David Tronnes “had spent thousands of dollars on renovations and had hopes of appearing on the reality television show, ‘Zombie House Renovations,’" prosecutors said.
A jury convicted a Florida man of first-degree murder Wednesday in the 2018 strangling and beating death of his wife after she refused to appear on a home renovation reality TV show, prosecutors said.
David Tronnes, 55, killed his wife, Shanti Cooper-Tronnes, on April 24, 2018, in the couple’s home in the Orlando neighborhood of Delaney Park, the State Attorney’s Office for the Ninth Judicial Circuit said in a statement Wednesday.
She chose poorly. Don't tolerate abusive behavior. It's a sign of something.
This guy's obviously the problem, and not her, but get away from crazy people for ducks sake. The crazy is not all there is. It's just the label.
She did NOT deserve to die, not saying that. But she might have lived if she had had hard boundaries of tolerable behavior. If this was the first time he acted out, then I'm sorry for judging, it couldn't be helped. But I don't think so.
75% of women killed by intimate partners are killed when they attempt to leave or after they have left. Getting away is in no way, shape, or form a path to safety.
