As expected, an Iowa City man who pleaded guilty to killing his wife has been sentenced to 50 years in prison.
Judge Kevin McKeever officially entered the sentence against 70-year-old Roy Browning on a 2nd Degree Murder charge on Friday. Browning reached a plea deal with prosecutors earlier this year. He was initially charged with 1st Degree Murder, and would have faced life in prison if convicted on that charge.
JoEllen Browning was 65 when she was found dead just after 7am April 5th 2019 at the couple’s Green Mountain Drive home. An autopsy concluded that she died of sharp-force injuries.
