This is pretty horrifying. An ex-Marine was convicted of torturing and killing his wife:
Prosecutors contended that on Nov. 30, 2004, Speights assembled a series of torture and restraint devices, including chains, ankle cuffs, plastic ties, mace and a 300,000-volt stun gun at the Irvine apartment the couple shared. He then chained Zill to the bed, tortured her with the stun gun and strangled her with a plastic tie, prosecutors said.
