“Family Feud” Contestant who murdered wife is sentenced to Life

During his appearance on Family Feud, Timothy Bleifnick indicated that things in his marriage were less than perfect. When asked by the television host, Steve Harvey, “what’s the biggest mistake you made at your wedding?” Bliefnick looked off to the side as if looking at his wife then answered, “Honey I’m sorry, but said ‘I do.'” Steve Harvey, really at a loss for words, was dumbfounded.

The couple later went through a bitter divorce and custody battle and on February 23rd, his ex-wife’s body was discovered by her father riddled with 14 bullets in her home. Timothy was later found guilty of her murder.

At the sentencing on Friday, Adams County Judge Robert Adrian said Bliefnick would spend the rest of his life in prison on two counts of murder and another of home invasion after denying a defense motion.

“Mr. Bliefnick, you researched this murder. You planned this murder. You practiced this murder. You broke into her house, and you shot her one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 times,” the judge said, raising his voice as he counted through each gunshot wound Becky Postle Bliefnick suffered in the second floor of her home. Bliefnick did not live there.

“I don’t know how long it took you to do that, but some of those shots were fired while she was lying on the ground. And you did all of that while your children were upstairs at your house, lying snug in their beds.”

“When you murdered Becky, you took from your boys the person who loved them the most on this Earth,” Bernadette Postle, the victim’s mother, said, reading from a statement as Bliefnick looked on, his back to the courtroom camera. “You replaced their mother’s love with emotional scars and trauma that will last their lifetimes.”

Bliefnick declined to speak when the judge offered him the opportunity after Postle Bliefnick’s family read their victim impact statements to the court.

Police searched his home in early March and found more than two dozen shell casings in his basement that state forensics experts said were fired from the same gun as eight casings recovered at the crime scene.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
