An Illinois man, Robert Lyons, 39, has been convicted of the first degree murder of his mother which took place after he got into a dispute with her over tickets to an Avril Lavigne concert in March of 2008.
His mother Linda Bolek refused to ask her friend to see if Lyons could get skybox tickets to see Avril. Lyons twice slammed Bolek across the head with a cognac bottle, then stabbed her nine times in the back after she fell to the kitchen floor — an attack so violent the knife blade snapped off in her body, prosecutors told jurors hearing the case. Another knife he used in the slaying bent because he struck the 5-foot-2 Bolek so powerfully, prosecutors said.
Afterward, Lyons threw Drano and other household cleaning chemicals on her body "to humiliate her," then went shopping, Asst. State’s Atty. Joe Lindt said. Lyons was arrested later that night at a Hooters restaurant in Schaumburg.
His defense attorneys argued that his mother threatened him with the knife and he killed her unintentionally.
He faces up to life in prison.
Thanks for the report to Rock NYC and Fox News.

Oh my god, as horrible as this incident is, that is hilarious. I wonder how Avril Lavigene feels? I'm not saying put blame on her or anything, that would be stupid. But can you just imagine her casually reading the newspaper and seeing that?
and this is terrible. but i did LOL when the article went from explaining the brutality of the crime and then all of sudden said "and then he went shopping" LOL. and i LOL'd when it said he was arrested at hooters. and THEN...i LOL'd and facepalmed at the defense's claims. that dude needs to get new lawyers if thats their arguement, what jury is gonna buy that? "oh, my mom threatened to kill me with a knife and i accidently killed her with 2 different knives and one of them broke cause i stabbed her so hard and the other one bent for the same reason. then i threw cleaning products on her.....accidentally of course. then i went shopping and to hooters \:D/ "
seems like a legitament claim LOL.
If I was depressed that my mother had died I would need some cheering up so I can understand him being at Hooters
you raise very valid points :-B
all of which i would completely understand
