Air Force Reserve Maj. Andre McDonald smiles at family members before the start of his murder trial Monday. McDonald is accused of killing his wife, Andreen McDonald, in February 2019.Three days before testimony was to start in his murder trial, Maj. Andre McDonald told his in-laws that he stomped his wife to death after the pair argued following a meeting with a tax preparer, when he realized she was cutting him out of an ownership stake in her company.
In his opening statement, defense attorney John A. Convery acknowledged McDonald killed his wife but said he didn’t intend for it to happen.
