LOUISA COUNTY - A local man who killed his wife over an argument about Christmas lights will spend the rest of his life in prison.
A Louisa County judge handed down that sentence to 54-year-old Forrest Smythers Junior today.
Back in January Smythers shot and killed his wife following an argument over whether to take down their Christmas lights.
Smythers' lawyers said it was an accident.
Saying the gun went off when his wife grabbed it as he walked out the door.
The jury did not believe that story.
