DENVER (AP) — A federal judge sentenced the girlfriend of the dentist convicted of murdering his wife on an African safari to 17 years in prison Friday. Family members of the woman killed said in victim statements that Lori Milliron destroyed their family. Milliron was convicted last year of perjury, being an accessory to a murder after the fact and obstructing a grand jury in a case that’s garnered national attention. Milliron’s attorney said the prison sentence is excessive and they plan to appeal. In her final statement, Milliron said she was innocent of the convictions and was “sympathetic” to the Rudolph family.
