FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — The Kentucky Supreme Court will wade into a dispute between a husband and wife. Eighty-eight-year-old Elmer Riehle wants to divorce his wife Carolyn, saying the marriage is "irretrievably broken." But Carolyn Riehle is more than a wife, she's been her husband's guardian since a jury ruled in 2008 that her husband was mentally incompetent, despite his objections. Elmer Riehle says he's a prisoner in his own home with his wife as his court-appointed warden. The court will hear arguments in the case today.
