COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — A Council Bluffs woman convicted of fatally stabbing her former boyfriend has been sentenced to 50 years in prison. The Daily Nonpareil reports a judge Friday sentenced 47-year-old Jodie Sherman in the July 2014 death of 52-year-old Douglas Richt. Sherman must also pay $150,000 in restitution.

She was found guilty of second-degree murder in February after being accused of stabbing Richt in the throat during an argument. Richt died while being taken to a hospital. Sherman’s attorneys argued that she’s not guilty by reason of insanity. The judge rejected the insanity defense but dropped the charge down from first-degree murder.
