Prosecutors say a former pastor convicted in the death of his pregnant wife should spend 13 to 15 years behind bars. Crown attorneys are making their sentencing submissions in the case of Philip Grandine, who was found guilty of manslaughter in February in the death of his wife Anna Grandine. Defence lawyers argued Anna Grandine took the medication herself because she was depressed about the affair, and either slipped and drowned in the tub or took her own life. In the previous trial, Philip Grandine was charged with first-degree murder but found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 15 years in prison. As a result, prosecutors in this trial were barred from alleging Philip Grandine intended to kill his wife.
