Texas man kills friend after Jerry Springer related argument

A jury in Nacogdoches, Texas, convicted Jerry Don Hartless in January of killing his former best friend, Billy Bob Wallace, during a group drinking bout one night along the Angelina River. According to testimony, Hartless believed that Wallace had stolen his boat motor but couldn't prove it. Then, that night, the group discussed a recent Jerry Springer show featuring a black man claiming to be a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and the alcohol-fueled Hartless insinuated that Wallace's girlfriend, who was there, craved sex with black men. (All the drinking group were white.) When Wallace objected, Hartless shot him. A witness to the shooting was Wallace's adult son, Wild Bill Wallace (which is his actual birth name).

Unless there are two "Jerry Don Hartlesses," I think he's probably mentioned on this site:

He wanted to honor Bravehart himself :)

LOL.

So let me get this right. . . Billy Bob was shot by a Hartless man for objecting to Hartless insinuating that his girlfriend (no doubt named Wanda Sue or the like) was fond of gentlemen of a darker hue. Is that right?
