Wanda Stanley took the witness stand in her own defense during her murder trial in Henry County Superior Court, Thursday, detailing alleged abuse at the hands of her husband, John Stanley, Sr.
Her attorney maintains that she shot and killed her 45-year-old husband in self-defense. John Stanley was found dead in his SUV, in College Park, on Dec. 26, 2008. His wife has admitted to the killing.
