Massachusetts Dentist Found Not Guilty Of Causing Wife's Death

MASSACHUSETTS, MA — A Princeton man has been found not guilty on charges of manslaughter connected to his wife's death in 2011.

Roger Desilets, Jr., a dentist practicing in Massachusetts, was on trial on the killing of his wife, Kathleen Desilets, for pushing her out of a window in their home, reports NBC Boston.

The prosecution and defense agreed that the couple was on rocky terms, but the defense maintained that Kathleen had fallen out of the window. The couple had been married for 44 years, but had been arguing because of a 20-year-affair that Roger confirmed, reports The Worcester Telegram and Gazette.
