Although I believe Uriah was driven to this by Tara.{ I know her VERY well and she is a very rotten person} I believe Uriah needs alot of help with his anger issues. Not one year ago he beat a kitten to death. Both of these " lost temper"acts happen infront of Taras children and yet there have not been any charges of child endangerment! Why? Her 4 year old son still talks about " the day Uriah killed the baby cat" ..This "MAN" needs more than to be sent to jail..he needs some real help!!!
