Minnesota Man Pleads Guilty to Killing His Wife

A 47-year-old man, who lives in Minneapolis, plead guilty to stabbing his wife in an argument over money. They were married for 24 years. The 47-year-old husband, Billy Nash, stabbed his wife more than 70 times in the chest and head. Pauline Nash, 42-year-old wife, was stabbed with butcher and paring knives. The paper also brought up that Billy Nash was sent to court 10 days prior to the killing of his wife because he beat her several times. This all happened last April, and Billy Nash will be sentenced November 29th. I think it is ridiculous that someone could do such a horrible thing to another human being. Also, the court needs to do things more differently i think. I don't understand why things take so long and why their is always a long period until the person goes to jail, even if the person pleads guilty. When someone is guilty for a horrible murder, they could just get a couple years, but when someone is charged with rape, they get longer then if they murdered someone. I don't understand the different laws and how they can let someone off the hook for such a terrible  reason.
