Day 1 of the ‘How to Murder Your Husband’ Writer's Trial
[quote] Crampton Brophy was arrested in September 2018 for the murder of her husband, Oregon Culinary Institute Instructor Daniel Brophy. Brophy was found fatally shot inside OCI on the morning of June 2, 2018.
[quote] In 2011, Nancy Crampton Brophy wrote a blog post titled “How to Murder Your Husband” for a writers workshop. The blog post received a lot of attention around the time of Crampton Brophy’s arrest. However, at the start of the trial Monday, Judge Christopher Ramras announced the blog post would be excluded from the trial’s evidence.
[quote] In late 2017, Nancy Crampton Brophy began researching ghost guns online. The prosecution says this was one of the first steps she took toward plotting her husband’s murder, but the defense said it was part of her research for a new novel she was planning — one about a woman in an abusive relationship who wanted to buy a gun but couldn’t because she’d been previously hospitalized for depression.

Why do so many people do this? They will write books, plays, blogs, etc. A blueprint of the murder they are going to or already have commit: Erik Menendez, who killed his parents in 1989, may have earlier written screenplay about a son who killed his parents.

Days after the shooting, Crampton-Brophy had allegedly also asked cops to provide her with a letter saying she wasn’t a suspect in her husband’s murder so she could collect on his life insurance policy worth $40,000.
According to court documents, authorities later learned Crampton-Brophy stood to gain $1.5 million from her husband’s death.
Real subtle.

With a face like that she should've done the world a favour and topped herself.

I believe my ex partner once worked in their house as a tradesman.
I remember him telling me how nice their home was and how one of us needed to figure out how to get into the romance novel gig.

Crampton Brophy sounds like a law firm that didn’t hire Jews until 1997.

I'd have to be pretty stupid to write a book about killing and then kill him the way I described in my book. I'd be announcing myself as the killer. I'm not stupid.
