On this day in 1982, Shirley Allen was arrested for poisoning her husband. Lloyd Allen had complained of a strange taste in his beverages, but believed Shirley when she told him that it was an iron supplement for his health.

After a short four-day trial, Shirley Allen was sentenced to life in prison in 1983. Today we have the song I'm Not Drinking by ED'S REDEEMING QUALITIES.
