A Minnesota man was sentenced to more than 33 years in prison for stabbing his wife to death during a Bible study session.
Robert Castillo, 41, who pleaded guilty in March to second-degree murder, apologized in court Friday for killing his wife, Corinna Woodhull, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported. They had been married about two years and have five children, who are now ages 11 to 24.
Castillo’s sister told police she hosted a weekly Bible study at her St. Paul home. On the night of March 21, 2023, the couple was sitting on a couch when Castillo whispered something in Woodhull’s ear. After she shook her head “no,” Castillo pulled out a hunting knife and stabbed her multiple times, until his own family disarmed him.
So he already had a hunting knife on his person and was just waiting for an answer? That sounds more premeditated than simply second degree
Not sure that would be enough, lots of people carry a knife almost all the time.
Especially to church.
Not necessarily a hunting knife tho. That’s a pretty big knife to just shove in your pocket.
It’s pretty common for hunting knives to be foldable.
The other alternative is he keeps it in his meat pocket. Much more room than pants pocket.
Real hunting knives are full tang so they can take the stress of butchering game … so not foldable.
I’m no expert but if you google “hunting knives” you’ll get results with folding and non folding. It’s pretty easy to assume whoever wrote the article could call any of these knives in the search result a hunting knife. Why is this even a discussion?
