A jury has found Susan Wright, a former topless dancer and mother of two, guilty of murder for tying her husband to a bed and stabbing him 193 times, then burying him in their back yard. Prosecutors contended that Wright, 27, killed her husband, Jeffrey, in the couple’s northwest Harris County home last year in a scheme to benefit from his $200,000 life insurance policy. Wright maintained that she was acting in self-defense against a husband who had abused her for years. On the night of Jan. 13, 2003, she testified, he raped and beat her after she confronted him about his cocaine problem. When he grabbed a butcher knife from the nightstand, she said, she wrestled it away and defended herself.
