The court determined, “Although the defendant was heavily intoxicated beyond reasonable state, he brutally murdered his wife, ignoring her desperate plea for life.”
The man was also found guilty of interfering with police affairs. He had shown unconstrained violence against police at the scene of the crime and had to be taken down by force with a taser gun.
