Texas, 2003. Thirty-four-year-old Jeff Wright is murdered by his wife. On this January night in Houston, Susan Wright —a woman described as beautiful, meek and mild-mannered —stabbed her husband not once, not twice, but 193 times. Was he an abusive spouse? Maybe? Did she tie him to the bed before plunging a knife into his body 193 times? Possibly. This case has everything: deception, abuse, mental illness, drugs and yes, murder. Or was it a last ditch effort of self-defense by a battered wife? This is Susan Wright. Blue-eyed Blonde? Or Blackened Heart?
