DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- An Iowa man convicted of kidnapping and killing his estranged wife has shocked his sentencing hearing by insisting that she deserved to be killed.
Randall Todd Moore, formerly of Ottumwa, launched a tirade against TereseAnn Lynch and her family during his hearing Friday.
He accused Lynch of not letting him see his children and said he hopes that there are "more cases just like this."
Polk County District Judge Joel Novak sentenced the 39-year-old to three back-to-back life sentences, plus 25 years for the attempted murder of a Des Moines police officer.
Moore was convicted last month of kidnapping Lynch from a mall parking lot and sexually assaulting her before shooting her in the head one year ago. He also shot a responding Des Moines police officer in the hand.
