Noah Gaston, 38, is serving 40 years in prison for murdering his wife in 2016. A jury convicted him in November 2019, and his sentencing was initially delayed by the onset of the pandemic the following spring. The hearing finally took place in June 2020. The court capped the number of people in the courtroom at 10, so others gave their statements on video or entered the courtroom only briefly to speak.
