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.

    It’s not so simple and easy to get away from an abusive partner. They often put on a fake persona when meeting a new partner for the first time.

    You might not realize how screwed up someone is until some time later, and it’s usually after they’ve sunk their claws into you.

    If they’ve managed to work their tactics on people that should be your support network, it makes it even harder to leave and get help. The more skilled someone is at manipulating, the harder it is to see them as they truly are.

    This woman didn’t deserve to die, and the husband is clearly a threat to society if he kills someone over a TV show.
