Woman Gets Life Sentence for Killing Husband

A 61-year old Santa Ana woman got a life sentence for killing her sick husband to collect on his life insurance policy and retirement funds. Prosecutors said Jessee Aehlert and her son, Thomas Aehlert hired a hit man to kill her third husband because she was tired of caring for him, she wanted to avoid paying for his cancer treatment, and she wanted to collect on his insurance and retirement. The sentence imposed Friday does not allow for the possibility of parole, according to a story in the San Jose Mercury News.
