FLORENCE, Ala. (AP) — A 32-year-old Lauderdale County man will spend the rest of his life in prison for killing his ex-wife in 2009.
Christopher Michael Rich pleaded guilty on Wednesday to capital murder for the shooting death and robbery of 24-year-old Hollie Elizabeth Newbury. As part of the plea agreement, Rich was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The TimesDaily reports that Rich admitted to Lauderdale County Circuit Court Judge Gil Self that he killed Newbury before taking her car.
Rich provided no details about the shooting that occurred as the couple were swapping custody of their two daughters, then 6 years and 15 months, at a home on Alabama 17 in the Zip City community. The couple had divorced earlier that year.
