Just before he was sentenced to life in prison on Friday for the murder of his wife, Ben Sebena addressed the court for about two minutes — talking about the crime and his remorse for what he did.
Sebena killed his wife Jennifer, a Wauwatosa police officer, on Christmas Eve 2012.
"Every night...every morning, I think about Jen — what I've done to her and what I've taken away from this world," he told Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge David Borowski . "I ask for forgiveness and I hope to God you give it to me one day."
