Benzie County, MI: Wife Sentenced for Killing Trooper Husband

Posted: 8/10/2010
The woman who admitted to shooting and killing her State Police Officer husband, Sergeant Melvin Holbrook, was sentenced today.

Joni Holbrook was sentenced to a minimum of six years in prison but with time served Holbrook may do only a bit more than five years.

Holbrook admitted to shooting her husband three times last August while he was sleeping at their Benzie County home.

The defense claimed Sergeant Holbrook was controlling, manipulative, and sexually abusive.

She accepted a plea deal of second degree murder last month.
