Well, he pleaded guilty and pretty much is possible that he is going to get life in prison...why he had to do kill his own wife in such a way?. This is so sad.

'I shot Lori': Mark Hacking pleads guilty in brutal slaying of his wife

Mark Douglas Hacking, the Salt Lake husband who acted grief-stricken last summer over his missing wife while a huge manhunt was under way, admitted Friday to killing his wife, 27-year-old Lori Soares Hacking.
