Man Who Beat His Wife To Death In Front Of Family On Alaska Cruise Gets 30 Years | Oxygen Official Site
The husband’s attorneys claim in a court filing that Manzanares had brain abnormalities from playing contact sports, as well as undiagnosed bipolar disorder and “a problematic combination of prescribed medication and alcohol resulted in an aberrant episode of violence,” according to the report.
They requested a seven-and-a-half year term while prosecutors, who depicted Manzanares as a violent bully, asked for life.
During this week’s sentencing hearing, the slain woman’s father Jeff Hunt told Burgess that he hopes Manzanares “gets what he deserves,” the Associated Press reports.
He said he considered life behind bars for his son-in-law to be justice for the killing.
