A former Georgia nurse will spend the rest of his life behind bars after killing his wife less than two months into their marriage.
Benjamin Whitaker was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without parole following his conviction in the 2021 killing of his wife, Tiffani Scarborough,accordingto WMAZ-TV.
The sentence came after a retrial earlier this year following a previous jury deadlock.
Whitaker was convicted on felony murder, malice murder, and two counts of aggravated assault.
Investigators said Scarborough was found shot to death in the couple’s kitchen at their home on Penn Avenue in Dublin, Georgia. The killing happened just 59 days after the couple’s wedding.

By Whitaker’s own admission, it was his wife’s “nagging” about his excess drinking that set him off, The Courier Heraldreported.
During an interview with detectives, Whitaker confirmed the “nagging” is what set him off.
“She was chastising me about having a couple of drinks. That nagging set me off,” he said.
