Developing News- Building Collapses in New York

Sounds like a lot of doctors in their divorces. Doctors' wives have this thing.. this sense of entitlement that just blows my mind every time. She was probably unemployed, and simply had to be dressed in the newest designer clothing, etc.

Guess she killed her golden goose.

Actually, he killed himself. Your scenario doesn't seem to apply in this case. This guy was nuts. According to the NY Times:

"The divorce papers described a bizarre, markedly unhappy home life. Dr. Bartha put up “swastika-adorned articles” around the house, according to a court decision, “intentionally traumatizing” her because she is of Jewish descent and was born in “Nazi-occupied” Holland. Dr. Bartha became enraged when she took them down, according to the papers, which also said he ignored his wife as she was treated for breast cancer."

Like blowing up a $5 million townhouse wasn't an indication, lol.

I think you're in law school now. You might be interested in reading the New York appellate court's 2005 decision in the Bartha divorce.
