After her husband died, Danielle Redlick did not call the police right away, and in the time that elapsed, she allegedly logged into an online dating app, according to the prosecution in the case, as Fox News reports. Danielle Redlick is also alleged to have reported her husband died from a heart attack. No evidence of a heart attack was found by the medical examiners. The Redlick home was also described as a “horror scene” with blood everywhere (via Fox News). “[E]vidence will show that, from the start, this defendant did everything she could to avoid responsibility for her actions,” the prosecution continued.
Danielle Redlick did stab her husband once in the shoulder but only after he threatened her life, based on the defense. They claim she then ran to barricade herself in the bathroom. Once she emerged, her husband had died. Danielle’s delay in calling the police was a shock response and a sign of trauma, according to her attorneys. As Danielle’s defense attorney Catherline Conline told the jury (via People), “She had no choice but to defend her life … Danielle reacted in confusion, despair, and trauma.”
