PORTLAND, OR — After 12 days, the prosecution presenting case the murder case against Nancy Crampton Brophy wrapped up. The trial picks up again next Wednesday when the defense starts. Crampton Brophy is a romance novelist accused of killing her husband, Daniel, a chef/instructor at the Oregon Culinary Institute, on June 2, 2018. She was arrested 3 months later. Much of the day's testimony came from Robert Azorr, an investigative accountant with the Portland Police Bureau. Azorr had testified that after examining two years of financial records belonging to the Brophys, he concluded that the couple mishandled their finances to the point where they were "flirting with foreclosure." Azorr highlighted extravagant vacations and frequent meals out as examples. Crampton Brophy's lawyer, Kristen Winemiller, tried to undercut Azorr's testimony by trying to poke holes in his assessment of their finances.
