Kentucky Man Sentenced

{Kentucky}...Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate handed down a 60 year sentence Friday for 34 year old Alastair Couch, who says he was "wrongly convicted" in the 2010 shooting death of 37 year old Tomma Graves. Graves, who was found shot to death in her pickup truck on August 2, 2010, in a parking lot in downtown Frankfort, had counseled victims of domestic violence since 2007 for the county attorney and commonwealth's attorney. Graves and Couch had an on-and-off romantic relationship since they had met at Kentucky State University in Frankfort. Wingate sentenced Couch to 50 years for the slaying and 10 years for evidence tampering.
