The final defendant has been sentenced for helping a retired sheriff’s investigator murder his wife in cold blood.

Casey Lynn Rogers, 30, is set to serve 60 years in a Virginia prison, with the rest of her 108-year term suspended, Henry County Assistant Commonwealth Attorney Jessica Henson told Law&Crime on Thursday.

That’s more than the 30 years active prison sentence (with 30 years suspended) that the lead defendant, former Henry County sheriff’s investigator David Lee Morse, is serving and more than the 55-year active term (with 35 years suspended) served by Rogers’ boyfriend, Collin Joshua Russell, 40. The fourth defendant, Morse’s mistress, Tanna Shelton Fitzgerald, was 54 when she overdosed on a prescription at the Henry County Jail and died at the hospital.
