14 DAY TRIAL // The trial under way that has Kate Knight, a 28-year-old woman, convicted for attempted murder against her husband, Lee Knight, 37 of age, will be started soon. The jury found that the evidence was enough to send her into custody for sentencing on a future date, to be announced after the pre-sentence reports.
The method that Kate used was that of lacing her husband's curry and wine with anti-freeze, on their seventh wedding anniversary. The result of her action is that Lee Knight is now blind and deaf, while having suffered from kidney failure and brain damage. She was heard by a neighbor planning to pay off the debts that kept adding one to another, from the 250,000 pounds life insurance she were to receive after his death.
Mr. Knight survived, though, but spent 16 weeks in a coma, starting with April 2005. He is now ready to testify against Mrs. Knight, but is in terrible condition, after just being through surgery to restore some of his hearing. The man has just heard that the police have found on the PC that the family owned some reference to an article about what the effects anti-freeze has on a human body after ingesting it, including what the lethal dosage was. Apparently, his wife had documented the murder attempt using Google. I guess this is a good example of how important cookies sent by the search engines and all the sites are.
"I lost my job, my house, everything I worked for and, worst of all, my son. [?] I have hardly any independence any more - I need to have somebody with me all the time. I don't think I'll ever be able to work again," Peter Bate of the Staffordshire Police quoted Lee, in a statement read outside court.
