I wonder if he'll say he's like Nelson Mandela

 Andrew Wilhoite, 41, an exemplary citizen from out of Lebanon, Boone County, Indiana, is so public-spirited that he ran for, and won, a primary election for a seat on his township board.

You can't beat a prison mugshot.

His candidacy has been made all the more noteworthy in that last week, he was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter for killing his wife by striking her with a flowerpot days after she filed for divorce in 2022.

She had just recently finished chemotherapy treatment for cancer.

Police looked his way when 41-year-old Elizabeth “Nikki” Wilhoite did not come to work one day, and Andrew admitted to them he killed her during an argument, then dumped her body in a creek near her home.

Meanwhile, the wheel of politics continued apace in Indiana, and out of 276 total votes for Republicans,  Andrew received 60 of them. 

Only three candidates were in the running for three slots on the Clinton Township Board.  

Andrew was a lock to get on the board, and now, when he is sentenced on June 4, he'll find out that he's locked up for 10 to 30 years in the stony lonesome.

No word on whether he will be sworn in to the board when he's released. 

I'm sure it was a witch hunt.
