Thirty-seven-year old Kym Cano of Calexico, California claimed that for years her husband, California Highway Patrol Officer Frank Cano had been verbally and physically abusing her. Many people who knew Kym and Frank said it was Kym who had a fiery temper and was the abuser. Whatever the case, Kym hid in their master bedroom closet on December 4, 2006. When Frank came into the room she shot him in the head, killing him. She had used his own service weapon. What followed was four years of legal battles, two trials and a parade of witnesses to determine if Kym was an abused woman or a deceitful angry liar.
