DISSENTING OPINION BY

Judge LEADBETTER.

In the middle of the night, a young man stabbed his mother with a butcher knife while she lay sleeping in her own bed, in her own home. I believe it defies logic to call this a work related injury. Therefore, I would affirm the Board and so must respectfully dissent.
