Attorneys rested Tuesday during the trial of a man prosecutors said killed his wife, then dragged her body to the basement and concealed her under a pile of firewood for two days before cutting his own throat. Anthony Harrison's attorneys asked the judge Tuesday to consider second-degree murder as a verdict rather than the first-degree charges he faces in the stabbing death of his wife, Laura Harrison. Assistant Public Defender Kim Messer offered a new perspective of the June 4, 2016, struggle between Laura and Anthony Harrison, claiming Laura Harrison intentionally provoked her husband so police would remove him from the couple's McHenry home. "There is one person in control of the relationship – that is Miss Harrison," Messer said.
