A North Dakota man will spend the rest of his life in prison for the beating death of his wife, who he initially said face-planted on the stairs.

Spencer Moen, 32, learned his fate on Monday for the murder of Sonja Moen, 30. He was convicted in October.

“I just can’t seem to get out of that space. You beat the life out of my daughter. And to make it worse, you did it in front of the kids,” said the victim’s mother, Kristin Scofield, in court. “I will continue to pray for forgiveness, but currently, it is not in my soul. I’m sorry.”
