Lazarine called his adult son at work on the day of her murder, claiming that he had a strange dream that he had shot his wife and requested that his son come home, police said.<br />
Upon arriving at the home, Nathan Lazirene discovered his mother’s body riddled with bullets on the living room floor, police said. She had been shot six times with a handgun including twice in the head and once in the back.<br />
Lazarine who owns a successful contracting business in Houston which he ran with his wife had been married to Deborah for 35 years at the time.<br />
Nathan Lazirene testified that his father had been undergoing psychotic treatment for a decade and took a raft off medication, but which he sometimes mixed with alcohol.<br />
Raymond told investigators he had been taking his prescription drugs on the day he shot his wife.</span></p>

<p>Lazarine’s attorneys argued before the court on Monday that he suffers from a medical condition that results in sleepwalking, KPRC reported.<br />
“Our position over here is this was a dream and it wasn’t voluntary,” attorney Feroz F. Merchant told KPRC. “And he does, we’ve had him evaluated, and obviously the experts are going to come by and say hey, we think he suffers from a medical condition where it’s involuntary.”<br />
But investigators said that Lazarine had only made comments to the effect of the episode being “like a dream.”<br />
“He mentioned something there that was more of an off the wall comment about, ‘This is like a dream. I wish I could wake up from.&#8217;” Something along those lines,” homicide detective Fil Waters said, according to KPRC.<br />
If convicted, Lazarine faces up to life in prison.</p>
