Oregon romance novelist who wrote ‘How to Murder Your Husband’ goes on trial in fatal shooting of longtime spouse in Portland
Loving wife or a cold-blooded killer?
Teams of prosecutors and defense attorneys painted two drastically divergent portraits of Oregon romance novelist Nancy Crampton Brophy as opening statements for the first murder jury trial in Multnomah County Circuit Court in more than two years began Monday.
Crampton Brophy has remained in custody since she was arrested Sept. 5, 2018, facing a single count of murder in the fatal shooting of her husband, chef Daniel Brophy, 63, as he prepped for work at the Oregon Culinary Institute in Southwest Portland around 7:30 a.m. June 2.

Before the jury entered the room, Circuit Judge Christopher Ramras ruled prosecutors cannot introduce as evidence an essay titled “How to Murder Your Husband” that Crampton Brophy wrote in 2011 while applying to a writer’s group.
