People just don’t understand that they’re not smart enough to murder their spouse, get the insurance money and not get caught. The only place they’re going to live happily ever after is in prison!
Sadly enough not all do end up in prison (murder their partner, child, or other); those that get away with it on this earth stand before God Almighty someday.
@NewYorkResident2021 for sometime but the truth always comes out....in life & in death......
The ones who are smart enough are the ones who are never under suspicion, cash the insurance check, and escape detection. I think such murders fly under the radar. You don't know who they are and you won't.
@@barbsyorkies many secrets have been taken to the grave, never to be in known. That’s just an untrue statement that sounds good.
I can't figure out what poor Dan ever saw in her.....
I wonder if the jury notices witnesses crying and she is just staring. Shouldn't she be in tears too for the murder of her husband who has been and is the love of her life?
I'm sure . Juries are very attentive.
she is the one who killed him.. so she hates him. I'm sure she married him for money
She is probably a narcissist and doesn't feel empathy.
Her proximity to the witnesses is intimidating and even appears threatening to me. In my opinion, she isn't helping her case.
Yeah they didn’t really consider that when they designed this courthouse lol the door for in custody defendants is right there next to the witness stand.
She said in her blog “if you married for money, aren’t you entitled to all of it?” What a disgusting woman. I wonder if Amber heard read this woman’s blogs and books.
Good coverage on this story; thank you for sharing....
I re-listened to defense opening and I swear I heard attorney say Nancy got up and went to get coffee like she does every morning and that she was deep in thought driving around a bit then the shock caused her to forget she was out that morning - during the critical time!
I live in Portland & have been an event manager for many high end restaurants. I know chefs who studied under Dan Brophy & have never heard one negative thing said about him. This will be an interesting trial to watch. Of course, I think she is guilty af & I hope she spends the rest of her life behind bars.
Where is the full day 2?
Phone records will time stamp when she talked about the death with the victim's mom and when she was notified by pilice - or anyone else
Her other novels failed so now She wants to star I her very own crime novel, she’s gonna come out with the book in prison. Trust me
The red haired lady said she did not know the murder victim very well, then said she had been "taking it one day at a time" the last two years. ???? So she has been traumatized by the death of a man she barely knew?
Of course it was traumatic for everyone who was there that morning. They arrived for class, studying something they enjoyed doing, then discovered someone had died, and soon learned he had been shot! I can’t imagine the stress. It would affect your feelings about the place for the rest of your life.
@watchmejumpstart Of course it would be a terrible start to FIND a dead body, and it would be very sad to learn that someone you knew has been murdered, but to describe how you feel NOW as "day by day", sounds like someone in need of mental health intervention. Death happens and if a casual acquaintence has effected you for two years, red flags and alarm bells should be going off.
@@damesaphira9790 death happens yes but it isn’t normal to see the aftermath of a MURDER. That different than just having someone you know die.
@@KL-pd7cr Not only did she NOT find the body, she didn't see it either. She learned that someone she barely knew, was dead. Is it even possible to be more weak, whiney or histrionic? I think not.
@@damesaphira9790 - You are trying to defend a weak argument by making personal attacks on someone who has done nothing to deserve it. Shame on you.
If the video across the street shows the chef showing up going into the door, is there video of the garage door being entered by a “unknown” person?
Where can we watch the trial? Who is streaming/posting it?
It was live yesterday on local Portland Oregon stations but not today. Don’t know why

I don't like the old cow.
They're not gonna let the essay into evidence/the trial but if she's gonna take the stand can't the prosecutor then just straight up ask her have you ever wrote any pieces about killing your husband? She'd have to tell the truth!
No because the judge already excluded that essay. That means they cannot ask about it or ask any question where the answer could potentially bring up the essay.
You can’t just try to maneuver around a judges ruling.
No. She will be a defense witness. The defense counsel will question her first. The prosecutor will only ask questions related to her testimony. She would have to bring it up first, but I can’t imagine that happening.
@@GH-oi2jf there's no scope on cross of a defendant
Just how is the article not relevant to what happened? 11 years? What does it matter? So if you are patient, you get away with murder? So without the article and a sighting of a car that matches her’s, what has the prosecution got?
The judge didn’t say it wasn’t relevant, he said it’s too old and the probative value does not outweigh the prejudice it would cause the defendant. Prosecution also wasn’t offering it as proof that she killed it or that she thought about killing him. They were only offering it to show that she had knowledge.
They don’t need the article though. They have the surveillance video and the murder weapon and the million dollar motive.
They have purchases of gun parts, and they have lies about the guns and about her whereabouts.
@@KL-pd7cr Thank you. On reflection, I can now see the probative v prejudicial argument. Probably a good call after all but the surveillance footage only shows a vehicle of similar model. No number plate. Reasonable doubt?
@@GH-oi2jf No credible alibi?
Install cameras, everywhere needed.
AGREE
Omg they really had that man walking in the rain with his selfie stick? Is Oregon that small? 😂
She is an author? She doesn’t look like she could spell her name.
What does that look like
Lol
Anyone that could even write such stories (books) is not a person of sound mind...evil to the core. I believe she killed her husband; one reason for the life insurance money.
My former husband ordered a DNR on my son and collected on a life insurance policy...although, it was not legal to collect on a life insurance policy when he (with the hospital) killed my son.
These people are narcissists, evil psychopaths.
So all people whom write horror or crime novels are evil to the core?
A lot of fiction is written which describes criminal acts. The authors are not all psychopaths. It’s a legitimate genre. In her case, she just wasn’t very good at it.
Brophy's "romance" novels. Yeesh. I read a few pages on Amazon and threw up in my mouth a little. There are good ways to do sex scenes, and then there's Nancy Brophy's . . . way.
How were the gunshots not heard?
I was under the impression he was shot before the students were there? 🤔
It was inside a building with no other people in the building.
I never understand Google searches and diary notes proof anything. Especially when you’re a crime writer or a true crime enthusiast. The defense has a strong story. We’ll see. This is like a movie.
Circumstantial cases depend on several circumstances working together to build a picture of the crime.
Except for the part where a man died...
Is this the women that wrote Basic Instinct? Plot twist.
She's gonna Walk.
Not including the novel paragraph as evidence, can't believe that!!
" Crazy 👀 Nancy" uugh
The statue of the elk was placed there long before Portland was “weird.” It dates from 1900. That’s the Portland of James Beard’s childhood.
Staring. She must be quite a character.
Perhaphs she is trying to figure out who killed her husband
Why are those fools wearing masks outside?
“novelist” …hm ..while she was thinking at loud how to kill her husband…
“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.”
Evil woman with evil thoughts she carried out...
Thanks for posting this!! She avoided cleaning up a messy crime scene at home by doing the deed at his work...
Please don't begin a statement with "So" or "Yeah".
It’s pronounced Oregon, not Aregon.
Yes, Or-a-gun. Not, Or-a-gone
Sad witness cried more than his wife😢
*They didn't have ONE book of hers....
Jury in Portland Oregon will find her not guilty. lol
Why do you think that?
Guess again
The article is not suspect at all, shes a crime writer.
😆😹🙃
Why are those fools wearing masks in court?
Why do you care?
“The black show.” Bring back white people!
What!?
