49-year-old Glenna Duram may have thought she had it all figured out when she shot her husband Martin to death and meticulously cleaned up the crime scene.  After all, there were no witnesses present inside the house when she fired five times back in May 2015.  Or, was there?  No matter how well-planned her attack was, she couldn't have predicted the end of the story.

Glenna had left several suicide notes but was quoted by investigators as responding “I know for a fact I didn’t kill my husband” after she was notified she was on the suspect list.  She also initially denied writing the notes, but expert handwriting analysis confirmed she had.  Police conducted with the couple’s children from previous marriages who indicated the two had a love-hate relationship.A Michigan prosecutor tried to use Bud’s phrases as evidence in the trial after Martin’s parents were able to capture them on tape, but a judge dismissed it.  It wouldn’t be until much later that Bud’s words became pivotal to the case, and were seriously considered by jurists.  Glenna, now fully recovered, is due to be sentenced on August 28th the murder and a felony firearm charge.
