RALEIGH, N.C. – Defence attorneys are scheduled to make opening statements today in the trial of a Canadian man charged in the 2008 strangulation death of his wife.
Prosecutors wrapped up their initial presentation late Wednesday, alleging that Bradley Graham Cooper killed Nancy Cooper in anger over her intention to leave him and take the children.
Cooper told police his wife went for a jog on the morning of July 12, 2008, and never returned. A two-day search found Nancy Cooper’s body not far from the couple’s home.
The Coopers relocated to Cary, N.C., from Canada in 2001 when Brad Cooper took a job at Cisco Systems in Morrisville.
He studied computer science at the University of Calgary and took graduate business courses at North Carolina State University.
