The Shield's Michael Jace Has Been Sentenced To 40 Years To Life In Prison For Killing His Wife!
Michael Jace is going to jail for a VERY long time.
On Friday, The Shield alum was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for murdering his wife, April. Back in 2014, the actor was arrested when cops arrived at his home to find his longtime love had died of gunshot wounds.
The 53-year-old was charged with killing the late athlete, and ultimately found guilty even though he pleaded the opposite.

The New Jersey native had told detectives he never intended to kill his wife, but did admit to shooting her, because he was angry that his spouse wanted a divorce.
And during his sentencing, Michael apologized to her family, saying there are "no justifications for his actions."
We're glad justice is being served, and our hearts are with everyone affected by April's tragic death.
