Nevada man gets probation for pushing his wife over a cliff, tells judge he was not at fault
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A 63-year-old North Las Vegas man was sentenced to five years on probation after admitting he pushed his wife off a 20-foot cliff into Lake Mohave.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Glenn Duane Moss initially faced felony attempted murder and other charges, but pleaded guilty in August to a misdemeanor assault charge in U.S. District Court.
The case was handled in federal court because the Colorado River reservoir is part of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
Magistrate Judge Robert Johnston told Assistant Federal Public Defender Shari Kaufman that he didn't believe the shove in November 2010 was "a recreational push."
Court records say a personal watercraft operator pulled Lucia Moss from the water and took her away from the area to call 911.
