Another good reason why you shouldn't put the defendant on the stand when she's accused of stabbing her husband 193 times:

Wright contended that her weeklong cover-up -- when she bleached and repainted the house and told people that her husband had disappeared after a fight -- was a symptom of trauma-induced delusions that he was still alive even though he was buried in their backyard.

"It was cleaning," said Wright. "I thought it was dirt and I had to make the house clean because Jeff was going to be mad."

You think she's going to get off? It's Texas. She's getting the needle.
