Why was William S Burroughs not convicted of murder for the shooting his wife?

∙ 15y ago
The shooting of Joan Volmer Burroughs in 1956(?) in Mexico City was considered accidental, although the case was never formally closed. Most witnesses (the shooting happened in a cantina) agreed with William Burroughs that they were actually playing "William Tell" and he was trying to do a trick shot. The authorities in Mexico City were therefore in a bind in making their case against the writer. It was agreed that that Mr. Burroughs should leave the country forthwith and not return. It was then that Burroughs made a quick exit of Mexico and headed for the International Zone of Tangiers, now in Morroco.

How did Joan Burroughs die?
Joan Vollmer Burroughs was shot through the forehead in a cantina in Mexico City by her husband and author William S Burroughs. The couple were playing "William Tell", a trick they had done previously with better results. Needless to say Burroughs missed the apple that was balanced on his wife's head. The authorites, while wishing to charge the writer with murder, realised that they would have a difficult case giving Burroughs time to flee the country to the sanctuary of Tangiers.
