Beau Rothwell was convicted of murder for killing Jennifer Rothwell at their Missouri home in 2019. He admitted to killing her but claimed it was not premeditated.
A Missouri man who killed his pregnant wife with a mallet in 2019 was sentenced to life in prison without parole Friday, the St. Louis County prosecutor's office said.
A jury convicted Beau Rothwell, 31, in April of first-degree murder in Jennifer Rothwell's slaying in Creve Coeur, west of St. Louis.
Before she was killed, Jennifer Rothwell had looked up “what to do if your husband is upset you are pregnant,” search warrants in the case showed, according to NBC affiliate KSDK of St. Louis.
Beau Rothwell testified at trial that he killed his wife during a heated argument over his affair with another woman, but the killing was not premeditated.

He could have had a vasectomy instead.
