PICKENS (AP) -- A South Carolina man has been convicted of shooting and killing his wife last year.
53-year-old Clifford Austin Wylie was sentenced Wednesday in court in Pickens to life in prison without parole.
Prosecutors say Melissa Wylie was shot in the back at their home last February.
A seven-woman, five-man jury deliberated for a little more than an hour before returning guilty verdicts on charges of murder, illegal conduct toward a child and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Wylie's 8-year-old son was in the house when Melissa Wylie was killed.
Defense attorney John DeJong says Clifford Wylie has lost his health and family and has shown a great deal of remorse.
