A judge in Texas sentenced a man to 40 years in prison for murdering his wife just months into their marriage.

Jared Dicus, 23, confessed to killing his wife, Anggy Diaz, 21, on Jan. 11, 2023, the same day that her mutilated body was discovered near the couple’s residence, according to the Waller County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO).

The newlyweds were living in a home on the property of Dicus’ parents, who alerted police after coming across their daughter-in-law’s body, according to the WCSO.

Sheriff Troy Guidry described the scene at a press conference a few days later, saying: “A portion of the body was dismembered, and the residence was covered in blood. Gruesome scene at best.”

    You would think so, but remember that parole isn’t a given in Texas, and he will have to spend at least 19 in prison before parole can even be considered. Average life expectancy for men in the US is 73, and 23 + 40 = 63; this guy will be in a hot Texas prison for most of his adult life and will likely not live much past getting out.

    ETA: also, the parents accepted the terms of the plea deal, and since they’re the ones aggrieved, they should ultimately get to decide what’s fair justice.
