Traumatized wife s comments will be allowed in murder trial, judge rules article
TAMPA, Fla. - Back in May of 2018, a 911 call was made from a Riverview home and in the background, you could hear a hysterical Sabrina Hendley. Prosecutors say she had just shot her husband Mark, and she did it, they say, because he didn’t apologize to her father during an argument.
Mike Irwin, Hendley’s father, remembers it well. She kept saying, ‘Mark, it will be alright,’ and, ‘We can work through this; I m sorry, I m sorry,’ recalled Irwin.
But during a virtual hearing, her defense attorney said the now-43-year-old was not in the right state of mind to be interrogated, much less give her consent. Todd Foster says Hendley had been drinking and was clearly traumatized.
