Michael, who was 43, was dating Danielle's mother, Kathleen. Kathleen passed away from cancer, and a few years later, Michael and Danielle began dating. Eventually, they were married and had two children. Their relationship was rocky from the start. Danielle alleges that throughout their 17-year marriage, Michael abused her. In 2019, Danielle learned that Mike had been unfaithful. She filed for divorce, but it was never finalized. Tension between Danielle and Michael came to a head January 11th, 2019, when Danielle fatally stabbed Michael with a kitchen knife. Danielle was charged with second degree murder and tampering with evidence. Investigators were immediately suspicious of Danielle when they learned that she waited 11 hours before reporting her husband's death. Suspicion grew when investigators learned that Danielle had changed her story twice, and grew even further when they discovered that Danielle had been on a dating app, Meet Mindful, hours after killing her husband. In June of 2022, Danielle was tried in Florida. Would jurors believe her story of self-defense? Or would they find, as the prosecution alleged, that Danielle murdered her husband so that she could start a new life?
