shareAnd Kelly would still have been charged with something for killing him, even if he was a child molester. It could hardly be called self-defense. (Telephone bases were a lot heavier back then, but she must have packed a hell of a wallop to kill him with the plastic receiver.)

I ran across an old phone a few years ago and was shocked at how heavy the handset was. I remember wondering how people could have long conversations, as many teen-aged girls are shown doing in older movies.
