Nearly five years after the wife of a former Westfield police detective was allegedly shot and killed by her husband, his first-degree murder trial began Feb. 21 in Hampden County Superior Court.

Brian Fanion, 59, has been accused of killing his wife Amy, who was 51 at the time, on May 8, 2018, in their home on North Road in the Wyben community of Westfield.

Investigators initially believed Amy took her own life just past noon that day, after an argument between the two over his impending retirement from the Westfield Police Department, where he had served for 34 years.

However, as investigators began examining the fatal gunshot wound, they came to believe that Brian had pulled the trigger, based not only on forensic evidence, but after discovering that he was having an affair.

I'm astonished that they actually turned in one of their own.

Their daughter is siding with the father.

...the couple’s daughter Victoria Fanion testified that her mother had a temper and a short fuse, and had what was described in earlier testimony as the “Amy face.”

“You could just tell by looking at her,” Victoria Fanion said, adding that she supports her father.

During Victoria Fanion’s testimony Thursday, under questioning by Brown, she also said that while her mother tried to appear happy and was not a “sharer” to those outside her immediate family, she wore her emotions on her face.

When Brown asked her “if it was her [Amy’s] way or the highway” and if “she didn’t get her way, she would get upset,” Victoria Fanion said yes.

Under questioning by Brown, Victoria Fanion also said that her father had never yelled at her.

So is the daughter implying her mom killed herself?

It sounds like she is going with the narrative the defense is putting out there.

I just dont understand what the "Amy face" had to do with anything.

The daughter is in denial.

Yeah, I don't get that either. I mean, we all have a 'face', so what does that even mean?
