An Oklahoma woman found guilty of killing her husband in late October was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

A Mayes County judge handed down the sentence to Wendy Cobb Wednesday afternoon.  A jury convicted Cobb of the murder which happened in 2009.

Wendy's ex-boyfriend Nicholas Shires admitted killing Michael Cobb, because Wendy wanted her husband dead and was willing to pay.

Shires told a jury that Michael Cobb was beaten then dragged inside his home and set on fire.
