"I pray for Brenda every day, and I hope that she can find peace and comfort."Agbley testified in his own defense at the trial, saying that he and his wife got in a fight over e-mails between her and another man. He said she grabbed scissors and he grabbed her neck.Police found Brenda Agbley dead on the couch after she didn't pick up her 7-year-old son from school. Jude Agbley was arrested days later at a Greyhound bus station in Detroit.Source: Pittsburgh Tribune Review
