Nancy Crampton Brophy will have to wait no less than 25 years before being able to apply for parole, explained to her a judge from a court in Oregon, in the northwestern United States.
The writer, specializing in sentimental novels with titles as evocative as “Hell in the heart” or “The bad husband”, was found guilty on May 25 of the murder of Daniel Brophy.
She had completely denied
During her trial, she had denied outright, assuring that the CCTV images where she appeared near the crime scene simply showed her looking for inspiration for her books.
Prosecutors say Nancy Crampton Brophy was in financial trouble when she shot her husband twice in the heart in June 2018 at the cooking school where he worked.
Students had found Daniel Brophy, 63, on the floor of a classroom.
His wife had been arrested in September of that year and had been in pre-trial detention ever since.
