According to Defence counsel, Mr. Brush's evidence at trial would have been that she got the knife and that her husband had his hand on the knife and that he stuck it in himself but was not successful and that she then manoeuvred the knife so the fatal wounds could be inflicted. She had stabbed herself five times in the abdomen and was transported to General Hospital to be treated for her wounds. Her wounds were not considered to be life threatening.
