Elmwood Park, NJ: Elmwood Park woman charged with killing husband regarded him as a burden after he had stroke, prosecutor says

ELMWOOD PARK — Jurors at the trial of a Bergen County woman accused of suffocating her ailing husband and trying to do the same to her two children must consider whether she was greedy or insane.
Lawyers laid out the arguments during opening statements at Jenny Tran's trial Thursday in Hackensack.
A Bergen County prosecutor told jurors Tran regarded Minh Trung Tran as a financial burden after he suffered a stroke.
The Record of Woodland Park reports defense lawyer Brian Neery told jurors the 51-year-old Elmwood Park resident's plan was to kill her family and herself so they could "go to a better world."
She faces up to life in prison if convicted in the 2009 slaying or confinement in a psychiatric facility if found not guilty by reason of insanity.
The trial resumes on Tuesday.
