Daytona Beach police say Ellen Gilland made a murder-suicide pact with her 77-year-old husband about three weeks before the shooting at a hospital.
The sentencing in a Daytona Beach slaying case shows that there should be more done to provide medical aid in dying.
A Volusia County judge handed down the sentence for Ellen Gilland, the 78-year-old woman who pleaded no contest to killing her terminally ill husband in what was meant to be a murder-suicide.
