Danielle's lawyer, Catherine Conlon, argued that the 48-year-old stabbed her then-65-year-old husband in self defense, while state prosecutor Sean Wiggins painted a more violent picture — describing the couple's home after Michael's killing as a "horror scene" in his opening remarks live-streamed by Law & Crime Channel.
"The evidence will show that, from the start, this defendant did everything she could to avoid responsibility for her actions," Wiggins said in his opening statement, alleging that Danielle had tried to clean the scene sometime in the 11 hours that passed between Michael's stabbing death and Danielle's first 911 call to "avoid responsibility."
