Prosecutor: Man propped dead wife on sofa in front of kids

Lots to digest in this story. Za'zell. William Wallace. Weekend at Bernie's vibe. Bolded parts for lulz.

Quote

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- A Southern California man who killed his wife propped up her body on a sofa, told their children she was drunk and had them open Christmas presents in front of her body, a prosecutor told jurors at his murder trial.

“This Christmas story does not have a happy ending, and unfortunately this is not just a story, it is real life,” Heather Brown, senior deputy district attorney in Orange County, said Monday as trial began for William Wallace of Anaheim, the Orange County Register reported.

Za'Zell Preston, 26, was taking college classes in hopes of becoming a domestic violence counselor when she was killed in 2011 by a man who already had served jail time for beating her, the paper said.

The couple had gone to a neighbor's Christmas Eve party and a neighbor described hearing an argument later that night, Brown said.

Wallace told a member of Preston's family that “we were drinking and during the argument I tossed her around a bit,” the prosecutor said.

Brown said the next morning, Wallace dragged his wife's body from the bedroom to the living room couch, placed sunglasses on her and told the children: “Mommy ruined Christmas, she got drunk and ruined Christmas.”

Preston was slumped over on the couch when paramedics arrived. She left a newborn son and two daughters, who were then 3 and 8 years old.

Wallace's attorney argued that Preston died from injuries after she drunkenly tripped and fell into a glass table, shattering it.

“Mr. Wallace is being accused of something that is not his fault,” Heather Moorhead told jurors. “You will hear about a relationship that was full of arguing and yelling, but also a lot of love.”

Wallace, 39, could face up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder.

When is this coming to theaters near me?

In all seriousness, damn tragedy for the woman and the kids. Fuck this guy.

I realize it's California, but why has it taken a decade to prosecute Braveheart?

According to this article he was put in jail right after it happened:

i have the same question.

were they waiting/hoping that she would un-die to testify against him? i would assume it's a pretty easy case to prosecute. weekend at bernie's, with sunglasses!, christmas morning as the kids open gifts pretty much proves that the dude is beyond a menace to society.  but what do i know?
