Jordan Cardella Has Himself Shot To Win Sympathy From His Ex

Jordan Cardella wanted to win back his girlfriend. So, to gain her sympathy, he hatched a plan to have a friend shoot him in the back.

Surprise, surprise ... his plan backfired.

In what Wisconsin prosecutors called "the most phenomenally stupid" case they had ever seen, two Wisconsin men pleaded guilty to felony weapons charges, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

According to the complaint, last January Cardella asked his friend Anthony Woodall to "shoot him in the back three times," but Woodall refused. Instead, he referred Cardella to Michael Wezykl, who agreed to carry out the bizarre hit in exchange for money or pills.

Cardella would have shot himself, but being a convicted felon, he didn't want to touch a gun, according to CBS.

After retrieving the firearm from Wezyk's home, the trio made their way to a nearby park. The complaint says that, "Wezyk then shot Cardella in the arm, and Cardella immediately slumped over. He asked to be shot again, but Wezyk stated, 'I'm done.'"

So Cardella never did receive the three wounds he thought would be necessary to find pity from his former girlfriend.

"Sorry to bring something so stupid into your courtroom," Wezyk later told Circuit Judge Rebecca Dallet, according to the Journal Sentinel.

Wezyk, 24, and Woodall, 20, must each serve two years probation and 100 hours of community service.

The good news for Cardella is that the charges against him were dropped, so he'll only have to live with a shameful scar story.

The bad news? His ex never visited him.

She felt sorry enough to go out with him the first time, so he decided to see if it would work again?

I guess flowers can work up to a point.

This reminds me of the story in the Bible where David kills 200 Philistines for their foreskins and gives them to Saul to prove his devotion to Michal.

The thing's we do for love Remix

the things we do for love

Like getting shot in the arm then the back.
When there’s nowhere to go (exepct for the ER)
And you’re feeling like a part of you is dying
And you’re looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you’re gonna break up
Then she says shedoes not want to up
Because he is such a idiot

And the ex girl friend go's on to say , We bumped into one another at McCdonalds and he sat with me for the longest 9 minuets of my life . He is a stalker not a boy friend . I loaned Wezyk my Desert hawk pistol to shoot him three times in the back , But thay chickend out . It would have taken one shot with that bad boy . Oh the reason I don't date him is he is a cry baby and really stupid .

This idiot should have shot himself in the brain so his girlfriend would really feel sorry for him and bring him flowers at his funeral.

"Cardella would have shot himself, but being a convicted felon, he didn't want to touch a gun, according to CBS." See, he's not stupid!
