HOUSTON (AP) - A jury Wednesday convicted a woman of murder for stabbing her husband 193 times, rejecting her claim that she acted in self-defense after years of abuse.
Susan Wright, 27, could get up to 99 years in prison. The sentencing phase was to begin in the afternoon.
Prosecutors said she killed Jeffrey Wright in 2003 to collect on his $200,000 life insurance policy.
Jeffrey Wright, 34, was found buried in the couple's back yard after Susan Wright's attorney reported the body to authorities.
Wright, a former topless dancer, testified that her husband beat her repeatedly and that right before he was killed, he raped her and threatened her with a knife. However, prosecutors said she filed her only domestic abuse report to police the day after the slaying.
