A Massachusetts man accused of killing and dismembering his wife over an affair is appealing his 37-month federal prison sentence after he pleaded guilty in a scheme to sell counterfeit Andy Warhol paintings.

Walshe, 49, is appealing his recent art fraud conviction after he was sentenced last month. He pleaded guilty in April 2021 to charges of wire fraud, interstate transportation for a scheme to defraud and unlawful monetary transaction.

The news comes as he awaits trial in the murder of his wife, Ana Walshe, 39. He was indicted last year on charges of murder, misleading a police investigation, obstruction of justice, and improper conveyance of a human body, prosecutors said. A hearing in the murder case was set for May 1 so his recent court-appointed attorney could get up to speed, NBC Boston affiliate WBTS reported.
