Man's defense: he accidently fell and killed roommate!!

Neils C. Larsen III is on trial in Largo for killing his roommate, Barbara Hebert.

His defense: he pushed her to the floor, then accidentally fell on her, after she hit him with her cane during an argument in the Dunedin home they shared, reports the St. Petersburg Times.

But prosecutors say Hebert's injuries — 13 fractured ribs and a fractured sternum — aren't consistent with Larsen's version of events.

I feel sorry for Barbara Hebert's death, but she was not a good person at all," Hebert, 57, told the jury.

A deputy moves Neils Larsen to the witness stand Wednesday. Larsen said he didn’t report his roommate’s death because he “was scared to death.”
