Yeah it was murder

Remember the amazing news that newlywed James Woodson died from a bullet that came out of the air and struck him in the back while he gardened in Sherman Oaks? Didn't happen. Turns out he was shot by a neighbor, a 76-year-old former cop despondent about terminal lung cancer. He apparently thought that Woodson had been spying on him. Five days later, Daniel Lisuk killed himself. Police made a ballistics match after Lisuk's relatives found the .38 Smith and Wesson in his apartment.
