According to NBC affiliate WGEM, Adams County Judge Robert Adrian said: “You researched this murder, you planned this murder, you practiced this murder, you broke into her house and you shot her. Most of the shots were fired while on the ground, she was laying. And it happened all while your children were upstairs at your house, laying in their beds.” The consequence is heavy for killing his ex-wife.
