Fox Nation host Nancy Grace dedicated Friday's episode of "Crime Stories" to a disturbing case involving a California father who is charged with killing his wife and propping her body up on a sofa next to their children as they opened presents on Christmas morning.
Troubling details of the 2011 incident emerged during Wallace's murder trial earlier this year, where senior deputy district attorney Heather Brown told jurors that Wallace allegedly dragged his wife’s body from the bedroom to the living room after an argument that turned violent on Christmas Eve. Wallace reportedly placed his wife on the couch and put sunglasses over her eyes, the New York Post reported. Grace noted that Wallace called 911 but hung up the phone when the operator began to instruct him how to administer CPR. When paramedics arrived, Preston was reportedly slumped over on the couch, prosecutors said.More Related News
