Former Dem congressional candidate pleads guilty to manslaughter

Kellie Lynn Collins, 31, may be the only Democrat who supports the ownership of firearms. Unfortunately, she used such a device to shoot and kill her husband, Curt Cain, 41, after just one week into their marriage.

The former Georgia Democratic congressional hopeful pleaded guilty on Thursday to voluntary manslaughter in the 2018 death of her husband, according to reports.

Collins was facing charges in the shooting death of her husband, whose body was found in his home in Aiken, S.C., last August. Investigators determined he’d been shot in the back and died from loss of blood.

Collins and Cain had only been married for one week before his death. The Augusta Chronicle reported that Collins had been made the beneficiary of Cain’s insurance less than a month before he was killed. This may have been the motive or the fact that he refused to give up the remote when "The View" was airing.

The McDuffie County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia arrested Collins on Aug. 8, 2018, and extradited her to Aiken five days later, the Aiken Standard reported.

Collins had run as a Democrat to represent Georgia’s 10th Congressional District but dropped out before the 2018 election. Cain was serving as the treasurer of her campaign, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Collins initially rejected the plea deal but accepted after speaking with her lawyers, The Chronicle reported. A charge of grand larceny was dropped as part of the deal, the report said.

Too bad for Collins this didn't happen in California. She would be out of prison before the 2020 election, and if the Democrats could have their way, she'd be able to vote for them.
