Buford Pusser Killed His Wife

Damn. Seems to me divorce would have been a lot easier than killing her then shooting himself in the face to cover it up.

‘Walking Tall’ sheriff would have ‘more likely than not’ been charged in wife’s murder

The district attorney said that if Sheriff Buford Pusser was still alive, he would have "more likely than not" been indicted in his wife's murder.

The original movie was pretty good

Never heard the real life story of this guy

If I'm remembering correctly, he was always a piece of shit. I grew up in East Tennessee, but knew folks from all over the state and a few of them had family in that area during his time. None of them were fans of his. They took a bunch of "creative liberties" with his story and the movie.

Bastard and bully by most accounts

While I do not condone him killing his wife, I have to admit that shooting himself in the face multiple times and almost blowing off his jaw to cover it up was hardcore.

Did they make him into the hero for the movie? I haven't seen either one.
