    This whole opening defense is a “story line. . . . A bad one at that!!!!!

      Ugh... I agree . No matter how sweet & quaint her story line is here, the bottom line WIFE had a million dollars in life insurance policies on her husband of 28 years . It's doubly painful hearing the history of their life together . Nancy planned the all the gun things & she planned & timed it, to go shoot her "beloved husband" in the back in cold blooded murder at his work place . There's a special place in hell for people like this Nancy.

    I hope the prosecution proves the obvious and that if there is a death penalty in this state it will apply.

    So far prosecutor is doing a terrible job. And the way they have this horrible murdurer sitting so close to witnesses is disturbing, for the witnesses! They might as well force witnesses sit on the defendants lap.

    Wow defense opening, right out of the mouth of a story writer sounds like a "Fantasy Novel" , I guess a jury that will get instruction will throw out all the defense opening knowing it's all speculation..

      Opening statements are not evidence. The judge has already explained to the jury which parts of the trial proceeding are evidence and which are not.

    “How to Murder Your Husband by Nancy Brophy
    NOV 4
    Posted by SeeJanePublish
    As a romantic suspense writer, I spend a lot of time thinking about murder and, consequently, about police procedure. After all, if the murder is supposed to set me free, I certainly don’t want to spend any time in jail. And let me say clearly for the record, I don’t like jumpsuits and orange isn’t my color.
    Motives:
    1) Financial (this is big): Divorce is expensive, and do you really want to split your possessions? Or if you married for money, aren’t you entitled to all of it? The draw back is the police aren’t stupid. They are looking at you first. So you have to be organized, ruthless and very clever. Husbands have disappeared from cruise ships before. Why not yours?
    girl with knife2) Lying, cheating bastard (deception of any sort): This is a crime of passion. In anger, you bash his head in or stab him with a kitchen knife. Most of the time there is a trail that leads directly to you. Each type of murder leaves clues. A crime of passion does not look like a stranger was involved. And who is left to clean the blood from your carpeting?
    3) Fell in love with someone else (usually financial is also involved here): Let’s say your Church frowns on divorce. You need to be a widow so you won’t fall out of favor with your religion. At this point, I should mention that it helps if you aren’t too burdened by the 10 commandments.
    4) Abuser: This one is tough. Anybody can claim abuse. What is abuse? To a teenager, it might look different than to a spouse. As a motivation, this reason usually comes up after you’ve been arrested. Not a lot of abused wives dial 911 upon burning down the house with their husband in it.
    5) It’s your profession: Now we’re talking. You already possess both skill and knowledge. You have the moral ambiguity necessary to carry it off. Quick hit and you fade from the scene. Get your payment upfront from someone else, because life insurance probably won’t send a check.
    Options to consider:
    Guns - loud, messy, require some skill. If it takes 10 shots for the sucker to die, either you have terrible aim or he’s on drugs.
    Knives - really personal and close up. Blood everywhere. Eww.
    Garrote - how much upper body strength does it require to strangle a person?
    Random heavy piece of equipment - usually this involves hitting someone hard with the baseball bat or the pipe wrench you just happen to have in your hand.
    Poison - considered a woman’s weapon. Arsenic is easy to obtain, worse, easy to trace. It takes a month or two to kill someone. Plus, they are sick the entire time. Who wants to hang out with a sick husband? Knowledge of pharmaceuticals would be handy. Availability would be even better. A word of caution, watch out for poisons found in nature. They are not a sure thing. Too little? Too much? Your mother always told you to marry a doctor. Now you know why.
    Hiring a hit man - Do you know a hit man? Neither do I. And an amazing number of hit men rat you out to the police. Orjail blackmail you later.
    Hiring a lover - Never a good idea. The husband dies, and the wife gets the money. The lover doesn’t always win in this scenario. Sometimes he, too, finds himself facing a loaded gun.
    I find it is easier to wish people dead than to actually kill them. I don’t want to worry about blood and brains splattered on my walls. And really, I’m not good at remembering lies. But the thing I know about murder is that every one of us have it in him/her when pushed far enough.
    What constitutes a good romantic suspense is the whys? What happened that forced a person into this situation? How will they justify this action? (By the way, he needed killing is not a legal defense.) Can they keep a secret? A confidence whispered in the dark is no longer secret.
    What if killing didn’t produce the right results? Would they do it again? Could they do it again? What if they liked it?
    Whoa, there’s an idea for a new story.”
