PINE BLUFF — A Pine Bluff woman was found guilty of second-degree murder Tuesday night in Jefferson County for the 2018 shooting death of her husband who had angered her by subscribing to a pornographic satellite channel.
Patricia Hill, 69, faces up to 45 years in prison for shooting 65-year-old Frank Hill on July 28 last year. The trial moved on to the penalty phase late Tuesday night.
Hill, whom prosecutors had charged with capital murder, was facing a mandatory life sentence. However, the lesser charge carries a sentence ranging between six and 30 years with the possible addition of 15 years for the use of a firearm.
