A self-published romance writer who once wrote an essay titled “How to Murder Your Husband” is now on trial for the alleged murder of her husband.
Nancy Crampton-Brophy, 71, has been accused of fatally shooting her husband, Daniel Brophy, 63, in June of 2018. She was arrested and charged with the murder three months after his death, reports The Associated Press.
However, despite the title of her essay, a judge has ruled the online post can’t be presented as evidence against her, reports NBC News.
