Former Penn Basketball Star Matt White Stabbed to Death By Wife Allegedly For Looking at Child Pornography [UPDATE]
Matthew White, the starting center for the 1979 Penn team that reached the Final Four, was stabbed to death by his wife, Maria Rey Garcia-Pellon, while in bed. She had caught him looking at pornography on his computer. [UPDATE: AP is terming it "possibly child pornography.]
She returned to the bedroom and slipped the knives under her side of the bed. She took one of the knives out as her husband was asleep.
She stabbed him in the neck, the records allege.
White awoke and the two struggled briefly before he collapsed of his wounds.
“I’m dying, I’m dying,” he said, according to the court filing.
Garcia-Pellon then changed her clothes and left the house. She went to the home of a friend and told her White had allegedly been viewing pornography on a computer and she killed him, the records state.
The friend called 911.
“I caught him looking at pornography, young girls, I love kids,” Garcia-Pellon told investigators. “I had to do it.”
White was 53 years old and living in Nether Providence, Pennsylvania.

I guess the Penn wasn’t mightier than the sword after all.

Rookie move not clearing that history, brah.

Alternatively:
Judging by her picture here, I think she’ll be able to use the classic legal defense of protecting her house.

If that was my wife I’d be jacking it to Newsweek and Family Circus…anything.

Somebody better tell Maria that defense didn’t work for Sandusky either.

So he was looking at young girls who were of age or actual underage young girls? If it’s the later then good for her.
Btw, no Champions League breakdown for the knockout stages Duffy?
February 12th, 2013 at 2:22 PM
Ah, the classic Ray Murda move.
So the pedo killed the other pedo for being a pedo?

AKA what Arsenal’s defense will do within the first three minutes against Bayern.

I thought you guys knew Fink? He does the right rail stuff on the front page. Big sports fan.
I will see if he wants to comment here.
Also, he will be doing these ACC posts, probably one every day for a week. If you hate dunks … well, sorry.

will this bring the Ray Lewis defense into action then?
February 12th, 2013 at 2:24 PM
Seems like a well balanced lady.
February 12th, 2013 at 2:24 PM
Fink is a really unfortunate last name. Means someone in your family’s past was a narc.

No clue and I pride myself on being up to date on things here.

Admittedly I’ve got nothing there, damnit.
But god willing there will be no English teams left after this round.

I’m not buying the child porn thing just yet. I’m sure Darrell’s with me…
February 12th, 2013 at 2:35 PM
So Fink has graduated from the BigLeadSports byline? Why would we know that?
February 12th, 2013 at 2:36 PM
Enjoy your thrashing at the hands of Bayern. That 16th place ribbon will look nice in Wegner’s trophy case. Still a ways to catch up to Liverpool.

Great.
Now the media will start pushing their stupid knife control agenda again.
February 12th, 2013 at 2:45 PM
United to score first at the Bernabeu, then promptly concede 6. Arsenal start well at home to Bayern, score comical own goal, lose 12-0 on aggregate. The Schalke-Galatasaray winner will draw the Porto-Malaga winner in the next round. Brazil continues historical dominance over Germany as Shakthar upsets Dortmund. Malaga and PSG both fix their matches and go through easily.

Before she was arrested, local police posted this picture or her as tracked her location…

While the difference in age between him and what he was looking at would probably qualify as the “he’s old enough to be their father” argument, I’m wondering if they weren’t really “kids”.

Good job.

If you hate dunks … well, sorry.
We’re not allowed to use the word ‘hate’ in our house.
I strongly dislike dunks.
Your apology is not accepted.

Damn…was just on the mobile site through the kindle. WTF?
Is there any way around it defaulting to mobile?
February 12th, 2013 at 3:04 PM
Is there any way around it defaulting to mobile?
Yes. If you swipe the page over to the right you should see a menu bar open up and at the top of that you will see ‘Desktop Version’.
I too will be hanging out in the desktop version until the mobile site quirks are fixed. And there’s commenting.

Falling back on the past because the present sucks. One of sports’ fans favorite pastimes.
February 12th, 2013 at 3:13 PM
It’s offensive to quote a classic Coen Brothers movie?
February 12th, 2013 at 3:29 PM
Better than falling back on “we play the right way.”
