Consider This a Divorce

Mary Stiles says her husband, Grady, 55, a sideshow performer who went by the name “Lobster Boy” because of a genetic deformity which left him with ...well... lobster-claw-like hands, beat her and their children so severely that she had no other choice but to hire the next-door neighbor to shoot him. Since Stiles had been convicted for the 1978 murder of one of his daughter’s boyfriends and then released on probation, she believed him when he said he would kill her if she filed for divorce. The neighbor was convicted of murder and conspiracy, and sentenced to 27 years in prison. (AP) ...At 55, shouldn’t he have been called “Lobster Man”?
