Joshua Mock of Maytown (Floyd County) admitted that, on Thanksgiving morning of last year, he shot and killed his wife, Linda, but Mock claimed he shot her in self defense. Police told a different story. They said evidence and a witness showed he intentionally shot his 28 year old wife in the neck during a fight. Mock was originally charged with murder, but he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of reckless homicide and was sentenced to five years in prison, but that sentence has been probated. Mock could soon be released.
