David Tronnes “had spent thousands of dollars on renovations and had hopes of appearing on the reality television show, ‘Zombie House Renovations,’" prosecutors said.

A jury convicted a Florida man of first-degree murder Wednesday in the 2018 strangling and beating death of his wife after she refused to appear on a home renovation reality TV show, prosecutors said.

David Tronnes, 55, killed his wife, Shanti Cooper-Tronnes, on April 24, 2018, in the couple’s home in the Orlando neighborhood of Delaney Park, the State Attorney’s Office for the Ninth Judicial Circuit said in a statement Wednesday.

The show was “Zombie House Renovations” in case anyone was curious.
- Trying to make her a zombie for the show, what's the issue?
  
  Floridian method acting
  
  God it's morbid but this made me laugh so hard
The fuck
- I'm guessing he had some other issues aside from that.
  
  Probably some loose floorboards and bad sheathing.
There are reasons, and then there are REASONS

  What if she's trying to murder you?
  
  Checkmate, COMEDIAN.
Either these curtains go or you do.
Wow. That is crazy. Glad he is guilty.
- I think you mean, "Glad he was found guilty." I don't think you are glad he is guilty of killing someone.
- Glad he is guilty.
  
  you're glad he did it or just that he was convicted?
  
  Nothing like a little domestic homicide to perk up your friday
  
  Isn’t it the same thing? Innocent until proven guilty?
And we thought the "dinner is pizza" ad was stupid.
- What was that ad?
  
  The guy who got pissed at his wife for getting pizza for dinner. Any normal person would be like "hell yeah, pizza!"
I know the heart want what the heart wants but...

She chose poorly. Don't tolerate abusive behavior. It's a sign of something.

This guy's obviously the problem, and not her, but get away from crazy people for ducks sake. The crazy is not all there is. It's just the label.

She did NOT deserve to die, not saying that. But she might have lived if she had had hard boundaries of tolerable behavior. If this was the first time he acted out, then I'm sorry for judging, it couldn't be helped. But I don't think so.

Shit, I know I'm going to regret hitting "Post".
- 75% of women killed by intimate partners are killed when they attempt to leave or after they have left. Getting away is in no way, shape, or form a path to safety.

  Wow didn't know about this metric :(
  
  Gonna disagree with that. Just because the path to safety is also dangerous doesn’t mean it’s not the path to safety.
  
  People are sometimes forced to choose between two dangerous options.
- Gotta love 14 year olds who have complex issues All Figured Out.
  
  My Sims don't kill each other. How hard could it be in real life?
- Nice victim blaming you fucking psycho
- There's an easy way to prevent the deaths of women by their male partners! It's called "men don't kill their female partners." It's that easy. Try it sometime!
  
  Oh nice, thank you for solving the problem!
  
  Unfortunately you cannot control other’s actions, only your own. So obviously don’t hurt your partner, or anyone else for that matter, but also GTFO if you recognize abusive behavior in your partner.
- Shit, I know I'm going to regret hitting "Post".
  
  "Discard draft" was definitely the way to go and delete is still an option.
- It has nothing to do with the heart.
  
  Sigh. I really wish that people who don't know what they are talking about would just not post.
  
  I "escaped" my abusive marriage, just to watch my kids be abused by him for fifteen years. It's not a decision between good and bad. It's mostly a choice between bad and bad. Abuse leaves victims no good choices.
  
  Much of the time, the first definitive sign is the one that ends up with you dead.
  
  I've been in a largely invisible one-sided war for almost twenty years. I have a lot of resources many victims simply don't have, and still I'm stuck. The last thing any of us needs is an armchair referee telling us what we should be doing while stuffing metaphorical Cheetos up his nose.
- Permanently Deleted
- If you find yourself talking a lot to defend a prior statement maybe stop and consider it for a few minutes before posting.
- Bad take aside, this is Florida we're talking about.
