Shell casings of a Glock 9mm handgun were found at the crime scene. The casings matched the type of gun used. Prosecutors claimed that Nancy Brophy swapped out the barrel of the gun she used to murder her husband. And then tried to get rid of it.
She was accused of following her husband to work. And shooting him before he entered the building. At the time of the shooting, traffic cameras caught her car on the streets near the culinary school.
Nancy Brophy’s attorney argued that the couple had solved their financial problems by cashing out some of Daniel’s retirement savings plan. And she had no reason to kill him.
The defense also claimed that she made her online gun purchase as research for a novel. And it was a coincidence that she was nearby when the murder occurred working on her book.
The “How to Murder Your Husband” author also penned a series of novels including “The Wrong Husband” and “The Wrong Cop.”
After the verdict was announced the chef’s mother said she felt justice was finally served after 3 years. Sentencing is set for June 13th.
