We name it "Hail Mary".

(9,356 posts)The Effingham County jury deliberated about six hours Thursday before finding 42-year-old Craig Heidt guilty of malice murder and nine other counts, including a charge of aggravated battery for shooting his mother in the face.
Off-topic? Nah. Several true-crime shows have featured this case. Friends and neighbors of the Heidts were puzzled by the horrible events, since they were universally known as "a fine, church-going Xian family."
