90 Year Old Sentenced to 17.5 Years for Killing Wife

By Jeralyn

ADVERTISEMENTS

John Bunz, age 90, battered his wife to death with a hammer after an argument about health care. They had been married 68 years. He then tried to kill himself, but failed. (Photo by AP shows his self-inflicted wounds.) A neighbor discovered both bodies.

Bunz, a retired chemist, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter was sentenced today to 17.5 years in prison followed by 5 years supervised release (similar to parole).

He was originally charged with second degree murder. Why plead to the lesser crime? He gets an effective life sentence either way.
