(Benton, IL) — A southern Illinois man is looking at 60 years in prison for the shooting death of his wife back in 2016. A jury yesterday convicted Brian Pheasant of first-degree murder for shooting his wife Beth. Prosecutors say Pheasant killed his wife because she was cheating, but told the jury that’s not an excuse to take someone’s life. Pheasant is due to be sentenced later this summer.
