Wife Killers - Darren Roy Mack
Saturday, December 20th, 2008
He didn’t appreciate the judge’s ruling that he would have to pay $10,000 in monthly spousal support payments to his ex-wife as part of their divorce settlement, so on June 12, 2006, Darren Mack stabbed his estranged wife Charla Mack to death. He then went after Nevada Family Court Judge, Chuck Weller, the judge who had ordered him to pay the spousal support, and attempted to shoot him dead.
Darren Mack is currently serving out a life with the possibility of parole after 20 years sentence for killing his wife, and a 40 years with the possibility of parole after 16 years for trying to kill the judge. He’ll be in prison for at least 36 years before he becomes eligible for parole and even then, parole is not guaranteed.
If you’re getting divorced and thinking about killing your wife to avoid having to pay spousal support, ask yourself if it will be worth it to to spend 36 years in jail just to avoid having to make monthly spousal support payments.
