"MY HUBBY'S IN JAIL!": Not Jerry Springer- Israel! Yigal Amir, the young Israeli who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, is planning to marry, but not if Israeli authorities have anything to say about it.
A disturbed woman named Larisa Trimbobler, a Russian immigrant who has been visiting Rabin in prison for several years, apparently decided that spending the rest of her life with a murderer who will be imprisoned for the rest of his life was an ay-okay idea. But prison officials are steadfast in their opposition to the marriage. Amir's lawyers say the prevention of the wedding is "a violation of his basic rights"- yea asshole, so is murder.
The Sondheim musical "Assassins" is being revived on Broadway this year- will Amir get his own segment?
Allison Kaplan Sommer has more.
