The Cross Examination of Nancy Brophy | dreading

[Yumimoon]

Dan seems like he was the dream husband and guy. I’d love to grow old and have chickens and a large garden with a man who brings me coffee and is just genuinely happy. And she just threw it away like it was nothing.

[ronnie]

Getting her coffee every morning is so sweet. Not a lot of people will gift partners consistent acts of love. Nancy didn’t deserve him.

the defense attorney woke up for five seconds, accused the prosecuting attorney of being aggro with the unloaded evidence gun this woman obviously used to murder her husband, got denied by the judge, and fell back asleep

[SundayGarfield]

If I had a husband like Dan, I would make sure that he is happy every day because people like him are so precious and deserve happiness.

I am loving this prosecutor: "Let's not get lost in the weeds here..." and when she asks "Am I being clear?", he responds, "Not really." LOL, he's so quick. Your commentary is excellent as always; you're so good at this!

[skylarsf]

This prosecutor is a beast ! He starts small and relatively non threatening, letting Nancy build her confidence, while subtly trapping her in her own inconsistencies.

[Pandidolod]

I found it telling she described his food cart as Dan "selling crap on the cart." What a bitter woman.

[chrischurch]

I knew she needed life in prison when she mentioned putting flour in an omelette.

[zaxxya]

I'm getting the impression (may be wrong!!) that this prosecutor is intentionally making small mistakes in his questions knowing that she'll get agitated and show the jury just how much of a superiority complex she has

[flakeobsidian]

when the prosecutor asked “is that the end of the story” i felt it in my bones

[bleedingheartexpat]

I was due to take his class the next semester, which was only weeks away when he was murdered. I was so excited to learn about mycology from him because he was so knowledgeable on the subject; He was such a larger-than-life sort of figure in the school.

Everyone was devastated by the loss, and it was especially clear how much it affected the school’s founder, who continued on doing an excellent job but was visibly grief-stricken after the incident. RIP Chef, and I will always be selfishly angry at Nancy for stealing my opportunity to learn from you.

[jackw]

The prosecution acted dumb to get her to react that way. Brilliant move because a narcissist can’t stop showing that they’re right and everyone else is wrong.

[emah]

Her mask melts off little by little and I love it. She started out so chipper and giggly. She ended humbled, quiet, and unable to maintain the facade. It's fucking great.

[CrisM]

This is petty of me, but I couldn't help but notice that she implied that flour is a usual ingredient in an omlette and I feel sorry for anyone who had her cooking. I also feel sorry for the police officer who had to read her novels in order to know that she wrote about hiding things inside house appliances. Overall, the amount of work the police and prosecutor put into this case is commendable.

[Ridesharereflections]

The prosecutor does a great job of letting her showcase her narcissism to the jury. He even let’s her feel like she’s winning cause he knows that would make her keep babbling. The smartest part was asking her questions purposely suggesting the wrong answer so she would correct him with over detailed answers. Brilliant!!

[isabellavalencia]

She is determined to disagree with every single thing the prosecutor says

[WobblesandBean]

Hearing Dan's son in the victim statement was BRUTAL. He said that when Nancy met Dan, Dan was still married to his mother. Her only response regarding the marriage was "I can fix that".

He goes on to explain that she forced him to take a second job so she could "pretend to be a writer", and how she lost her catering business because she'd refused to pay her employees and engaged in tax evasion.

Sounds like a real peach, don't she?

[QueenOfTheNorth]

“Did you literally just say that you labeled the box for the police’s benefit?” 😂😂😂

[heyitsalannaluv]

She really said "since I believe I didn't kill my husband" like that gave it away to me when I first heard that ..this old lady is a vile person
