The Posey County woman who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in her husband’s death was sentenced to 30 years in prison Thursday.
Higginson was accused of shooting and killing her husband, Troy Higginson, in 2018.
Deputies found Troy in the driver’s seat of a car in the middle of Wade Road with a gunshot wound to his chest.
Officials say he had filed for divorce.
She was charged with murder, but reached a plea deal in August.
The judge sentenced Peggy Higginson of Wadesville to the maximum sentence.
