weighs 130 kilograms toppled and fell onto his wife during a scuffle in April 2006. The scuffle started after his wife poured beer over his laptop due to differences over music.
Six weeks later, the 46-year-old woman who was less than half her husband's wieght, died from chest injuries and an autopsy found she had 18 broken ribs and several litres of fluid in one of her lungs.
