BOCA RATON, FL – A Florida woman accused of stabbing her husband to death allegedly claimed he fell on the knife.
According to the Boca Raton Police Services Department, Boca Raton Fire Rescue and Boca Raton Police responded to a medical emergency along the 3300 block of Jaywood Terrace in Boca Raton, Florida, around 10:30 a.m. on Monday, January 13.
Police said 58-year-old Terry Taylor knocked on a neighbor’s door and asked him to call police because her husband, 67-year-old Stanley Taylor, had “fallen on a knife.”
Stanley was found inside the residence suffering from a wound to his torso. He was transported to an area hospital and while receiving medical treatment, he stated his wife stabbed him and tried to kill him, according to police.
According to court records, the victim told medical personnel “the b*tch stabbed me.”
Boca Raton Police detectives responded to the scene to further investigate.
During questioning, Terry said that she and Stanley engaged in a physical altercation during an argument. At one point, she explained they were both struggling over a wooden cane, so she reached for a separate cane nearby and “went at him with it.”
Furthermore, in describing the cane she had grabbed, it was identified as an illegal brass cane with a sharp point on the tip. She advised she may have caused his injury by striking him with the cane.
After obtaining a search warrant for the apartment, a detailed examination of the brass cane led to the discovery that the grip could be unscrewed from the shaft, revealing an attachment to a blade. It was apparent that the blade had been wiped, police said.
During the course of this investigation, Stanley succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.
As a result, Terry Taylor was charged with Second-Degree Murder and was transported to the Palm Beach County Jail.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
