CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) - The girlfriend of a retired judge has been sentenced to seven years in prison for shooting the elderly jurist last year in their Corpus Christi home.
The Corpus Christi Caller-Times reports (https://bit.ly/1X78h0U ) 42-year-old Trisha Bos was sentenced on Friday after pleading guilty to a charge of injury to the elderly with a deadly weapon, a first-degree felony.
Authorities said Bos shot retired Judge Jack Hunter in August and then called 911, claiming Hunter had shot himself.
Hunter told police he did not shoot himself and remembers waking up to the sound of a gunshot and felt pain in his face and throat.
Bos and Hunter had dated more than two years and lived together at the time of the shooting.
Hunter spent more than 20 years on the bench.
