The author of a book titled “How to
Murder Your Husband” has began
serving time after her conviction for
murdering her husband.
According to reports, 71-year-old
Nancy Crampton Brophy was found
guilty of second-degree murder over
her chef husband Daniel Brophy’s
death.
A Portland jury of seven women and
five men found the Crampton Brophy
guilty of fatally shooting her 63-year-
old husband on 2 June, 2018, while he
prepped for work at the Oregon
Culinary Institute in Southwest
Portland.
Crampton Brophy began serving her
sentence this Monday. She will have to
wait 25 years before being able to
apply for parole.
Crampton Brophy’s essay was
published years before, in 2011, and
detailed various methods for
committing an untraceable killing and
professed her desire to avoid getting
caught.
Despite suggestions that the topic and
content of her writing could constitute
evidence in a trial about the murder of
a husband, Judge Christopher Ramras
excluded the essay.
During the trial, a prosecutor did
allude to the essay’s themes as
Crampton Brophy took to the stand.
The prosecution argued that Crampton
Brophy was motivated by money
problems and her husband’s life
insurance policy.
Crampton Brophy owned the same
make and model of gun used to kill her
husband and was seen on surveillance
camera footage driving to and from his
culinary institute.
Although the police never found the
murder weapon, prosecutors argued
that Crampton Brophy swapped out
the barrel of the gun used in the
shooting and then discarded it.
In Crampton Brophy’s defence,
lawyers said her ownership of the gun
parts was just part of the author’s
creative process and that Brophy may
have been murdered in a botched
robbery.
Crampton Brophy said she was only
near the culinary school by
coincidence as she had parked nearby
to work on her writing.
She also said she could not have been
motivated by money as their financial
problems at the time had been solved
by cashing in a chunk of Brophy’s
retirement savings plan.
After the murder, Crampton Brophy
was arrested in September 2018 and
has remained in custody ever since.
On hearing the verdict, she displayed
no visible reaction.

That's for her.


Here in Nigeria we all campaigning for our various political parties.

She executed her thought processes which landed her in jail. I believe she must have been fantasising about it through her writings. Really weird.
