An East Springfield, MO husband was sentenced to 80 years in prison for stabbing his wife 5 times in the chest and slashing her throat from the back on June 14, 2007. Richard Allred, 53, tried to commit suicide, but failed after he killed his wife Jamie on September 14, 2007.
The reason that the charges were 2nd instead of 1st degree murder was because the wife had a history of substance abuse problems and infidelity. Defense attorneys claimed that Richard was defensing himself from his wife. After conviction by a jury in March of this year, Green County Circuit Judge Tom Mountjoy meted out 30 years for 2nd degree murder and 50 years for armed criminal action, counts that will be served consecutively and almost ensures that Allred will die in prison.
