An attorney for Brian Walshe says he disposed of his wife Ana's body, but that she died from natural causes.
Walshe's trial got underway yesterday in Dedham, where the Cohasset man is accused of first degree murder.
The attorney said during opening statements that Walshe panicked and disposed of his wife's body because he didn't think anyone would believe that her death was natural.
Prosecutors say Walshe killed his wife and disposed of her body, indicating he wanted to collect on her life insurance policy.
Testimony in the case continues today.
