SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Utah woman was sentenced to nearly 50 years in prison Friday for helping her husband as he killed two Northern California sheriff’s deputies in 2014. Sacramento Superior Court Judge Steve White sentenced Janelle Monroy after jurors last month rejected her argument that she feared Luis Bracamontes would have killed her if she didn’t help him. Monroy, you did not start this reign of terror, but you joined in immediately after as an active participant,” White said, according to The Sacramento Bee . Bracamontes has repeatedly said in court that he killed the deputies and wished he had killed more. The deputies were killed shortly after the couple arrived in Sacramento during what Monroy said was a wandering journey spurred by Bracamontes’ drug-infused paranoia.
