twitterWoman kills husband over gambling money
Monday, Dec. 27, 1999 | 10:56 a.m.
LIBERTY, Mo. -- An Overland Park, Kan., woman was sentenced to 15 years in prison after she admitted to stabbing her husband 75 times for not giving her more gambling money.
During testimony in Clay County Court last week, Bonnie Knapp, 50, described her rocky 16-month marriage to Joseph Knapp, 85.
Prosecutors said the crime occurred on Aug. 22, 1997, after the Knapps and a friend had left Harrah's casino.
Bonnie Knapp allegedly was angry because her husband would not give her any more money. She kicked him out of the car, then stabbed him and drove off.
