A Montgomery County man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for the murder of his wife. The man, whose name has not been released, was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of his wife, who was found dead in their home in 2021.
During the trial, prosecutors presented evidence that the man had a history of domestic violence and had threatened to kill his wife. They also presented evidence that he had purchased a gun shortly before the murder and had used it to shoot his wife.
The man’s defense team argued that he had acted in self-defense, claiming that his wife had attacked him with a knife and that he had only fired the gun to protect himself. However, the jury rejected this argument and found the man guilty of murder.
