Jury Seated in Trial of Wife Charged with Killing Paraplegic Husband

A jury was seated on Monday in the trial of an Ellicott City woman who is accused of killing her paraplegic husband in February of 2011.

Nancy Fleming Molony, 53, was charged with second-degree murder after a police investigation found that her husband, Kevin Patrick Molony, 51, died from an overdose of oxycodone, a prescription painkiller. Molony was found dead inside his home on the 4000 block of Chariots Flight Way in Ellicott City.

Molony was a quadriplegic since a car collision in 2007 and was being cared for by family members and nurses, according to police.

Initially there was no ruling of foul play, but after further testing, the police ruled his death a homicide and later charged his wife.

On Monday, a 12 person jury was seated and opening statements in the case are scheduled for Tuesday morning, according to Wayne Kirwan, a spokesperson for the Howard County state's attorney's office.
