There was no weapons throughout the house but one unlucky woman got knocked unconscious with a pineapple, based on police reports.  Authorities said a 42-year-old Ann Arbor, Michigan man apparently struck his wife unconscious with a pineapple during a battle at home.  Officers responded based on reports to the University of Michigan Hospital on Friday night after staff were notified in regards to the injury to a woman, 32-years-old.  No-one knows exactly when the woman was hit or what prompted the fight. 

Police said the girl did not cooperate beyond providing them with basic information.  Police say they found evidence of a battle at home. Any office of the Washtenaw County prosecutor was asked to consider the request of the police for an arrest warrant on the man.  Police suspect that during a domestic violence incident the man grabbed the pineapple and hit his wife in the head thereby knocking her unconscious, based on police reports. Since the woman refused to let her husband be locked up for the crime maybe she won't allow pineapples anymore into her home.

Jim Willett remembers the night of Dec. 6, 1982, when he was assigned to guard a mortuary van that had arrived at the death house at the Huntsville prison.

“I remember thinking: We’re really going to do this. This is really going to happen,” says Willett, who was a captain for the Texas Department of Corrections.

Associated Press reports that when the van pulled away early the next morning, it carried to a nearby funeral home the body of convicted killer Charlie Brooks, who had just become the first Texas prisoner executed since a Supreme Court ruling six years earlier allowed the death penalty to resume in the United States.

What was unusual then has become rote. On Wednesday, barring a reprieve, Kimberly McCarthy will become the 500th convicted killer in Texas to receive a lethal injection.
