Cop who murdered wife gets life in prison


Cop Brett Seacat who killed his wife and tried to cover it up by burning down their house was sentenced Monday to life in prison with the possibility of parole. Under the judge's sentence -- the maximum allowable under Kansas law -- Seacat must spend 31 years and three months behind bars before he's eligible for parole. During her closing argument, prosecutor Amy Hanley said Seacat was full of uncontrollable rage because his wife had filed for divorce and was kicking him out their house.
"He was like a burning fuse," said Hanley. "That's why he was reckless."
