Amanda Chapin, 50, of Monroe, was charged with attempted first-degree manslaughter on December 28 in Lafayette County after she attempted to kill her husband Gary Chapin, 70, who survived but fell into a coma for four days.
Authorities said she poisoned Chapin three times during July and August by putting barbiturates in his coffee, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

According to the complaint, she poisoned her spouse with drugs used to slaughter animals for the first time less than three weeks after the quitclaim deed to the home was authorized.
In August, the third time her husband ingested the toxin, he fell into a coma that lasted four days. A blood test revealed that the barbiturates that were in his bloodstream indicated that they were the same drugs that were used to kill the animals.
