Claire Bridger, a 64-year-old Norfolk resident, has been accused of stabbing her estranged husband and leaving him with life-threatening injuries after learning he had their two rescue dogs put down.
The incident took place after Bridger drove to the address where her husband, Keith Bridger, was staying to ask him to pay for the animal’s next mediation session.
Instead, jurors were told, the conversation took a devastating turn when she discovered that both dogs had been euthanized without her knowledge.
