Mrs. Wright Commits Murder

     "Miss Bonbarro?" exclaims Amanda, my assistant. "Yes, what's wrong Amanda?" "Well, there are two women downstairs that insist on talking to you". "Insist? Send them up". "Yes ma'am". As I take a seat at my desk, I wondered what's this going to be about. I never had anyone demand to see me. As I was taking off my jacket, the two women entered my office. They began to tell me who they were and why they were here after apologizing for the disturbance they might have caused downstairs. Mrs. Hale started the conversation saying how much she and Mrs. Peters needed my help. They wanted me to talk to a woman by the name of Minnie Wright. I wasn't really sure if I should get involve with this matter knowing that this woman may be going to prison and the sheriffs have took her in. The women go on by saying that they know this woman may have issues and need someone to talk to. I told them if they could get the sheriffs to bring her to my place of work then I'll be sure to talk to Mrs. Wright. Mrs. Peters says "I can definitely talk my husband into doing that. It will not be a problem." Mrs. Hale then says "Mrs. Wright may have killed her husband, but there is some reasoning behind this. I just know it." I asked Mrs. Hale why she said that and Mrs. Hale tells me of Mrs. Wright life before she married Mr. Wright. She says Mrs. Wright was so beautiful and lively and that she wore pretty clothes. Mrs. Hale begins to speak in a stronger voice, saying how much she wish she would've visit Mrs. Wright before all this happen. Mrs. Peters began to soothe Mrs. Hale. We finished the conversation and they left the office.

     On the next day Mrs. Peters' husband, the Sheriff, along with other authorities escorted Mrs. Wright up to my office. I told him that everything would be okay and I asked him to sit downstairs until me and Mrs. Wright were done talking. I shut the door and sat down across from Mrs. Wright. I actually thought it would be hard for her to talk to me, seeing her in handcuffs. Mrs. Wright was open as if she had been waiting all her life to talk to someone like me. She says her and Mr. Wright argued all the time over everything you could possibly think of. She also said Mr. Wright thought she could never do anything right, which is what constantly tore their relationship apart. She never sung too good, so she stopped singing. She never clean well, so she stopped cleaning. She never dressed appropriately, so she stopped wearing pretty clothes. She began crying, saying that he even killed the one thing she adored. "What did he kill, Mrs. Wright?" "My bird." I saw anguish in her eyes. "When did he kill your bird?" "The day of his death." She explained the situation.

     "John had came in from doing his usual daily duties. We argued about something so small I really can't even tell you what it was about. All I know is he grabbed the bird cage and just threw it. When I realized my bird was dead I was so shocked. The bird's neck was just broken. I silently cried that whole night. I knew John didn't like my canary but I just didn't think he would get angry enough to kill it. I stayed up that whole night." I thought to myself, she had to kill this man. She told everyone else she was asleep that night. She asked me if she could leave now. Of course I said yes. I messaged my assistant, telling her the sheriffs could come up. Mr. Peters asked me did I find out any important information. I told him the truth. Mrs. Wright did not have a good relationship with her husband. He killed her bird the day of his death.

     After knowing everything Mrs. Wright shared with me I began to see pass her being a woman who murdered her husband. Now I know exactly why Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters have so much compassion for this woman. They know that she killed her husband, but because of the circumstances that revolve around her unhappy marriage. Mrs. Wright is not at all insane, she is just a woman that committed a impulsive crime. As I think of Mrs. Wright, I see a woman beyond scorn. She was content with being unhappy and hidden her pain. Mrs. Wright knows that even if she goes to prison today it'll be the best thing she has heard for a long time because she has already been in prison emotionally.
