Haven't cooked a meal in 25yrs. He did laundry He worked 2 jobs all while you done absolutely nothing. Unbelievable
And she looks like George Washington
@@salbonpensiero1704 LOL..🤣
He was a chef #1. He was younger than her #2. She had a job selling Medicare #3. He was obviously a hoarder, great guy, but a hoarder, she did all the finances, because he hadn't a clue (in the end she was also a spender), sounds pretty evenly split to me, 25 years and they seemed very close.
@@sandrabentley8111 #1 she met him taking his culinary class so she knows how to cook too
#2 She was a whopping 4 years older, no significant difference imo
#3 He was a hoarder but she blew all their finances trying to live above their means and did it behind his back so she did a HORRIBLE job handling the finances.
#3 What kind of woman doesn't cook her husband dinner once in 25 years? I'm not saying she should every night but idk like once a year inst too much to expect? She sounds selfish and lazy.
It doesn't sound like an even split to me. He worked 2 jobs, sold vegetables/fruit from his gardens and brought in more income than her the entire 25 years. Sounds like she wasted most of her time writing perverted books about her sexual fantasies. But let me guess "he's a man that's his job!" But when it comes to cooking dinner it's "just because she's a woman she doesn't have to cook that's sexist".
Gee, I'd love a house that only needs cooking and laundry done. I guess my 'vacuuming, bathroom cleaning, dishwashing, wood work scrubbing, grocery shopping, floor scrubbing fairy' wasn't assigned to me. My late husband (I didn't kill him) cooked most of the time and cleaned the bathrooms. I did everything else and worked outside the home too. Trust me, 'absolutely nothing' is not what she did if that's all he did.
I’m not a writer. If I ever decide to take it up, I have learned a few tips from Nancy. The best way to meet your daily word quota, apparently, is to drive aimlessly round the streets in a nightshirt. And if you want to write about a gun, you need to buy three of them.
And remain unencumbered by the weight of a purse. Just put your credit card and phone in your bra🤢🤮
And be sure to artificially lengthen every sentence to an absurd degree by stuffing them with as much pointless filler words as possible.
"I'm not sure why I don't remember getting coffee that morning, and the reason why I'm not sure why I don't remember getting coffee that morning is because I always got coffee every morning, it was my routine, I got coffee every day and it was just something I did. I would say to Dan, well I DID say to Dan, I really like this one certain type of coffee, and as it turned out they serve that coffee at our favorite bed and breakfast in Vashon Island in Washington, which was always closed in the middle of January, and we never stayed there overnight but we ate there all the time and the food was fabulous. But the only way to get there was....I'm sorry, I forgot what the question was."
@@WobblesandBean
Hahaha, perfect parody!!
😂@@debbiejones4935
Drink every time she says bra
This woman is insufferable. The way she says yes drives me crazy. Did the defense attorney really think she was going to come across as likable to the jury?? Her attorneys are so out of touch.
I’m sure they advised her not to take the stand
It appears her lawyers simply went through the hoops of court procedures after they realised she was a narcissistic basket case.
Her lawyers didn’t appear to prepare her for cross, heck they weren’t prepared for direct . I’ve never witnessed such inept lawyers . These 2 women will be famous someday , my idea is they will be showcased in a law class showing what not to do while defending a client .
The fast little "Um hum" is also cringe and beyond annoying
@f.frederickskitty2910 I'm surprised the judge allows that, since the court reporter has to write down everything they say and a buzz of assent is kind of hard to notate. Mmhmm and mm-mm can have opposite meanings after all, and if the court reporter hears it incorrectly, the record is sullied.
So sad, he cooks,tends to chickens, practices lasagna gardening, fetches her favorite cup of coffee every morning, wow he sounds like a wonderful person too me.
Dan sounds like a goddamn Renaissance man! What the hell did he see in this Benjamin Franklin cosplayer?
@@tranquilrabies "Benjamin Franklin cosplayer" 😅🤣
@@tranquilrabies I know. I'll never understand what he saw in that lipless, cackling cow.
omg too funny 😁
He sounds wonderful...passionate about cooking. He was wasted on her.
I hope the only books she has access to while rotting away in prison are her own.
😂😂😂
She would probably love it she loves herself sooo much
She appears completely unaware of how bizarre she is coming across. Like an attendee at a board meeting; chit-chatting waiting for lunch to be delivered. Forget the fact that 'someone' murdered her husband.
SHE UNALIVED him!!
Yasssss!!!!! It’s like this is an interview about HER life before and after Dan was murdered… and it’s like she’s talking about Dan as if he just died peacefully in his sleep! Blows my mind how self centered she can still be when on the stand being accused of his murder, she finds a way to make every question about what she went thru and the tragedy his death CAUSED her to go thru and ignoring the fact that Dan has no life at all now bc of being murdered! She’s so disgusting! And then to act like she and Dan’s mother are the only ones who can grieve or grieved for him!! Omg it’s just sick!! Especially when she knows that she was the one who murdered him!
Yeah she's rather entertaining to watch.
Her incessant cackling is so off-putting. She's on trial for the _murder of her husband,_ and yet she's up there bantering away, having the time of her life! Seriously, Nancy? 🤦🏼♀️
The courtroom is eerily silent when she laughs at her own jokes, too. You can tell everyone there is stunned.
Spot on! 👏👏👏
Bottom line...she is on video driving in the area of his work place at the time he was shot. Who else would have had a motive? There was no robbery of either Dan or the business and no valuable type of food was taken. How convenient for her to develop selective memory when this happened. She's a liar and a murderess. Hope she pays!
I don’t know if you watched the trial through until the end but defence decided to double down on blaming the poor defenceless homeless guy and said in closing statements that apparently after he managed to find Dan in that labyrinth he then decided to casually head to the restaurant and steal some wine and one candle . Because you know - why not . And all in around 6 mins .
@@erinw8787 Precisely what I would steal as a homeless person. Not any food, not the pocket money of the man I had randomly murdered... but a candle. That makes perfect sense.
But the bullets that killed her husband, were not a match for her Glock! Truly there really should be reasonable doubt here. Yes the vehicle on cctv is a big problem for her, but really they both seemed like the perfect, slightly cookie, older couple. I think she loved him a lot and vis versa.
@@sandrabentley8111 Hopefully you’re never on a jury.
@@sandrabentley8111 that's because he was killed with a ghost gun she had hidden and didn't tell the police about until they looked through her bank statements and saw the transaction buying a different slide for the same exact gun. The Glock was just a front gun she owned to throw police off, which she gave to them immediately. They didn't retrieve the hidden ghost gun until later after going through all her totes when she was moving. The bullets did match the second slide she bought for the ghost gun that conveniently disappeared and has never been found. Why would she buy a separate identical slide for a gun that already had a perfectly functional slide? The only logical reason is so she can shoot the gun with one slide, get rid of that slide and replace it with the unused slide to make the gun appear that it had never been fired. The "I was obsessed with gun parts because I was writing one of my perverted books" excuse is so lame and unbelievable. There is NO reasonable doubt whatsoever, her car was literally on camera at the crime scene during the murder and she lied to police and said she was home the entire time. The ridiculous life insurance policies that only make sense if you plan on the person dying soon and the fact she told Dan's mother he was dead before she was even told by police makes her 100% guilty.
2:02:51 ‘I talk to him every day, he is a little quieter than he was’
So she jokes about her husband being dead.
Damn that’s crazy, she’s so cold!
She told another one in the death notification. She told the cops "Dan's not having a good week". Yeah, that's, uh... that's a yikes. 😬
How can she think any of this is funny? She's up there laughing at her own jokes, but the courtroom is *dead silent.* Everyone in there is just as appalled as we are.
I never caught that!
Wow. That crazy red nose. She looks like W. C. Fields. 😮
You’ve never heard of dark humor?
😂...this emoticon has more tears than Nancy does describing approaching the school where she murdered her husband.
I’m even suspicious about the “fire ten years ago” probably another insurance scam
She just LOVES hearing herself talk! They sure indulged her.
Yes. And I think she loved the opportunity to talk about her writing, which - in the real world - nobody could care less about.
Ugh, seriously. Her entire testimony took two full days! She talked for over six hours. *_Six. Hours._*
i notice that the prosecutor isn't objecting to all the leading being done by the defense probably because the more brophy talks the more guilty and crazy she appears. i can't imagine spending 25 years with this loon.
People who like to hear themselves talk should learn to do so without a lisp. She pronouncing all her S's with a shhhh sound is driving me freaking nuts.
Hahaha "I like a nice bath." How bout that irony. She is gonna be showering in a stinky, mildewy stall with other convicts. Much deserved Nancy. You got your just desserts.
Ha. And no more Starbucks!
@@thelmakitty11 ahahaha
She thinks she’s the smartest one in the room.🙄
When SHE mentions FUR LINED HANDCUFFS ! I just wanna RIP MY ARMS OFF
I reached that point when she mentioned stuffing things in her bra three times in a single sentence.
And they had more than one pair! Gross. No one wants to think about this hag wearing fur-lined handcuffs!
@@aimeerestad6521I didn't even know they made fur lined handcuffs😱
@@sheinFL Oh, you sweet, sweet summer child.
Not a single tear. She’s so focused on being right that she doesn’t realize she’s incriminating herself. “I didn’t call the detective in 4 days, I called in 2”. I was thinking Shut Up Nancy!!
Drama queen
Right? She straight up contradicts herself many times, then gets angry when the prosecutor calls her out on it. 😂 She tries so hard to avoid answering questions about how she can be so sure she didn't shoot him if she doesn't remember that highly specific 8 minute window.
@@sheinFL Right?? She even paused for dramatic effect when she said "that's when I knew...waitaminnit....when I knew DAN WAS DEAD!" 🤦🏼♀️
Later on, I love how prosecutor brings up how she hasn’t been emotional, and the second he brings it up, she has a very lame attempt at seeming sad. But of course it instantly it goes away.
@@bangbangboogie8671 Yuuuuuup. No tears at all. She tries to sniffle but her nose is bone dry, and her voice goes from her usual squawking to...well more squawking, but an octave higher. Then within seconds, she INSTANTLY drops the act.
All this after she told her own lawyer how much she "hates crying in public". 🙄
This woman KILLED her husband and is lying like a MF and the lawyers defending her are trifling.
The aaahhh aaahhh aaahhh's were infuriating. She's absolutely ridiculous, and I can't imagine what being married to her was like.
NB's diarrhea of the mouth suddenly stopped when Maxfield started questioning about June 2. She was instructed to keep her answers to the bare minimum. It was a treacherous crossing for defense. That was the most silence from NB all day. If she had not killed Dan she would have had the green light to blather on as usual about every insignificant random detail of her life during that period of time. Guilty, 100%
Sounds like she had a great life with what most women would consider a dream husband. Now she's rotting in prison because she thought she could get something better with his life insurance payout.
She thought she’d become a character in one of her own terrible, romance novels. Living in Portugal, sipping wine in a hot tub with a former navy seal.
The way her demeanor changed after she warmly thanked her lawyer & in her next breath said, "Good afternoon" spitting icicles, damn near gave me whiplash!
Watching her "act", for the 3rd or 4th time so far, reminds me SO much of watching a more mature Amber Heard. They both try to anticipate the expected emotions & just can't pull it off. They just stop & start dramatically crying or wistfully smiling, laughing even, with a faraway look, as if remembering the good old days.
It's fascinating that these kind of people are just out there, trying to assimilate, until they're busted for something.
Nancy's demeanor is very off putting. Either way her behavior doesn't match the situation. She's a murderer that shouldn't be laughing and cutting up with her lawyer. OR she's a innocent widow of a murder victim that's about to lose her freedom; that terrifying fate wouldn't allow her jovial attitude.
Do you think she is so confident she'll get off then?
I found her very charming and very intelligent.
omg - yes, it IS a murder trial. FM
@@tourdedogue4952 People thought the same of Ted Bundy
@@tourdedogue4952 so did Dan and look where it got him.
Instead of working, Nancy was organizing the plot to kill Dan. This plot has a lot of moving parts: backstories, running plot lines for holes with her “writer” friends, gun purchases, gun practice, timing, SS, taxes, insurance, house…
Yup. I forget who said it, but it was some some of indicator when someone is lying because they add way too many useless details trying to look more genuine. With Nancy, she has a whole ass essay of ancillary nonsense for every single response 🙄
Yes. She had to plot a murder over many months (years?) while budgeting for the ghost gun, Glock and slide barrel, stay on top of life insurance before foreclosure, feed stories about her writing/research, poll the family about their gun ownership, scout the school on a Saturday and not raise suspicion from Dan (what did he think when she left before he did that morning?!) then lastly fool the cops.
It really would have been simpler - let alone better - to just keep a job, curb her spending and be a good, if prtend, loving gramma.
She baffles me.
@@WobblesandBean I watched The Behavior Panel analyze her. That's exactly what they said about too many irrelevant details. It's a way to distract and deflect. Their analysis was fascinating. These guys know guns and they thought she was laughable about her gun "knowledge."
@@ionaadventure I'm still laughing at the fact that she clearly bought the ghost gun to use in the murder, couldn't figure out how to put it together, so just bought a slide and barrel on *_friggin' EBAY_* thinking it wouldn't link back to her! 😂
@Rebekah Spivey I just saw that they have a 2.5 hour video about her testimony. Thank you so much for the suggestion!
I keep coming back to this, fascinating, Lawyer and Client digging a hole that cannot be climbed out of. Especially like how Nancy kept looking at her Attorney after questioning.
The Prosecuting Attorney never got that look.
I've been watching this and all other videos with this story for weeks..I can't stop..she's really sick!
This awful woman’s “we”, “us”, “our” campaign is nauseating. Enough already.
I thought at first she needed to testify....and now I just want her to stop. She is not helping her case, she is too flip about their life and I find her jokes not in good taste. I know the evidence against her is too much. And her lawyer is annoying.
Right I listen for 2 seconds then the lies I just couldn't allow in my brain
Right… at this point her mouth is her worst enemy
I think that's why defense attorneys seem to usually advise their clients against taking the stand and personally as a juror, I think I would understand a defendant that doesn't.
Even if a person is innocent.. it's just creating extra opportunities for the jury to make opinions based off feelings or their own expectations rather than facts. I think we forget how dramatically different other people's realities are and just how vastly different people can react to/think about situations.
Whose to say that a person shouldn't or wouldn't be laughing/making jokes etc about/after the loss of a spouse.. however, to probably most people that is going to feel odd, unsettling or just "wrong".
Honestly, I would maybe feel the slightest bit bad for Nancy and the reason being "ineffective counsel". After watching almost all of the days up til now.. it seems like Nancy and her lawyers spent more time chit chatting rather than preparing for a murder trial.
Her lawyer did Nancy zero favors. I would love to hear another lawyer's thoughts on where she went wrong in her direct.
What evidence? The gun that killed him wasn't the Glock!
And Dan’s best quality (according to her) is that he loved her! Serious narcissist!
I rolled my eyes when she said that. Then her lawyer asks if either of them could run a business, and she says "I did". Asked if either of them could run a household, same answer. Didn't even mention his name, despite the fact that he was the only one running a business AND the household. 🙄
@@WobblesandBean I know! Same thoughts. How she got by as long as she did with her level of narcissism is amazing. The way she and her lawyer went on like they were having lunch just bothered me so much!
With this shooting there could have been multiple victims, some killed and some wounded. When the cops pulled her aside she seemed to be certain that Dan was definitely killed, without question. Why? My first reaction/questions would be how bad is he hurt? What hospital is he being taken to? Can I go to him? I wouldn’t assume that he was dead unless the authorities told me directly. Anyone else catch that?
I thought before she got there she had heard there was a fatality. Right?
@@annieb5647 Supposedly she had heard there was a fatality but she seemed to know it was Dan who died when it could have been someone else instead.
On the way over it was reported someone died and that they had been shot. There aren’t many people at the school at that time. When she said she was the wife of Dan brophy a teacher here they said wait someone will come talk to you. That is supposedly why. She for sure did it. But she remember there were ‘reasons’ why.
Thank God that girl came secs agreed Nancy pulled away. She would've seen Nancy fleeing OCI Nancy would if shot and killed her. That's really scary agreed very lucky.
Point is she thinks she is smarter than others. Uncharming arrogance
Imagine the sanitary conditions of her cataring business when the person in charge thinks it's ok to have credit cards/phone in her bra. Incredible.
Not to mention she was defrauding her suppliers, refusing to pay her employees, and cutting all sorts of corners with the food going to clients. So yeah, it checks out.
That is such a gross practice. Just....ew
So disgusting 😖
@@debbiejones4935 warm up for prison
You misspelled "disgusting "😅
2:42 is so incredible how Ms Nancy switches from cackle to stone face in less than 2 seconds
The Amber Heard effect!
Like the tik toks where the thots show off their acting skills by crying then stopping abruptly to show its an act.
She's infuriating. Aside from that cackle, the way she snorts and loudly slurps her water is making my blood pressure rise.
#Fact
Did you mean 2:42:00 instead? For me, it's not just that she laughs inappropriately, but you can hear a pin drop in that courtroom. NO ONE is finding any of this amusing, Nancy.
Highly improbable that she can recount the many many details she prattles on about, but somehow isn’t clear about driving around near where her husband was killed.
Didn't she say she drove to get Starbucks? Is that the same route as the college/institute?
@@sandrabentley8111 they lived in different city called Beaverton not too far from where Dan worked in Portland. There are 6 Starbucks in Beaverton with 3 that are literally on the way if your heading out towards Portland that are all obviously much much closer to her home. There is a Starbucks that's only a 3 minute drive from the culinary institute but she still drove 30 minutes from a different city (that had 6 Starbucks) all the way to Portland to get coffee there conveniently next to Dan's work and during the small window of time he was killed.
That is because she is still in shock that all her plotting has come to fruition, Dan is dead because she killed him as planned, and she is dreaming of how to spend all the insurance money. That is quite a shock to overcome for anyone and of course, memory can become blurred selectively for self-preservation.
@@salbonpensiero1704 This "Sandra" person has to be Nancy. It is the only exlpanation I can think of. Her constant defending of this obviously guilty person is just plain stupid.
@@debbielockhart7762 I agree. It's gotta be a Nancy sock.
1:34:34 When your own attorney has to ask if you're talking about a real memory or just making shT up...
Lol, exactly!
‘How to convince everyone you murdered your husband’
Alarm Bells going off in every direction I thought my head would explode!! Did I hear that right? NB is claiming she doesn't remember going out that morning??? Are there medical experts to validate her "fog claim" or is this from the diary of Jodi Arias? She also admitted during direct that DB didn't lock doors. She is sketchy on finances when cross examined. And whoa boy...prosecutor brought up a point that 35 people came and helped the alleged murderer clear the property for sale which would NOT have happened when DB was alive. She gets Dan out of the way; gets money; gets benefits from his work; gets her property cleared for sale; gets to play the poor widow and is comforted by DB's friends, family, students, and colleagues. I mean she had it all AFTER DB was murdered. I picked some other gems out but again, my head is exploding. Oh yah, who the HELL sits casually with their arm around the back seat as if they are in a movie theatre during intermission?? Arrrrgggg. PS: And lots of sniffing BUT ZERO tears. ZERO.
Guess she was sleep driving......
My head was exploding too.
@@barbaragrove6097 Same here.
I saw her nose red and her having phlegm in throat like she was holding in the snot.
Are you serious? She got $8000 nothing else was paid. It was a murder no one gets anything until the investigation is over. All Dans murder did was put her in severe financial hardship. What she was entitled to get and what she did get are 2 totally seperate things. Maybe listen closer, all your points are mute as they were hypothetical scenario's put forward and not actual facts, except for help cleaning the property.
The logic of her feeling the need to buy a gun after the Feb school shooting she read about seem odd to me. She claims she was worried for Dan because he taught at a school and she was worried for his safety, but yet Dan didn’t carry the gun for safety at the school…just doesn’t fly to me.
Or to go mushrooming! I’m an Aus, so different culture, but in QLD, NSW, & SA we didn’t need guns for protection due to precious Mushrooms Owners. 🍄🍄🙄🤣
Huh? Why can't she be worried for him and why would he bring his firearm to a school?
She had already bought the gun by then, maybe even 2 guns.
@@Anonymous38572 The point is, she bought a ghost gun kit, couldn't figure out how to put it together, so she bought a glock thinking she could just swap out the slide with the ghost gun one. But she's an idio† and bought a different model of glock, so she went on eBay and specifically bought a slide for the glock.
Not once did Dan carry the gun, plus she bought and wrapped it for herself for Christmas, not Dan, so her story that she got it for his protection is pure BS.
Her constant "mmhmm" instead of "yes" wore on my nerves. She was that uninterested in this that she couldn't utter a "yes". I'm surprised the attorneys didn't call her on it, if for the court reporter alone.
Wow. I waited for this day to see NB on the stand. She never answers a question directly. She is laid back as if she is sitting in her living room with her arm resting on the end of a sofa, which I find disrespectful to the court (I hope the judge or her attorneys tell her to sit straight up tomorrow) as she continues to weave her lies and tries to convince the jurors and folks watching that she is innocent of killing her husband.
I thought when she avoided answering questions, instead, going down the so-called "rabbit hole" would be considered "argumentative." Hours were wasted in the court today.
NB is (to me) writing her next book in her head as if she was trying out her ideas to a book club. Some of her phrases (I am paraphrasing); tears are wasteful, secrets inside a mayonnaise jar, to my favorite; I had food in places where food didn't belong; I found tomatoes 🍅 in my linen closet. In my opinion, NB is a narcissist. I am sure Dan's family's eyes must hurt from rolling them all day - she thinks she is more intelligent than everyone in the room - the "fake" laugh, loss of memory, and dry humor doesn't look good on you, NB!
Day 22 tomorrow...
answerer
Ugh I know… it’s like the past 4 years she had written this book ( in her head) and is playing the character in the book .. seems very phony . Who is that happy and talkative giving a testimony??!! She wants to try and get the jury to get a full picture of this fictional story . I’m not buying it
During Direct it is not argumentative. And the prosecution is brilliant to let her babble on. She babbled so much during direct she gave the prosecutor lots to explore. He cannot come across as harsh because the jury will not like that. He will narrow her focus when it suits him. Her direct was short compared to other trials.
@@Elizabeth.C.Holmes Very good. I hope the jury will discuss all this...
And, I agree, the prosecutor has an especially soft voice with her. Knowing she just might be a grieving widow. Pretty brilliant. This is such a helpful forum.
I find her testimony uncomfortable to watch even when her attorney was doing the questioning. Her laid back mater of fact way of describing her and Dans relationship and how she can recall the tiniest details unless the questions from the prosecutor get too close to home and then she claims ignorance or amnesia.
Omg how many times can she go ahhhhhhh driving me crazy 🤪
And say "ya know". She says "ya know" every 5 words and it's driving me nuts!
But the lisp is worse..... "yeash, and I shaid to shomeone that Dan'sh inshurance washn't...." ARRRRGH 😡
"How am I😢going to get by without him?"😢
IN PRISON, YA LOUSY MURDERER - THAT'S HOW! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
That's the only reason she is upset he's gone, because now she has no house slave to wait on her hand and foot. Nancy claimed credit for everything, but Dan was the only one doing anything. He cooked, he cleaned, he walked the dogs, he did it all, while she did nothing but sit in bed all day.
@369blueneptune did you catch the part where NB said she had a plan? To go to bed cover her head and wake up in 2050. I think her plan is going to be reality. I actually laughed at that. What a horrible women she is. I wish someone would post a 2023 update on her in prison or do an interview.
@@markschindler172 It would be be great if someone would do an interview with her. With her ego, you know she would jump at the chance.
When Overstreet asks Nancy the question about envy, she has a BIZARRE response. She says she was not remotely envious, and proceeds to tell a story about free appetizers being offered at a restaurant because of how much the chefs admired Dan and wanted him to try a recipe. The story shows Nancy completely out of the picture at the restaurant. A nonentity. And note the tight mouth: she's in a rage about this incident, though she claims to be "proud" (she sounds like a mom talking about a teenager, too, who needs a little puffing up). This is a story which illustrates ENVY, not a story which argues against it.
Check out 2:57:45 to get a snap shot of where she is with this: sneering and arms crossed.
I doubt if many came up and recognized the world famous author that Nancy wanted to be lol yeah, she was jealous of Dan's abilities.
Good points. That for your insight
She was clearly bitter, but still tried to steal his thunder by claiming credit for herself. "Oh he's with me and I am the only person responsible for making him such a great man, so everyone loving Dan means everyone loves me by default."
@@sheinFL LOL this lipless cow organized a book signing for herself, and nobody showed up. 😂
Then he asked if Dan was jealous of her and she said "I can't see why he would be"
It occurred to me that the Brophy‘s parents, they did not know that she was even a suspect, I bet it was a complete surprise to them that she was arrested in September. Because the police would’ve kept that tight…. I feel so badly for his parents.
Me, too. My heart breaks for the Brophys. Nancy stole their van, forced their son to work two full time jobs on top of doing all of the cooking and cleaning, ruined his credit by taking out cards and loans in his name, and alienated their only grandchild out of their lives because of her meddling.
There are no words for how irredeemable, insufferable, and utterly *_infuriating_* that wretched woman is.
@@WobblesandBean- take comfort in knowing she’s miserable in prison. She deserves it!
@@JustMe-px9qy Oh I take great pleasure in it! I hope Dan's family are together for Christmas while she's alone and miserable in her jail cell.
@@WobblesandBean - there’s no Starbucks in prison.
And Miss “ I like a nice bath” isn’t getting a nice bath in prison either.
I’d love to hear how she’s adjusting to her new life.
I swear this is the most laid back courtroom I’ve ever watched. There’s no objections at all and witnesses and Nancy just freely talk about whatever they want. Judge only talks when it’s time for a break. Very very strange to me. It’s just so quiet.
There were more objections throughout the trial. Can't really object without a basis.. I would assume the prosecution has no problem with Nancy talking on and on, she can't keep up with her own lies. She jumped in things before having a plan, but she "rarely jumps in without a plan and without following through". She researches researches researches yet she's impulsive and does things when the mood hits her.
absolutely..the weirdest shit i have ever seen!
No need to object: Nancy's shooting herself in the foot. Let her blab...
Right? Her lawyer is standing there, brazenly asking leading questions, and I only heard one single objection!
It was like the twilight zone. The judge seemed to know zero about the case.
Wow, on Nancy’s changing demeanor between direct and cross. She went from cry-ish, to duper’s delight, to evil-face seething.
She _haaaaaated_ the prosecutor. Her real personality showed through in cross. That recorded phone call where she demeans Dan's student who testified before her was a glimpse of the real Nancy, too.
@@WobblesandBean- yes. We saw the real Nancy. Nasty
2:42:00 The way she keeps taking all these little jabs at Dan is abhorrent. She's supposed to be putting on an act of the grieving widow, yet she just can't help but to put him down while complimenting herself.
And that DEAD expression after she’s done cackling. She’s utterly creepy.
@@heathernikki5734 Ugh, that cackle, I just can't with her. I have never heard a human being squawk like a cockatoo, but here we are.
Let's see... Dan did all the cooking; Dan walked the dogs; Dan worked at Abamer to pay off their credit card debt; Dan had to take $35k out of his 401k that he probably slaved for because Nancy didn't pay the mortgage; Dan did his garden and provided food, but Nancy hired someone to dead head her flowers and mow the lawn (the front garden); Dan brought Nancy Starbucks in bed; when Dan reached 70, he was going to contribute way more Social Security than Nancy because he'd worked so hard...
And what did Nancy do? Let me see...... She had a catering business for a handful of years, and lost a lot of money (per cross). She wrote a bunch of insurance the one year Susan was around. She sold 2-3 Medicare policies in 2017 (per opening statement). She has a meager SS. She was a hack writer with self-published novellas in 2015, typos and all, reviews from her mystery club friends. No volunteer work.... Nancy was DOING nothing.
Did you notice Susan's excuse for breaking up the "successful partnership" with Nancy? She said that her daughter had had her first heartbreak and needed her so she had to go and be by her side. Fishy much?
She also mentioned, 'the maids are here early today". Lawn Warriers didn't show up. Whatever that means except, I was surprised they had enough money for 'maids'. Who calls people doing domestic, personal work for you, Maids? Bugs me.
@@tourdedogue4952 I saw maids on the On Point statement. Not being able to afford something didn't stop Nancy from spending.
And lets not forget she was living in a dorm room on ssi use free financial aid money when she meet Dan without a car.
@@starrlove2060 where did you find that info about her? I’m interested in reading more on it!
Her entire gun buying story doesn’t make any sense. A convoluted story trying to explain why she would suddenly buy a gun, ghost gun, and additional slide just for research for a “story”. Most husbands would want to accompany their wife in buying a gun too. I’ll bet that Dan didn’t know about these purchases at all. And coincidentally, he was shot to death just 4 months later?
Totally agree. Convoluted. Good word for the way she explains and describes. Her *thinking* is convoluted. She said that Dan had said it's OK to get a gun after the school shooting in FL. When she got the gun she testified that he said maybe they should sell it since they had both decided they weren't going to use it, after which she immediately bought the slide and barrel. Who knows what Dan said &/or knew. She can say whatever she wants. And she makes things up as she goes. Barely makes sense half the time. Too many twists and turns in her stories, things don't add up.
@@barbaragrove6097 Thought provoking, thanks.
@@barbaragrove6097 Yes, you're right. After listening to her entire testimony today, my head is rather reeling from all her stories.
@@barbaragrove6097 Yup, nothing she said added up. First, she wanted the gun for Dan's protection (mushrooms and school), she never mentions she was going to be carrying it around. But then, she says the nice gentleman at the gun show persuaded to get a particular model as it was more suitable for a woman. Then she glosses over the purchase of the barrel (which apparently was stolen by the good people who volunteered to help her clean the house) by saying that "at that point I was obsessed with parts". What BS is that?
Exactly
Call me over zealous furiously looking for more obvious and blatant reasons to DESPISE this so called"wife/woman" but ummmm the unatuural and borderline evil type pursed tight mouth and lips along with her almost inability to ever spill out a single word of truth is absolutely driving me nuts!!!
Right? It's so off-putting! I have never seen anyone with no lips. None! Just a tiny slit. That bothers me, along with her horrid, tasteless "jokes" she kept laughing at, often at Dan's expense.
Don’t forget her twangy speech impediment. Like nails on a chalkboard
She has not shed one tear
1:36:50 Biggest regret of the judge's life. She took 4 whole minutes to answer one question. FOUR. MINUTES. If that doesn't sound like a lot, set a timer for 4 minutes and do nothing. It's agonizing.
😂😂😂
@@MrAllysonn For real though, I honestly cannot tolerate this woman! She clearly dgaf about mindfulness of others, or respecting their time. I have never seen anyone testify for more than two hours, let alone *_two whole ass days!_*
She thinks shes so interesting. Shes a bore.
I was on a jury and they amazed me with all the things they picked up on. People may have liked her, but facts are facts. Just the fact that she told her mother-in-law Dan was shot and killed before the police told her it was Dan, this makes her guilty.
And then ALL the inconsistencies and her demeanor on cross - that’ll be the cherry!
It is hard to tell if people liked Nancy for Nancy, or because Dan cooked when Nancy had friends over. We didn't have any witnesses just like her. I don't think anyone really knew a lot about her. They knew a lot more about Dan.
Ikr! It’s like u think someone in that situation would be saying to their mother in law ‘Im here at the college and I haven’t seen Dan yet but I will call u when I do or as soon as I find out where he’s at’, but she just immediately says it’s Dan and he’s dead?? Like really lady? U jus knew bc someone hugged u? And I swear she hears a narrator in her head while she’s on the stand pretending to care and telling HER life story and everything SHE went thru. Me Me Me! I can’t imagine her having many friends at all with her self centered personality.
She will die in afew years in a prison hosp by herself alone and than she will feel the pain of being a heartless killer
I think at that postion you don't look at speculations, it is about human's life and only facts can do.
That letter from the “agent” absolutely took me OUT. And not it being dated literally 7 days before Dan’s murder.
Then when prompted to produce this manuscript that agents were interested in, NB’s response is that most of her plotting and story lining is in her head, so there’s no notes
Wtf would she be showing these “agents” then
You're not a writer unless you actually write. Making things up in your head is not writing. Nancy is not a writer. It's all delusional BS.
She thinks she's smarter than everyone in that room, including the judge, prosecutor, and the jury. Her doublespeak is infuriating, and she's far too arrogant to see that everyone can see right through her bad acting and lies.
I have a couple of books in my head. Hey look at me, I'm an author....
🎶 On the first day of Christmas, Nancy Brophy received:
A jury verdict of guiltyyyyy!🎶
“I talk to him everyday; he’s a little quieter than he was” 😮 😞
I audibly gasped when she said that!
And she probably thought that line was so funny and endear her to the Jury. I wouldn't doubt she thought she could use that line in a future book. God she is vile.
@@jeng8401 She really is. I'm sure she felt she was being endearing every time she cracked a joke at Dan's expense or laughed at inopportune times, too.
She's glib. She's heartless. She's empty.
@@gsdogsmom Yup. Have you heard the police death notification? She tells them about how last week he needed stitches because the shower door "mysteriously" shattered when he touched it, then followed that up with "he's not having a good week". What. The. FU€K.
Sarcasm doesn’t play well in a murder trial.
Omg it drives me crazy how much she says mmhmmm after every word the lawyers say!
And "you know". If this had been a drinking game, we'd all be dead by the 30 minute mark!
@@WobblesandBean for sure!! 😂😂
@@WobblesandBeannot to mention when she says " hey" 😂
She’s a terrible writer. She was prior to the murder. Is there anyway we can file a class action law suit against her for being an even worse actress?
thank goodness she didn’t kill someone on the road while “writing “ and driving.
I do not understand 2nd degree murder, when she totally planned this way in advance....and 2 shots into the heart, from behind and in front....
I don't understand that either. I'd love to get an attorneys take on it
@debbiejones4935 just look up Oregon homicide laws.
"I cannot be a person who knows nothing and write a story that nobody believes"
😂😂
I think the most frustating thing is when she says, in such a knowing tone "... all of the food is from Vancouver Island, which, as you know, is not big..."
Vancouver Island is massive Nancy.
The prosecutor got in the whole line of points about how envious Nancy was of Dan. He covered a lot in this section. How she basked in his fame, how he got all the kudos.... Nancy did very poorly with this: the rage was patent, distorted face, sneering, seething. She was almost spitting out words.
Nancy also had the arrogance to state (not even imply) that it was she who made Dan successful and popular: she says otherwise he would have had no status or appeal or recognition. Yep, it was all due to her!
No mention in her discussion of Dan's hard work and talent and that's how he got where he was.
(The role of hard work and talent in the route to success has escaped her personally her whole life, BTW.)
"Nancy also had the arrogance to state (not even imply) that it was she who made Dan successful and popular". I thought that's what she said but wasn't sure. WOW JUST WOW. She's quite grandiose, narcissistic, delusional.
wow - spot on. It shocked me the minute it came out of her mouth. Who says things like that?
Apparently she's smarter than her own insurance expert too🤣
Yeah, that shows what an egomaniac narcissist she is - obviously it was Dan who was successful and brought the money in while she struggled to make money with her awful books, but of course, it's all due to her. 🙈🤮
She might actually have been correct on the insurance detail (but I’m not sure exactly what pros was asking) but she had no hesitation in making her expert witness wrong.
Whoever her cellmate is, I hope they can find a way to turn their hearing off.
She doesn't seem like a stupid woman...but to be that oblivious to the normal parameters of human behavior? I would be so sad, defeated if i were on trial for killing my wife when i was innocent, knowing the police were SO far from catching the real culprit that they are years invested in me. There wouldn't be an ounce of light-heartedness. None.
Exactly.
OMG
She was the quintessential distracted driver. It's a miracle she didn't cause a wreck.
Of all the physical likenesses to Nancy, the most convincing one to me is:
Put on a black hat, with some straw sticking out from the brim, and you've got . . . The Scarecrow!
She's up on the stand trying to put on a show. It's so rehearsed but she made several slip ups. I find her to be a big liar! Writing her story. She's up there laughing and so casual as if nothing ever happened . Poor Dan who had to live with this manipulating calculating liar who thinks she is the one who made him successful !. Liar. What a joke.
When did Dan find out they were 35k behind on mortgage payments? I bet he found out that morning?!
1:59:10 defend
And then
Cross examination start
At 2:22:50
She never ever said even one sentence about how much she loved her husband (like a any normal person in love ) !
For me, is a big gave a way !
Her Jowls must be 3lbs each. Look at them flap when she angrily bobbles her head. LOL! Good stuff.
That's an ugly and unnecessary comment on her looks. She's a lying murderer, doesn't matter what she looks like.
Self published “author” never made any money from her books. Certainly her reason for buying all that expensive gun paraphernalia was not justified by her “research”. Poor Dan. He married a monster shortly before she killed him for some life insurance money. A special spot in hell is waiting for her.
😰 I know a few monsters. She sure spent a lot of his money on retreats and writers-groups meetings. Sylvia Beach's Hemingway room isn't cheap. I live not far away. And, the 'hole in the wall' she talked about is ARR place with the best food in the PNW and quite expensive, especially with wine. Yes, he would have loved it. So, that seemed genuine. But, free for all with money, which she admits.
>He married a monster shortly before she killed him for some life insurance money
Research my foot! Why put it in storage then? This whole story sounds made up to me. She claims she had shared the storyline with her writer friends but none of them discussed it on the stand so we only have her word for it.
She killed him for the SS money too. I would guess that’s at least $1k per month ‘til she dies. She might even be collecting it now.
Great to know!
Her sarcasm and attempts to be witty are so inappropriate.

How impressively self aware.
Her acting is as bad as her writing.
Nancy went from Starbucks to Barbucks real quick
And you want to hear something ironic? The prison unit she is incarcerated at is named Coffee Creek. 😂
No wonder she wasn't a successful writer. She's not a convincing storyteller.
Her lawyers are awful and absolutely unprofessional. Disgusting.
I thought they were deliberately awful.
Haven't cooked a meal in 25 years 🙄 she damn sure doesnt have to worry about cooking where she is 😁
no more baths for you NANCY LOL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
People who can’t see her as a selfish, narcissistic, grandiose, manipulative person make me nervous. How can you not see that? Sense that? Yikes.
You just answered your own question. Narcissists are by nature grandiose and manipulative, just look at Anthony Todt. These people don't show their true colors openly. In Nancy's case, she's used to steamrolling other people in conversation. No one has a chance of digesting her lies, let alone call her out on them, before she's already gone on to the next rambling story. She counts on that.
That's why it was a good strategy to let her ramble on the witness stand for hours. If you let a narcissist like Nancy talk long enough, they will inevitably contradict herself. She tells so many lies that she can't possibly track them all, yet can't fall back on her usual tricks to hand wave away her inconsistencies.
Nancy said that she’s a chatter. A lying one at that.
I guess Dan woulda REALLY scared you, then!
NB tip no 1: When you just can't manage to fake crying, just touch your face and say "just give me a minute" and everybody will think that you are being brave and stoic. Works like a charm every time! 👍
I literally rolled my eyes when she did that. My god, how artificial can she be? "And Dan wasn't there.... waitaminnit... And that's when I knew, waitaminnit... when I knew **pause for dramatic effect** when I knew...I knew Dan was DEAD!!" 🤦🏼♀️
Ironic they save every dang thing and are packrats, but the ONE thing she can’t find in all her stuff is the gun slide after Dan’s death…that’s her nail in the coffin to me.
For me it's the camera footage of her practically stalking OCI in her car the hour leading up to the murder, and then making a beeline back to her house right after the murder was committed. The closing argument by the prosecutor did a great job of laying all of the facts out and showing the timeline of events the morning of the murder.
@@WobblesandBean
Yes, that circling, circling of oci looks so predatory.
1:21 makes me physically ill. I truly can't stand this woman.

I could have gone the whole trial without hearing about Nancy Brpphy's fur-lined handcuffs 🤮

@@luckewoman0348between this and learning that she carried money in her bra...🤮🤢
Step, step, breathe. All those offers given to you Nancy, by your and Dan’s friends for a place to stay, you have that place to stay, you will be surrounded by folks that are not your family. ..Prison is too good for you.
And while in prison Nancy, please read the transcripts of your trail , and recognize your guilt. While 12 jurors came to the conclusion of guilty, and rightly, many of us agreed.
Honestly.. she didn’t realize what she had or in her mind all the good he was wasn’t enough.. cuz seems like he was pretty amazing and many people who are looking for life partners would love a person like Dan . Shame on her
Dan seems like an amazing human being. What he saw in this Benjamin Franklin impersonator is a bigger mystery than Bigfoot. Maybe she reminded him of a mushroom?

All these policy's feel very scammy. I feel like Nancy thought she was gaming the system when really she was throwing good money after bad.
They make no sense for retirement income, whatsoever.
@@tourdedogue4952 They also make no sense if they will result in losing your home.
@@tourdedogue4952 exactly. Spending 1k a month in life insurance policies. Pay off your mortgage or put it into 401k account.
She use to do policy . So she knows the loop holes an what u can add
She was gaming the system. She lied to the insurance companies about the policies she already had on Dan. They would never have let her insure him for as much as she did.
Wow she brought the word Betrayal on a whole different level.
I mean imagine those 1000 questions when Dan saw her !!!
And i bet that all started with Why !!!
She really thought that her mouth would save her and she will be going home 😂 😂
If I had any doubt before the performance....I mean tesimony :P, now I have none!
a) Straight out of a Greek tragedy she describes the morning of the murder when she arrived at the Institut. Cries and says she was praying Dan was not dead and blah blah but she forgets we've heard the recording of the death notification in the van. She only asked what happened to Dan after "shooting the breeze" (I borrowed this from a comment by Doris Henderson) with the detectives for 16 minutes!!!!!!!
b) She remembers ridiculous details from 20 years ago but NOT the morning of the murder.
c) She glosses over the reason for purchasing the barrel!! Says she was "obsessed with parts" which is not corroborated by anything else. The kit gun was in storage and the other Glock she had per her testimony was never used. None of that sounds obsessive or makes sense.
d) She claims she bought the Glock cause she was worried about Dan's safety when he was mushroom hunting and also about the "school shootings" . Yet she also says that at the gun show, she opted for a gun that was better suited to a woman, ie herself.
e) She also "doesn't know" where the barrel is. Her defense's insinuation that any one of the 25-35 good Samaritans who helped her clean out her house has stolen it is despicable.
Well, I've hunted for mushrooms on a trail leading to the beach many times, as a good friend taught me where to find them. I was out on the Jetty trails with my dogs through mushroom trails and, I got freaked out. Weird men lurking just beyond the next tree. So, somebody talked me into buying a gun and thought I'd strap it to my ankle, outside of it, which is legal in Oregon. And, like Dan, there's no way I was going to do it out mushroom picking and running dogs in the gentle coastal woods.
Same here. I was keeping doubt alive, until today. No doubt now.
@@tourdedogue4952 She said she bought the particular model as it was "better suited for a woman". So, it was not for Dan after all ;)
So the gun was in storage after the fact, after the house was cleaned out, after Dan was dead. He no longer needed protection and if my spouse was shot dead. Id remove all guns from my house. Researching and writting a book would be the last thing on my mind. So the gun being in storage means shit and if she had 25/30 people helping clean out the house chances are the gun and parts were in the house at that time. Its not out of the realm of possibility that someone with no idea about guns could have thrown it in the rubbish, which is more likely than being stolen.
@@sandranash3944 No, I don't think that's it. The gun was in her bedroom on a shelf and she freely offered it to the detectives who drove both her and her van home. (that's how they got the pictures that the detectives on scene noticed it was her van). When they did a search of her storage pod, they found the Ghost Gun, tucking the bottom of a box filled with scarves and purses. The slide & barrel she purchased on eBay was never found. The Willamette River is a few blocks away from that area, so - well, simple enough.
We had a couple of sets of fur-lined handcuffs. Did I hear that right?
😅 yes, and it was skimmed right over! What the heck?
😅 Can't you just picture her putting those on Dan for some "sexy time"?
I have to say, her and Anthony Todt would make quite the pair. They both love to blather on and on about nothing related to the trial or questions asked. They should share a cell and see who can talk the other one to death first
Yuuuup. They're both insufferable narcissists who think they're going to outsmart the prosecutor and walk. I think that they should both be sentenced to spend the rest of their lives in each other's company.
@@WobblesandBean😂😂😂 u crack me up👍🇬🇧
I'm gonna Google "mushroom hunting" i call it "picking😅. Why do you need a gun?!
Saves blender time later, if you're making a sauce.
If ,she ever felt real grief she would know that crying is inevitable either sooner or later, sometimes years later. This woman is a cold, calculating narcissist whose only tears would be for herself.
Dan sounds so fun and interesting. I would have loved to go on one of his field trips.
Is it just me that gets kinda irritated whenever they say Dan "passed away" or they say "he died"?????
Because in my opinion he didn't just "die" or simply "pass away"
HE WAS KILLED, HE WAS MURDERED!!!! There's a huge difference between the two, I think so anyways... What do you think??
Yes it does.
I wrote your exact question in another cases comment section.
I was told they can't say murdered until proven so in a court of law.
It's purposeful that they are saying he passed away. It takes the brutality out of it.
I would think they should say killed, not passed away.
He most definitely didn't pass away.
He was killed. Ambushed and murdered.
It does bother me. Nothing new though.
Nancy is lazy, selfish, and mean spirited. Poor Dan lived with this woman for 25 years.
She’s bizarre, cruel and cold.
I’m so glad she’s sitting on her oversized rear in prison.
Yes
Why the hell would you buy insurance with no family age 35? Who’s going to be the beneficiary?
How does this work? She has no memory where she was or what she did during the time her van was near OCI but she testified that she did not kill Dan. Huh?
The vehicle was identified by a mark on the back passenger side rear panel. It's still 4 years later and the vehicle has still not been identified by registration, Vin number nothing. They also cant definitively say Nancy was driving. The Van arrived before Dan even did so she apparently layed in wait for him. But he was shot in the back. Thats not in and out quickly.
@@sandranash3944 lol that is absolutely her and she even testified it was her. You honestly believe she is innocent?
Even Nancy admitted that was her in those grainy videos… wearing her black nightshirt with the white lace. I could definitely tell it was her. The prosecutor pulled it all together perfectly with the timing and the videos in his closing argument.
I don't know about any of you, but even though she is "crying" I haven't seen one single tear roll down her cheek. I think she has been well-rehearsed. I'm still not buying it, though. She goes on way too many rampages about absolutely nothing. It's one lie after another. I also found it really odd that she remembers so many things in great detail, except the morning she killed Dan! The prosecution started and she immediately contradicted herself. She did say purple "envelope" and Dan's picture was on the folder. When Overstreet asked again, she denied saying envelope, and the folder had Dan's picture on it. Nancy did confirm that her niece Susan did not arrive until the Friday after Dan's death which totally contradicts Susan's testimony that she was there when Nancy called her insurance company & they told her to get a letter from the police exonerating her of Dan's death. If you remember Susan's testimony, she said she was there & heard the conversation with the insurance agent. Another one of Nancy's friends or relatives (I don't remember which one) also said Susan did not get there until Friday in time for Dan's memorial at OCI.
THANK YOU! not a single tear
Exactly! She’s supposed to be crying but somehow doesn’t skip a beat in her answers and finds her words extremely easily
She switches too fast between “crying” sniveling, and flat affect
It’s weird
You can tell she hated the chickens and Dan!
How convenient. The victim is asked to put together his own murder weapon.
And pay for it
