Brothers found guilty of the November 2017 murder-for-hire shooting of an Enterprise, Alabama, elementary school teacher and mother to two sets of twins were sentenced on Thursday to spend the rest of their lives in federal prison, and two of Sara Starr’s children had a clear message for their father, the victim’s ex-husband.

“I never want to see you again. You are useless,” one child said to 50-year-old Jason Starr, while another said, “I hope you rot,” local Fox affiliate WTVY reported.

The defendant and his brother, 54-year-old Darin Starr of Texas, were found guilty by a federal jury in September of carrying out a murder-for-hire conspiracy just months after Jason Starr and Sara Starr divorced and days after Thanksgiving. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama, the “unthinkable” crime was committed after a judge sided with Sara Starr and awarded her “a significant portion” of her ex-husband’s “income” as part of the divorce.

AL.com reported that Jason Starr was ordered to pay more than $1,000 in child support and $1,500 in alimony in a shared custody arrangement that also cost him “a portion of his military benefits.”
