Nancy Brophy, romance novelist who wrote "How to Murder Your Husband," sentenced to life in prison for killing her husband

A self-published romance novelist — who once wrote an essay titled "How to Murder Your Husband" — has been sentenced to life in prison in the fatal shooting of her husband four years ago. Nancy Crampton Brophy was convicted last month in the 2018 killing of her chef husband, Chef Daniel Brophy.

Judge Christopher Ramras, who presided over the trial, said Crampton Brophy will be considered for parole after 25 years, KOIN-TV reported.

The sentencing included impact statements from Daniel Brophy's family members and a former Oregon Culinary Institute student. Crampton Brophy did not make a statement before the sentence is imposed.
