BRYAN, Texas — A Bryan woman whose common-law husband was found fatally shot in their home has been sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Courtney Keefer pleaded guilty to murder as part of a plea agreement.
The victim was 24-year-old Marco Anthony Sifuentez-Carillo. His body was found last January.
Keefer on Wednesday expressed regret for the killing. She told the judge that she and her common-law spouse had been having problems and she shot him because she "thought that was the way out."
Keefer told police that Sifuentez-Carillo had been abusive to her and to their 2-year-old daughter. The girl has been placed with relatives.
