  • Forty-six-year-old Christine Ricci is accused of violently murdering her 51-year-old husband, Michael Ricci, after the two got into a heated argument. Michael Ricci was allegedly experiencing manic episodes in the week leading up to the deadly altercation. Christine Ricci claims the stabbing was in self-defense after he allegedly lunged at her, lodging the knife in his chest. Their 16-year-old child called 911 and Christine Ricci was arrested. First responders said Michael, a Boston firefighter, had been stabbed in the heart. Christine faces trial for murder.

    The defense lawyer continues to insist that no evidence or witnesses be admitted into the trial. I've never seen an attorney object so much about everything. For example there are three wounds no matter what he tries to argue and defensive wounds on the hands - all of which he objected to.

    Psychosis refers to a collection of symptoms that affect the mind, where there has been some loss of contact with reality. During an episode of psychosis, a person’s thoughts and perceptions are disrupted and they may have difficulty recognizing what is real and what is not.

    Besides all of Christine's personality issues, why does she take college courses to help Mike, Sr? Find him an AA group, attend all the meetings and socials gatherings? First I thought she doesn't trust him, he may meet a woman there. Now I wonder if she made him out to have memory loss, alcoholism, mental episodes, etc because she wanted things to fix about him, like a Munchausen By Proxy person. She was the main contributor to his issues, yet wanted to save him from being her own creation? He learned to tune her out, and she just could not stand his lack of reaction.

      I think he came up with the memory loss, alcoholism etc to use as an excuse for having an affair. So she said if u want to stay together you need treatment etc. And she believed it because that was easier than believing there was something wrong with the marriage.
