‘Half the story:' Las Vegas reality star opens up about murder plot, asks judge to sentence wife to prison
Police arrested Victoria Goodwin, 32, in April. She will serve between three and seven-and-a-half years in a state penitentiary under a guilty plea she entered in April. Judge Nadia Krall spared Goodwin — who conspired with a felon serving time in a Florida prison for murder — the maximum sentence of 10 years.
Wife of 'Ghost Adventures' star agrees to plead guilty to conspiracy to murder
Goodwin is married to Aaron Goodwin, a Las Vegas resident and host of the television program 'Ghost Adventures.'
'I feel terrible,' Goodwin told the 8 News Now Investigators after court. 'All this is such a mess. I haven't seen her since she dropped me off at the airport. So that was the first time I've even looked at her. It's tough. But that's just half the story. Wait till you hear the rest of it.'
Victoria Goodwin apologized in court to her parents and to her estranged husband, who filed for divorce after his wife's arrest.
'I genuinely pray you find your joy and peace again,' she said before the judge handed down her sentence. 'And I will bow out of your life forever to hopefully ease that process. I'm sorry I broke us, and I'm consumed with regret every day. My absolute promise to you is that you will never see or hear from me. I intend to leave the state of Nevada, and you and anyone else will never be in danger of me ever again.'
Aaron Goodwin, in an emotional in-court statement before the sentencing, said she had plotted his murder while he was being 'just a loving husband' and did nothing to stop it.
He told the judge that prison time seemed appropriate.
'Whether she got minimum or maximum time, I still won't feel safe whenever she's released,' Aaron Goodwin said. 'I feel like this deserves prison time, I don't know. So I just leave it in your hands, your honor.'
Goodwin originally faced an additional charge for solicitation to commit murder, but the plea deal she made eliminated that charge.
