Bride-To-Be Stabbed Fiancé To Death Hours Before Their Wedding

A would-be bride accused of driving a knife through her fiancé's heart on their wedding day last year has been convicted of murder.

A jury in Allentown, Pennsylvania found Na Cola Franklin guilty of first-degree murder on Thursday, according to reports. Prosecutors said Franklin and her fiancé, 36-year-old Billy Brewster, got into an argument early in the morning on August 11, the day they were supposed to be married.

Police said they found Brewster bleeding from his chest shortly after 2am in the home they shared with three children.

Defense attorney John Waldron says Brewster went home to their Whitehall Township apartment drunk after an impromptu bachelor party. He claimed that Brewster attacked Franklin and then tried to leave with the couple's 9-month-old son.

Waldron argued Franklin, 32, grabbed a knife to protect her child. But prosecutors say that the child was not in danger, and claimed that Franklin showed no signs of being assaulted by Brewster. Brewster's cousin Nakia Kali and his wife Monique - who were staying at the home with his wife for the wedding - testified that Franklin was the one being violent, and they never saw Brewster hit her, The Morning Call reported.
