Hans Florian, 79, had wheeled his 62-year-old wife Johanna from her room in a Hollywood hospital into a nearby stairwell and shot her in the brain. The woman, who also suffered from Alzheimer's disease, had screamed continually, stopping only when she was heavily sedated. In San Antonio three years ago, Woodrow Wilson Collums, 69, got ten years' probation after pleading guilty in the shooting death of his 72-year-old brother, who lay helpless...
