(Dayton-AP) -- A former State Highway Patrol trooper has been sentenced to ten years in prison for shooting and critically wounding his wife and then trying to cover it up. Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Dennis Langer today sentenced 37-year-old Luther McCormick for his convictions on felonious assault and tampering with evidence. McCormick could have gotten up to 16 years in prison.
McCormick's 39-year-old wife, Tara, was shot in the face as she slept on the family room couch in the couple's suburban Miamisburg apartment in the early morning of July 24th, 2001. Her husband was found later at the patrol's Xenia post, about 20 miles away. The patrol fired him for dishonesty after its administrative investigation of the shooting. Tara McCormick testified on her husband's behalf during the trial. |
