Joseph Bailly Wright of Dakota was sentenced Thursday to 10 years and eight months behind bars, with credit for 377 days already served. Wright pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of his wife.
The body of Klara Wright, 72, was found in a chair at their home on July 10, 2020. Authorities say Wright apparently hit his wife in the head with a hammer-like object and stabbed her twice, once in the liver and once in the heart.
