Who is Patricia Hill?

Patricia Hill worked as a nurse for almost fifty years. A deeply religious person, she also taught at the Sunday school of the local church. Patricia had been married and divorced twice before, but when she met Frank Hill, she felt that things would be different this time around. The couple married in 2001 after seeing each other for a while. Initially, Frank was the ideal husband and helped her out around the house. But as their 17-year marriage progressed, things started to change.

Patricia later stated that Frank would spend an inordinate amount of time in the shed behind their house, which he called his “man cave.” Another issue the couple faced was Frank’s use of pornography. Even before their wedding, Patricia had found videotapes and magazines at Frank’s place. For Patricia, pornography was unacceptable. Frank promised to stay away from them, but she said that she caught him with pornography several times after that.

In June 2018, Patricia said she noticed a subscription for a porn channel on their cable bill, which she immediately canceled. When she came across the same thing the next month, she confronted Frank regarding the same on July 28, 2018. It was at this point that things took a turn. Patricia later told the police that she asked Frank to leave, but he didn’t. She stated that she kicked a table, knocking some of his things down before coming back to the house. Then, she went back to the shed with a .22-caliber handgun and shot Frank once in the leg and another time in the head.

Patricia then called 911 and admitted to shooting her husband. Frank was pronounced dead a little while later. Patricia was initially charged with capital murder. At her trial, she said that she did not remember arming herself with a gun. Her attorney claimed that she snapped, saying she dealt with depression for a long time. A psychologist stated that Patricia had an acute dissociative reaction to a stressful event, which led to her not being able to differentiate between right and wrong. The prosecution claimed that she deliberately shot and killed her husband after finding out about the subscription.
