A married woman in Texas was with her lover in his pick up truck in her family driveway when her husband came home and saw them together. She cried “RAPE” and he fired his gun at the pickup as her lover (remember, he thought the guy was a rapist) drove away.
After the smoke cleared, the prosecution charged the woman with involuntary manslaughter.
From CNN:
