Teacher Kills Husband With Knife, Hatchet And Sledgehammer, Claims Self-Defense...LOL
 

Teacher Found Guilty Of Hacking Husband To Death

Autopsy Shows Man Stabbed 21 Times

PONTIAC, Michigan -- A Michigan jury has reached a verdict in the murder trial of elementary school teacher Nancy Seaman.

Seaman, 52, was found guilty of first-degree murder in the death of her 57-year-old husband, Robert.

Seaman had claimed that she killed her husband in self-defense after he sliced her with a knife and chased her into the garage outside their Farmington Hills home.

Seaman testified that she was crouched in a ball on the floor when she saw her husband grab her leg. She said she felt the handle of a hatchet and "flung it at him and it swept him across the face." Seaman said she did not know how many times she hit her husband with the hatchet.

Oakland County Assistant Prosecutor Lisa Ortlieb called Seaman's testimony untruthful.

"This was a one-sided attack. It was a complete ambush," Ortlieb said. "Robert Seaman did not have one defensive mark on him."

Seaman testified that she had been a victim of domestic abuse for the past 30 years, but Ortlieb said, "There was no credible evidence to suggest that Nancy Seaman was a battered woman."

Police said Seaman killed her husband with a hatchet, knife and sledgehammer.

Autopsy results showed that Robert Seaman was stabbed 21 times and struck with the hatchet 15 times, the station reported.

Officers found the man's body on the afternoon of May 12 in the back of a Ford Explorer parked in the driveway of the couple's home in Farmington Hills. He had reportedly been dead for several days.

Nancy Seaman -- who was a fourth-grade teacher at the time -- said she didn't know her husband was dead until she came home from school during lunch hour.

Police said Seaman attempted to cover up the crime. Investigators believe the former teacher wrapped her husband's body in a tarp, secured it with duct tape and then placed it in the back of the SUV.

Prosecutors questioned the fact that Seaman bought the hatchet just prior to her husband's death.

"Justice was served," said Ortlieb.

i CAN see how it could be self defense. as in he tries and cuts her, she swings at him. and of coursei nstinct/madness takes over and she keeps going. some peopel cant control themselves.

BUT.. he had no defense wounds. so..hm?
