Summary
To friends and neighbors, Susan and Jeff Wright appeared to be a picture-perfect couple living the suburban dream in Houston, Texas. Susan, a waitress, and Jeff, a carpet salesman, married in 1998 while she was pregnant with their first child. But behind closed doors, their marriage was anything but perfect.
On January 13, 2003, Susan tied Jeff to their bed under the pretense of rekindling romance. What followed was a shocking act of violence—Susan stabbed her husband 193 times. She later claimed years of abuse drove her to snap. But prosecutors painted a very different picture: a cold, calculated killer.
This case gained national attention not only for the sheer brutality of the murder, but for the dramatic courtroom reenactment where the prosecution staged the murder on a bed brought into court.
Was it self-defense or a carefully planned execution? Join us as we unravel the infamous case of Susan Wright—one of the most shocking examples of domestic violence, deception, and deadly revenge.
