Men get probation for shooting friend per his request

Talk about it

Two Milwaukee-area men will be on probation after they engaged in what the prosecutor calls “the most phenomenally stupid” thing he’s seen.

Apparently, 20 year old Jordan Cardella wanted his friend, 20 year old Anthony Woodall, to shoot him. Cardella thought that would get him some sympathy from his ex-girlfriend.

Cardella said he didn’t want to shoot himself because he’s a convicted felon and felons can handle firearms. Woodall didn’t want to do it either, so he asked a third man to do it.

Michael Wezyk shot Cardella in the arm at a South Milwaukee park last winter. Cardella was in trouble for lying to police, but that charge was dismissed. Woodall and Wezyk are on probation and have to do 100 hours of community service.
