This case looks to be a prime example of the defendent being his own worst enemy. From what I saw on the news and read in the newspaper, Mr. Engleton blamed everybody but himslef for the murder of his wife. She was his wife and not his property but Engleton never learned that so now he will have to spend the rest of his life in prison. At least he still has a life, he took away the life of his hard working wife Deidre with more than 30 stabs with a knife.
