We had a guy who bludgeoned his wife to death with a hammer who claimed she fell off a ladder.  Coroner said there were several distinct wounds on the head.  The husband claimed that when she fell off the ladder she hit her head several times on the rungs on the way down and thrashed around on the floor hitting her head a few more times.  Jury found him not guilty.
