Missouri man who killed wife gets 35-year federal sentence
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A federal judge has extended the prison sentence of a southeastern Missouri man who killed the mother of his triplets amid a divorce and then helped write the manuscript for a tell-all book while behind bars.
James Clay Waller, 47, of Jackson, was sentenced Tuesday to 35 years for a federal charge of interstate domestic violence. Under the sentence, he also is barred from profiting from the manuscript, which is titled, "'If You Take My Kids, I'll Kill You!': The Public Confession of Missouri's Most Notorious Wife Killers.
