October 19, 2016, 8 years ago
According to Orange County Register, minutes before he shot and killed his live-in girlfriend, a prosecutor said, a Costa Mesa man was drunk and listening to the Guns N’ Roses song “Used To Love Her” with the lyrics: “I used to love her, but I had to kill her.”
Trial began Wednesday in Orange County Superior Court for Thomas Michael Wilhelm, 52, who is accused of shooting his girlfriend, 45-year-old Christine Marie Murray, in 2012 after their relationship and business partnership soured.
Prosecutors accuse Wilhelm of plotting to kill Murray as revenge for taking over his long-time sprinkler business, while the defense says Wilhelm suffered from mental-health issues and was clouded by alcohol and extreme emotion over the loss of his business.
He was charged with first-degree murder and faces 50 years to life in prison. Jurors must decided what his mental state was at the time of the shooting.

"Used To Love Her" is found on Guns N' Roses 1988 EP and on the cover it states clearly that the song is "a joke, nothing more. Actually, it's pretty self exoplanatory if you ask me!"
