starting today. this morning, anna trujillo will walk into court for opening statements. the 45-year-old accused of brutally murdering her on-again, off-again boyfriend, dr. stephen anderson last june, among other things, striking him with her high-heeled shoe. she called 911 shortly before 4:00 a.m. on june 9th. they say she answered the door covered in blood. inside they say they found 59-year-old anderson, a medical researcher at the university of houston, in a hallway and her stiletto right next to him. >> the defendant deceased appeared to have a ten puncture bounds to the head. 15 to 20 along his face, arms, and neck. >> reporter: according to police, the couple got into a fight at a nightclub after another man offered to by trujillo a drink. later police say the fight continued at anderson's apartment. according to court documents obtained by abc news,

prosecutors allege trujillo tried to stop him from breathing by applying pressure to his neck. trujillo, a mother of two and out on bail is pleading not guilty. claiming she was acting in self defense. >> stephen anderson grabbed her. they started wrestling. he got her into a hold. >> reporter: her lawyer is hoping to put her on the stand. >> i'm going to have limited time to try to get a jury to understand that though she's had problems in the past, she's a kind person at heart. >> reporter: if convicted, she could face from five years to life in prison. her lawyers say the evidence will show she was abused many times in the past. the key will be on the night in question whether she was justified in using the force she did against him to save herself. lara? >> thank you so much. dan, so much as been said about the fact that the weapon is a stiletto. how much legal significance is there? >> a lot for the defense. we're not talking about a gun. a knife. we're talking about an item that

someone has around, sitting around. her claim is that she needed to grab it to defend herself. i think that will be an integral part of the defense. >> prosecution says a lot more than a stiletto was used. >> well, that's right. they say that after the attack, and again, they say this was an attack. not self-defense, that he was smothered, so this was not just an attack with the stiletto in self-defense. there was more to it. she prevented him from breathing, et cetera. if that's the case, that is crucial. if they can show this is not just an attack with the stiletto, that he was smothered or strangled or something like that, it changes the entire dynamic or what the case is going to be about. >> you just heard her lawyer saying they're going to put her on the stand. do you think that's a good idea? >> depends on what kind of witness she is. look, it's incredibly risky to

put her on the stand. the case will come down to her testimony. the case will come down to, do the jurors believe her? or not? so, if she could be a good witness, absolutely. if she could be a problematic witness, this could be the defining moment that leads to a conviction. it will be an incredibly important moment. i'm surprised that the defense attorney is promising that so early. i might have waited, see how the case goes, then make the decision. but the defense attorney is promising that right at the outset. >> right out of the gate. thank you, dan. we turn to an outrageous scam. a minnesota couple on the run accused of taking thousands of dollars in public assistance to fuel a lavish lifestyle. mara schiavocampo here with that story. mara? >> the couple spent tens of thousands of public assistance money on spa massages. experts say this is likely not the only fraud they've committed. andrea and colin chisholm call themselves lord and lady chisholm.

but the only titles officials are giving them, fraudsteres. >> how do you suddenly create yourself as a lord? maybe they're watching "downton abbey" too much. >> reporter: though they lived a high life, in among other places, this minnesota million dollar mansion, minnesota authorities say they collected close to $170,000 in welfare, medical assistance and food stamps over a seven-year period. >> mr. chisholm, in particular, is a con man of the first order. he claimed he was a scottish heir. >> reporter: this morning, the self-proclaimed royals are on the run with their 7-year-old son. >> we believe they're outside the united states, someplace where it's warm. >> reporter: and police are on the hunt. >> i think we'll be able to figure out where they are because of certain trails. money trails. bank accounts. when you lead a life of fraud, you make mistakes. >> reporter: according to court documents, these alleged fraudsters received benefits from two states.

minnesota and then florida. for about a year, both states at the same time. authorities say they started receiving public assistance in 2005 after claiming they lived with andrea's mom in minneapolis. but investigators say their home was actually this $1.2 million yacht in florida. at one point, they claimed only $80 in their name. the criminal investigation shows millions in bank accounts. adding they spent $23,000 for plane tickets, cell phone bills and fine dining in just one month. authorities are determined to make them pay up in a different way. >> these rich folks ripped off the system. and i will assure you that this office is going to do every darn thing we can to make sure these people do hard time. >> reporter: now, i spoke with chisholm's ex-wife who says he was always a good salesperson. very good at convincing people.
