Miami man claims self-defense; photo of wife's body was posted on Facebook
By Joe Sutton, CNN
(CNN) -- A Miami man who shot and killed his wife during a fight at their home in August and allegedly uploaded a picture of her corpse to his Facebook page told police he was defending himself, officials said.
"I'm not a killer," Derek Medina said in an August video released Friday by prosecutors. "I do not feel that I'm guilty and I feel like this was self-defense."
Medina, who has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, said he and his wife, Jennifer Alonso, were having an argument in the bedroom when "she started throwing stuff, objects, towards me," such as towels, mascara, creams, boxes and shoes.
"Anything in the room she could throw at me," said Medina, who told police he had been an amateur boxer with a 25-0 record. " ....I got hit in the face a few times."
