Almost 16 hours after Martha Freeman’s husband was strangled and beaten to death in the couple’s upscale south Nashville home, she finally reported his death to police.

If her decision to wait was puzzling, so was the explanation she gave police.

Freeman claimed her lover, an illegal Mexican immigrant who was living in her closet, killed her husband.

But prosecutors dispute Martha Freeman’s version of the events that led to her husband’s April 2005 slaying. They are expected to outline their theory during opening statements in the 41-year-old widow’s upcoming murder trial.

Freeman and 36-year-old Rahael Rocha-Perez, her former lover, each are charged with first-degree murder in the husband’s violent bludgeoning. If convicted, they face life in prison.

Jury selection begins Monday afternoon in Davidson County Circuit Court.

Next time I bump into Randy Travis in the grocery store, I’ll have to hand him this one as a song suggestion.

Thanks, Keith.

    Yup, don’t look none too good for the lying, cheating, piece of white trash.

    Ooopps, wrong persona.

    The Butler did it.

    In the old days, you could get an American to live in your closet and beat your husband to death. Nowadays, this is work Americans will no longer do. Thus immigration is good for the US, providing labor for jobs Americans refuse or are unwilling to do.

    Geez…who beat her to death ? Oh..sorry ! She’s still on trial so, she just looks like that. I bet the illegal writes a song and makes a mill..

    “The 2-by-8-foot storage space contained a foam pad, pillows, blankets, three loaves of bread, a Nintendo GameBoy, a radio, and several adult magazines.”

    This actually reads like a typical male reply to the question, “You are forced to live in a 2-by-8-foot room. You can only take about a dozen items with you. What items do you take into your 2×8 room?”

    What do I take in a 2×8 room? Hopefully a better looking woman than that.

    Gives new meaning to the phrase “coming out of the closet”.
