The woman who shot and killed her ex-boyfriend, while he was making a 911 call, has been sentenced to 29 years and two months in prison.
Michelle Rae Wilson, 47, of St. Paul, was sentenced Thursday in the Jan. 13, 2008 death of 33-year-old Carl Jackson.
Jackson was calm during the 911 call to report that he tried to leave during a fight with his ex-girlfriend at his house.
While on the line, he tells the operator that his ex-girlfriend was hitting him.
"My ex-friend is here beating me upside my head," Jackson said during the call. "I'm trying not to hit her so I'm trying to get out the house."
The ex-girlfriend can be heard screaming about him hitting her while he tells the operator that he is still on the line.
A few seconds later, gunshots and yelling are heard. The phone goes silent as the operator repeatedly asks if he is there.
Wilson was convicted of intentional second-degree murder on Dec. 16, 2009. Police said she was mad because Jackson broke up with her.
