Portland romance novelist accused of murdering husband seeks 1-year trial delay

per article:

Christine Mascal, an attorney representing some of Daniel Brophy’s family, said her clients want to go ahead with the trial, which is scheduled to begin March 14 and anticipated to last at least seven weeks.

“Get it going so the family can have an ending to the story,” Mascal said.

Ramras made no decision in court but said he would rule on the motion soon. In the meantime, preliminary jury selection will begin Friday, when potential jurors begin to fill out questionnaires.

@ElementalLaura - was wondering "which" Friday they might mean in the article - on the 4th or 11th of March?
TIA!

 

[Niner]

@ElementalLaura - Any new court dates for this case? I have 3/14/22 as the trial date. Any hearings before than?

TIA!

 

[Niner]

Bumping up as trial is supposed to start on Monday the 14th.

@ElementalLaura seems to be "missing" - can anyone else access the Oregon court site? You must search under the name of cramptonbrophy.

TIA!

Jury selection begins for Brophy trial, novelist charged with murdering her chef husband

March 15, 2022
PORTLAND, Ore. — Jury selection begins this week for Nancy Crampton-Brophy's trial.
[.....]
According to the documents, investigators say, prior to the murder, Nancy purchased a kit from GhostGuns.com, along with other gun accessories online. The investigators say the accessories match the bullets that killed Daniel.

Investigators also claim that Nancy lied about where she was the morning Daniel's body was found. Investigators say Nancy first told them she was at home, but surveillance footage caught her driving her minivan near OCI shortly before Daniel's body was discovered.

Additionally, investigators say Nancy lied about insurance, saying Nancy told them she'd taken out a $40,000 life insurance policy on Daniel, but that they later discovered she was the beneficiary on several policies valued at more than $350,000.
[.....]
The trial is expected to start April 4 and a court official says it may last until May 20.

For someone who authored so many books (and presumably had to do a lot of research for them), you’d think she would have covered her tracks better. But maybe her books were just as bad. Lol
