Peridot Woman Sentenced to 15 Years for Killing Her Husband
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Terri Lynn Victor, 43, of Peridot, made headlines recently when she was sentenced to 180 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for the murder of her husband.
The crime took place in the late-night hours of July 6, 2022, and into the early morning hours of July 7, 2022, when Victor stabbed her husband in the chest, ultimately killing him.
Victor pleaded guilty to Voluntary Manslaughter on February 14, 2024, in a plea deal that likely saved her from facing even harsher penalties.
The investigation into the crime was conducted by the San Carlos Apache Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The prosecution was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dimitra Sampson and Vinnie Lichvar, District of Arizona, Phoenix.
Victor, a member of the San Carlos Apache Tribe, will now spend 15 years behind bars for her heinous crime. Her sentence also includes three years of supervised release after her release from prison.
