The elder daughter, now 18, testified in the trial and told the court that her parents were arguing after they returned home drunk from a neighbor's party on Christmas Eve 2011. She noted that the fight soon turned violent, alleging that Wallace shoved her mother into a glass table, leaving the disoriented woman with several lacerations on her body.
The killer husband then asked her then-8-year-old daughter to help pull the broken glass out of the woman's body before he dragged Preston into the bathroom and dropped her against the toilet seat, severely hitting her head.
Wallace, however, did not call 911 despite his wife's bleeding head injury, Insider noted.
The next day, on Christmas morning, Wallace moved to heave Preston’s corpse out to the living room before propping her up on the couch with sunglasses on. Her lifeless body stayed in a seating position on the couch while her daughters and newborn son opened their Christmas presents, New York Daily News reported.
“Mommy ruined Christmas, she got drunk and ruined Christmas,” Wallace allegedly told the children, according to prosecutors.
