Barbara Sheehan Shoots Cross-Dressing Husband Retired NYPD Sgt. Raymond Sheehan to Death

New York's Finest just can't stay out of the news. Barbara Sheehan shot her husband, retired NYPD Sgt. Raymond Sheehan and her lawyer said that he was a "self-loathing" sexual deviant who liked transvestite hookers and wearing lingerie. According to the NY Daily News, Barbara Sheehan, admitted pumping him full of bullets from his guns in their Howard Beach, Queens, home Feb. 18, was a "very sick man."

"Here was a person engaged in self-loathing, remorse and an Irish sense of guilt," Michael Dowd, her lawyer said of the 49-year-old cop's alleged dalliances with "shemales.""There's no question that his violence preceded any of his out-of-the-mainstream sexual activities. But these activities seem to have exacerbated to some degree what was going on. They seemed to increase and send him into a rage."

Dowd said he has "significant evidence" of Sheehan's dark side - including the skimpy lingerie set he forced his wife to watch him wear and the address of a transvestite brothel near Albany that was found in the GPS in his car. A private investigator found the transvestite whom Sheehan visited upstate, shortly after pushing his wife out of the car and disappearing from a football game they were supposed to attend, Dowd said. Dowd said he also knows of e-mails between the 20-year-veteran police officer - who retired in 2002 - and his transvestite consorts. Source: NY Daily News

Okay. So the man is a scumbag, but what gave her the right to shoot him to death? Barbara Sheehan, 46, faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted. The school secretary and mother of two used her husband's guns - a Glock and a .35-caliber pistol - to pump 11 rounds at his back. I don't know what was her breaking point, but there is no justification for shooting him to death.
