Sandra and Peter Franklin
Did you see 48 Hours this past weekend? Sandra Franklin claims she killed her husband, Peter, in self-defense.
I personally didn’t believe Sandra’s story whatsoever. I suspect she planned the murder, took control of Peter’s finances and his life, and wanted him out of the picture. I believed Peter’s ex-wife that Peter was not one to lay a finger on anyone and Sandra’s story that he used his key knife to go after her was ridiculous.
Here is what I believe: Sandra convinced Peter for whatever reason that he should sign over all his assets to her. She convinced him to go into pain management, so she could cabbage a lot of money, before axing him out of the picture…Creepy, I know. But that is how I see it.
She got justice with her sentence– 15 years to life! I wouldn’t trust that woman to stand behind me for even a blink of an eye. She is dangerous from my point of view.
But what about the investigation into his practice? It does sound as though he was over-prescribing and this is an extremely serious form of professional misconduct, enough for him to lose his licence. Those sorts of drugs – pain medications – are very addictive and he could have been taking them himself which would account for his violent behaviour.
