An American novelist who wrote an essay titled “How to Kill Your Husband” began serving a life sentence on Monday for the murder of her husband.
Nancy Crampton Brophy will have to wait no less than 25 years before being able to apply for parole, explained to her a judge of a court in Oregon, in the north-west of the United States.
The writer, specializing in sentimental novels with titles as evocative as “Hell in the heart” or “The bad husband”, was found guilty on May 25 of the murder of Daniel Brophy.
Looking for inspiration for his books.
During her trial, she had denied in block, ensuring that the video surveillance images where she appeared near the crime scene simply showed her looking for inspiration for her books.
Nancy Crampton Brophy was in financial trouble when she shot her husband twice in the heart in June 2018 at the cooking school where he worked, prosecutors say.
Students had found Daniel Brophy, 63, on the floor of a classroom.
His wife had been arrested in September of that year, and had been in pre-trial detention ever since.
