"Dentist's African safari murder leads to life sentence"

A wealthy dentist, Larry Rudolph, has been sentenced to life in prison and over $15 million in penalties for the murder of his wife during an African safari in Zambia. Rudolph cashed in insurance policies worth nearly $5 million and prosecutors allege that he planned to use the money to live a lavish retirement with his girlfriend. Rudolph's lawyers plan to appeal the conviction. The sentencing hearing has focused on the financial penalties, with the government seeking an estimated $25 million in restitution, seized property, and fines.
