LOS ANGELES -- Three months after Angelina and Frank Rodriguez got married, the Montebello, Calif., woman took out a $250,000 life-insurance policy on her husband and began trying to kill him.

First, authorities said, she fed him poisonous oleander plants, sending him to the hospital with nausea and an upset stomach. Then, she allegedly loosened the gas cap on the clothes dryer at their home before leaving to visit a friend. Finally, Rodriguez spiked her husband's Gatorade with shots of green antifreeze.

I've heard of women marrying men for their money, but marrying them and KILLING them for money?

I wonder what Anna Nicole Smith would have to say. "Congratulations!"

erm, after so many attempts at killing him, weren't there any suspicions?

[Samildanach]

Yeah thats getting pretty mercenary....but thats Americans for you...they love their money.

I can't read the article, so I have a question which is probably already answered in it.

Did he survive?

"Did he survive?"

I think it tells you in the headline. Why didn't she just shoot him and then claim to be a battered wife? Her odds of getting away with it would have been a lot better.
