Romantic story writer from the USA who wrote an essay entitled years ago “How to Murder Your Husband” (“How to Kill Your Husband”) is now on trial for murder of her husband.
THE Nancy Crampton-Brophy, The 71-year-old was charged with fatally shooting her husband, Daniel Brophy, 63, in June 2018. She was arrested and charged with murder three months after his death, according to the Associated Press.
However, despite the title of her essay, a judge ruled that the online post could not be presented as evidence against her, according to NBC News.
At her trial, which began Monday, Oregon Attorney General Shawn Overstreet told jurors that Crampton-Brophy had incentive greed and a $ 1.4 million insurance policy.
According to local media, the accused’s husband was killed as he was preparing for work early in the morning on June 2, 2018 at the institute where he worked. He was a teacher at the Oregon Culinary Institute.
According to the then announcement of the police, o Daniel was found fatally wounded in the back and chest by a gun.

The AP reports that investigators found no signs of violence, fighting or robbery. Daniel Brophy had his cell phone, wallet and car keys with him.
Traffic cameras show the 71-year-old’s minivan on the streets near the institute, near the obvious time of the shootingas stated in court documents.
Portland’s KGW television station reported that before the trial began Monday, a judge ruled in favor of a defense, ensuring jurors would not consider her “How to Kill Your Husband,” which was written before. 11 years.
The judge said the post was old and was written for a writing seminar. Any value it may have offset by the prejudice it may cause the jury.

“For my friends and family on facebook, I have sad news to say. My husband and best friend Chef Dan Brophy was killed yesterday morning. For those of you who are close to me and want to call me, you are right, but I am struggling to understand everything right now. Candlelight vigils are being held at the Oregon Cooking Institute tomorrow, Monday, June 4 at 7 p.m. Although I appreciate all your kind answers, I’m shocked. “Hold the phone calls for a few days until I can work.”
