An elderly woman in Florida is facing attempted murder charges when her husband received a postcard from his ex-girlfriend.

A 71-year-old woman from Florida, Bertha Yalter, has been arrested for attempting to murder her husband. The incident occurred on January 28, after her husband received a postcard from one of his ex-girlfriends. According to WSAZ 3, Yalter has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery on a person 65 and older, and tampering with a victim.

The couple, who lived in Eastern Shores North Miami Beach, were caught in a heated argument when the husband showed Yalter the postcard from his ex-girlfriend. Yalter flew into a violent rage and attacked her husband. He later told the police that she tried to smother him with a pillow, bit him, and physically battered him.

The arrest report describes the victim as "extremely fragile" with serious bruises, open lacerations, and bite marks that were bleeding. Yalter was taken into custody by the responding officers and is currently being held without bond in the Miami Dade County jail for attempted murder.

The investigators have asked for the public's help in gathering more information about the incident. They have also obtained a cell phone recording of the violent altercation as evidence. According to Law and Crime, Yalter admitted to the domestic violence while in police custody.

However, Yalter's lawyer, Jeff Weiner, told the outlet that her husband wanted to drop the case. He stated that the altercation was only a marital spat that turned "unfortunate and distasteful." Weiner also clarified that Yalter did not try to smother her husband with a pillow, as claimed by the victim.

Weiner further added that if Yalter is released from jail, she will be under a temporary restraining order from her husband and will be unable to contact him, as ordered by the court. He also mentioned that both Yalter and her husband are "sick" about the situation, and it has been blown out of proportion.

This incident has caused a lot of turmoil for the couple, and it is a difficult time for both of them. Yalter's husband has decided to drop the charges, and they are both hoping to move past this incident as soon as possible. The original source of the story, Black Enterprise, first reported the news of Yalter's arrest.
