Susan Lucille Wright, convicted of stabbing her husband to death in 193 Texas, and burying the body in a hole in the backyard of her house, she was released from jail last week on probation after spending 16 years locked up.
Wright, 44, of Houston, was released last Wednesday morning from Murray Unit in Gatesville, local and national media reported.
The woman, nicknamed the “Butcher with the Blue Eyes”, was convicted of the murder of Jeff Wright, 34 years old.
Upon leaving the prison, the woman refused to talk to the media that came to her house and asked to be left alone.
“I just want privacy. Please respect that, ”Wright said, as quoted by wpxi.com
“I’m sure all of you can understand, but don’t do this to my family,” added the American.
“Even if you do it to me, please don’t do it to them,” Wright asked.
The female was convicted in 2004 to 25 years. However, a judge found in 2009 that attorneys in the process rendered ineffective assistance in the guilty phase of the trial.
As a result of the foregoing, the Court ruled out five years of the prison term in a resentencing hearing in 2010.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles told ABC 13 that Wright will remain under intense supervision with a GPS device until 2024 when the sentence expires.
In addition, you will need to receive anger management counseling and will not be able to leave the state.
To commit the murder, the woman tied her husband to the bed with ties and other items on the night of January 13, 2003.
“According to the state, the night Jeff was murdered, (Susan) carried out an elaborate plan to seduce him so that, in anticipation of the sexual act, he would let him tie him to the bed,” the case documents indicate. “Once Jeff was tied up and found defenseless, she returned with a knife and, with unfathomable rage, brutally stabbed him over and over again,” added authorities.
The motive, according to prosecutors, was to keep the $ 200,000 of the man’s life insurance.
As part of the judicial process, the alleged pattern of sexual and physical abuse to which the woman was subjected by her husband also emerged.
The 2012 Lifetime movie “Blue-Eyed Butcher” enacts the moment when prosecutors showed the blood-filled mattress on which Wright committed the attack at trial.
