'Facebook Killer' Husband Who Posted Photo of Slain Wife on Social Media Sentenced to Life in Prison

...love conquers...then where is the place of love that forgives wrongs and subdues hurts in relationship? Marriage should have been a place for safety not hostile.

A 33-year-old Florida man has been sentenced to life behind bars in the 2013 shooting death of his wife.

Derek Medina was convicted in November of killing his wife. He was nicknamed the "Facebook Killer" by Miami media outlets after he posted a picture of his slain wife Jennifer Alfonso's corpse on the social network.

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Yvonne Colodny imposed the maximum possible sentence on Medina. In a recorded statement to police, Medina claimed that he shot his wife during an altercation in which she threatened him with a knife. He admitted to taking a photo of his wife and posting the picture on Facebook.

During sentencing, Judge Colodny had harsh words for Medina. "You foretold your future," she told him. "You wrote on Facebook that 'I am going to prison.' And that is where you will be going."

Medina will be eligible for parole after serving 25 years.
